I don’t want the device I own to enforce laws that I don’t get a say on.
Is it my device or am I renting it?
Should all cars have breathalyzers installed by default?

It’s pretty apparent you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I’m not going to waste any more time.
Try reading stuff from sources other that what you are, it’s not serving you well.


We don’t disagree. You are factually wrong. I’m not saying that it isn’t an authoritarian state. It absolutely is.but the simple fact of the matter is that the Ayatollah isn’t involved most decisions. His power mostly came into play with selecting who could run in their elections, which absolutely are real with the opposing sides running having significant political differences.
Did he get to set the goal posts for their parties? Yes, absolutely, and that isn’t a full on true democracy. But the Iranian civilians have far far more say in their government than a civilian Russian, for example.
Moreover, you’re debating all of this shit in ignorance to move the topic away from the fact the Iran didn’t have nukes SOLELY because the leader was religiously opposed to them. The religious leader the US and Israeli’s killed. While proving that they are unreliable negotiators.
The only rational view at this point for the average Iranian is to demand nukes.


No, you’re not.
You’re arguing by title to ignore the points made like a sophist. That is explicitly rude, while trying to pretend it isn’t.
Bad faith responses deserve nothing other than the reflection of the rudeness they project.


Stop ignoring everything else I wrote you fucking propaganda poisoned jackass.


Isn’t the president the executive branch?
Jesus Christ, do you have any critical thinking skills?


Seeing rumors that he is. The hypersonic missile wave was targetting a bunker he was believed to be in.
Still just rumors though.
EDIT: sadly, he is alive.


Because Iran wasn’t a dictatorship.
It had factions.
You know how Iran was always months away from nukes? It was. That was the hard liner faction who believed that only nukes would ensure Iran’s safety wanting to be able to quickly have one if the fatwa was removed.
Did you not know this? If not, you should stop watching/reading the new sources that didn’t tell you this widely available information. They’re not new sources but propaganda sources.


One of my tests as I’ve grown older is whether or not that person is capable of treating someone else’s children as their own.
Both my father and step father did, so I didn’t realize how rare of an attribute this is, nor did I realize how evil not having this attribute can make some seemingly good people behave.


In this thread: people mistaking NRE for “true love”
Love is as much a time based thing as it is work/romance/sex/chemical.
It involves seeing the other person at their weakest and being there to help them, and vice versa. It involves seeing them mistreat you, but you know why because you know them and their triggers and forgiving them. (That last bit can be confused with forgiving abusers, which is not the same. If someone physically hurts you, it isn’t love, and contrition is a required step.)
It involves giving them freedom to make mistakes and hurting themselves and being there to help them up.
It is so much more that delineating it down to ’ I must love them cause I’m not sexually attracted to anyone else right now’ is a cheap and sad way of describing love.
The database schema that sets each room as the atomic unit. That ends up creating a very convoluted database structure prone to corruption.
Too bad about the insane schema.


Don’t use namecheap.
Super happy with PorkBun


Delta chat is what I moved to from XMPP after NPM-7.


He was deleting any mention of the Sde Teiman rape camp when the video of one rape came out.
He actively removed any comments sharing any knowledge of the crimes Israel committed came out in the news community.
It’s not the view. It’s the power that he has to enact that view that is the bad thing.

I can’t believe this genocide supporter is still a mod there.
Namecheap will remove your domain if you have anti-zionist content after the recently appointed CEO compared Palestinian journalists to ISIS.
