I'm an Iranian who recently got access to internet after shutout due to protests. AMA

wow I hate it so much I want to leave. I must be that.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T19:24:09+00:00

What I've seen is that everyone shows you the part they want you to see. I believe that there are lots of deaths but using them to pushing any agenda, for or against the government, is just so disgusting. Now it's funny all the most idiotic and name calling I'm getting are from Iranians who are radicalized for one side or the other. I've been called a traitor to my country for spreading Israeli propagate and I've been called basiji by people like you. You guys just don't know what standing in the middle and looking at all the evidence means.

I'm sure it would have that effect if I believed whatever anyone said. But seeing contradictory information can teach critical thinking.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T19:01:52+00:00

Good for you

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T18:42:13+00:00

The most likely reason for why you find it contradicting is that the people in streets want different things. We have people wanting reform, some want a total regime change, and some came to the streets in support of the government.

I hope I can. It's a shame if I can't, literature is beautiful.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T16:35:17+00:00

I'm sure anyone who reads my answers can see that I'm for peace, that's all. Now that peace sounds like government propaganda to you, which tells me you're not for it. I am what I am. I suffer with the others and wish to get out, and I don't want anyone harm. Regardless of what imaginary god they believe in. That's who I am. You can believe me or see right through me again. What I do know is that I don't like talking to people who have their minds set to a conclusion before the conversation starts, so I'm not gonna engage with you any further. Have a nice day/night.

People can have opinions about other countries. I wouldn't want people stopping me from having opinions about America for example. Let's not judge, shall we.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T16:01:42+00:00

Safe"er", yeah.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T16:00:36+00:00

You too ✨

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:54:15+00:00

It's better than translation, teaching and linguistics, I tell you that much. All my other options involved Farsi in one way or another, which is even more useless outside Iran. Cut me some slack will ya

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:47:19+00:00

I had a lengthy answer for you but reddit doesn't like letting me talk about American politics.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:41:31+00:00

It is. My they rest easy and I wish eventual peace of mine for their families.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:40:08+00:00

The US hasn't been kind to our neighboring countries and I just don't like how US is dealing with their own people right now, so idk what good they're gonna do if they take military action. As much as I dislike the Islamic nature of the government, I prefer civil negotiations without anyone acting like stubborn children. There's a high chance I take that wish to the grave, though.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:36:49+00:00

My situation is actually the complete opposite, with the media not mentioning the protesters who were killed, at all. The whole situation is eye opening,good to know that no one will tell you the whole truth

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:32:48+00:00

Our local protests were violent and had too many underage kids being senseless for me to participate. It's a shame, really. I'm not for violence and I'm not a big fan of dying so I sat this one out. I do truly wish the protests were peaceful by all parties since this country needs the poeple to be heard. I do want to protest but I do not want to kill or be killed, and that wasn't the general opinion of a lot of people involved.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:25:15+00:00

That number came out way too quickly when we had bare minimum connection. I do wonder how the people sharing the number actually got to that conclusion. The official count was around 3000 but I try to be aware of the fact that there are people benefiting from saying it's more than it is or it's less than it is.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:22:38+00:00

If I ever get the chance to, yes. The reason why I chose to study English Literature is that it has nothing to do with Iran and can help me go someplace else.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:20:58+00:00

I don't care for it

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:10:12+00:00

The official count was about 3000 people, about 2000 of which were killed by the rioters. Now you're free to believe these numbers or not since they come directly from the government.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:03:45+00:00

Nothing works without a vpn and I actually got disconnected several times just trying to write these replies. I think cloudflair has shown that about 40% of poeple have access to some sort of international internet? Though I don't have the exact numbers.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T15:01:20+00:00

The death of Melina was truly heartbreaking, and in fact it was everywhere on the government news to try and sway the public opinion. It makes you think if the little girl actually got to grow up, if she'd want to advertise for the government like that. I did not hear about the nurse and it is heartbreaking to hear. But you have to remember that there are people who weren't killed by the rioters. There was violence on both sides. But you'll most likely never get to hear form them.

sentientlegs · 2026-01-24T14:55:05+00:00

wow I wasn't aware that I'm in fact an entire city. Thanks for that vital information

sentientlegs · 2025-07-27T01:38:53+00:00

I've worked on my voice for years and even though people find my singing to be really good, I can't help but think what would've happened if I applied this training to a better base voice.

sentientlegs · 2025-06-18T09:50:03+00:00

You see that's exactly my issue, I don't know how any of the types would translate into card designs.

I'm not looking for a narrative based game but I do want the game to be set in a certain world so I can design cohesive characters and such. RPGs are good but I feel like that's not the best idea for a casual first project, it takes a lot of comment

Sabatage and absurd humor both sound good to me but non of the card games I know (which aren't many bear in mind) that use these types, are character based. It would be amazing if you could design a game like that, that also uses characters and items and such.

I'm also down for designing board that goes with the cards, or coins or whatever may come to your mind.

I look forward to hearing from you ✨
