I completely disagree with the reckless rhetoric coming out of the United Nations General Assembly. Using the UN stage—a body designed to foster global diplomacy and peace—to openly muse about whether to "annihilate" a country and drive its people "into hell" is completely unhinged. We are seeing a leader actively messing up global stability, fracturing international alliances, and destroying the economy. This continuous pattern of threatening total destruction and escalating conflicts doesn't protect America; it creates endless wars, fuels global instability, and behaves exactly like a form of state-sponsored domestic terrorism that holds the entire world hostage to constant chaos.

The economic fallout of this warmongering is already devastating, keeping the global market on edge, driving up resource volatility, and draining taxpayer money into endless military aggression. A real leader uses diplomatic leverage to build strategic stability, not mafia-style ultimatums that threaten the existence of generations of civilians. This winner-take-all mentality is running the country's historic reputation directly into the ground and pushing us closer to a catastrophic global disaster.

What do y'all think about this? Does threatening complete annihilation make America look strong, or do you agree that this dangerous rhetoric is actively ruining our economy, our stability, and our standing in the world?

My body is ready

I was always so career-oriented, ever since I was a child. I always imagined being more successful in my career life by now, seeing that I just recently turned 32.

I have been told by numerous teachers (and even a college faculty member) that I am an exceptional writer. I worked as an Advanced EMT for several years, gaining experience and knowledge in both the healthcare and public safety lines of work. From there, I explored an entirely different line of work: software development. I taught myself a vast amount of languages, libraries, frameworks, tools, and other technologies. Sadly, a combination of different factors just completely derailed me: struggles with severe mental illesss over a decade, a stalking and harassment conviction with collateral damages, and advancements in AI causing me to rethink my career paths entirely. I have held a total of 25 jobs in a span of 15 years, and I am currently working my 26th role (part time).

Now as it stands today at age 32, I am a nobody in society. I am at least very fortunate to be married to the love of my life and having a roof over my head (thanks to my parents), but I am reliant of Social Security Disability (SSDI) income and a part time security job that pays $16.50 an hour/24 hours a week.

I feel like I am meant for something better in life and feel lost, career speaking. I am not a homeowner, and even without rent or mortgage payments I feel financially drained and unstable. I feel I am fighting this depression as if I am not living up to my full potential. I feel this intense, prolonged burnout. I don't even know what I am passionate for anymore.
