For someone who questions the US government so much, you seem to believe the Iranian government a lot

The comments ratioed this cable TV general pretty hard, lol.

@LukeGromen
…and yet they can still close Hormuz at will.

@quesoliker
I don't think there's any reason to believe any of these numbers

@HarreBelly
There's no way they have the intelligence to these percentages

@vardman13
We say we have kicked the **** out of them. Killed most leadership. Thier economy is at imminent collapse. We say all this. …and yet they have no shortage of rockets and they keep firing them. And now they dare to break the ceasefire?! Something doesn't add up here.

@databob55
That's great, but the Caspian Sea is still open for re-supply from Russia....
And the Strait of Hormuz remains in Iranian control.

@asiacheese
... and then he woke up?

You might want to look up how to use the term ratio in terms of social media because I don't think you know what you're talking

Lmao no I'm definitely not. You always think you're the smartest person in the forum, you've proved otherwise multiple times today. Ratio has two meanings, a post that has more comments than likes or commenting on something and getting more comments than the original post. Neither of those two things happened.

Stick to posting about how much you support Russia and China

The broader use of the term "ratio" applies to a post that was heavily disliked.

In your case it's not just a matter of not being the smartest in the room, but of lacking basic emotional maturity and perspective, like your obsessive need to try to score points by splitting hairs and using bad arguments and strawmen, this here being a prime example of that compulsive behavior.

No dude you just don't know the definition of ratio and you're salty for getting called out so you resort to personal attacks. It's your routine.

By your definition it wasn't even ratioed. It had over 1.7k likes and under 120 comments, some being positive. In what world does that show a post is highly disliked?

It's not surprising to see people posting about posters, rather than the TOPIC of the actual thread itself.

Shocker.

The post in question had about 90% negative responses, mostly good thrashings, and some very creative putdowns like the ones I posted above, which happened to be the first replies in sequence on my feed to that dumb post.

Mine is a broader use of the term ratio: a lopsided display of public disapproval as validated in the bottom part of the AI definition below, and not the narrower and nerdier definition:

AI Overview

"Ratioed" (or ratio'd) is a social media term for a post, usually on X (Twitter), that receives significantly more replies/comments than likes or retweets. This imbalance indicates that the post is widely unpopular, controversial, or wrong, with users actively pushing back rather than engaging positively. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Usage Examples & Context
  • The "Ratio" Phenomenon: A tweet with 1,000 replies and only 50 likes is considered heavily ratioed.
  • Public Disapproval: "You just got ratioed," often used to inform a user that their opinion is disliked by the majority.
It's kind of funny how the endtimer Trump cultist peanut gallery piled on onto this, as if they have finally found a sliver of a gotcha moment on something as trivial, fastidious and anal as the proper use of a new slang term, as opposed to anything about the main subject itself, the conduct of a disastrous war of choice that is going to destroy the legacy of the clown at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Yours is an incorrect use of the term. Yes it was lopsided, way more people liked it than wrote negative comments. You were wrong, it's okay. The more you dig in, the more wrong you are. Move on and live another day

Shemiran (Shemroon) Hills, in northern Tehran, is one of Iran's wealthiest districts, known for luxury villas, upscale shopping, and as a former royal summer retreat. Many foreign embassies and diplomatic residences are located there, which leads to lighter hijab enforcement to avoid international incidents or backlash from elites and expats.

I've seen several videos recently shot in Iran middle class neighborhoods where most of the women did not wear hijabs.

First video doesn't look like middle class Iran to me. Second video there are, by my estimation, over 70% of the women wearing head coverings.

First video didn't have many foreigners, so your excuse of avoiding diplomatic incidents for lax enforcement of hijab laws was bogus.

The second, longer video shows many women without hijab, roughly half the younger women. Which means that your video with an Iranian expat claiming that women who don't cover their heads risk punishment was bogus, certainly doesn't jibe with 30% of women not following that rule.
