You go ladies! Can you imagine not being able to go to a soccer game just because you’re female?

There are lots of things you can't do in Iran if you are female :-(

Small victory in the overall scheme of things, but the ban on woman attending male matches was removed a couple of years ago. You can find more information about these specific women here if anyone wants to read more; https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43964178

My Iranian American hair cutter asked me one day if I remembered the Shah. I said yes (of course, I'm 104 years old). I read an article in Time magazine. There were photos of everyday Iranian women in mini skirts and I said they sure have some good-looking women and then overnight WHAM! The poor people just want to make it through life and you make the women hide their faces?

Imagine banning men from public spaces because just having them in the vicinity of women would make them (the men) out of control, hysterical, s ex crazed lunatics.. oh, and also, they would taint the air the women breathe making them dirty in the eyes of some psychotic god. - And if you think that statement is insane and utter nonsense, I hate to tell you this buuuuut.....

I didn’t want to jump on the USA bandwagon, but then I saw others had so here goes. Not only have women lost bodily autonomy in the form of abortion rights, but access to gynecological care in the cases of unviable pregnancy or miscarriage - to the risk of their health and lives, but now some states are talking of restricting pregnant woman from leaving the state (in case they go to a state where abortion is easier to obtain). So yes I can imagine it, because it had to start somewhere and then eventually erode into something like this.

You GO GIRLS!! I can't believe this kind of oppression still exists. Most of the things we take for granted on a daily basis will get a woman killed or imprisoned right across the world from us. It's sick and disturbing when you imagine the repercussions these women could face and the lengths they had to go just to go to a sporting event.

Despite the educational value interesting facts promise to deliver us, it’s important to remember to double-check them and the sources they are coming from. This is because fake news spreads six times faster on social media than real facts. By trying to generate as many clicks as possible or even influence political views, it can be particularly dangerous.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Daniel Markuson, the cybersecurity expert at NordVPN, said that although there’s no foolproof method to separate truth from fiction, the best thing to be safe is to check the source’s credibility. “This particularly applies to social media platforms because they are optimized to increase engagement and lack appropriate gatekeeping features that filter out misinformation.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Daniel argues that it’s vital to weigh the claims against other sources. “If a publication makes monumental claims that are exclusive to that platform, do not take them at face value."

It’s important to be aware that unreliable news sources sometimes impersonate well-known ones by misspelling their names in the URL.

“Similarly, they might use unconventional domain extensions instead of the usual “.com” or “.org.” In general, make sure that your news comes from established, well-known sources. These types of outlets get information directly from primary sources and must uphold their reputation,” Daniel told us a while ago.

If you’re still not sure whether the source is credible, you may want to look into the author and research them in order to be sure their credibility is up to par.

This, of course, requires extra effort rather than mindlessly devouring information online, but “it is also important to weigh our own perception and not let our biases skew our understanding of events.” Daniel’s advice was to seek out differing opinions and try not to associate facts with ideological dogma.

When asked about the reasons why fake news has become so widespread, the cybersecurity expert said that it’s “due to factors that concern both the content of the messages and the technological foundation of platforms on which the news is proliferated.”

ADVERTISEMENT

Moreover, fake news not only typically involves current affairs but also often makes remarkable and emotion-inducing claims. “This, combined with the fact that social media platforms collect data on what kind of posts users spend the most time on and feed them content with similar characteristics, provides the perfect conditions for the spread of misinformation,” Daniel concluded.

And that's a big part of why some homeless people in the US refuse to go to shelters; their pets will go into overcrowded city and county shelters. For others, the problem is that their kids will be taken. If we're gonna tackle this problem, we have got to start seeing homeless people as PEOPLE, not just trash to be cleaned up.

nope, not an odd chemical reaction. it's basically a diy skylight. in many villages where electricity is scarce, it can be pretty dark in some corners of homes and huts even during the day. so a diy skylight could help solve that problem. you drill/cut a hole the size of a coke bottle, fill it with water, a bit of bleach to keep the water from getting gross (and thus less transparent), and use a construction adhesive to secure the bottle and keep out rain. groups like "liter of light" [https://literoflight.org/] have helped pioneer this method around the world. they also get solar powered lights into the hands of those in need.

I remember remember this, mo was driving out of the training facility when the boys saw him and were chasing him. The kid hit the pole and mo turned his car around. This dude is awesome, helped his country during covid. Helped the thief that robbed his house find a job. He such a nice guy people wanted him to be president.
