Iranian Chill Thread

[ResurgentIran]

I have not played that game, I've heard alot about it. I've seen breakthroughs but I never had the time to actually play it.
Have you played it? How does it stack against TLOU

TLOU is much better. Uncharted is good but its like crappy fast food compared to TLOU (which is filet mignon). lol

You can't officially import anything to Iran, unless we're talking about Chinese or some other Asian companies. Western companies have zero presence in Iran, so everything is brought in by 3rd party investors, if we can call them that. It's actually a great source of income and business model for a lot of people. US and the EU sanction any company that deals with Iranian banks and does business in Iran. The big dogs such as Mercedes and Renault avoided scrutiny for a long time, but even they pulled out completely years ago. Mercedes even built a factory in Iran, but abandoned it under pressure (all cop cars in Iran are C class as a result of that factory btw lmao). Chinese companies don't care and some Asian companies use front companies and subsidiaries to do business in Iran so they don't get scrutinized.

And no, PS3 can be modded too.

I thought certain sectors were outside of it. It seems sanctions are even more strict than I anticipated. But at least they have figured out some workarounds which is nice. I mean if any electronic can take its place on shelves in 1-2 weeks after its release as Era says, I'm okay with that even though if it is more expensive than the global price.

I'll look into the Mercedes factory

-I didn't know sanctions are that strict....and all that sanction for enriching Uranium to use it for civil purpose, while Iran is abundant of oil and natural gas......
-Building SLVs while not producing satellites....

I would say Iran will end up like North Korea....but North Korea doesn't have bad blood with the Jews....while Jews are very influential in America.....

Mate, am i the only one who can see, how the things will end for Iran if it stays on the same path ????

 

[Serpentine]

Oh, nvm then

How old are you btw? You should be around 24-26 if I remember correctly?

I'm 24. I think I also asked your age before, but I can't remember that well, you should be 23-25, am I right?

Internet speeds are unbearable in Iran (govt does it on purpose) and not everyone has access to high speed. Also foreign companies don't do business in Iran so these consoles get brought in from outside. Almost everybody has a modded console which means they can't play multiplayer, even if internet speeds supported it (if you mod a console you can't connect to PS servers anymore). Plus, if you want to play multiplayer on an un-modded console (expensive), you need the real game which is also expensive for most people in Iran. My cousin just came from Iran and he has an un-modded PS3 and he buys original games (used) for around 30 dollars. That's a lot of cash for just a game in Iran and most people can't afford it.

Original games are a bit expensive, but it's wrong that all consoles are moded and nobody buys original ones. Just too many people prefer to stay with original games and have the online gaming. Just visit some rooms (groups) in Destiny,many of them full of Iranians, also gamer forums where mny people swap their original games, actually that's the way here. Instead of buying many games, people buy 3, 4 and exchange them after they play it.


And again, you are wrong about those Mercedes Benzes, they were all imported as it was equal to Iran's small share in Mercedes Benz which was bought in Shah's times, equivalent to 6000 Benzes that are being used now for the police.

Yes, E class was also assembled in Iran by Iran Khodro, but it has nothing to do with those police cars.

Things have gradually got worse and worse and worse over the years, but extremist religious folks like Haman who have only one goal in life (to live by their 1400 year old arab book) rarely care about the future or even logic.

And yeah, the UN Security Council sanctions are only concerned with the nuclear program and the military, but both the EU and the US have their own sanctions and it goes beyond simple pressure. Any company that deals with Iranian banks or does business with Iran will not be able to do business in the US or Europe. The Europeans have been more lax about it over the past decades, but for the past 10 years the noose around companies like Renault began getting tighter and tighter. They all pulled out a few years ago and now there aren't any foreign companies left at all, bar some random Chinese companies.

I thought certain sectors were outside of it. It seems sanctions are even more strict than I anticipated. But at least they have figured out some workarounds which is nice. I mean if any electronic can take its place on shelves in 1-2 weeks after its release as Era says, I'm okay with that even though if it is more expensive than the global price.

