GUIDE TO STOICISM: ACTIONABLE ADVICE
Stoicism is one of the ancient philosophies which has been popularised on the internet. We all have probably seen videos on Stoicism whether that be of Ryan Holiday on the good side or the Sigma Grindset Stoic Memes on reels. This by no means is the best philosophy but it is probably the most applicable for the most amount of people. But with all the things on the internet this is one of the things which gets lost in explanation or used by bad faith people using it to propagate their own agendas. So this is my Guide as well as my Understanding of this Philosophy
WHO IS IT FOR?
This guide is for anyone who is interested in Stoic philosophy. By the end of it you would have a basic guide for Stoicism and you would have different resources from where you can learn more about it.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:
I would not consider myself a stoic but stoicism is one of the frameworks which I have in my mind and I use it when I feel necessary. I use these ideas to help me, calm me and give me a different perspective in day to day life.
ACTIONABLE IDEAS:

1. Dichotomy of Control: This is one of the things which can be found in a lot of philosophies, and for a good reason as well. Control is one thing which we all like, control over our life, control over what happens to us, but according to stoic we only have control over our mind, as our surroundings can change, our bodies can deteriorate but our mind is always there and always under control. Now this would be different if you suffer from some diseases. So It could be better said as control over your judgments of events.
2. Embody Ideals: This has been said by stoics in different ways, whether that be Marcus Aurelius: Waste no time arguing what a good man should be, Be one, or Epictetus: Don’t Explain your philosophy Embody it. We see that a lot of time we waste our time thinking what is right, what is wrong, what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, but if we are honest with each other we do know what we ought to do and what are our values, if you don’t introspect but don’t debate too much and try to embody that and see what happens.
3. View from Above: This can be explained in a gaming term where in games like assassin's creed, recent games you have the eagle eye in which you can use an eagle to see the big picture from above and strategize. The same can be applied in life, where sometimes when we are in the thick of things, our vision narrows and we feel hopeless, overwhelmed so in those situations detach for a bit see the whole picture and strategize accordingly.
4. Relation with Death: Death is also one of the things we see a lot in different philosophies and it is one of the things which we can be absolutely certain of. Death is the final destination for us and you need to build a healthy relation with death and you need to keep death as a way of keeping things in perspective.

RESOURCES:

1. Ryan Holiday Books: Obstacle is the Way, Courage is Calling, Daily Stoic
2. Meditations: Marcus Aurelius
3. Discourses and Selected Writings: Epictetus

SUMMARY:
Develop Different perspectives of events by using death and view from above, realise what is in your control and embody the ideals you want to be associated with.
This is what I use as frameworks in life and it has helped me calm down and gain perspective and I really felt improvement in my life. If you have any problems in your life comment and I would make a guide on that, If you have any review on the way I write I would be pleased to hear. Thanks.

Making a new club tryna play right now so drop ur psn below if interested

I start by saying that my country isn't officially supported but I had a strong interest in wanting to play the game and I had to figured out workaround to make a service account, I did it by entering an address of a supported country, I didn't think much of it since I started as a Free Trial players but in hindsight I should have been more careful with which address I chose.
I played for several month before deciding to finally become a paid player and made my second mistake of choosing an Entry subscription instead of a Standard one (I'll come back to this later) I Made new friends, overcome odds and experience a truly life changing story but now all that have come to an end.
The new payment processor means that I can't renew my subscription since my service account address and my card address isn't the same, so I'm locked out from my character which I worked so hard to develop, now some of you might say "Why not use a Game Timecard?" Well, this is where the decision to use an entry subscription come to bite me. You can't use a Game Timecard if your current subscription is an entry, you need a standard subscription. I can't upgrade to standard because Mogstation refuses to accept my card.
FFXIV is one of the greatest games I have ever played but I can't support Square Enix outdated business model of locking out an entire region from ever playing it, that is all. My story ends here but I hope you all will continue it, my fellow Warrior of Light!

