That looks amazaang

@shakur
I LOVE KURDISTAN

@shakur Interesting stance, but w/e. Supas for sharing the pretty pictures

Same here

@screamingwtf
where are you?

@amirbig a village in Kosovo

I'll join in
(in a park somewhere in PA, US)

@RememberMe oh, so that's YOU! And I was wondering who could be that shade wandering in my back yard... :)

@netikras *creeps just barely out of sight and holds still, waiting for the opportune moment*

@giacometti what's Supas? 🤔

@NoMad hope I spelled it right, it’s how I learned “thank you” in Kurdish

@giacometti I wouldn't know. Just thought I could learn that from you. 😁

@NoMad I learned it from my pharmacist of all people 😊 Lovely guy, makes me wish I had a reason to visit more often (ok ok ok but you know what I mean)

@Shakur Salamaulaikum bro

I hope covid had same days off too ;)

holy smokes, it's beautiful!

thats iran?

@Wisecrack yes, that's Iran.

@beleg I always thought it was desert. The media lied to me this whole time.

Next you'll tell me egyptions dont live in pyramids!

@Wisecrack lol

Iran is a vast country. There are deserts, mountains, woods, fields, meadows, lakes... It's not just a single biome.

@Wisecrack Iran also has two big deserts tho, ecosystems of which the govt is fucking up just like everything else. (also just like China is doing with Taklamakan)

Big sad.

Man, I mean, who needs media anymore

@beleg I mean, you guys literally are making the Iranian cheetahs and Persian leopards go extinct by hunting them and making their lives miserable. So yeah, environmentalists are watching while you are doing the thing that is not watching the media. :P

@beleg Sorry, I go a bit off the rails when it comes to animals just vanishing because of people. Like... we are the virus of this planet.

@NoMad Sorry, are you talking to me? Guess you might have mistaken me cuz I haven't hunted anything after the Beleriand fell. :)

@beleg Tolkien would be proud ;P

@NoMad But seriously, afaik it's not and never been legal to 'hunt cheetahs' in Iran at least from some 60 years ago by any circumstances, and also I never heard someone has done this anyway.

@beleg I have tho! The news comes out every once in a while, much less than the time required for them poor beings to reproduce. Also, I have an iranian friend who is an environmentalist, so yeah I get the news firsthand. ;)

@NoMad I'd be glad to take advantage of your knowledge then, maybe I could take actual first-hand actions.

@beleg nah man, the rest of us are trying to get your govt to stop shooting thousands of people at once and hanging the athletes, so for now maybe just try to not get killed. lol.

@NoMad Ok, let's break it down. You said X. I said not-X. You said I have evidence for X. I said I'd be glad to see. Simple as that.

@beleg http://www.wildlife.ir/en/

There. go do your thing. Don't say I didn't warn you. :)

@beleg Also, if you can save kurdistan, there:

you can follow the movements, and maybe stop them from dying?

also, the iraqi environmentalists and wild-life enthusiasts have been supprotng persian leopards:

@NoMad Thanks, but, still far from anything new to me. I was hoping more for the news that "come out every once in a while" of hunting cheetahs. But anyway I appreciate your concerns.

BTW Mehr News is a pro-government news agency. Thought you might want to reconsider your google hits. ;-)

@beleg it may be pro, but it's the only source of following these precious animals. And I'm not against Iran, or its govt, I'm against the backwards and inhumane policies.

@NoMad oh that! yeah some of us in the west weaponize environmentalists with news and/or propaganda.

currently doing it with sharks and the shark cull for vaccines. not because im an antivaxx weirdo, but because I love sharks and environmentalists can always be relied on to be reactive.

@beleg thanks for responses

@amirbig

کارمون به جایی کشیده که باید به طرف التماس کنیم تو رو خدا نمی خواهیم نجاتمون بدی سر جدت.

فقط سر نقض حقوق پلنگ هنوز تحریم نشدیم که اونم تو راهه ظاهرا.

@beleg
خخخخخ
آره. نظراتت رو خوندم. یارو بیخیال نمیشه

@amirbig nope. she really doesn't :P

(translation bots have advanced! Who knew!)

@NoMad or you could've just asked.

@beleg and that'd stop you from acting two-faced? Lol. I don't think so.

@beleg anywho, I lost interest. Specially after finding out through a friend that the OP went to Gillan while they were having a covid crisis, and were asking people to not go there.

So, I'm out. This thread has nothing further for me. Peace out.✌️

You know the difference between when you are the one being addressed and when you are not, right?

When I'm talking to you, specifically, there's one of these @NoMad in my post. (Like if I want to inform you that I'd lost interest in this conversation from the beginning; but I won't, cause I don't know how it's relevant to you.) But, when you are not the one I'm talking to, I don't have any obligations to care whether you understand me. In such cases, if you are actually interested in what other people are talking about, you can simply ask them to consider you as a part of the conversation. Then they could stop talking in their mother tongue, so you can take part. And that would stop me from being two-faced.

I ain't sure why I'm being --'d all over here now, but if it's you mad about me or found me offensive, I'm sorry mate, I didn't mean to.

I'm honestly not intending to be aggressive, or "go a bit off the rails"; I just sometimes feel I'm too "logical" for many people around me.

@NoMad
you shocked me