The EU and the US have their own set of sanctions and as I said to Sinan, they sanction any company that does business in Iran or deals with Iranian banks. So foreign companies never venture into Iran. In the past, European companies tested the limits from time to time, but in the past 5-10 years it became harder and harder for them to circumvent the sanctions.

I'm 24. I think I also asked your age before, but I can't remember that well, you should be 23-25, am I right?

I was partially wrong. It was E class not C class, but they still invested in Iran and left soon after and never looked back. The assembly line was built by Mercedes.

@Militant Atheist

When I was younger I was in your situations once or twice. I learned just get it over with. Let the girl know your interested and see what she says/acts.

This is the way I see it. If you ask her out,she will at worst say no...but she could say yes.Men are afraid of the idea of rejection. Fck it bro, be a man and do it.
If you don't ask her out, the odds are nothing will happen between you. Don't expect her to come ask you out. Women very rarely do that. Unless they're drunk.

I don't mean just randomly walk up to her and ask her out. First spend some time with her see if you feel any connection.
I wish you the best bro.

I wish I could give you some of my iron emotions Honestly, I now will never be infatuated /fall in love with anyone unless there is some serious chemistry between us.
I've been through too much to go down that road again. I will tell you from experience, women tend to want men whom don't get her the attention she seeks. All I can say to you is that I hope it works out for you if not, you will come out of it stronger.

Thanks for your reply bro. I fucked up, I saw her at the company's rest area today and I didn't even look at her, I ran away. I noticed she looked in my direction expecting me to say hi or something, but I didn't. **** my life! I'm barely the better version of Rejesh Koothrappali before he found the courage to talk to women

I have self-image issues, but I really shouldn't have, I'm not the best looking guy in the world, but I'm tall, I have a good facial symmetry, and a fit body, I make good money and have a great job at my age, but I still don't know what the **** is wrong with me? I keep sabotaging myself (relationship-wise), I have throughout all my life.

 

[IRAN 1802]

Thanks guys.


I don't like AKPeons, i will confort them whenever i can.


Beauty is important but not that important in marriage.

Make sure she is sane....that's the most


I wonder why my reply to this post got deleted....

Yes, behavior is the most important.

 

[haman10]

Bro, I will return to Iran inshallah. I don't plan on staying here, Trust me bro, engelis isn't all that.
As with your question. of course bro, Ask away, give the name of the drug and I willl tell you if they are available here or not. As for cephalosporins, here are some gen 3 available here: Cefotaxime,cefpodoxime,cefixime,ceftriaxone,ceftazidime
Do you have any specific ones in mind?

No thanks brother. That's all i wanted to know . I was worried that the shortage of certain drugs can cause problems here but apparently there is no need to have all of them in the country.

Bro, you gotta take a chance but this thing has to come slow and steady.
I wouldn't tell you to go right away and ask her out. You need some practice with approaching women and getting the right idea about what to say and when. If you are an introvert, then you have to slowly start appreciating public spaces. Maybe spend the next two months outing or something (by outing I mean to the movies, maybe hiking). Make small talk to let's say waitresses etc. so that the whole 'putting the hot women on a pedestal' idea is behind you. You can slowly become more talkative and understand nuances about what ticks women. They are humans just like us and most likely have more complexes than you.
Hardly any woman anywhere would do the approaching. You gotta slowly build up.
I'm hoping that you stay at this company for a while so that you have your swag mode on by the time you approach her for a definitive 'yes'.
You have the whole exotic thing going in your favor. Slow small talk with all kinds of people and telling yourself that there's nothing wrong with you not just to build confidence but truly have a better sense of self will do the trick.

I don't know why we have not yet set up a pharma industry capable of at the very least manufacturing all the medicines on WHO Essential Medicine List. It is really sad. It would take probably a few billion dollars of investment but will save billions each year in import costs as well as end the shortage forever.

