Comrades, I’m stuck working on some university bullshit and thus I am bored. So, let’s shoot the shit. I am an Iranian computer engineering graduate student (have a bsc degree in CompSci) and I have noticed that my country Iran is completely… opaque, so to speak, to even leftist of various denominations from the outside. So, let’s talk comrade to comrade. Ask me shit about the daily soulcrushing grind of life in Iran…
It can range from bad to actual living hell. The first 3 months of bootcamp is really bad, and if you luck out and get a cushy assignment the rest of it will be easier. But if you don’t you will get deployed to border areas and have to actually fight smugglers and shit (causality rates exist) that’s if you don’t die to some bullshit accident (Buses carrying conscripts have crashed more than a few times)
Public transport is rather decent! Most cities have metro, BRT, and Taxi lines to use. Tehran’s walk ability kind of sucks badly tho; in the enclaves it is good but going from one area or district to the other on foot may need some pathfinding abilites. Depends on the area tbh
