Coming back to America on the 17th

Anyone have any ideas on how to survive the days ahead?

I am planning to hit a mountain of books on graphics programming and game engines and game AI as well as learning Unreal Engine after building a PC.

Going to take up pipe smoking to increase focus.

 Mean while gonna think of ways to protect parents in the on coming days of deterioration and violence.

There are many issues I need to confront when I get back

You should be moving to Colombia or Philippines. That's what I would do if I had no job. Forsake your parents. It is more in your parents' genetic interests for YOU to reproduce than for your parents to be taken care of.

Being dutiful to your parents is a concept that is NOT foreign to Iranian/Persians. Time for me to stop being selfish
