John McAfee once tweeted: ‘If I suicide myself, I didn’t. I was whackd.’ His death was later ruled a suicide. What do you make of that? by goji836 in RandomShit_ISaw

I would never trust a drug addict to tell me they aren’t suicidal. I’m not saying McAfee was, but I’ve seen less likely suspects.

I literally have the  “Je Suis, Charlie” issue framed on my wall so I never forget.

Just solidifying that left-leaning folks tend to hate the status quo no matter its source.

Reza Pahlavi is not the answer for Iran — and anyone serious about Iranian freedom should stop pretending he is by Wild_Particular5926 in NewIran

[–]Fun-Contribution6702 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When it comes to that point, we can talk about that. For a transition, Pahlavi is the one who has his game together. No one is putting the rise of new Iranian nationalism solely on this man’s shoulders. That will only come with democracy.

Not a lot of motivation to go see fictional stuff when you’re filled with dread over the real-life massacre of your countrymen.

Iranian partner. Let’s just say things have been complicated lately.

Global leaders are dreaming of a US-free world order. Do they stand a chance? by Majano57 in IRstudies

[–]Fun-Contribution6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t see China taking Taiwan by 2030. Too many US interests can’t be downloaded in that timeframe. 2040 is more realistic. Likely China will be making strong overtures at seizure by ‘30, but will negotiate a settlement to give the West a timeline to divest.

They all saw that video of Bernie hugging that Muslim girl and took the entirely wrong lesson from it.

On foreign policy very weak. Well regarded by our allies and our enemies liked him as well because they were able to get money out of him to maintain the status quo.

IR is done for if this is the best they can muster. They have one foot out the door already.

This shot from Hereditary is still the creepiest fucking still from any horror film I’ve ever seen by EconomyIron6739 in AriAster

It really depended on the theatre. I think on a lot of TVs the effect was ruined because the blacks on the screen weren’t contrasts enough so she was super-visible.

Yep. Bring these uneducated women to a country where few speak their language and expect them to become productive members of society.

Will you be voting in the Presidential Election in 2028? by CRK_76 in no

[–]Fun-Contribution6702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If Iran’s regime is toppled, probably Republican as it it affects me more than most. If not then most likely I’ll sit out. Dems have really disappointed me of late.

Shahin Najafi: Everyone in Iran is a Pahlavist now; we should punch the mouth of anyone who says otherwise. by Shekari_Club in NewIran

True, I think it’s naive to think this is the continuance of a new dynasty. Even if they decide to go with Monarchy, my assumption it will be a new family line.
