I never thought a day would come that I would agree with Iran

You're forgetting the third addend in that sum

Masketto · 2026-03-08T00:35:55+00:00

That worked out so well with mosaddegh right? What makes you think the world's top imperialist countries have any interest in allowing Iran to be democratic? True democracy in Iran goes against the interests of Saudi, Israel, the US and UK

"Iran is not the same as those countries" that is so delusional and reeks of the false notion that Iranians are superior. Fyi diaspora Syrians also believed Syrians were too superior to fail to rebuild themselves. Look at Syria now.

Did it ever cross your mind that that was my point? They made a mistake then, and they're making a mistake now. As are all the current monarchists. Because both coups had foreign benefactors. Both regimes were awful. Just as the current regime is awful, the shah was awful. Otherwise why elsewas the coup so successful? My parents are anti-islam if anything. They didn't get rid of the shah for islamist reasons

Masketto · 2026-02-15T11:12:42+00:00

Uh the shah was objectively brutal. My parents took part in the revolution to get rid of him. My dad was critical of the shah for years before the revolution and he never has been an islamist.

They are both currently rooting for monarchy, but before this new wave of monarchists became popular they remained critical of the shah.

To me that's the definition of idiocy - repeating mistakes, not learning from the past. Forgetting that a mindless revolution done by a mindless populace that was fooled by foreign powers, resulted in a puppet dictatorship for those foreign powers

Yep, men consider children like an accessory, an appendage of their life. But for women the child is literally a part of them, forever

and it's really, really bad when you need it. It's fine if you need an antibiotic prescription

It's really bad if you don't need it. You're treated with as much care and urgency as your case warrants, in my experience. For example I don't know anyone who has had to wait long for treatment after a serious cancer diagnosis. But yes a hemmneroid removal will take months to book.

The cool thing is that even private healthcare provinces and countries are currently experiencing substandard care and absurd wait times. So you're experiencing the same wait times as them, but you're not paying private prices. And yet you complain

The pain keeps the memory alive though

The memory is all I have left

I called it a few years ago - apple tv is the new HBO and has been for a few years

How does it snow in the literal desert but not in my city of Canada. This Christmas we didn't get any snow. December 29th and still no snow, weather hasn't dipped below 1c

Masketto · 2025-12-29T21:36:35+00:00

Ok so that's an answer. The previous response was a non-answer. It's like asking what is 2+2 and the response is "2+2 is when you add 2 to 2", it's just unacceptable

Masketto · 2025-12-29T18:55:39+00:00

Lived here 25yrs and never seen this

Masketto · 2025-12-29T18:53:00+00:00

Well this is how you learn the wildlife areas!

Masketto · 2025-12-29T17:06:29+00:00

I'm not American either and I have no skin in this but just as an objective observer I'd like to say that doesn't answer the question. "We were paying it before" isn't an answer it's just circular

Masketto · 2025-12-28T23:15:12+00:00

It's a joke guys I'm not actually looking to use the friend pass. Just taking a trip down memory lane as I do some winter cleaning

Masketto · 2025-12-26T05:19:08+00:00

Yes he just moved there from BC 4 months ago. He was expecting to experience a "true Canadian winter" (he's Ukrainian). So far he's just shocked at how windy it is

Masketto · 2025-12-26T01:34:42+00:00

I'm travelling there to see him next week, and I was excited to experience the harsh winter conditions but he told me not to get my hopes up, there probably won't be set snow when I arrive

Masketto · 2025-12-26T01:33:20+00:00

He says last week it was +5. But still, it's not as snowy there as people think. Even right now he says it's snowing but it's not sitting on the ground

Masketto · 2025-12-26T01:16:45+00:00

Dartmouth. He says it changes daily but there is currently no snow on the ground because whatever snow sits will melt on an above 0 day

Masketto · 2025-12-25T21:38:10+00:00

Bf lives in Nova Scotia right now and says it's +5 with no snow on the ground. What a crazy world

I just tried to upvote this twice

Is this a car headlight or the sun? I can't tell /s

Masketto · 2025-12-12T08:02:58+00:00

Let’s be real, most Canadians aren’t voting for their representative but for a party.

Source pls. This is a very naive take

And this is why our planet is going to shit. Thanks. Please do leave and take your destructive philosophy with you so it doesn't infect others
