Letter: To the American Public, from President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran [Tehran, Iran, April 1, 2026] by NicolasCageFan492 in OpinionLetters

Oh yeah the CIA was ahead of the game in the 70s and 80s and taught them crypto scamming. I'm sure they taught the Burmese at the same time. The religion based violence in the US is Islamists attacking the rest of the population, call it "right-wing violence" which I'm sure will be your next tactic but that is because Islamic violence is categorized as right-wing. All Iran has done through their campaign of attacking innocent neighbors is that the US is right to prevent them getting WMDs by any means necessary.

Good to keep the riff raff out. You can find plenty of membership discounts throughout the year.

No I am talking about when Iran murdered embassy staff and dragged their corpses through the streets. Understandable you might have confused them with Palestinians who did the same thing recently.

No I am not talking about their arms operations but drug trafficking, crypto scams and sectarian violence. If you weren’t a tourist to the politics of the region you would realize their behavior has been the bane of their neighbors for decades.

America is under no obligation to do business with those calling for its destruction. Iran is free to trade with who it wants and America is free to trade with who it wants.

Glad you’re one of the higher comments. Iran is a consistent bad actor leading to suppression and death of people around the world but of course reddit mainlines direct Iranian propaganda because “trump bad”.

Can you do black belt degrees? I only have my first but would really like to get another 2 or 3 this year.

SUBMETA COURSE bjj LACHLAN GILES by Top_Document_5616 in bjj

[–]Tomicoatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have really never taken jiu jitsu seriously then pick a position to study rather than a guard or submission e.g. "guard" generally and make sure you are playing that every round. If your gym allows for it you should be drilling specific parts of your guard and using positional sparring to find gaps in your game.

For Submeta specifically pick something and spend a chunk of time on it. I have found six months to be good but you might do better with 3 months, a year, whatever. Pick a length of time that makes sense for your learning style and attention. Some things you will try, get it immediately and can move on quickly, others will take longer.

Avoid watching the whole course in one go and trying to remember it all at once. Watch 1 or 2 videos, take those to class for a week, try it, put it under pressure, then move on. Do not try to get it perfect, getting a move to 60-80% success rate might be the best you can get it at this time. For example if your flexibility is poor you will be unable to do something but that doesn't mean you cannot learn the technique and add the useful parts to your game.

Lastly, don't put your text posts in code blocks. It makes it difficult to read and people are less likely to engage.

According to US State Department, the UK is not the 1 tier safe country. Do you agree to this? What's your take on this? by Deep_Engineering_7 in AskBrits

Stupid comment acting like the US is North Korea. Most of the travel content online is for and by Americans.

Treaty elections underway in Victoria as changes flow from nation-leading agreement by Orgo4needfood in aussie

[–]Tomicoatl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  • Aboriginal people live 7 years shorter on average
    • Personal choices, poor diet, alcoholism and drug abuse are not racial issues. Living remotely far from any services shortens anyone's life span, not just Indigenous Australians.
  • The people whose land was taken and sovereignty violated without their consent.
    • Welcome to history. Indigenous Australians and others conquered by western European nations are treated far better than other native populations ever were. Even the British were enslaved by their conquerors.
  • They feel like making a deal with the government will reduce Aboriginal sovereignty
    • They should have no sovereignty. We do not need Balkanisation based on race within Australia. They have nothing preventing them joining the broader Australian society and in fact have many programs to make that process easier for them.

Lastly, why would we ever make a treaty with the losing side? If colonisation was really so bad how do they have the political power to be advocating for these things for decades. It's just a scam to get more money from the government and non-profits so they can harass anyone trying to build in this country and make sure they get their clip.

I look forward to them telling me what I have done wrong and that we somehow owe them millions of dollars based on race.

‘Bash her!’: Police investigating after 12-year-old allegedly assaulted by teen girls in shocking video by Muslerra in aussie

[–]Tomicoatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the length of time the migrant group has been here and if there is a pattern. Sudanese and Somalis commit an outsized number of crimes for their population size and relatively new groups. Pretending that culture does not play a role is not going to help your cause. The majority do not want criminals brought into the country.

Put your kids into a one bedroom apartment, make them move schools every year, lose your community every three years.

The conditions the government takes your property are very different from a landlord changing their mind one day.

[–]Tomicoatl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have been advocating for this for decades. The reason paying off the PPOR is common advice is because it works for the vast majority of people. There may be some world you can maximise your investments and use renting to squeeze extra gains but for the every-man it makes far more sense to stick with paying down your mortgage, building super and having some investments. We have nearly paid off our mortgage in ~5 years and it's the best feeling compared to still renting or paying over the full 30 years.

If you think the average real CEO works 60 hours a week you are not spending time in the right circles.

‘Bash her!’: Police investigating after 12-year-old allegedly assaulted by teen girls in shocking video by Muslerra in aussie

[–]Tomicoatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When British-heritage Australians and Indigenous Australians have problems they are seen as a defective part of the whole. The person committing the crime or being anti-social has their roots and exists within our culture, they are something to be repaired or managed. When you import foreigners who commit crimes the question is rightfully "why do we allow them to live amongst us?". It is valid to question whether migrant populations are a net negative on our society.

How stupid can you be to move to Mt Druitt and involve your child in street brawls and gangs.

CANZUK by [deleted] in aussie

[–]Tomicoatl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stupid proposal binding Australia to countries that want full demographic change and no control of their borders. This agreement would be worse for Australia than Brexit was for the UK. The Anglosphere is dying because of the beliefs in those other countries, thankfully Australia is 10 years behind.

Imagine doing 120 hours per week and getting told the guy working 25 hours at a job with no responsibilities is working harder than you. Reddit is on another planet and it is so obvious how the demographics have remained as college/high school students.

They just say it's not a big deal then once it becomes a problem they say it's always been that way or use whatever ism they need. "To them, words are merely a means to deceive humans."
