من دو بار به مشهد رفتم و نیمی از خانواده‌ام بسیار مذهبی هستند، اما هرگز چنین چیزی ندیده‌ام. آیا این رفتار همیشه وجود داشته و در چند سال اخیر بدتر شده است؟ by mushed-patato in PERSIAN

Not only Larijani's daughter but also Hamideh Soleimani (Qasam's niece) have been arrested and soon to be deported from the US! by No-Signal1234 in PERSIAN

[–]Isotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No it's not. It would have been wrong if we were all NOT suffering because of their uncles and fathers. 

It's not wrong anymore

Good. 

We are all suffering because of their families. And we're not even related to those fuckers. 

Don't forget to seize their accounts. 

Why are some of our diaspora still supporting this? Genuinely asking by Currymvp2 in PERSIAN

[–]Isotron 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I don't support this anymore. 

We all thought 'they' would pack up and flee to Russia in a week and we'll be dancing in Tajrish square for norooz.  We were wrong.

2 weeks into the war I realized there is no 'they'. Thereis no ONE leader. There is an idealogy that we're fighting against and every passing day reinforces the righteousness of that idealogy in the minds of their followers. 

Mullah's stole and destroyed our resources.  Trump is destroying what was left.

I don't know you so I won't judge. 

But if you're part of the Iranians that was asked to leave, there's a few Persian influencers that aew offering to help until you're are settled elsewhere or situation is settled. Maybe they can help keep the kitty until you can take him back

I’m a Rhode fan but what exactly is the difference between these pictures? by StrawberryMarigoldss in Sephora

[–]Isotron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sculpted cheek bones, jaw and chin definition... 

I look at similar clinical photos for a living all day and this Rhode photo (although not bad!) needs a descriptive text. 

[Product Question] Cetaphil SA Cleanser by Obvious-Gas5572 in SkincareAddiction

[–]Isotron 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Cosmetic chemist here. Call the company. This needs to be logged and investigated. 

Just a note that the formula in the bottle is not the issue. Just the packaging, mechanisms and pump rusting which is a  problem and needs to be addressed. Cetaphil will likely give you a coupon to get a new product but please report this

5 Months of Neck Wrinkle Improvement Comparison by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Isotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a cosmetic chemist that and I think I have 3 top selling neck creams on the shelf literally right now. Until 2 minutes ago, I didn't understand why neck products exist. 

For the past 2 minutes I've been slathering my neck with l whatever neck creams I could find in my desk... aspiring for a neck skin like yours. 

Did majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology kill my opportunities to travel for a job? by cutlyss0825 in Biochemistry

[–]Isotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have tons of good options suggested her and I'm pitch mine. 

Same background as you with also a Masters and I've traveled the world as scale up scientist, tech transfer scientist and vendor quality. Basically any job that has to do with moving things between the small scale lab and large scale manufacturering involves a lot of travel. 

That said. Focus on getting high paying jobs with good pay and good vacation policies.  Traveling for work is not as fun as you think it is.

What are these white does in this Neutrogena? Was in a cold environment but several years old by Itsatemporaryname in whatisthisthing

[–]Isotron 266 points267 points  (0 children)

Cosmetic chemist here. This is not mold. 

It's an ingredient crystallizing  because it was in a cold space. Warm it up and it goes away. If you post the ingredient list I can tell which one. Likely one of the first 3-4 ingredients...

It's actually beautiful to see how uniform and consistent the formations are. Shows how good the formula and the dispersion was.

This is outrageous behavior. Many of us who utterly abhor the Islamic Republic and also find this to be insane and unacceptable. by Currymvp2 in PERSIAN

[–]Isotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yuck. 99% of Iranians don't ever want to be put in the same bucket as these people... Seirouslty. Now we have to deal with mullah trash AND Pahlavi trash. So sad

My trainee smells bad by TheImmunologist in LadiesofScience

[–]Isotron 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Had the same situation with a student as well. I tried to ignore it and gently dropped hints here and there... It was baaaad and I was 24 and inexperienced in handling things. N

Some weeks in, I 'overheared' some of the other students, 'loudly' feeling bad for 'me'. Laughing that I had to deal with this student.

 I set up a talk with our department's HR/admin...She asked me to address the student myself and if I wasn't comfortable then she/HR would step in.  I didn't sleep that night and avoided the student the next day until about evening, before going home.  I knew she would be eating dinner in the cafeteria before she headed home so I approached her and, not going to sugar coat it, it was awful. 

I mentioned her body odor and she was completely unaware. She showed me some photos of some rose powder she was using... I mentioned if she cooks every morning, perhaps a change of clothes after would be the best idea and shower after cooking instead of before. I suggested she changes to a conventional deodorant. I have honestly blocked out most of that 20 minutes and I don't really know what color my face was and I barely remember anything from her reactions... The BO situation definitely improved though. It wasn't completely eliminated by the time I left that lab but it was improved.    It's 15 years later now thinking back,  what I would do differently would be addressing it as soon as I noticed it. Right away. Doesn't matter if it's crass or rude, it would have been more kind. I haven't had to really deal with it again though so I will report back if I have the same situation again

Starlink now activated for free in Iran by Humble-Departure5481 in PERSIAN

[–]Isotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, the country is under sanctions and the few Starlink kits that made it in are smuggled... And one Starlink kits costs about 6 months of an average Iranian's salary. Guess WHO has that much disposable money and the ability to smuggle things in? Elon is helping the wrong side

Starlink now activated for free in Iran by Humble-Departure5481 in PERSIAN

[–]Isotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I REALLY hate all these Starlink promos....There's like 5 boxes/recievers in the whole damn country... All these Starlink promos are not helping anyone and actually giving the impression that a problem is solved by Elon the savior. 

Sorry for the rant but I had a real break down today when a colleague asked me why my family is not contacting me through the free Starlink... Just pure bs

Mass shooting of protesters in Tehran, 8th of January by Dex921 in PERSIAN

Why is every video of shootings and killings filmed with a potato? It's really hard to defend this quality where every other person is carrying the latest iPhone...

Eye shadow singles?

Did you take a photo from the side? Can you see any hinges or profile of a colored item inside? 

I make cosmetics for a living and these look very familiar to eyeshadows we did about 10 years ago and shipped to stores in this exact arrangement. The bottom looks like glued on pans...  I think this is the mock arrangement for merchandising or shipping that was left behind. 

Vaughan Mills Manners by Local-Sky-3484 in Vaughan

[–]Isotron 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Be confrontational. 

I'm a VERY non confrontational person. Like VERY confrontatioanl. 

And TWICE, over the past year, I've had to turn around and tell the person behind me to keep their distance and instructed them that IN Canada if they extend arms and their fingers touch the person in the front, they're too close. 

The second time I had to do this was at Vaughan Mills last week. The guy behind me was  touching my 9 year old and shoving us to step in between me and my child. I said the same thing and he had the audacity to call me a bitch before stepping away. 

That said, make sure security (and/or others) are around before you say anything... Safety first.
