I remember reading that women in Iran could get away with wearing the veil in a way that partly reveal their hair. I don’t know if this has changed with the recent events. All the stories of persecution I’ve read seemed to be about women who had their hair completely free.

But in any case, this is beyond the point I’ve made. Even if women in Iran have to completly cover their hair, it’s not a full body cover like we see in Afghanistan.

I think that’s an encouragement for the aforementioned “others”.

they behead people for not being their faith

What are you referring to? Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians have official representation in the state.

women not covering their entire bodies

I haven’t heard of this practice in Iran, even less of the government forcing it on women, and clearly not beheading them for it.

You’re right, maybe my warning is for nothing.

Maybe in a small swimming pool exposed to the sun, or even a kids inflatable pool even in shade after a while?

Mettez de l’eau sur vous.

The other sentence is perfect.

To anyone reading, if you find yourself in this situation: water above 37 degrees will make things worse. You’re better off outside. Put water on your skin, not the other way around. Put yourself in front of a ventilator for maximum effect. It’s water evaporating from your skin that will cool you.

I hadn’t read or watched it yet I knew the reference. It was bigger than the source material. It helped popularize it.

I was born in the 90s and 42 was a meme number for me. But I was aware it was part of nerd culture. Definitely not something known by most.

Well, to your defence, there are no English lions, yet they’re prominently present in symbols of English culture.

If you believe plants experience suffering, and would like to reduce suffering, you should go vegan. The reason is that by eating meat, you kill or harm way more plants — the plants that have been eaten by the animals you eat.

Hadn’t thought of that.

Kinda surprised to see there are countries (Turkey and Pakistan) that hold a more unfavorable view of Israel than Palestine (or part of it — West Bank).

Very surprised to see that Germany has a that unfavorable view of Israel. I thought they were way more favorable based on the news I was seeing about it.

At what time? I didn’t see the knife.

Sometimes the real journalism is found in the comments.

Gaza will be demoted from besieged city to walled ghetto.