The origin of the Ecoracles can be traced back to a planet called Earth. Earth was a small, beautiful planet, adorned with lush forests, vast oceans, and towering mountains. The humans that inhabited the planet reigned for thousands of years. Their advancement in technology was truly impressive, however, with their great power came great irresponsibility.
As fascinating as their technology was, many of their practices were slowly deteriorating their planet. The sky, once a clear, bright blue, turned a dull gray from pollution. Rivers, once teeming with life, flowed with hazardous toxins. Forests were cut down to make way for sprawling cities and factories. Despite the growing evidence of their harm, humans continued on their path, driven by a desire for convenience and profit.
Over the years, a plethora of movements rose and fell, each striving to combat the pollution of Earth. Passionate individuals gathered in protest, scientists presented alarming data, and environmentalists pleaded for change. But their messages often fell on deaf ears. Those in power were more concerned with their own wealth and influence than the well-being of the planet.
Among these movements was a small, obscure organization called Ecoracle. They were thought of as a quaint bunch. The leaders of Ecoracle claimed they could communicate with nature itself. Each of them said they had a specific aspect of nature they communicated with. Some spoke to the trees, others conversed with the rivers, there were those who spoke to the clouds.
The Ecoracles sought to be the bridge between humans and the natural world. However, their message, like so many others before them, did not bring forth the change they desired. The leaders and influencers of society dismissed the Ecoracles as eccentrics. They had no interest in what the Ecoracles or any other movement had to say, only focused on producing profits for themselves by any means necessary. Factories continued to belch smoke into the air, rivers continued to be polluted, and forests continued to fall.
It was only when Earth was near the end of its lifespan that those with power were ready to hear what the Ecoracles and many like them had to say. But it was too late by then; the harm they had done to Earth was irreversible. The once-vibrant planet was now on the brink of collapse.
All hope appeared to be lost, but the drive of the human spirit should never be underestimated. As if it were a miracle, humans attained interstellar travel. They created massive spacecrafts that could carry a country’s worth of people at once. These spacecrafts were equipped with everything necessary to sustain life for generations. They became floating worlds, homes for humans and animals alike.
Humans and animals boarded these spacecrafts, leaving the dying Earth behind. Generations upon countless generations lived their entire lives aboard these vessels, drifting through the vast expanse of space in search of a new home.
One of the few things that remained constant were the Ecoracles. They continued to spread their teachings, emphasizing the importance of living in harmony with nature, respecting the balance of ecosystems, and cherishing the resources they had.
Life on the spacecrafts was a difficult challenge, but humanity adapted. Gardens flourished under artificial lights, animals roamed in carefully designed habitats, and communities formed. The Ecoracles played a crucial role, guiding the people in sustainable practices and fostering a deep connection with the environment, even in the artificial confines of the spacecrafts.
After an immeasurable amount of time, they finally reached their destination: a habitable planet outside of their solar system. The planet was a lush, vibrant world, teeming with life. As they began to cultivate this new planet, the teachings of the Ecoracles had become so ingrained into their culture that it was second nature to them.
The people of this planet worked diligently to build a society that lived in harmony with nature. They built homes that blended seamlessly into the landscape, cultivated crops using sustainable methods, and ensured that the natural habitats of animals were preserved. They used their advanced technology not to dominate the environment, but to protect and enhance it.
The memory of Earth had been lost, but the newest inhabitants of this planet knew that they mustn’t pollute the place they called home. The lessons of the Ecoracles had now become a core part of the humans.
Eventually, humans' interstellar travel capabilities evolved to the point where they could traverse beyond their galaxy and find habitable planets within a single lifetime. No matter where they went, their objective remained the same, to populate planets while preserving nature.
At this point, the term "Ecoracle" had grown beyond its original meaning. It now referred to someone possessing supernatural abilities that allowed them to harness the power of nature itself. These new Ecoracles could communicate with the elements, each specializing in a different aspect of nature. They were revered and respected, seen as the protectors of balance and harmony in every new world they settled.
Alongside the emergence of the recent rendition of Ecoracles, came strange creatures that began to appear. These beings couldn't be explained through natural means. They were not animals, but more akin to supernatural entities that embodied specific aspects of nature. Some were beautiful and awe-inspiring. Others were grotesque and malevolent.
These malevolent beings sought to pollute and destroy everything humans and Ecoracles fought so hard to protect. They could poison rivers, wither crops, and deteriorate forests with a mere touch. Their existence posed a grave threat to the universe if they went unchecked.
The Ecoracles took it upon themselves to protect their new homes from these malicious beings. They formed a dedicated order, trained to combat their forces that threatened to destroy everything.
These destructive beings were too powerful for normal humans to handle. Only Ecoracles, equipped with abilities specifically attuned to combating these entities, had any hope of defeating them. Their unique set of powers made them the only ones capable of facing the supernatural threats head-on.
They served as a constant reminder of what could happen if humans were reckless with their new homes. However, humanity possessed something greater: their ability to adapt and rise above any challenge. This resilience was their greatest strength, a trait that had allowed them to survive and thrive, even after the pollution of Earth.
Some speculated that the sudden emergence of supernatural beings was born from the universe itself. The idea that the universe had sentience seemed absurd, but it was the only conclusion that could somewhat be rationalized.
Through humanity’s spirit and determination to defend their new homes, it seemed as if the universe had manifested a way to communicate with them. This theory suggested that the Ecoracles, with their burning desire to protect the universe, were bestowed their powers.
The Ecoracles are regarded as heroes, figures of immense admiration and respect. They have become legends, their deeds immortalized in the Tales of the Ecoracles. These tales are shared across generations as a source of inspiration and guidance for all. The stories are not just about their supernatural powers, but also about their bravery, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to preserving the balance of nature.

