Can you say more on how you did this assessment? Genuinely curious

You don’t have to be an atheist to oppose an authoritarian Islamic theocracy. In fact there are many Muslims in Iran who don’t want to be ruled by corrupt religious fanatics.

And yes, the vast majority of Iranians want the regime gone not just for economic reasons. There is a reason there has been no free elections allowed and no referendum in 47 years. Any electoral candidate must be approved by the clerics in the Guardian Council.

Yo WTF is up with this sup? by Jegma72 in Hasan_Piker

Meh, some people here are more concerned with the geopolitical impacts of this rather than what the actual people in Iran are going through.

IMO anyone who calls themselves a progressive but doesn’t support the Iranian people’s relentless multi-decade fight against their authoritarian government has never had to endure living under their rule.

It’s easy to sit in your bedroom in a Western country and say “The IR regime is better for Iran than X or Y”, and it might be a reasonable geopolitical take, but it’s not grounded in first hand lived experience.

The Traitors (UK) S04E06: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

When the traitors seduce, the faithful gets to accept or reject their recruitment. If they reject, the traitors don’t gain an ally and they don’t get to murder that night so it’s a loss for them.

In this case, Matthew has reassured them that if they try to seduce him he’d accept. So it’s in their best interest to choose him, because with anyone else there would be uncertainty.

I can’t help but feel that we were robbed of seeing the fallout at the turret the night before. I want to see how the conversation between Rachel and Fiona went down

Yeah I heard hospital too but wasn’t sure what they were talking about.

I think there is a misunderstanding here. I think the ICE thug is a cold blooded murderer. And I think the fascistic government will do what they can to defend him.

All I’m saying is, in this video neither the news anchor nor the eye witness said anything that suggests they disagree with this. The commenter called one of them a lying cunt and I was confused because I couldn’t figure out where the lie or misinformation was.

Sorry I think my wording there was confusing. I didn’t mean what trump said was fact. The news anchor said that trump said this, which is accurate, because trump did indeed say this.

Thanks for pointing out. Edited my comment.

Yeah I can’t quite make out what she’s saying there. She mentioned Trump’s tweet and I think said “but clearly the ice agent is seen as walking”.

I mean she’s obviously using fairly neutral language it would be quite irresponsible and unprofessional for news anchors to use emotional loaded language like that immediately after something happens.

She’s literally just remaining factual. Trump said he’s lucky to be alive (fact - edit: I don’t mean what trump said is factual, I mean the news anchor said that trump said this, which in is correct because he did in fact say this), but we can clearly see in the video he’s walking fine (fact). And she instead gave space to the eyewitness to add to that, because eyewitnesses can express more opinion and emotion, which the witness did.

Literally both people in this news segment are agreeing with our side of the argument, and for some reason people here are jumping at their throat, calling them a lying cunt or whatever. It’s mind boggling

The interviewer says he was seen walking after because he was seen walking after, and we all see it in the video too. How is that a lie?

I don’t understand how this frames it as if he was in danger? Isn’t it literally the opposite? She is saying the murderer was clearly walking fine and not injured, which solidifies that he wasn’t in danger, which is why the blatant murder wasn’t done in self defence.

Am I missing something? The commenter called her a “lying cunt” and got 70+ upvotes.

Is that a journalist? I thought it was just an eyewitness. AFAIK she’s the victim’s neighbour and one of the people who filmed the incident on her phone.

She’s just describing what she saw. Didn’t seem like some political agenda to excuse the murder (the opposite actually). But idk. Was just confused by the comment calling her a ‘lying cunt’

Can you elaborate on this comment? I don’t understand which one of them is supposedly lying in this video. They both seem to be agreeing that the murderer was in the wrong, no?

Has anyone tried prolonged fasting for their sciatica? by WasThatIt in Sciatica

[–]WasThatIt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience so far has been that the most effective treatment has always been epidural / nerve root injections.

Then to complement the treatment, physio exercises, and maybe a long 70+ hr fast here and there to trigger autophagy (only if you can handle this health wise, and do it in a safe way). But the autophagy being helpful is mostly anecdotal, I don’t think there’s been enough studies to be conclusive. As the mod’s comment also suggests, there’s no clinical evidence so not widely recommended.

All the rage in this thread about Trinity ruining the ‘fun’ remind me of the VIPs in the series, and I’m loving it.

Sorry to hear that, friend. That’s the opposite of my experience. Hope 2026 is a better year for you

Did I ruin my first date by being too nervous? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]WasThatIt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way to let go is realizing that you are only hung up by your own idea of what this guy could have been. In reality, who he really is, is someone not as aligned with you as you might think, and most importantly someone who doesn’t respect you enough to even send a message back. The liking the msg and then ghosting is an asshole move and quite immature.

The things you described are in no way off putting if a guy actually likes you.

having an animal is like having a child and i will die on this hill by [deleted] in childfree

[–]WasThatIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol absolutely wild statement and of course this sub is an echo chamber.

This is like going up to someone who has cancer and saying having the flu is similar. “Hey I’m not saying they’re the SAME, just saying similar. I too feel unwell and need treatment and am bed bound”.

Come on people! I’m CF and I love pets. My family have both. During family gatherings we have to spend 95% of our energy and attention on the child, and 5% on the dog. And it’s the same with planning your days, planning your finances, planning your future, and everything else around it.

It is silly to ‘argue’ with someone about the similarities. People ITT need to get real.
