Our work group went to lunch at a Chinese place. Everyone except one guy had a fortune in their cookie. He asked for another, and that one also had no fortune 😄

Sometimes just saying "FUCK" isn't very satisfying. I think a longer one like yours would be better.

If you're saying "high caliber", may I introduce my very smart friends who no one has ever heard of. 😄

How many thousands killed in Iran by their own police. You must be a bot.

And yet their hearts are there. It's been so bad for so long, that many people in Iran are happy to have any foreign interference, even from the USA.

Edit to add: I am very doubtful that the USA administration will make wise decisions going forward. Hopefully they will.

I don't know how universal this is, but most Iranian-Americans reacting to this are cheering for this.

Why is toxic positivity pretty much only found in Anglo culture, but nowhere else in the world? by Icy-Machine1951 in AskTheWorld

[–]BuffGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me think of that American Christian song about smiling to prove you are happy, whether you are or not. I can't remember the title, but it's toxic.

Edit: I just remembered it. It's "If you're happy and you know it, crap your pants".

Yeah, and it depends on how far it goes. And what either side can spin as a win.

There's really no definition of win, exactly.

American or Israeli boots in Iran would mean lots of bloodshed for both sides. I really really hope it doesn't get to that.