[M4A/F] Long-Term Cyberpunk Fantasy Roleplay
What's up, chooms? (Epic reference)
My name is Outcast/Necromes. Before we start off, let me just say a bit about me. I am a 22 year old male with 10+ years of writing experience within literate to novella writing style. I do a lot. I'm in a lot of fandoms and a lot of genres so I'm very flexible with things and setting but I am here more importantly to pitch a Cyberpunk Fantasy roleplay. Now what I mean by that is D&D + Cyberpunk. Shadowrun, that one kickass episode of Teen Titans Go for example. (The Night Begins To Shine will forever be in our heads and you cannot tell me otherwise.)
For about half a year I've been wanting to get into Shadowrun, which is a very niche TTRPG but I haven't the friends nor the book (yet), and I am itching to use one of my ocs I made for it.
Disclaimer: We don't need to do Shadowrun. If you know nothing about it I totally get it, we can just context the roleplay as simply Fantasy but Cyberpunk dystopia future. Cities, corporations, mercenaries and criminals biting back against the big corpos. Cyberpunk 2077 with elf ears or D&D with tons of neon.
I currently have two really eager ocs I would like to use, let me tell you about them.

• Jaksen "Reload" Kovachs - A young Orc who comes from a family who run a mercenary business. Usually lawful, they would undertake heavy heists and jobs for money in turn to keep business up. Jaksen, the youngest of three brothers, had to endure the loss of all three of his brothers getting slaughtered on live camera footage for breaking into a corporate building for a heist, costing them their lives. Jaksen, now feeling the weight of their death on his soul and his financial stability becomes a freelance mercenary operating in the underground, fixed with two fully cybernetic arms and dual pistols, he intends on taking on the underground himself. Hes ambitious but a little hotheaded. Skills learned from his life in a family of mercenaries, hes way in over his head and acts like a skilled and promising rookie with a patience and hotheaded issue that seems charming and ambitious in some ways but can make him an interesting liability as a toughguy at times.
  
• Levin (Levi) "Ghost-Rider" Remo - A rockabilly punk slum street mechanic who's family works as illegal scrappers. Levi from a young age showed tons of mechanical engineering prowess making him a prodigy and genius. Living in the slums would get him nowhere. To survive, his family would sneak into corporate warehouses and steal illegal parts to where Levi would take the parts for himself and begin building a militarized hover-bike that would land him on many lists. A genius and prodigy as stated, he scratched off any existence of his in the system and effectively became a personal mechanic / merc runner. Hes eccentric, hes cocky, hes funny. Hes got the brains and charisma to throw off certain people and the skills to weaponize anything or turn into one hell of a distraction.
  

