the Iranian military attacked a crowd of protesters, killing ~88 and injuring between 205-8,000. The violence increased the unrest, leading to a general strike and the Shah fleeing the country in January 1979.

The massacre, known as Black Friday, began when thousands of protesters gathered in Tehran's Jaleh Square for a religious demonstration, unaware that the government had declared martial law a day earlier due to widespread political unrest.

Some sources estimate that 4,000 people were shot down by tanks, guns, and military helicopters. The deaths were described as the pivotal event in the Iranian Revolution that ended any "hope for compromise" between the protest movement and regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

The massacre led to widespread protests, and a general strike in October shut down the petroleum industry that was essential to the administration's survival. The Shah fled Iran in January 1979, clearing the way for the Iranian Revolution, led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Welcome to in-office work, we have

  • someone taking a loud call on their speaker for some reason
  • those two guys whose job you don’t understand who just walk around interrupting people with small talk

I might be too conspiracy brained, but I'm pretty sure the YouTube thing with adding an "AI looking filter" to random videos is about tricking viewers into not noticing when a video is AI generated, or conditioning us into thinking "this is just what videos of real people look like"

My romance languages professor just generated a paragraph of film analysis in spanish using Deepseek no-no-no-wait-wait-wait

Just so we can make fun of how bad it is. doggirl-thumbsup

It's horrendously poorly written that compares to a high school Spanish student. Overuse of gerunds just like in english text (+ gerunds after prepositions instead of infinitive which is a straight up error), setting up subjunctive clauses but never actually conjugating the subjunctive. Terrible lexicon that sounds like someone fed it through google translate from English, overuse of "pero" and no use of other transitional phrases. No use of perfect tenses in complex sentences, instead erroneously using the preterite in literary analysis. Surface level analysis of subject matter (A is B, but C makes it like D repeated 10 times)

Actually let me not insult high school students, they could do better in broken spanglish than what deepseek could do, I hope this AI theranos machine crashes and burns to the ground. This isn't castellano it's americano-blancano.

sorry i am late. quick update on my life:

same thing. i still have the job. i was insulted for working slow when i am waiting for them to help me. and if i try to do things on my own i fear breaking everything. also the systems slow down to hell and back and if i try to get calls i only get shouted at i hate my life i wish all this never happened

the first month was nice, people took turns to do calls and emails. every morning we talked. was nice. until production came along

i hate my life i wish all this never happened

when will i get paid

edit: i am looking for new jobs as we speak. i hope i can also move out so that my family won't bother me ever again and i can get therapy and fix myself to become the betterest person than the person y'all know me as.

attempted to find python junior dev (but i'd need to relearn python lol, big rusty), romanian to english translation and the most probable of all: linux sysadmin. my friends think i am a linux wizard or something, and that job could be fine i guess

Rednote really has won me over at this point. I reported some Zionist shithead who said something along the lines of "hell yeah, kill them all!" and within a few minutes I got an auto-response that confirmed that they removed that shit. The bare minimum of moderation and I'm fully sold

My semi-retired liberal mom asked me how I learned about Nepal's government collapse so quickly and I mentioned Hexbear and Xiahongshu. She said she'd check it out, so that was probably a mistake.

Huh, apparently there's some twitter groypers that think China is committing genocide against the Uighur's, and that it's a good thing because most Uighur's are brown/muslim.

I just got a text message from work asking me to pick between taking the day off or coming in for 'no more than 4 hours.' So today will be my 3rd shift IN A ROW sitting at home

Or they could hate me and be trying to do active dismissal on me.
