Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That's where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable.

The other thread was submitted to the wrong 'sub' (?). I make it here so mods have no reason to remove my post.

Recap: Iranian president's helicopter has crashed; I personally don't care about politics but I noticed Western sources:

1- Pronounce Persian names like it's Arabic, and this really blew a fuse in my brain;

2- Mistranslate lexical and semantic aspects of Persian;

3- Put wrong words between quotes;

So this is a live update for those care about LINGUISTICALLY CORRECT news.

Note: I don't care really, and I live in Iran, so most people don't care, so I think this is a good 'sub' (what are Lemmy's equivalent of subs?).

Iran is not really a place that's often on the news, most people on either side of it don't know much about it, or even know what language we speak (we don't speak any 'language', we speak languageS). This is the biggest news that's came out of Iran in like 20 years, it's not a country that concerns itself with external conflicts. So I thought this would be a good place for people to learn about this obscure place.

Updates Begin

Update 1:

• The Fog that caused the crash is gone, but it's not nighttime. So this makes the rescue effort still troublesome.

Update 2:

• Footage of the president and the foreign minister (this guy does not have much to do really, we keep to ourselves) in the helicopter has been published by IRNN: https://imgur.com/a/R6DMeG2
• There were two other people in the helicopter, the High Priest of Jericho and the Sultan of East Balkans.

Update 3:

• Iranians all over the world are praying to Lord Buddha for safety of the President.
• "We will sacrifice two virgins and a three goats"

said people of Navajo Nation, Iran's biggest Ally.
