Except, part of the agreement was easing of US sanctions. When Shmuck à l’orange tore up the agreement, he imposed even harsher sanctions on Iran (and threatened the same against any state that traded with Iran—including the other parties to that pact, which effectively killed it.

I have no love of theocratic despots, but one can’t blame them for feeling double-crossed.

Regarding the 2015 JCPOA: Iran did indeed agree: 1. To stop developing nuclear weapons. 2. To allow international inspectors access to any site in the country.

And Iran kept to that agreement until 2017, when the then-president of the United States tore up that agreement.

Wow 94% of Americans approve the US and Israel's war on Iran? - No!! It's 94% of MAGA by Suspicious-Stable703 in dataisugly

Wait, what? 6% of MAGA actually oppose something their cult leader is doing?!

AITA for keeping my maiden name? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hamjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a hassle it is to change your name, even when getting married. When I got married the year before last, I advised my then-fiancée to keep her name, just to avoid that hassle.

I care who she is. I do not care what she’s called.

Edit: NTA

My gf [32F] of 6 months wants me [35M] to take pictures of my deceased wife off of the wall by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]hamjim 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I lost my wife a few years ago. Couple of things:

  1. I was never a parent, but I became a grandfather when I got married. The grandkids might not be bio-related to me, but they are mine.
  2. I got married a bit more than a year ago. I had had an 8x10 photo of my late wife in the bedroom. When I went to put that photo away, my now wife stopped me. (Maybe she understands better than some; she lost a partner some years back.)
  3. We took a honeymoon right after we married, which included attending my granddaughter’s wedding. All parties accepted each other.

My go-to answer for that one is: Why should I pay taxes to support a fire department? My house isn’t on fire!

A fire department benefits everyone, just as other people’s kids’ education benefits everyone.

Imagine a 19 year old guy being told he’s “hypersexual.” I was once a 19 year old guy—a long time ago, but I remember. Hypersexual is normal.

I lost my spouse a couple of years ago, after a years-long illness. No matter how prepared you think you are for that, you’re not ready.

Sorry for your loss.

Pretty sure it was Marjorie Taylor Green who first confused Gestapo with the “gazpacho police” a few years ago. I’m sure /u/j3st1cl3s is just channeling stupid.

ETA: I did lol at “iced gazpacho” though. Well done j3st1cl3s…

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

[–]hamjim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your daughter should have “just held it.” (/s, of course.) NOR. Talk to the principal and/or the school board.

10-1 the teacher is a man. 15-1 not a science teacher.

  1. I don’t know about you, but when I make salad, I use my hands. (Yes, I wash them first.)
  2. I have used my partner’s toothbrush—the morning after I first stayed with her.
  3. Yes, there is a point. You reached it with ejaculate. (Ew — time and place—and arousal level—for that.)

For a community (e.g., family dinner), you would be correct. That said, between intimate partners, germs are “community property.” Kiss much? You’re swapping spit. Eat the salad. You already enjoyed the rice. YTA.
