Haha. He’s trying to get his business back up so he can move back. From what I gathered, he imported/sold luxury cars over there. He did say Dubai was like a completely different world from the rest of the country. He never left the city limits, lol.
The dude is doing good for himself, that's cool, I hope he gets that business running, gets back to Dubai and starts living some more and shit, blesses to him no lie lol
Man, it’s easier than you think. You only need to memorize about 1,000 words out of the ~10,000 in any language. Just focus on the most commonly used words that are used in conversation everyday (the, what, how, etc.).
Nah, but I speak two other languages. I have studied enough Arabic to get by because of my former line of work (military) so I understand some but I can’t read it fully or always respond. Needs work.
That's pretty cool tho, you also know some Arabic now, you must be good at learning languages, that's a skill that's gotta be so beneficial to acquire.
Your father has quite a memory and skill, if you and your siblings got that from him that is so good bro, I tried learning Chinese for like 10 seconds, I saw the alphabet and it was like deciphering a government firewall lol
Lmao. I tried to learn Chinese in case we start seeing parachutes in the sky or whatever, 20 minutes in I was like nah I’m good. It’s still a goal of mine though. I just have to get back into that type of discipline.
Unfortunately, no. I didn’t follow his footsteps. I don’t think many people can, to be honest. He was a government translator, a stock broker, and a professor. He was against me joining the military (he thought it was people who lacked intelligence & options). I currently work for the government but it’s a desk job. I never made him proud, unfortunately. We can’t please everybody, haha. Fuggit.
No lie if I started seeing parachutes I'm not speaking to them, they surely aren't parachuting into our country to reason anon lol
I actually believe in your own way, you made your father proud, even if he never admitted it, his talent glued onto you, let's not forget if he believed you were too smart for the military, what does that say? It says he knew your potential and it was higher than the military, either ways I don't believe you've made your full mark yet, at some point you'll reach the top, you've already accomplished more than the regular person, I couldn't learn a language if my life depended on it, you learned a full language as a child bruh 😂
I appreciate that. You real af for that. Thank you. In my mind, I was like well, if I learn Chinese, I could protect everybody else much better. I already know combat and how to use/unjam weapons. I used to hit my target every time. I just need to understand the enemy. A whole movie in my head, LOL. Ridiculous. Crazy times we’re living in got me thinking in survival mode. I’d train all the neighbors combat skills in my garage and shi. Lmao. I’ll be alright.
Nothing but facts missy, There's so much you can do if you learned Chinese tho
And yes some movie shit by saving people and doing all kinds of Chinese finessing is one but in a none chaotic subject you can do some crazy negotiations with the Chinese, China is one of the countries with the highest trading value, they not only trade a lot with the US but other countries as well, almost everything is made in china here and you can get some crazy deals, I know for a fact they would respect someone that speaks Chinese over some English speaking bastard, I wouldn't be surprised if they respected you enough not to try to finesse your ass lol
They are gonna be like "not that one, that one speaks Chinese" *little Chinese vow*
Yeah, I know I’ll finally discipline myself and learn it. My intuition has never failed me and this is something I feel I should learn ASAP. With everything that’s going on in the world I’m uncertain about our safety and I don’t want to be in the predicament of having to defend our people and not knowing what’s being said by the opposing team. God help us cause things are gonna get “thick” in a few years. Stay strapped.
Always strapped, I've been ready even for the Russians a couple of years ago lol
You sound like a smart chick, there's a lot of talent in you, if you can learn Chinese, I think you should cease the opportunity, you seem to have the God given gift for it so you should use it, and I also don't believe you should stop there, you got potential for much more, ah you got this, if China ever starts shit you can translate and I'll be muscle lol
No doubt. Either way, I know if anybody parachutes in here they’re getting dealt with on sight, no questions asked. We don’t play that shi. That’s one thing about us Americans, we can disagree with each other but we got each other’s backs at the end of the day. We stay ready.
Yep that's for sure, let's be foreal tho, we will probably be that last line of defense because of the military but still, we fighting with honor mwahahaha
Well my ass is most likely gonna get drafted, and thats that not only did I not enlist but they gonna pay me less too, if they are gonna force me to fight, at least pay me more considering I won't even have the damn training 😂
You and me both. Females will now be drafted too because of the possibility of a conflict with China. My father-in-law, who served in Vietnam, told me something that saved my life because it changed my mindset. When you see your best friend get hit, it’ll make you want to charge the enemy until your very last round is spent. It’ll take everything you got to fight the urge to do this. Remember to fight smart. Dig yourself a fox hole and take them down one by one. You’ll feel like you’re the only one left from your platoon/company out there. & you’ll feel like a coward for playing the waiting game, but you’ll win and you’ll live, because you didn’t let your pain interfere with your goal.
Well that's surely one heck of a lesson, they should put you in charge so you aren't in the fox hole alone, if they listen to you, you can command them into the patient game, your father raised you well tho, with that survivor mentality, it's crazy, you'll live long my Floridian friend 😂🤝
Nah, it’s hard to rank up. Making NCO is difficult enough. There are people who volunteer to be drill sergeants just to rank up. Too much favoritism in the military & I don’t kiss ass. I love my people but there’s corruption everywhere.
Bruh where did you come from, you gotta be a new user, if not then I've been sleeping on you heavily, your mindset is on point, not only that the government owns you once you sign into the military, it's just crazy shit lol
I'd move to Canada, so much space for the population. Find my own piece of heaven. And I'm half Canadian and am desperate to see my family out there many of them for the first time

I have family in Canada too. I’ve always dreamed of building a cabin up there and getting away from it all. Good choice.
