Happy to explain this one as I have relatives from there. The only way to leave and get a visa abroad is to study elsewhere.

I witnessed this myself in the daughter of family friends whose eyes were dead and even though we met her, every second of her thoughts were dedicated to studying so she could GTFO as fast as humanly possible.

It's that, or stay in Iran. What would you choose?


I’m all for being careful about AI but mental illness is a thing, and people will unfortunately find ways to feed their delusions.

If it wasn’t AI it’d be qanon or twitter or something else. I think it’s easy to spin a narrative that makes AI the culprit.

oh god why make it so difficult to read the article. i know there's a button for simple text mode. i know this is purely for style.

but why? this is something written to be read, is it not? it's not some kind of presentation, right? why ignore that job so entirely. this was so tedious.


True. But if the shit gets real, you guys are the best in the world to deal with it. Plenty of Russians at the bottom of the lakes to attest that.
