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.

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

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

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.

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"

We have a semi regular customer at work who is a shitty parent with a shitty kid. We saw him grow up from a shitty toddler to shitty kid. Just a rude entitled piece of shit. Comes up to the kitchen a demandingly asks each time we start a pizza if its his. We dont know and also, shut up. Most kids who come up to watch rule, they're hyped to see us toss dough and mess with a crazy hot oven with fire. This kid just...sucks. Tonight he came up to the window and was about to put his grubby little child mitts on the food waiting to go out. He should be absolutely nowhere near there and thank fucking God one of the wait staff caught it the same time I did because this kid was about to hear it from a tired line cook. This kid is coming up and trying to violate health codes. Technically Im supposed to remake all of that stuff cause his hands were above the food. He was very firmly told to go back to his seat and to stay there. His mom didn't do shit cause she clearly sees us as babysitters. This is absolutely not acceptable and next time they come in they will be told their child has to stay seated unless accompanied by an adult and if they fuck around again they're banned. Owner was there tonight and agrees.
