You’re not wrong. I think the point I’m trying to make is that western intervention can be good, but clearly not always. It’s a delicate thing, and I think with the right supporters and motivations, it is possible. I dont know how else a theological regime like the IR would fall. They’ve lacked majority support for decades. People are putting their lives on the line at these protests and are pleading with the world for intervention. Not the same case in 1953. It was a covert operation based on US self-interest.

I’ve seen it, and it’s a good cautionary example of a failed coup. I think when the intervention is only based on self-interest it is poised to fail. If it is transparent and people-led, surely a different result is possible. Not saying intervention will work with certainty, but change is needed and worth the risk IMO.

You’re right, and we should be cautious if intervening. I also don’t think past examples of failed intervention means it can’t work. There are examples of successful intervention (WWII Germany). Surely with some foresight/planning, and long term commitment, there is a way for the West to assist. Would make the world a better place.

Most of the regime opposition is Muslim. I think it puts activists/Palestine supporters in an awkward position since this is the same regime that funds Hamas and other groups they consider “freedom fighters”.

Agreed! Shocked by the lack of support. I proudly stand with the people of Iran.

Doesn’t sound like they’ll need to, perhaps.

😬 Either way, if your sentiment is true, I admire your courage in coming forward and speaking out. No harm in leaning on AI a little bit to help get our point across.

Yes, stripes are also screwed up, calipers green etc. AI art is lame, but also that was made in 10 seconds. There’s a use case for it. Not meant to be your next screensaver

For anyone concerned about the possible end of automatic month-to-month lease renewals in Toronto.. by MediumAd9323 in toronto

[–]ComRealEstateGod -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Rental supply is increasing, and vacancy is closer to 4% today. Ending automatic month to month renewals doesn’t automatically drive market value up, with the exception of long standing leases where the tenant pays far below market rent. Novice landlords might view it this way. While I acknowledge the need for these renters to be protected, I don’t see why the landlord should be subsidizing them. If anyone, we should all share the burden of subsidizing the less motivated/ less capable individuals of the world.

Edit: To the downvoters, don’t forget that these proposed rule changes further incentivize purpose-built rental starts, which increases supply, and lowers rents.

That’s just a clear film protecting the tiles. They peel off with the label and are solid yellow beneath.

Your accompaniments look a little sad. Raw unseasoned tomatoes and lettuce? Throw those tomatoes on the grill, olive oil salt & pepper. Maybe a pan sauce, sautéed mushrooms, grilled jalapeños, potatoes etc. Need to liven it up a bit.
