Been there

That guy is weird as hell lmao

Yeah it’s not Afghanistan but in Iran it’s subject to a lot of interpretation on the part of the police and if they want to harass you they can take you in for the tiniest slip of your head covering. It’s still horrible even if not as draconian.

Fair enough. One of my close friends is Iranian but lives in the US now and she spent a couple days in prison for not covering her hair properly so I guess I’m sensitive about it. My bad

They do detain, torture, and kill women who do not cover their hair completely and dress “modestly.” This is well-established fact.

The difference between you and me is that I’m talking about the oppression of women because I care and because it matters, and you are using it as a political talking point.

AOC please. I don’t even agree with her on every single thing but she’s whip-smart and constantly pushing and principled

A woman singer Parastoo Ahmadi was just sentenced to 74 lashes for singing without hijab.

You guys act like this is a game and I’m so tired of it. I’m a woman. A woman is going to be publicly brutalized for singing in public without religious garb. It’s incredibly messed up that you guys can do whatever you want and hide behind Islamophobia.

Do you actually think that womens’ rights in Iran are upheld as they should be?

Thank you <3 I feel for the people who don’t have time to waste on insurance denials who just have to eat the cost. Luckily I have time right now and I’m willing but it still blows.

I think something around 1% of denials in the US are appealed and then over 40% are overturned, but don’t quote me on those numbers. I’m remembering this from a video of a congressional hearing. Only 1% of people have that time…dystopian

I have had to argue with my insurance company, UHC, for a hospitalization that was 100% warranted. They kept me for 5 days and the docs tried to persuade me to stay for another but I was going stir crazy at that point because I felt better. I was dangerously sick and dehydrated when I went in with uncontrollable nausea and diarrhea and my heart rate at rest was 140, I was in agonizing pain, and I couldn’t walk. I had infusions running that entire time. How are they gonna tell me my hospitalization was unnecessary because some nursing notes said I was laying in bed comfortably? Yeah, because I was on oxycodone and getting better, dipshits.

I know I can win this argument but it’s going to require a ton of phone tag and talking to people who don’t know shit and escalating and that’ll easily be half of my Monday. So much productivity going to bullshit jobs that only exist to justify themselves.

I just had this conversation with my therapist where I said I don’t think that I’m necessarily depressed, but am being acted upon by the men who move only in dimly lit halls and determine my future for me, and I feel distant from others, and don’t do enough fun things. And she was like, yeah, probably.

They think it’s their friend and will defend it to the death

No rush but feel free to practice your English with me whenever! Good luck with your studies

I don’t believe that it was written by a human, but regardless, it’s a shitty way to speak

Haha please do, it’s gorgeous, I’m just being a grinch

Sure why not

I’m in the PNW but I’m contractually obligated to say it’s shit so people don’t keep moving here.

You did make an argument. Idk how that isn’t evident to you. You’re being well ackshually rn.

It’s not even hard to plan a date. It’s pride month and the world cup and nice outside, the possibilities abound
