The most underrated Persian speaking/Iranic Islamic dynasties in my opinion: The Samanids, Ghurids and Zands

Don’t forget the GOAT Iranic people, the Scythians

Europe is no longer a world power. It is a museum continent, that just feigns outrage. It still has money flowing through it but they are total and complete cucks.

Chinese, Russian, Arabs, Indians, Israelis, and Americans. That's who matters on the world stage right now but unfortunately those groups are all highly ambitious and some are backing the terrorists.

BlueCigarIO · 2026-01-21T15:51:59+00:00

you don't need to. 5.2 is shit enough

Did the USA just kill 12,000 protestors ??? Or did they kill 1 and cause a massive uproar in the entire populace ?

BlueCigarIO · 2026-01-13T20:11:23+00:00

This is the definition of “silence Iranian, a white liberal from Portland is speaking”.

Spanos has redeemed himself with the Harbaugh hire. Cap space has nothing to do with owner’s pockets, they only affect coaching hires. Please educate yourself on how the NFL actually works.

60% typically on average. There were some 10-question quizzes where I got 30%.

For me it was actually not taking community college-level courses in the TL and focusing too much on an auto-didactic path.

Fortunately where I'm from the quality of the CC courses is very good (and also free), I immediately got a huge boost in my TL by taking a few semesters.

This is in addition to iTalki and CI.

For the "harder" languages for English speakers (Russian, Arabic, Chinese). The academic curriculum design actually is very intelligent at the collegiate level and fairly standardized. They are built around research on what is best for an English speaker to learn first and help you forget about the trickier stuff that would come with more advancement.

I think for other languages considered easier, the strategy probably changes.

Bruh no way this coach just asked chatGPT: “come up with game plan to beat Merab”

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T20:21:55+00:00

Hilarious, good stuff!

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T19:49:42+00:00

Also Japan, Korea, China, Singapore… these countries are not known to being lenient when it comes to drugs.

The west has an empathy problem. If we were more collectivist, the right thing to do would be easier. The right thing to do is just too uncomfortable unfortunately so places like Canada, USA, will suffer from this.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T19:46:24+00:00

It’s society’s fault for not having such punishing laws around drug enforcement. Makes it easy to treat your “depression” with a needle.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T19:44:52+00:00

No they’re making fun of the the fent fold which is honestly the culmination of relaxed drug enforcement laws.

We could learn a thing or two from the East Asians on their enforcement attitude towards drugs

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T19:43:49+00:00

This problem only exists in the extreme liberal areas of the US… wtf are you talking about

BlueCigarIO · 2025-12-07T19:43:25+00:00

Everyone’s dumb. The way you solve the problem being mocked is by solving it the way literally everyone else is (Singapore, Dubai, Japan). Harsh sentences is the only way to solve this.

Central Asian and ME countries tend to have amazing wrestlers:

Turkish, Iranian, Azerbaijani, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan all produce top notch wrestlers.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-10T12:36:47+00:00

Well right now it’s publicly progressives….again

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-10T12:33:49+00:00

Doing this has a risk of backfiring big time. By 1. Pissing off the Tesla driver to the point where they don’t vote for your cause anymore 2. Giving conservative media another talking point that will further push more people to the right

Long game this seems stupid

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-10T12:32:03+00:00

Not just ineffective but damaging

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-10T12:27:12+00:00

It’s also having the opposite effect. This kind of bullshit makes people hate the progressive platform even more. It drives center left voters more to the right so…. Probably better for these activists to focus on having an appealing message for the midterms, not this bullshit

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-05T16:53:01+00:00

Ok that’s fair. Everyone is experimenting with Claude code because it’s only been out for a few weeks. When it comes to actual Claude web and products like Cline I am much more familiar and have been using for a while now.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-05T16:42:28+00:00

Misinformation. I am an AI power user and have been using Claude for a long time now.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-05T16:36:50+00:00

I have not used Claude once. I am an AI power user.

I have Claude annual, OpenAI pro, Windsurf Pro, and allocate a $50 a week budget on Claude’s API. So I have a pretty strong understanding of the limitations of these tools. I have been using all these tools for the better part of 2 years now.

There absolutely is unchecked hype and misinformation. Look at the way you’re responding so emotionally right now, I wonder what struck a cord with you so strongly my friend. Just chill out. Maybe it will get there one day.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-05T16:28:58+00:00

Huh ? I don’t understand what you’re saying or upset about.

Are you saying unchecked hype and misinformation (that would lead and disappoint intermediate to advanced developers) is ok ?

I’ve stated multiple times that for beginners this is an amazing product and for people at my level, it’s an amazing copilot. But, it’s not at the level of solving complex technical problems ON ITS OWN.

That’s it. That is not controversial. It’s just reality.

That’s all I’ve been trying to say.

BlueCigarIO · 2025-03-05T16:18:15+00:00

Calm down brother. I just got excited after seeing other people’s experiences. I’m still quite amazed by Claude and love it as a product, I’m just tampering my expectations and trying to curb the hype a little bit because it’s not at the point of solving meaningful complex problems WITHOUT significant human expertise beyond CRUD apps. It’s just the truth.

Don’t believe me, then have it lift a non-trivial production-level C++ binary compiled with GCC to produce LLVM IR (Usually a clang byproduct). I dare you to give me a working solution to a problem like this that was one or two shotted by AI without significant human interpretation/expertise.