Get the hold of this book by Dr. Albert Ellis: "A guide to rational living". It will help you to understand and think rationally about the problem you are facing (or most of any other emotional problem).

apparently thats not the case

iran has 97% self-sufficiency in drug production and 89% in manufacturing the basic material needed for drug production .

but apparently its a health min. policy not to introduce every single drug that is our there to the market .

i asked a couple of professors in my university and they told me that iran is capable of producing/importing them but for various reasons (one of them being antibiotic resistance for example) they don't intend to ....

just a couple of weeks ago we had a very big scare at Taleghani hospital of kermanshah when an extremely resistant souche of acinetobacter was found . the 2 patients where isolated and one of these un-common anti-biotics was taken from tehran and it worked .

P.S have you ever thought how many french phrases do we use here in iran ?

Souche , Touche R , ....

The problems for Afghan refugees in Iran are so widespread that simple gestures like this are useless (let's face it, it's just for making yourselves feel better).

Right now kids born to Afghan refugees can't become Iranian citizens. That must change. A lot of these kids have never stepped foot inside Afghanistan, but they're being deported after having lived in Iran for decades. Afghans are also banned in many parks and completely banned from 9 provinces. Every year during "sizdah be dar" Isfahan bans Afghans from its parks (I mention Isfahan because I spent a lot of time there when I was in Iran). Other provinces do the same and cite the high amount of crime committed by Afghan refugees. People also treat them like garbage, we all know that. An Afghan could be born in Iran and live in Iran all his/her life, but people still look at him and talk to him as an "afghani." He could get deported in a blink of an eye.

btw, most people don't know this, but Afghan refugees have to pay for all primary level education, while Iranian citizens do not. This puts excessive burden on families that can't even pay for food. So a lot of the time their kids remain uneducated or they end up having to live in ghettos so they can send their kids to school.

Iran either needs to kick everybody out COMPLETELY and NEVER allow a single refugee in, or treat them like human beings. We speak one language and for those of you that care about religion, they also follow your exact sect. Yet, they are treated like absolute garbage.

Simple videos do nothing to heal these wounds. As I said, every single Afghan child born in Iran must be given citizenship. They must be allowed to go to school for free like every other child. Their parents must be educated so they can get jobs and stand on their feet. If these steps aren't taken, then why accept them in? Deport 100% of refugees immediately instead of dancing around the bush. Either do it correctly or don't do it at all. I understand that it's their choice to come to Iran, but just b/c they make this choice it doesn't mean Iran should act like a savage 3rd world country in dealing with them.

Nemidonam. Vali ontori keh man etela daram, 99% API varedati hastan. Beh har hal. Antibiotic resistance can not be managed by a single country banning itself out of the use of antimicrobials. It is a global problem and most resistant strains (souche ) actually come from developed countries or from India. That is a lame excuse. Iran should be an exporter of medicine not an importing nation. Specially since Iran is under sanctions and need not to respect intellectual rights for these medicines. Produce medicines in bulk and export them to Africa, South America and Asia. The market is huge. Every one in the world can not afford Sanofi and Novartis. Some would happily love to be saved by generic equivalent of new medicines made in Iran. Specially if they are to die anyways as they can not pay for ridiculously expensive Western equivalents.

PS. That is because of history. Iran always viewed British as a manipulative state, and when during the Qajar and early Pahlavi era the decision was made to send people for modern education abroad, France and Germany were favored over England. This introduced many terminologies from Mobl to Aparteman to Maamaan to Nini, into Farsi language since Iranian Farsi scholars could not produce equivalents for them fast enough. Later in Pahlavi era, the focus shifted more towards US. And in early IR time, Britain was brought in the fold, with many agha-zadeha preferring Britain. Then from mid 90's, with explosion of internet, things changed for the whole world as even in France and Germany people started to accept English as the official and supreme language of internet. There was no use to battle it anymore. English proved to have defeated all other languages since all science and technology was coming from or through it.

Iran is learning. It will take time. Long time. You should read about how the Sikh or Chinese refugees and immigrants were treated in North America. Nations take a long time to learn and develop cultural tools for the problems they are facing. Iranians have been slow compared to West. But they have been better than say, Afghans themselves.
