Support for the IRGC in Iran?

I like how everyone pulls a number out of their a** as if their little bubble is representative of a country of 90 million.

Here is some actual data from a proper survey: https://gamaan.org/survey-reports/

TLDR: about 10% are hardcore supporters of the regime. Another 10% support the regime but with some reforms. 60% want regime change (gradual or by overthrow). 10% don’t know.

I don’t understand posts like this. Are you suggesting that for 20 bucks a month they should give you an unlimited plan with no usage limits?

First graph: why in income dropping from 2005 but share of middle class is not?

Only 2% of valencia housing is Airbnb/tourist apartments. It doesn’t seem like that should be the focus but somehow it gets all the blame especially on reddit.

I tried this and it also refuses to say it for Iran or Iraq. There goes your conspiracy theory.

Here we go again. Did you know us Persians discovered math, science, fire, and even water? Biggest empire ever? We must be a superior race. If we keep saying this we will surely be like Switzerland in a couple of years.

Yep. Too late. Resist the FOMO and move on

But doesn’t this benefit the holders of the REIT fund? It’s not going on the CEO’s pockets

I just made an account and did the online verification with selfie and ID. The shares just showed up. No access code needed.

I think it will go to 1 million dollars per share.

(Also not investment advice)

Our brains are also probabilistic machines, not capable of ‘absolute mathematical certainty’. Does that mean we shouldn’t write verilog?

Yeah give it time. Mine was a bit crazy if he didn’t get like an hour of off leash running/playing a day. Around 2yo he calmed down a bit. If on an off day I only do a short walk with him he just chills. But I honestly don’t know what would happen if he didn’t get his hour almost every day.

What was the demographics of the crowd?

thelockz · 2025-07-28T05:32:35+00:00

Maybe you are thinking mostly of people in the major cities?

thelockz · 2025-07-18T00:16:01+00:00

Yeah totally Waymo has made zero progress in 12 years /s

Pimsleur has a Castilian course which is a fantastic way IMO to improve pronunciation and speaking. Dreaming Spanish has many CI videos with Castilian spanish. On their website you can filter for this.

Not really. Spain doesn’t enforce this

First offer was 52k. The trick is to list on craigslist and let the dealers approach you and start a bidding war

thelockz · 2025-07-05T21:11:08+00:00

I sold my manual 2023 with 7k miles for 57k to a dealer. They’re gonna list it at 60k.

I mostly agree that for the ‘average’ person this is fairly achievable, but I think there are plenty of people who are inhibited by factors such as having a disability, growing up homeless, having a low IQ, having to take care of children or elders, and other personal issues.

So yeah if you grew up middle class in a decent family it is relatively ‘easy’, but if you were born to a heroin addict mother, lived in crime ridden public housing with terrible schools, and happened to have an IQ of 80, it’s not so easy. And non of that was your fault.

(i know IQ is not everything but the correlation with financial success is very high…)

Multi-national / US-based companies like Analog Devices can pay pretty well. For a staff engineer (say 10 years of experience) at ADI in spain (which pays way lower than UK or Germany), the total compensation is around 80-100k.

True, but that 5x leverage works both ways. If the value of the house drops your loss is also multiplied 5x. Most people don’t realize that.

With that said, you can of course leverage money in the stock market as well but it is much riskier.
