these aren't embedded assets, these are at best street level thugs and pickpockets that picked up some extra cash from a real asset telling them "come on just burn this tire here you'll be out in a jiffy and if they catch you what's the charge burning your own property? come on man it's nothing serious". most of them couldn't probably even spell israel. if there was some serious shit these people would be out.

the depth is listed as 10 km. it's probably just an ill timed earthquake? plus if they were doing nuclear testing they would've strong armed them to not publish anything.

tl;dr: not worth it. try to get a job if you can. even doing gig economy work pays better.

idk about proper testing most QA positions are "proper jobs" (they mostly get hired as contractors) but most of these "download apps and get paid" mobile platforms are just scams that are paying even below minimum wage in places like india and it's all designed to scam children and the elderly into wasting their time watching ads.

as for games that have "economies" like crypto games or some niche MMOs they either have high withdrawal fees and caps to keep the money in their ecosystem or because of broken incentives they are not lucrative to play anymore. at the top of the crypto boom you could make above minimum wage of Philippines in some of these games using accounts from "sponsors" (people that had money to buy the underlying shitcoins) but it's no longer feasible.

as for grinding in MMOs and selling your loot or coins on an off game platform (which is definitely against the terms of service of the game) again it doesn't pay enough. it may be enough for someone in venezuela or rural china to farm MMO gold coins for 40$ a month but for someone living in the US it isn't enough. also you most likely can't sell it directly to players and have to use intermediary platforms which are run by borderline criminals and there's no guarantee they don't just steal all your funds and run.

as for my last point, the allure of playing video games for cash has captured the minds of everyone since at least the 90s (you mean i can have fun and get paid? sign me up!) but in reality it's one of the most mind numbing activities one can perform. aside from the sheer mental fortitude required to handle 8 hours of non stop clicking things, it'll hurt you physically. it can be mild like eye fatigue and back pain to worse conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and injury to the neck and the back alongside eye strain and worsening vision. it's a desk job where you have to focus at all times and you have to keep working to chase pennies.

I'm really sorry about your situation but it's simply just not feasible. look for other means of supporting yourself.

internationally syndicated btw some newspaper in isn'trael unironically prints these.

isn't buying power just how much cash he has in his robinhood account? cause if that's the case then it makes sense. he put in 3.5k in his account spend 3k and 10 timed his money overnight.

again if there's no due process just throw this whole chart out because as it turns out your status as a citizen can change based on the whims of the agent and after they deport you "oops out of our jurisdiction now". most americans don't care unless it happens to someone they care about because they look white and "no one would deport a white person we belong here"

it's the type of insular bullshit that like a mufti from bum'fuq egypt believes in but because of social media it gets spread between people and it just becomes fact at some point. it's the equivalent to all the deep state and Qanon nonsense evangelical christians in US believe in and how the pope is doing satanic child blood orgies in the basement of the vatican.

im biased because im Shia but generally Sunnis hate Shias more than Shias hate Sunnis. there has also been schools of revivalist thought since the decline of the gunpowder empires and rise of colonialism and imperialism in the 18th-19th century which in iran resulted in the clergy becoming revolutionary and in places like saudi arabia has resulted in new schools like wahhabism which insists on returning to the "True Islam" for islamic nations to return to their past glory.

they've spent most of the money a long time ago. since then they've been on the death spiral, in order to keep going they have made stretch goals ane ship packs that are increasing the scope, therefore increasing the budget, which they need money for, down the spiral they go.

i don't follow the game but my impression is that the huge amount of money they raised is shackling them to the wrong technical decisions they made many years ago. they can't start over otherwise that would be millions of donor money wasted. if this was a normal company they would've either cancelled the project or salvaged what they can and start over.

it also looks like most of the experienced people quit due to mismanagement and most of the staff are new hires. all i can say is i wouldn't wanna work on a project like that.
