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. But it was still mildly entertaining to watch.

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 planning to remember to upload these keepsakes that I’m not 100% sure I have. I feel like I’d forget to do it without some kind of reminder.

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 work.

The occasional AI slop engineer can be contained by rejecting their PRs, having team discussions around norms, bringing up feedback on retros, etc.

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 the very limit of your income or did you buy something reasonable?

Nobody forced you to buy a house, you could also rent or commute longer.

I lived in a crappy rental for five years and commuted and was able to fully pay off my student loans at the beginning of my career. As an example

Education debt can be put on forbearance or deferment under many life circumstances.

Given high income level, you also have many options available to you like personal loans.

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 unorganized. And did not get my act together fully until college, when I had a simple laptop with a calendar app where I could plan out all my classes, assignments, etc.

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 astrology, and I will nod and say “sure dear” lovingly but know that it has absolutely nothing to do with astrology?

Likewise, women are probably more into supplements and holistic medicine than men, and there’s nothing “hatred of women” to observe that.

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 you’re asking.

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 to imagine how game changing it would be to remove that.

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 allowed. Protesters are hanged.

When the regime tells you to go to the bridge for a marketing stunt, you go.

I’m absolutely not saying that I believe they should be bombed!

I’m just trying to share the perspective of actual Iranians. To you, my wife wants to bomb civilians. To my wife, these are just marketing stunts that are fully orchestrated by 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 Internet conversations, and I think it’s really helpful that people know what actual Iranians think.

Otherwise, you fall into the funny situation like what happened with Maduro, where Internet commentators were upset, while ordinary Venezuelans (and expats) were celebrating.

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 to see where people are emotionally. Because when I asked my wife and she essentially said “bomb the regime supporters” it says a lot about where anti-regime Iranians are emotionally.

It also helps people understand why anti-regime Iranians have been pro Trump during this conflict.

Keep in mind that my wife is from Tehran, and has a huge network of family in Tehran. This isn’t some abstract thing to her. And it’s consistent with the other expats I know who want continued pressure on the regime.
