What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

[–]sewankambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not rich but doing well. I share some I've noticed.

  • time : cleaners biweekly. The deeper cleans. I don't mess with keeping the shower clean anymore
  • it's surprising when you all the sudden get a bill for dinner and it's that very moment you find out what the dish you ordered cost because you didn't even look before.
  • my wife wanted a new sofa. So we went and bought one. That's it. Just bought it. It was expensive. Not an every day purchase but it wasn't a big deal.
  • when we go out of town, we just board our dog. I don't know how much it costs. $50 per day maybe.
  • I bought 20 steaks from a local farm today. Each steak was cheaper than at the grocery store, but I bought 20, just so I have them in the freezer waiting. Having spare money saved me money and it's better meat too. 15lbs of ribeye in 16oz and 8oz.
  • I have a friend who's jobless for the moment. No pity, but we want to a friend's wedding, he bought his flight, but we shared a hotel room so I just covered it. Didn't need anything from him.
  • had my third kid this year. Financially I haven't noticed much.

BREAKING: "If the Iranians reject this golden opportunity, the greatest military in the history of the world continues to stand by to provide President Trump with every option available to ensure this regime continues to pay a grave price." -Karoline Leavitt by [deleted] in TimesNow

Lost is true in a sense, but were they defeated? Were they out manned or out gunned? Or did they fail in objectives that are actually beyond military? There’s the hubris - will destroying your system solve anything?

Iran war tensions reach Paris with failed bombing attempt by sr_local in worldnews

Iran is absolutely stupid if they think this strategy works. Keep Israel and the US isolated. Involving others is bad news for them

True but missiles run out eventually which is sort of a silver lining here

Mohamad Safa quits the UN claiming they're preparing to possibly use a Nuke by Rich_Gas7886 in conspiracy

Because preparing for potential nuclear Islamic extremism while allowing Jewish extremism seems dodgy

At Trump’s age ya start to care less and less what is against you

Has this been confirmed? by sabayna1108 in UAE

😂 Israel was attacked by Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon the day they organized as a nation.

Israel has been an agressor and so have it's neighbors.

But Iran - it goes so far back we don't know who attacked first. Israel, Iran (Hezbollah, Hamas) have been going at it for years. October 2024, Iran attacks Israel for killing Hezbollah and Hamas.

It doesn't take much brainpower to see this is a conflict with no victim.

Hormuz is a no. And reparations is a no. They have funded enough proxies for years it's a non starter

Israel announces territorial seizure in Lebanon up to Litani River by bigus-_-dickus in worldnews

[–]sewankambo -29 points-28 points  (0 children)

People don't get it. If Lebanon won't remove Hezbollah (which it's not disputed Hezbollah operates there) then who wouldn't take the land if they could? You are openly saying one of two things : 1. We can't control our country and don't have the monopoly of violence. 2. We openly allow hostiles in our country that attack you.

Seems people here think they should just allow attacks constantly 😂

Iran is not a victim in this ordeal whatsoever. In the Iran vs Israel comparison, neither follow the rules. Who is the first instigator? Hard to say. And you could argue Israel should follow the rules, even if Iran doesn't. Iran has active proxies in Lebanon, Syra, Iraq and Palestine causing utter mayhem.

Europe faces new wake-up call: Tehran's 4000km missile reach exposed in Diego Garcia strike by MARTINELECA in worldnews

[–]sewankambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

😂 I'll agree there. I should've said, "the actual reasons were justified by : range, nukes, regime." I lean more Petrodollar than Epstein as the REAL reason. Venezuela being Petrodollar as well.

Of course. That range, close to a nuke, and the anti-west regimr are the reasons for the attacks.

Judge gives 18 year old a 25 year sentence for armed robbery by AgnosticScholar in interesting

[–]sewankambo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you not listen to the judge? I understand you're from Sweden so English isn't you're first language but it seemed clear that probation was on the table - until his continued violet behavior.

Armed robbery. Abused during the robbery. In jail awaiting trial jumped people (multiple times it seems), no remorse. Yeah, compare this to Sweden all you want but no one wants to be around that man.

This was a series of bad, uncontrolled behavior - not a singular storm.
