How are they occupiers when they’re at least as Iranian as you? Are they occupying themselves? And where is this 1,500 number coming from? Because it doesn’t seem to be coming from Wikipedia. The Western imperialist puppet regime installed after the CIA-led coup was no angel, either. Do want a repeat of that? Because they’ll come in and 1) take the oil and 2) set Iran up for a proxy war with Russia and/or China, just as they did with Ukraine.
Don’t be fooled by their seeming friendliness: they’re just trying to fatten us up.
I mean we can generally agree that China is worse.
We cannot agree, “comrade.”
They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.
My visa application got rejected for posting a watermelon emoji on Myspace in nineteen dickety two.
Some eat up pro-AI drivel, some others anti-AI drivel. Tech bubbles are a wild ride. At least it’s not a bullshit bubble like crypto or web3/nft/metaverse.
It’s as if some people will believe any grammatically & semantically intelligible text put in front of their faces.
🙄, but I’ll only address:
the US justification for using nukes in Japan was that forcing a surrender via attack against civilian targets prevented a years-long slog and invasion.
That was the US’s public-facing narrative, not its actual justifications. Japan was already ready to surrender at that point, but the US was worried that Japan might surrender to the USSR instead, and the US wanted an unconditional surrender, not one with conditions. It also wanted to scare the living shit out of the USSR, to discourage it from further spreading its influence. And it wanted to test the bomb on a city that had been left intentionally undamaged during the war, namely Hiroshima, for its own nuclear weapons research & development.
But for you to say Iran isn’t authoritarian is ignorant of the facts.
We are not ignorant of the facts, but you are ignorant of your carrying water for Western imperialism. Which is understandable thanks to a lifetime of propaganda, but it’s never too late to stop.
It’s amazing how Russiagate malarkey and the Ukraine war has people thinking Putin is some cartoon evil mastermind. There is no greater “max evil potential” in the world than the US empire itself, of which Palantir & Clearview are constituent parts.
For keeping cookies in bento boxes:
No way that’s happening short of an imminent, credible threat of socialist revolution.

Virtually all of crypto is a scam as far as I’m concerned, but Privacy Guides seems to endorse RetoSwap: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/cryptocurrency/#buying-monero
OP, you’ve made this into your personality? 🙄
There are a few others, like 12ft.io, but archive.today is the best.
Bypass Paywalls Clean is the best browser extension. The repo is hosted in Russia now, because the copyright cops keep hounding them.
The extension was originally released on GitLab before it was removed in April 2024, when a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice was filed against its source code repository. Subsequently, magnolia1234 migrated Bypass Paywalls Clean to GitHub, where it was targeted by another DMCA takedown notice submitted by the News Media Alliance, resulting in GitHub restricting downloads of the software and its 3,879 forks in August 2024.
It has not changed. The only reason I use Archive.today is to share soft paywall bypass links.
Should we have forced him to shave before photographing him, like the US military did in Iraq in 2006?
Or should we clean up his image, as the US is doing right now?
