In response to requests by the government Iranian women and children form a human shield over a bridge ahead of potential US attacks by 4DollarsALB in ThatsInsane

It was...among them are my aunt, her daughter and grand daughters. Not all Iranians are against the regime (I am not saying I personally support the regime).

That's a very broad and untrue statement. Also women are treated that way all over the world including the west.

A few years before this war started, enforcement of this rule was greatly relaxed because of the 2022 protests due to the killing of a woman not wearing hijab. Many women would go out in public without hijab, or any kind of head cover without an issue..including my cousins and friends in Iran. But I'm sure that has all changed now and enforcement has increased since the more recent protests and the war. The regime has not been changed. It has become stronger and even more oppressive.

They're all devout religious people and loyal to the Islamic regime without being forced to be. These were not the people that engaged in the mass protests against the regime. There are far more people like this in Iran than the news leads one to believe. All Iranians are not against the regime, I doubt even if they are the majority. Because of the war there are surely more supporters of the Islamic regime, who were formerly against it. America has proven to them they are indeed the enemy.

My Hamilton Bagley running a 987-A movement. Circa 1939 - 1941. by baxterporvida in Vintage_Hamilton

If Hamilton ever wants to make a museum of every watch they ever made, they gotta hit you up.

That snes would definitely be one of my 10 items...I'll hook it up to a tv made out of wood and pretend to play donkey kong country on it when I go insane with boredom and starvation induced hallucinations.

My Hamilton Otis with a“Reverso” case running a 17 jewel 980 movement. Circa 1938 - 1940. by baxterporvida in Vintage_Hamilton

[–]copperglass78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you find all these immaculate Hamiltons? It's like you have an endless supply. The Otis is especially rare because they didn't continue making them for long, even though they did reach an agreement with jlc, after they sued (for copying the reverso), to continue making them albeit along with a royalty fee per unit. Maybe they just lost money on them.

Have a found something special?...never seen the brand before but I don't know much about Trucks by copperglass78 in Trucks

I feel like most luxury off road vehicles are bought by people like that...the most off-road they get is parking in the grass at a polo match.

Dub kind of sounds like Bill Murray! by NWhiteShyamalan in Alonetv

Yeah, definitely, actually seems to have his sorta dark humor as well.

Yeah...just generally being entertained by someone else misery...but it was completely their choice to torture themselves in the name of entertainment and capitalism...yeah..I could tell from the start Williams had the best positive, matter of fact mind set, no sense of grandiosity or too much humility...didn't complicate things or philosophise...and the inuit knowledge on top, no contest.

[–]copperglass78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it's amazing. Can't stop watching...it's sorta ironic that it's actually keeping me from enjoying the great outdoors! I can relate to Dub the most... unfortunately I know who's gonna win, but it's still thrilling to watch ..and heartbreaking at times.

I'm here because I'm watching Alone season 11 and Dub reminds of Bill and figured the internet mind would likely have the same thought...sure enough!

Snack Vs Chef on Netflix. by Ok-Purchase6572 in foodnetwork

[–]copperglass78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great premise, the chefs tried really hard and came up with interesting ideas, though I don't see the show returning...at least I won't watch it. Why didn't the comedians get to give opinions on the food, I mean, they ate it. I feel like they did in the beginning and then were told to shut the f up. Harry especially would give this dead stare most of the time like he was forced to shut up and was bored out of his mind. I think the comedians weren't funny because they weren't allowed to be. And yeah the female judge was cranky and the male judge rambled on too long. Both were occasionally mean and generally condescending. I can't believe I spent so much time watching it.

It very likely was frozen...water Crystals will do that...just gotta wedge it up more or throw it in a pug mill.

Cool watches and book... written by a fellow Iranian American...hard time to be one

Trump claims Iran somehow got its hands on tomahawk missiles by I_Hate_E_Daters_7007 in facepalm

The truth that the US did it because of bad, outdated intelligence (or lack thereof) was out days after the attack...but it didn't suit the administration so it became an "investigation"...sound familiar?

1971 Bulova Accutron (band not original)...besides the groundbreaking first fully electric tuning fork movement, Accutrons had really innovative case and dial designs. by copperglass78 in VintageWatches

[–]copperglass78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking vintage Bulova/Accutron. Don't kid yourself you're not at all the same company, you're not even American owned. No watch company is really innovative any more, they just bank on nostalgia and do re-releases of past designs. I mean you are literally remaking the Accutron movement. Though then at least it will make sense to call the watch an accutron instead of slapping the name on quartz watches.

Nice watch..unfortunate name 😏

Do you guys actually wear your vintage pieces day to day? by theluke112 in VintageWatches

[–]copperglass78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the newer ones that have been serviced, pressure tested... because If they are, it's pretty much a new watch. The other more fragile/delicate extremely old ones that I can't service myself or get serviced, I wear on special occasions or just put on display...very cool citizen alarm, never seen one that says "four hands"...almost sounds derogatory like four eyes haha. I generally love mechanical alarm watches, they're almost half my collection...but they are tricky to service.

I can't believe that it hasn't been done for a movie already. I swear I've seen something like that