I have two, maybe three more ideas and until I recieve the Shadowrun 6e book I'll likely be making more with the proper systems.
When it comes to plot we can do anything. I for one imagine a few of these:
(Note: The setting doesn't matter too much.)
Jaksen "Reload" Kovachs

• We start at a club, where Jaksen delivers a dufflebag of whatever we can discuss. This can lead to enforcement turning into a firefight and they must escape or its a bust and he runs with his temporary partner (your oc) or runs INTO a bystander and he must keep them out of danger (also your oc).
  
• A deal set to meet a warlord of the streets and Jaksen is forced to team up with someone new for robbing a smaller corporate building. We can discuss what the job is exactly.
  
• An assassin sent after the Orc Marksman, a kind of spy thriller that could lead to some more. Sloppy Orc doesn't watch his back too much.
  
• We can create a plot from start together!
  

Levi "Ghostrider" Remo

• Between you and I, I don't have any plot ideas. Maybe I'll edit this later.

Note: I am looking for a long-term relaxed and chill roleplay experience. I have immense ADHD and Autism and get burnt out very quickly and I'd rather take my time to create the best RP response I can muster up than be forced or egged on post after post with no energy. As long as you are okay with varying response window times and are okay with the quality in the end and also have time to chill and talk about OCs on the offtime or on the side then that is perfect.

I apologize for my lack of planning. Planning and gushing is honestly half the fun and I've been desperate. If you're down for any of this, give me a private message. I primarily use Discord. I hope I've peaked your interest!

im going to be a transfer from community and i can't decide! i've visited both and really like both campuses and the vibes.
i've been pretty heavily involved in school/academics for a while but i don't want to be hardcore in it and i feel like that's how berkeley is... is that true for UCLA too?
im also interested in exploring more creative things like film/videography and music/audio in general. im also interested in doing things like the radio station and other fun stuff. my thoughts are that ucla would be better for those things, but if someone could give me some insight that'd be really helpful.
lastly housing costs is an issue but it will be at both campuses. if there's any insight there as well pls comment!
tbh im leaning more to ucla, but if there's anything you can add to make me more sure of my decision let me know. or if there's any cons i should consider!

Send me a message if you want to talk😊

I personally think that skinlines semi-religious anti-infernal and seemingly arcane sort of theme seems a lot more interesting than the current infernal skins we have, which imo desperately need a revamp.
So I decided to make a 3 champ group of poll choices with the condition of having no champs who already have a skin this year.
What do you prefer out of these?
View Poll

Looking to make new friends anywhere in the USA, girls or guys, honestly anyone above 18 and under 39, someone who can hold a conversation, messaging or voice chat either works with me, I also love to debate, hmu if you're interested in being friends (let me know if you wanna chat or voice chat) and your age and where you're from and where you'd like to vc.

Interested in a CPO Integra - drove both trims and on the short drive I believe I noticed the A Spec Tech handled bumps better.
Anyone with a base 23/24 speak to long term ride quality? Would love to save a few bucks with the base, as I think the A Spec Tech would be out of my range - but want to make sure the ride isn’t too bouncy in the Base.
Coming from a 2017 GTI that’s been riding a bit harsh lately.

Tldr: How do I emotionally move on from my relationship with my husband without actually getting divorced? He doesn't love me anymore but divorce is not possible.
I (36F) and my husband (46M) have been together almost 14 years, married for almost 10. We have 2 children, daughter (3F) and baby(2weeksM). I'm currently about 2 weeks postpartum.
To sum up our issues: He has a mental illness that he says makes it basically impossible for him to enjoy life (that's his lived experience, I know things are different for others). I want him to be more interested in our relationship, i.e. hanging out, activities together, more sex, etc, but for years and years I've communicated this and nothing has improved. Last year he told me he has no romantic feelings for me anymore, but later told me it was said during a mental health crisis and he didn't really mean it.
During my recent pregnancy he started telling me that he never actually wanted kids, he didn't want to be a parent, and he wants to go live by himself. He swears he will not actually leave - he just doesn't want the responsibility of parenting, he wants to engage in his hobbies and not be bothered. At the time of trying to get pregnant my husband said he did want kids, my pregnancies were not accidents. He now says he resents me for having kids.
I just had our second baby and almost immediately postpartum I developed a life threatening complication that landed me in the hospital for 5 additional days. It was terrifying and I actually almost died. My husband spent my hospital stay broadcasting his annoyance with being there, sleeping, making me repeatedly ask and beg for assistance with baby, and finally yelling at me when I communicated how neglected I was feeling.
The way he treated me in hospital is the final straw. I wouldn't treat someone I barely even liked the way he treated me. My husband didn't even hug or kiss me, rub my back, no physical affection. I kept asking him to come sit with me and he wouldn't even do that, he stayed in the far corner of the room 90% of the time.
My husband acts like he does not love me and I'm convinced he doesn't. Love is something you do, and he doesn't do it for me.
Now here's where I need advice. We cannot get divorced. Neither of us could afford our home without the second income. Our property is too important for me to sell (being vague to protect my privacy) due to income reasons. It would harm both of us and our children, really badly, if we split up the household. It's not an option. Our house is small but feasibly we can sleep separately and usually do anyway.
How do I emotionally separate myself from my husband? I need to stop wanting his scraps of affection and attention, stop hoping he'll change. He isn't abusive, just neglectful, so I don't need to get divorced. How do I mentally and emotionally move on from my marriage without physically/legally ending it? I want to feel only lukewarm towards him, one co parent to another. Roommates.

