Cool project, thanks for sharing. I will say that the example video did just seem like random samples from the video, I didn’t see the significance of those moments in particular. …

What a cool idea. I will consider using this going forward for family members. Thanks for making and sharing this. It does seem like it takes a certain amount of thoughtfulness and…

This is overly dramatic and not true. This exact situation occurred to me. I blocked all PRs with “request changes”. Most engineers don’t like AI slop, most take pride in their wor…

At a high income level, you should have more buffer for life’s events if you’ve made good decisions in your life. Generally speaking. For example, that mortgage, did you stretch th…

That’s actually pretty cool if they’re being taught to use the organizational tools of the phone. I’m strongly against phones in school, but as a child myself, I was extremely unor…

What is “hatred of women” about this? Is it incorrect to say that more women are into astrology than men? Is it then hatred to say that my wife is going to say something is due to …

Can you elaborate? That’s an interesting observation. What memes were you referring to?

Every Iranian I know is either a first generation immigrant to the US, or they live in Iran. All my in-laws live in Tehran. They’re all anti-regime.

I don’t personally know. But I don’t see why students who protested during the “woman, life, freedom” protest a couple years ago would be any less anti-regime now. If that’s what y…

Yes, we absolutely do! We should prioritize. We have to be pragmatic and choose our battles. We can’t be everywhere at once. Iran has destabilized the region for decades. It’s hard…

You have to be very suspect of “grassroots” supporters of the regime in these videos. Another thread compared it to the USSR. Or maybe North Korea. Opposition voices are not allowe…

Responding with this: https://youtu.be/8_AiSeYsDeA?si=xsZTGWxcVaVRbXCi Iranians responding with excitement and hope as we bomb the regime.

That’s fair! I would love to hear your thoughts as an Iranian. My only goal has been to surface conversations I’ve had with actual Iranians. I think that’s been missing from these …

I hear your point. I still think it’s valuable to hear Iranian voices during this conflict. I’m definitely not saying you have to follow through on what they say! But it’s valuable…

I’m just giving my personal experience as a data point. All my in-laws are in Tehran: aunts, uncles, cousins. Everybody is anti-regime. It’s hard for us to understand in the west. …

I’m just giving my personal experience as a comparison. I have not met a single Iranian expat who was in a privileged position. All the Iranian expats I know are in their 20s and 3…

I get what you’re saying, but if you’ve ever met someone who has grown up in an extremely religious environment, then you know what I mean. Inculcating into young girls (and boys t…

It won’t just resolve itself, unfortunately. The last 40+ years have proven that. A non-theocratic Iran is in the US interest. If you give the Iranians arms, I’m sure they would be…

I don’t think civilians are being bombed into misery. My in-laws live in Tehran. During the entire war, life goes on. The bakeries are open. They go about their life. My in-laws we…

I think that’s fair. You’re probably right that the diaspora is more anti-regime than people inside Iran. I will say that my in-laws live in Tehran, and last week a bomb blew up ne…

It was a great start. Iranians celebrated his death, which made me happy. I think one idea is that if you can kill enough regime leaders, perhaps a moderate leader may emerge? Or p…

I was responding to a comment about bombing bridges. I quoted an actual conversation i had with an Iranian where they said essentially “go ahead and bomb the bridges”. That got fla…

I understand what you’re saying, but I think you’re missing the point of my comment. People bring up the school as a way of discouraging American military bombing Iran. It’s a way …

Thanks for sharing perspectives from actual Iranians.
