I love Zoharn. I just wish New York wasn’t as stuck up as it is. I tried to go to a bar in jeans and a tshirt and they rejected me. Why? My money is good enough. Their cocktails were only $19 so it’s not a fancy place.
I much prefer Seattle for the culture vibes. But I miss the 24/7 transit.
AFAIK, a lot of Iranian-Americans go by “Persian” because there was already such a stigma associated with the name Iran.
Just wanted to add some clarity on the term Persian. Persian is an ethnicity, the majority ethnicity in Iran. So one could be Iranian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity), or Australian (citizenship) and Persian (ethnicity).
I think a lot of people use it instead of Iranian. Technically it might be an ethnicity. But, for example, I can find restaurants that advertise having Afghani food but no restaurants with Pashtun or Tajik food, restaurants with Syrian food but not Arabic or Kurdish restaurants, etc. But, while most restaurants go by the name of the country, not the ethnic group, there are no Iranian restaurants, only Persian ones.
@pete_link @Susan_calvin is there any way to talk #Zohran (@NYCMayor) into getting out of X and e.g. into Mastodon – or at least Bluesky+bridgy?
He needs to get off the fence, one side or the other.
Bro literally put both his feet on one side of the fence. Shut the fuck up
I will speak the truth whenever I please.
When do you plan to start?
“I say whatever i want to”
Anti intellectualism in a single sentence. Your ignorance isn’t truth. It’s your opinion and that’s it.
nah see maeve here is a single issue voter and mamdani hasn’t firmly addressed their single issue yet
Secret single issue that will not be mentioned
do yourself a favor and elaborate? because he clearly stated that he will protect Iranian new Yorkers who are at risk of hate crimes. exactly as the mayor should do.
what side of the fence you want?
Sure. But you need to find some first.
He did. He said this is stupid and no one wants this.
I’m saying this is one issue. It’s the largest current issue, but he needs to get with the whole program.
You need to actually explain your position and provide context because no one knows what you are talking about.
What’s he missing?
He’s failing my secret purity test. I can’t tell you what the purity test is, because it’s secret! If I told you what my purity test was, he might find out and pass it. But, if he passed it because someone told him what it was, that wouldn’t count. So, all I can tell you is that he failed it! Trust me bro!
You’re a godawful poster.
the fuck you talking about
on the fence? he has been attacking people who horde money through policy and rhetoric
he is clearly anti-elite