Background probably no one cares about: I'm an older fellow, haven't sewn or used a machine in 40 years. I spent my life collection "destination t-shirts" from everywhere we visited. About 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Leukemia and an intersection secondary issue which had a regrettable side-effect of causing weeping patches all over my body and heavily on my back. I'm much MUCH better now, but I'm left with a lot of favorite t-shirts that are permanently stained with bloody patches on the backs. To salvage them, I was thinking of cutting out the front of the shirts and saving the destination logos and images and sewing a border on them so they will not fray. They would make handy eyeglass cloths, etc.
The question:
So if I had a bunch of squares of t-shirt material that I did not want to fray, what sems style should I learn to do? Happy to get a machine to do it with if necessary. I just don't even know what to look for. Simple edging, flexible enough to stretch a bit.
Any help appreciated so I can salvage some memories.

Hi,
I was very lucky to get the opportunity to transfer to UChicago given I maintain solid academic standing in my first year of college (provisional transfer offer). I will be heading to Purdue this fall barring any waitlist surprises. Now before I start, what I’m about to say is assuming I do achieve a 3.5+ GPA in my freshman year. Also, thanks to my parents, cost is a nonissue.
I think Purdue CS is great. They host huge career fairs and have strong tech industry connections, which may make finding internships a tad easier. Furthermore, they have strong research in AI/ML’s application in aviation, which is a field of research I’ve been pursuing for a year. I’ve found a few clubs I’m interested in joining and I feel that I have a lot of flexibility to pursue my programming passions (starting competitive programming, low-level game dev, creating simulations, etc.) However, the school is in the middle of nowhere, and I like a city environment. Furthermore, I don’t know much about their math and physics programs, and any to double major in one of these.
On the other hand, I haven’t heard a whole lot about UChicagos CS program. I assume it’s pretty theory based (which I’d probably prefer) because of the stronger math department, but UChicago doesn’t have a great deal of industry connections. Now I know this isn’t really an issue since the onus is mostly on the student to apply, but I’ve also heard there isn’t really a very strong CS culture at UChicago, which is a bit of a put off. However, I’m also really interested in math and physics, and UChicago excels in these fields. If I attend I would probably try to double major in physics or math. Quantum computing is something I haven’t really explored much but I find it fascinating , and UChicago is world renowned for this field. Furthermore, Chicago in general is a very happening city, while Purdue is in the middle of nowhere.
Any advice for my future self who gets above a 3.5? Much appreciated.

Me and this guy work together at an amusement park in the concession stands. I’ve been working there for now three years but I started to develop feelings for him in my second year. Most of the people talk to me there but this guy seems to really enjoy me talking to him. He alknowledges my presence when he sees me and he’s very polite and kind when he talks to me. Last week, he offered me to sit next to him at a table because all the seats were taken up and we talked about a game we both share and made me feel better. The previous year, he gave me a ride home when I was fighting with a family member. I feared it would be awkward and completely silent, but the entire time, we talked about our lives, what we wanted in life, and overall was an amazing ride together. Anytime we talk we just talk and it feels really nice. And despite him having friends around him who he also talks to, he seems to want to talk to me which makes me wonder if he has at least a little interest in me. But he’s also a gentleman so I don’t know if he has an interest in me like I have for him or if he’s just being polite because I’m a little awkward. So any advice?

