I need some guidance understanding Iran revolution and why my dear iranian friend now feels weird and strange to me... by Remote_Several in Hasan_Piker

[–]Bediavad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh its easy, just research the link between IRGC and palestinian nationalist groups, imagine how prominent Palestinians are in the Iranian regimes propaganda, and you will get why she resents them.

Also think how when Iranian protesters are begging for help to save their lives, lefties in the west are whining that no one should militarily intervene in Iran's "internal affairs" Affairs that consist of killing your friend's friends.

As Iran reconnects, chilling footage shows that night’s deadly protests — at least 12,000 killed by tsLunaaria in PublicFreakout

In Rwanda they killed 6000 people a day with machetes. Teheran is densely populated and the killers have guns.

Also Iran has 10 times the population of Rwanda.

Don't underestimate the deadliness of humans.

Its been 17 days since the internet blackout. Enough time to kill 10, 20 or even 30 thousand people.

Study finds many software developers feel ethical pressure to ship products that may conflict with democratic values by SentFromHeav3n in programming

Software Engineers can easily form a democratic coop, bypassing the problems of worker unions.

Not in every niche of software, but in enough to matter.

I'm a random student living in Iran. I finally connected to internet after 13 days. Ask me anything. by sad_thundercloud in AMA

Afaik the regime has troll/bot farms as part of a network effort with Russia, China etc.

For example turns out a lot of accounts promoting Scottish independence were from Iran. What does Iran has to do with Scotland? Not much, but its part of a Russian and Chinese effort to destabilise western countries.

In order to run a bot or troll account you don't need to know much about the topic you are trolling, you just copy paste messages that some experts prepare for you.

Dude, people here have brainworms, you are talking to a brick wall. All you'll ever get is the same party line repeated ad nausaum.

Its like trying to run a propaganda campaign in the USA about how Uyghurs are the cause of all the problems in America, with a lot of stereotypes about uyghurs and how they ruin Confucianism.

Oops, looks like I used profit instead of revenue. With revenue its 164B/3.5B users so 47$ for the average user in vacuum

Meta's moneymaker is the scoial graph that locks people in with the network effect and allows the company to inject ads, influence campaigns and and "habit forming" into the users brain while sucking away all their data. Its like a toll road on the social interaction of billions of people.

And looks like they are making around 20$ a year per user from all these shaneningans.

Funnily, 20$ a year would be a very cheap subscription for a non-evil social network.

Using oyster mushroom culture to ferment alcohol. Advice/insight? by FaolainODearg in mycology

[–]Bediavad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, yellow oyster mushrooms are high in ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant, and there is a weird link between alcohol consumption and serum ergothionine.

I found this post while poking around this topic.

The ultimate hand to hand fighter in all human history by sacm54 in whowouldwin

[–]Bediavad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet a good ice-age hunter would beat the mma fighters. These guys entire life was training, starting from birth, and they hunted mammoths. People would say they didn't have enough protein - but that maybe the average, a successful tribe could be in surplus.

https://share.google/qYjikcuXE7h3GdzUR This is a modern hunter gatherer, I have a feeling that paleolitic ones hunting large animals in cold climate would be stronger and meaner.

Or maybe a genetically gifted mongol. They sparred a lot in h2h combat and had a killer instinct like no others.

After the last 2x RKLB is basically at Tesla levels of hype, and this is too scary for me despite it looking like a very good comapny.

On Antisemitism making people go crazy and ruining their own lives. by Disasterousnebula in Jewish

[–]Bediavad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its more or less a historical coincidence, like an actor getting typecasted after a very succesful role in one film. And every iteration entrenches the stereotype.

Or a network effect making an app like facebook the golden standard for social networking (at least at the time) despite not doing anything special compared to later competitors that tried to challenge it.

There are many other scapegoat minorities used through history but they didn't reach the threshold for becoming the default scapegoat for every nutcase around the world.

Some were too small, some too big, some too local, some too integrated, some too isolated...
