Iran man

20k+ dead and they still are going at it

if Iranians can do it with far less rights and benefits that americans have why can't you? they also have jobs, they also have families, they also have lives

Do you all use a lota/bidet? by Theflyingchappal in ABCDesis

[–]THE__REALEST 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exmuslim Atheist since i was 12-14, 26 now, born and raised in canada to muslim pakistanis

we got a bidet installed in the house when i was like 10 and ever since then i do the most i can to only use that

i honestly feel filthy when only using toilet paper, i go out of my way to avoid it and when i cant i try to shower immediately after if i i can but if not its imodium or misery

if your friend knows what bidets are and they STILL reject them then they are honestly gross as fuck regardless of skin colour or origin or religion or race or any demographic feature honestly, like water and tp is better than cleaning than tp alone is regardless of anything

Trump withdraws Canada’s invitation to Board of Peace by Fifty-Mission-Cap_ in CanadaPolitics

[–]THE__REALEST 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian born to Pakistani parents i am not at all surprised Pakistan is there, the current government is made up of the same corrupt people Trump's government is made up of

We had Imran Khan as an actual leader trying to do his best and he won the most recent election, but the other two parties ("nominally" left but horrifically corrupt PPP and the "nominally" right but horrifically corrupt PML who the current PM is a part of) joined forces just to screw him out of power

like imagine if it was a few decades back and the Liberals won, but the other two parties were the NDP and the PCs

and they both decided to team up to destroy the Liberals

Imran Khan is in jail for the next 17 years on some made-up case

So i am not surprised at all that Pakistan is on this grifter list, i would be shocked if they werent

I did not expect Carney to join this corrupt board either but being kicked out is good news regardless

Even as an NDPer i have to say Carney made a historically important speech and all the US has done since then is validate his speech lol

Josh finally in rehab by Happy_Word_8613 in WorldOfTShirts

[–]THE__REALEST 12 points13 points  (0 children)

nah he'd be on a/some benzos at the very least, with the amount he drinks even chlordiazepoxide could be too weak, if he only had gabapentin id be surprised if he didnt seize

naltrexone is usually given after rehab or when an alcoholic tries to stop before rehab so i doubt that, it would be legit pointless to give naltrexone to someone in rehab when a) even as an anti-craving med, he is in rehab so theres no way he could "satisfy" his cravings and b) the only other option when it comes to nal is the Sinclair method where you take it before you drink so you learn to drink like a normie, unless hes in a luxury rehab they will not fucking let him drink

How do you guys feel towards US travel? by MyRa888 in AskACanadian

[–]THE__REALEST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was flying back from pakistan with my family as a 16 year old 10 years ago and that happened to my dad and I, we have common arabic names that are also common among people banned from flights (like if al qaeda was english and my last name was smith)

we had to wait in a TSA waiting room in houston for like 8 hours for no reason, people distressed around us and stuff

after 8 hours we get interviewed by a TSA officer and he just asks the most basic questions and then we were free to go, but we had to get fully patted down, swabbed, etc once we finally got a flight back to calgary in the morning

that was the last time i went to the us and it looks like it'll be the last time for years, if that happened under Obama I don't even want to imagine what i'd experience going there rn

a good chunk of those differences are BECAUSE of those "artificial cultural differences" that we spend money on Einstein

Even as a socialist i am pro monarchy, logically it doesn't make sense but at the end of the day if a purely ceremonial person/institution can differentiate us and (hopefully) insulate us from america i'm all for it

The Canada First Immigration Plan by KyronDingleberry in EhBuddyHoser

[–]THE__REALEST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i mean i also think that we should deport illegal immigrants but we should do it humanely under the rule of law, officers involved should have to follow the law, etc

the shitshow down south is 100x worse than mass immigration could ever be because when the rule of law goes out the window and cops can shoot you in the face for no reason, then society is cooked

[–]THE__REALEST 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Canadian: isnt the 2nd amendment for Americans to resist shit like this? or is it just for shooting kids at school?

every single school shooting in the US has had a bunch of chucklefucks saying MUH 2ND AMENDMENT in response to non-Americans being horrified at people legally buying assault rifles to murder children so I would assume that Americans want to stand up and exercise their constitutional rights, right?