Hi! I’m looking to talk to new people and hopefully make some genuine friends on here!
I’m 26, and from Scotland, UK
My hobbies include true crime/history, I am a MASSIVE horror fan and I love everything creepy/scary. I watch/play football and I like gaming whenever I have the spare time.
I love being outside, keeping fit/active, finding places to explore and spending time with my dog(always happy to receive pet photos too)
I also have a lot of tattoos and love to see other people’s work! (Always looking for ideas to add to my own collection too)
I’m down to talk about just about anything, I like hearing about other people’s interests and hobbies, or even just answering questions.
Send me a message if you want to talk😊

Hi, 26F here and my husband is 26M. No kids. Trigger warning for details of verbal/threats of physical abuse. We've been married since we were 22. I'm posting partly because I feel like I need solidarity/confirmation that it's as bad as it feels.
I've been reading online about abuse and I see a lot of posts about frequent, repetitive instances of abuse. My situation isn't quite like that, but rather he has now had two instances of "blowing up" where he "gets pushed over the edge" (his words, definitely reversing the blame there) and will go on for hours where he's yelling at me, calling me names, and generally demeaning and insulting me personally. It's pretty traumatic and I basically just disassociate and wait for him to be done. I never name call or yell back.
The first time it happened, it was in response to something I did. Basically I shared some details about our relationship with a friend, and he found out. He had asked me before to keep our business between him and I, so he felt very disrespected. I did later apologize for this, I can understand that not everyone needs to know our details and I am okay with respecting this ask, I just slipped up. This disrespect sent him over the edge and he spent somewhere from 1-2 hours straight yelling at me, repeatedly calling me a stupid b*tch and c*nt, and he went through in detail all the things he hates about my personality- insulting my hobbies and interests and so on. Just all around attacks on me and my character. While it was happening I had it fixed in my mind to leave, because obviously he didn't like me very much anymore and also name-calling was something I had previously set as a hard boundary. However, after things calmed down of course it's hard to walk away. He eventually apologized, reflected on his behavior and said it wouldn't happen again.
The second time it happened it was about 6 months later. This time I didn't do anything wrong per se. I had a moment of jealousy: I thought he was getting a little too friendly/flirty with another girl at the bar, and I told him my feelings were hurt about it. He denied and denied and denied, and eventually left me at the bar. I was pissed at being abandoned, and I walked home alone, and when I got home I tried to explain to him why it was so hurtful to me. At some point again something in him snapped. He let himself call me a b*tch and from there it just spirals, calling me every name possible, he tells me to go f*ck somebody new, "leave me I don't even care," and worst of all he repeatedly threatened s*ic*de. It was horrible. Again this lasted for over an hour. Oh and also this time he punched a countertop, a door, and I had been packing for a trip and he threw my open suitcase across the room and threw my clothes across the room. At one point I also got in his way and he did make physical contact with me- I don't think he was trying to hit me but ya know does it really matter lol. Also we have pets and he had no regard for what happened to them in this moment. After he fell asleep I had the pets all packed up and everything to get the heck out of there, but the threats of harm and the fear of being alone and confronting the situation stopped me. I stayed.
A few hours after that he came to me and instead of apologizing he said "there's no justification for my actions but also I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't pushed to my very breaking point" right right
Then a few days later he finally texted me and said "there's no excuse or justification for my actions. can you help me find a therapist?" I want to believe he is serious about changing but there's just so much negative stuff that I feel myself just sort of checking out.
Outside of the outright abuse, the pattern in our relationship recently is that whenever I have an issue and try to bring it up, he denies, and then attacks me in some way by saying I'm too sensitive, and then will use that as a chance to go on long monologues about all the problems I cause in the relationship and the problems I have. I've voiced this to him but he keeps doing it. So I also feel like my issues don't matter and that I'm expected to just sit pretty and be happy.
It's sort of like, though, that I see the "abuse" version of him as somebody else, not his true self, and I just let myself forget it and keep going and hope it doesn't happen again. He was abused and has other issues, and I really do just feel bad for him. Because I can see him become embarrassed with the way he acts and I can't imagine feeling that level of shame/remorse. I don't want my guy to feel that way so I tell myself if I love him through it then he doesn't have to feel that way. IDK and when I think about leaving I can't help but think about pissing off his family. I'm SO scared of what people will think of me. Can I be happy in this situation again? Can he love me and also treat me like this? Does it matter that it's only happened 2 times? I know nobody can answer these questions for me but any insight is appreciated.

