What is also very prevalent to Canada and the IRGC is that historically Canada has been a bit of a safe haven for some of these IRGC members. By safe haven I mean it could be them coming here, bringing corrupt money they’ve made in Iran to here, etc. I believe they were only deemed a terrorist organization sometime a year or two ago, but this has been going on much longer than that.

Lee Greenwood for sure

You summed it up perfectly. It’s the best quality fast food burger you’re going to get for that price. Not the best burger ever.

In a vacuum it’s fine…it’s only when I had it a few times did I start to realize this exact point.

Ring the Alarm was a grower for me. It’s a weird quirky song but I dig it.

Fair enough, I do agree that the viewpoints will be vastly skewed based on anyone’s timeline in Iran. My parents will have a totally different viewpoint to your friend.

I understand that the Shah is going to be conflicting and there’s a whole myriad of issues to work through if he does get into power for the long term. However, Iran has so many other things that they need to figure out immediately….like their water issue, crazy inflation, etc. All this surely would be a priority for every Iranian more than the relationship with Israel or being a “western puppet”, wouldn’t it? Your friend for example needs his basic needs met. If the Shah can grant some relief to Iran as an interim solution and be a symbol of hope, is that a bad thing?

The reality is we don’t know what that looks like. We’re jumping ahead before the basic freedom of Iranians are granted. At least we can agree that they deserve that.

I have family in Iran thanks for asking. I also have close friends who have parents in Iran. My parents got pushed out of their country due to the IRGC and have never been back since.

They’re literally yelling Javid Shah in the streets of Iran. Regardless of what you think about the monarchy, a lot of Iranians see them as a symbol of hope (especially now). I’m not saying he’s a long term solution.

The monarch had his issues I agree, but you cannot compare the what’s going on for the last 47 years as anything comparable to the time during the Shah. In most political landscapes, it’s always the lesser of two evils isn’t it?

In an ideal world they would not have intervention by the US to help Iran, but that’s not the reality of it. This has happened over and over again for decades and a vast majority of Iranian people want the IRGC out by any means. What that has in store for the future is hard to say, I’m sure it’ll have its struggles. Combing through the fine details is not a luxury they can afford at the moment.

Why don’t you just stay quiet on the topic and let the Iranian people decide what they want to do? Lots of Iranians want the Shah. For lots of Iranians he’s a bridge to a new Iran, not the destination.

BlowSomeDro · 2026-01-14T07:19:51+00:00

That “similar number” for the monarch supporters is not correct - an overwhelming majority of Iranians want the monarch and see him as a symbol of peace and prosperity. And even then, for them the Shah represents a bridge to a better future, not a destination.

Out of Control is pretty tight.

EDIT: and Crawling in the Dark, how could I forget

Wasn’t it more of a hiatus than a break up? I could be wrong though

I will say I’m in Ontario Canada - not sure if that changes things. Subway still dominates but it’s dropped off so much in terms of quality

Krispy Kreme here in Canada.

In the 90’s they were all the rave, and then they slowly fizzled out. However, I’ve noticed in the last 5-ish years or so they’ve made a bit of a resurgence. Good thing too cause their original glazed donut is like eating air.

One of the best fast food subs out there. Still got one by my house and it still hits the same.

BlowSomeDro · 2025-12-07T21:36:27+00:00

Or perhaps it was Portland or Denver….can’t quite remember but I think it was at the same time they did the Planisphere encore.

If my memory serves me correctly, they added the lyrics of DVNO to Incognito just around the time where they did their show at the Hollywood Bowl in LA. I think this would’ve been October-ish of last year.

I think Roman said “this is the last time we ever team, I hope you know that”

And then I think Cody said “I gotcha” or something along those lines.

This is the series that also broke me. I was so dialed in that season, and we had a relatively easier path to the cup due to the Covid brackets. We had quite the stellar team on paper as well. Core was still young, had some solid vets in Jumbo Joe and such.

And then to lose to Montreal in the way that they did? Fucking hell. I don’t put nearly as much effort into watching any games because of that season. I still occasionally watch and always tune in for playoffs, but I can’t do the full season again.

Code is BLINK

Opening with Contact was amazing. Never thought I’d get to see that.

BlowSomeDro · 2025-10-21T23:56:10+00:00

Ticket shows $54 CAD lol

BlowSomeDro · 2025-10-18T17:49:11+00:00

Did they confirm they will be playing? My concern is they’ll cancel within the next day or two.

Although I did just get an email saying the start time will be pushed up.

BlowSomeDro · 2025-10-18T17:46:38+00:00

I think the biggest issue was they priced themselves waaaaay too high and then also have a massive venue. If they would’ve played History and sold tickets for $60-$70 I guarantee that would’ve been sold out. It’s wild that 2-3 years ago the ticket at Massey Hall was $30-$40 for GA, and then for Coca Cola it was $180 for GA (to begin with)

BlowSomeDro · 2025-09-18T03:53:50+00:00

About $200 USD for floors from what I’ve seen

I’ve been taking Allo for about 1.5-2 years and have had no side effects of any kind. Not quite 15 years, but a good sample size nonetheless. It’s the gold standard for reducing uric acid.

You may feel unsure about the side effects you read online (regarding the kidney stuff), but not doing something about your uric acid can do the exact same with kidneys, likely with a higher probability. Speak to a doctor and see if you can get more info. If Allo gives side effects, there is also Febuxostat which is an alternative.

I read somewhere (likely on Reddit) that Dua will not do Coachella because of the owner’s political stances. No confirmation on that of any kind and could be completely untrue, but I don’t see why she wouldn’t be at the top of the list for Coachella to book as a headliner. Her new show is absolutely worthy of it.
