Now I’ve been a LOT of dumb situations, but I think this is the dumbest While deployed to Afghanistan back in 2016/17, my company was the only unit in the Tarin Kowt region (bout an hour by air away from any other NATO units) We had a makeshift base setup where we lived so we could maintain a secure location in this area so NATO generals could advise the Afghan Army on how to fight the Taliban So we made a mini position within an Afghan army base who were 50/50 Taliban sympathetic (we knew this bc we listened to their unencrypted radio transmissions…. with the Taliban) And every few days a General would come through and we’d provide security for like a 6 hour PowerPoint presentation which we soon realized was just an excuse for the NATO generals to just sort of hang out and drink tea and eat chicken + rice. Overall dumb, but manageable…

man i have a lot of those "dumb moments" (and a lot more to come) but if i were to pick one, i'd pick my most recent one i made a lot of money trading last year (lost a bunch of it too but still kept some) and coming into january 2025 i was on a losing streak (still am), i'd lost all my profits, my reserves and more (in debt)-so i had a dumb idea moment "sell your laptop and use it to trade", which i did (unfortunately) i had just bought that pc 2 months ago to start my coding career for $1100 usd (1.8million naira as at then) so it was a lot of money. So i sold the pc (for about $800), paid off my debts(about $300), funded a majority of the rest ($400-$500) traded with it and during a span of 24 hours i made $5000 again and rebought my exact pc back from the store i sold it too, i was feeling like the king of the world. fast forward 1week later i had lost everything again, and had the same dumb idea, i did it again but this time it didnt go as planned