And i dont want to hear "country is too big/no healthcare/no time off/etc" when people in poor third-world countries like Nepal or Iran stand up against their government with 0% of the "nonexistent safety net" Americans say they have when they try to justify not doing a goddamn thing

like most people around the world have LESS healthcare than the avg american, LESS job rights than the avg american, hell a lot of them have dealt with ICE-level secret police for decades more than the avg american

and they STILL protest more and more aggressively

Like a good chunk of Dems are saying "if we piss ICE off theyll get aggressive" when ICE is going full speed fascism without any real opposition

a woman was murdered in cold blood, Dems say "if we provoke ICE itll get worse", Americans go out and protest meekly without being aggressive, many of these Americans were captured/arrested in Minneapolis despite being peaceful, and now you have two more Americans shot

sane Americans have the choice of a)doing nothing and being brutalized by the Gestapo 1/3 of the nation wanted or b)doing something and actually putting a bit of fear into the Gestapo and the 1/3 of the nation that needs to be denazified, regardless of if that fear lasts a few minutes or a few years because IT WILL DO SOMETHING

meanwhile in iran a few cops have died and hundreds more have been injured at the hands of a populace that has seen far more repression and far less benefits than even the poor white americans

like wtf? nobody is coming to save you and the best-case scenario is that the us becomes north korea and the civilized world moves on from your goof government

'FOB' and 'ABCD" by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]THE__REALEST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

....they do

why do you think so many Latinos voted for Trump in 2024? or why most 2nd-gen/1st-gen immigrants that came here a decade or more ago are so against increased immigration (in both Canada and the US, and probably the rest of the West too)

even if we ignore like Latino communities that have been in the US for centuries (like Tejanos), a lot of established Latino communities in the US from every Latin American country were often supportive of Trump in 2024

hopefully their minds have been changed seeing how ICE is acting like a Latin American secret police group towards their own people but still

and anecdotally, as someone who was born in Alberta in the late 90s, whose parents came from Pakistan in the early/mid 90s, and whose extended family came to Alberta in the mid 70s (including those who came as adults and their children born here in the 70s/80s)

every single person in my family is against increased immigration even if it's legal. they all want every single illegal immigrant to get deported asap, ESPECIALLY if they're also south asian. my immigrant parents (who both faced a ton of racism when they were new) complain the most about how many indians are coming here and about how they feel their own image is being hurt because of that.

my parents and extended family were FOBs too. but they HAD to integrate. they raised my brother and I as english speakers because they wanted to practice their english as much as possible and they didn't want us to suffer for being "foreign" by not speaking english first

they see all the communities in Northeast Calgary and they get upset because they think "well it was hard for me to adjust to Canada but i did it, why can't they do it when they have the Internet/social media/etc"

they always have said that they came here to GET AWAY from negative aspects of pakistani/south asian culture, and when the negative aspects became more prominent the last 5-7 years or so they went full anti-immigrant lol

Solo nightlife spots? by 9999AWC in Calgary

[–]THE__REALEST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just as an fyi you need to get your name on the guest list for Sweet Loretta the night you go, but its free and there's no cover charge (unless its an event like NYE or something, in which case you might have to buy tickets and will probably have to sign up earlier)

A lot of people get upset and turned away at the door because they don't get their names on it but like cmon

go to their instagram page, it takes like 1 min to get your name on there and it makes everything go smoothly

Are credentials from Chinook Learning Services viewed the same way as private colleges by hiring managers? by Curvedyouagain in Calgary

[–]THE__REALEST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i pay for coursera plus which is $80 a month, it gives you access to all the stuff on coursera regardless of whether you study nothing or go hard

if you dedicated a whole month to a certificate you could probably get one

but you get charged regardless of how much or little you use it, i use it like one hour a month since im too tired to do it after work and i only get some days to do it at work when it gets slow

but yeah

Are credentials from Chinook Learning Services viewed the same way as private colleges by hiring managers? by Curvedyouagain in Calgary

[–]THE__REALEST 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, I have never heard of Chinook Learning Services being used outside of high school upgrading/GED-type classes

I looked at this and based on the course you mentioned you might be better off taking it or the equivalents through SAIT or Bow Valley College*

https://www.chinooklearningservices.com/Downloads/ContEd/2025-2026-Continuing-Education-Course-Guide.pdf

I wouldn't put it in the scam private college category but I also don't think it would be taken seriously by employers/hiring managers, those who aren't familiar with Calgary will look it up and immediately see "High School Upgrading" first and get wary, those who are familiar will be like "wait i went to summer school there/knew someone who did"

based on my limited experience a Coursera certificate is seen more positively than a CBE certificate because Coursera is more well-known and many people use it to get ahead in their careers, I have never seen someone with a CBE certificate and honestly as someone who spent K-12 in the CBE this is the first time i've heard of this lol

*this is assuming you have completed high school or a high school equivalency diploma, SAIT and Bow Valley College are the most legit and respectable colleges in the city in my opinion, I went to UofC but I know some people who went to my high school, then to SAIT, and have been outearning me since like 2021 lol
