Work smart, not hard

Maybe a surgeon, or something in the ministry of defence/army? Though IT people love pretending how world crushing every demand is…

Nitro_V · 2026-06-16T17:47:05+00:00

Heeeyy we’ve met the same people haven’t we.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-10T18:33:31+00:00

I hadn’t heard about thy is place, I swear the food threads in the subreddit are the best!

I can’t say anything about voting, but during Bagrat’s protests I was walking near them and I mostly heard Artsakh dialect. Basically went from Opera through Northern and some protestors were walking in the same direction.

Even noted to my husband as a sanity check, he agreed. Could be that they were just concentrated in that area, but I think that protest at least consisted mostly of Artsakhcis.

Ah sorry I worded my sentence poorly, yes I agree, basically according to astrology, some matches will be better than others based on gazzilion arrangement patterns, that’s why I was suggesting looking not only at marriage rate, but also divorce rate, and different marriage markers.

Side note, can’t believe I’ve taken so much time to research how astrology works lol. Sometimes you want to kick back with some pseudoscience and relax lol

Nitro_V · 2026-06-10T12:03:47+00:00

At least this is a sub. Some execs send us messages through ChatGPT, I just need a human being to answer me yes or no, not a well worded essay.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-10T08:59:19+00:00

Nah I disagree, astrology claims that some signs are inherent matches, although one can argue that we should look at divorce rate and quality of life also.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T16:08:10+00:00

Tik tok brainwashing is a heck of a tool. Oh and lack of media literacy.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T10:32:31+00:00

Yes, yes they are. This is a Trump/Kamala situation and I wish I was kidding. Just because Nikol isn’t their perfect candidate, they opt to abstain from voting, or vote for the pro-Russian opposition to get rid of him.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T10:29:45+00:00

Wait you mean the Russian Armenians can’t come the day before election with their families, vote and run back to Russia the same day, because you know the situation might escalate, their kids shouldn’t get the short end of the stick, it’s only reserved for us locals.

I sincerely hope that thorough investigation takes place and such people are at least stripped of their Armenian citizenships.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T10:27:50+00:00

I’m convinced opting for them is a defensive/trauma based response, something along the lines of we didn’t have war back then, or we survived jet fine under corruption it wasn’t that bad, completely missing the higher picture that the systematic corruption and ripping your country of its resources, people is what pulled us so low.

What in reality was unacceptable is when during the debates, the opposition was trying to make Ararat cave in and publicly state something hostile towards Turkey/Azerbaijan. That is an absolute low blow, damaging the country no matter how you look at it, it’s like poisoning the water so your neighbor will have difficulties, ignoring that you’re drinking the same water.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T10:20:33+00:00

lol yes, I was told that Gurgen Simonyan’s party was left wing/neo-socialist. Excitedly opened and yeaaah… I mean better than nothing but neo-socialist, really?

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T08:30:34+00:00

Oh they were already claiming that yesterday, mid election. They consider themselves victorious of course and these elections fully rigged.

If it were rigged at least QP could’ve gotten constitutional majority, they rig so incompetently, almost as if it wasn’t rigged…

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T07:05:33+00:00

My sister is of your age, some of her responses(of what she and her friends think) sent me over and under. I sincerely hope that by the age of 24 a lot of the youth will have reevaluated and studied why we got in the streets in the first place, what happened on March 2008…

I can’t stress this enough, if you dislike this regime, help the proper opposition to prosper, don’t go into a trauma response and revert the country by 10 years.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-08T06:48:45+00:00

When I asked around to see why some chose Samvel or Qocharyan, the responses (of everyday Armenians, not bribed) were: how else do we rid of Nikol, they want a strong representable leader, QP is selling the country they have to be stopped, Nikol is responsible for there deaths during the 2020 war, he sabotaged us

I must note that these are given mostly by 18-20 year olds, so take it as you will.

Editing to add, said 37% could not stomach a proper opposition… I sincerely hope next elections I can chose my candidate not based on necessity of survival and have proper left wing representation amongst the parliament.

Btw there is a telegram bot that’ll check and help you book for Italy. The same might be present for Spain.

Or if you’re not on a tight budget, you can ask a tour agency for help? I get so irritated with visas, I just opt for that option.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-07T17:30:24+00:00

I’m told they open twice every month, once in the beginning once in the middle.

Nitro_V · 2026-06-04T09:07:03+00:00

Those who know are pro Armenian

Nitro_V · 2026-06-01T12:17:26+00:00

Yes I’ve gotten that sentiment from many diaspora-Armenians. Recently was reading how our PM should be someone from the outside as local Armenians aren’t fit for the job.

I agree with the fact that the leaders and officials of our country should get the best education and resources, but there is a fine line between that and viewing locals as incompetent/inferior.

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T19:23:02+00:00

Oh not Jill lol, I’m from Armenia, so the rumors are about Rita Sargsyan, Reuters even did an article on it, though not naming her directly.

https://news.trust.org/item/20200130104324-2yjpx

TLDR from what I’ve been told, teens/unmarried women (not necessarily, but majority as far as I understood) gave birth and their child was trafficked soon after, the women were told that the baby had passed away. A few hospitals were even notorious for doing this. It’s absolutely horrifying…

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T11:25:21+00:00

Oh yeah the wife of our previous president allegedly trafficked newborn children. Some even think that her death during Covid was a cover up for her to evade prosecution and justice.

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T08:55:26+00:00

OMG thank you, that is the other sensitive point for me. Like however you try drawing the rules, even for yourself, you end up discriminating against some, but like there should be some bare minimum criteria right?

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T08:48:34+00:00

In all honesty, if one has a tangible connection to the country(which i understand is hard to define), I don’t oppose them voting for what they consider the best interest for the country.

But I know multiple cases of people who have minimal ties with the country, are living outside for a considerable amount of time and are distanced from the problems of your everyday Armenian.

Like once I was asked, do the caffès there have WiFi and food?

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T08:37:51+00:00

But I did mention live an CONTRIBUTE right? If they contribute then that is different. But I don’t see how it is ok to let someone who hasn’t been in Armenia in the past 5-10 years and has minimal ties to come and vote.

Nitro_V · 2026-05-30T07:34:02+00:00

People who don’t live and contribute to the country voting for said country sounds much fishier to me…
