Pouya

It's my favorite show because basically I cannot tolerate anything else because at least in The Walking Dead, the things are objectively worse for the people there than it is for Iranians right now.

That is the only thing I can tolerate.

I really like the show.

Daryl is my favorite character.

I sure hope nothing bad happens to him.

And, well, let's see how poorly this ages.

One of my patients was an 11-year-old girl coming in with a chief complaint of extreme headache in front of her head.

It was nothing too serious.

I asked if she's undergone any stress recently.

Kind of an obvious question these days, but, you know, she was a child.

I asked the parents if she had any access to any of the news of the war, and they confirmed it, which sounds like very poor parenting to me.

So after making sure the hospital stabilized, me and two of my friends went to the park near the hospital to smoke cigarettes.

I had never smoked any cigarettes up until like two months ago.

My very first cigarette was upon hearing the news, the confirmation of Khamenei being killed.

And I'm really glad I waited that long because now every time I do it, I'm reminded of that night as it was one of the best nights of my life.

By far, the most difficult moments for me during the blackouts were times like this, where I could barely connect with the VPNs, only to see people on social media falling for the regime propaganda.

And I'm not talking about Iranians.

These are people living in free countries, and that is incredibly depressing to see.

I've seen charlatans actually denying the January massacre in which dozens of thousands of people were killed and whitewashing the Islamic Republic all the way through just because they disagree with this war or Trump or the U.S.

foreign policy as a whole.
