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.

The fucking generator in our car has given up on life and even though our mechanic charges is really good prices it still cost an arm and a leg to replace it.

Cars suck so much. Just give me transit that actually works.

Joined a jobs discord from /r/jobs and holy fucking shit these are some deeply incurious and frankly, useless people

I comment on how the internet seems dead for job prospects and the express how concerned I am that the internet has managed to capture our lives to this extent, but all I’m getting is β€œThis isn’t new, technologies change. Adapt and move on.”

It’s like, did you read anything that I posted? It will take a Godamn miracle for me to interact with human being with how there are no guardrails whatsoever when it comes to internet pollution.

Well. They are redditors.

how much do y'all think a "vegan chef" should be paid "in the south" (u.s.)

by "chef" i mean it's technically my job title and I cook like 3 dishes to feed the 70-80ish people who eat vegan stuff at this school and frequently make extra stuff when I have time and despite it not being my explicit responsibility (my predecessor was like 'i'm not paid enough for that' and didn't) I work with the sous chef to figure out the side items on the menu + frequently ad-lib/change them (for the better) (so even though I am like 70% imposter syndrome here I still feel like I'm 30% cheffing it)

I KNOW I'm underpaid I just want y'all to give me a number

Reading these lists of people who signed these Zionist open letters can be so heartbreaking.

Same as all those who signed the Polanski one I guess. Honestly not nearly as bad mostly the list I posted has shit actors etc there's just a few good ones.

But yeah I guess now I'm going to respond "oh you mean Jordan Peele the Zionist??" when he's brought up. Unlimited genocide on the first world hamas-red-triangle qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

I'm not sure if Judge Judy Scheindlin is alphabetized under Judge or Judy. It could go either way.

the enshittification of nexus mods has begun, they got bought by new owners and after a while of not changing anything they've replaced the download ui and free downloads are noticibly slower

[–] IceWallowCum@hexbear.net 13 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

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"

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 1 points 6 hours ago

rust-darkness shit probably

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I might be too corporate job brained, but most changes like that I just assume it’s because someone’s performance review was coming so they asked the team they’re leading to do some random thing they just thought up.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

I think a nontrivial part of enshitification isn’t even profit driven, it’s middle managers trashing around fighting for cost of living raises.

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.