I have been opening businesses here in the UAE with local partners for a decade. I have had with each instance have been put in a situation where I have done all the work, and won some of the top international accolades (some that are household names and common knowledge major awards) in my market and have had my businesses stripped away from me for outrageous reasons and events. I have also gone to jail twice- both without warning because of a corrupt lawyer who pretended be my legal council to only find out post jail through new legal council that I had lost my cases for not having representation and making a mockery of the court system when I only knew that I had paid and hired legal council with power of attorney- all the while my lawyer feeding me fake progress and fake proceedings. I was also dragged to jail after reporting a local to a very obvious crime to the AD police only to find my case was somehow deleted and the local I filed a case against literally filed the identical case against me as an act of revenge. WIth the same laywer I also lost a case with a collaborator who sued me for an insane amount for not doing something that wasn't even in our contract - nor even in the same field or category of my company. This was also a revenge case for my firm discontinuing this contract for extended non payment and non response. I was told by my attorney that this case should simply be thrown out but again lost this case with a greatly lowered fine. Reason for the judgement was again for not having legal representation and like before the judge noted that I made a mockery of the judicial system.
In my most recent projects, I had opened a string of critically acclaimed outlets in my business category that I again, lost and this time with my name dragged in the gutter due to these cases and a total loss of my businesses and contracts. It has been a nightmarish few years in what should have been the highlight of my company and my lifes work with our projects being considered the top of its class at the same time with incredible accomplishments which has made me wish I could trade it in for simply a moment of normalcy where myself and my family are not constantly living in fear that I may somehow lose something or end up again in jail and this time perhaps for a very long time. I am now in place where I have mounting warrants and unable to find legal representation to clear my name of any wrong doing. Poorly equipped with what has now become almost little to zero resources to do so. Are there any entities or social agencies that exist to assist in these cases of incredible corruption and violations of legal ethics? I find it so very agonizing that in a country with such strict laws about defamation and social emphasis on equality that I am knee deep in not one but many cases of constantly on the receiving end of what this culture decries in its public identity.
This all started when the lawyer of subject enquired if one of my business partners, a very large developer, would be interested in taking over a land lease owned by one of his other clients, a member of the royal family. A very big and unlikely transaction but it quickly came to look like the deal would go through. This is when he approached me to create a plan to take a percentage of the transaction - to which I immediately expressed that I wanted no part of. This was the moment where he intentionally created the illusion that he was still representing me as my attorney to only purposely organize the lose verdicts of my cases. As an expat who has depleted all of my resources, I have fought hard to continue my company and life here while attempting to find some tiny morsel of justice, but I find myself now having lost both my company and seemingly any chance to stop the avalanche of legal debts, travel bans and warrants that I can do nothing about.
My second legal council made a very simple but dubious error in understand the language of a simple legal procedure that has again landed me in deep trouble, this time not for neglect but simply my luck of choosing a very unskilled lawyer, who after it was apparent they had made a massive error, simply blocked me from reaching them and basically resigned in an instance after taking all of their fees.
Feeling quite imprisoned while having accomplished so much for this city. If there is anyone with real advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I can't comfirm or deny the validity of the Rhaena leak but with the show timeline of eight episodes and the sowing allegedly starting in episode 7 coupled with the fact that we don't see Rhaena at the feast table with all the other new team Black dragonriders, I don't think this makes sense. They may have just save Nettles for next season with the battle of the Gullet being postponed. At best Rhaena tries and fails but I doubt that she's chasing after a hungry dragon when she can just go to Dragonstone where he lives when he's not hunting.
