maktub in arabic means 'it is written' but it is mostly used in the sense of 'destiny' when something is meant to happen. it means that everything is already written.
it feels like the articles on this topic are a bit contradictory. they say that maintaining good muscle mass is key to aging well but you can't really build muscle without eating at a slight calorie surplus
muslim rape gangs that want to rape women?? that's a really racist thing to say lol no government should have the right to force women to wear the hijab to 'protect' them. the videos we saw on twitter 2 years ago of people being executed for protesting in the street makes iran a horrible abuser of human rights. the us-israel-iran war has nothing to do with the situation of women in iran. you don't have to rationalize the horrific things iran inflicts on its people to believe that the united states and israel shouldn't bomb iran
yes people should trade languages! not so long ago I really wanted to improve my spoken english, it would have been fun to trade english for french, well I don't think there's a lot of people interested in learning arabic lol
don't you think you sound absurd, grotesque, pathetic, lamentable when you talk about the 12 children killed but not the 20,000 killed on the other side??
i just saw your tweet where you say the pagers thing is really funny and everyone in the comments was saying no it's not because innocent people died but you keep saying no it's still funny, you know what's really REALLY funny?? its when in the near future people like you who enjoy the death of innocents are going to be treated like nazis and your children and grandchildren are going to be ashamed to admit that they're related to you, it's going to be really very funny 🥰🥰
sorry but that's incorrect pro-inflammatory foods don't strengthen the immune system. i personally eat almost everything but i'm not going to say that white bread is beneficial for my immune system. also, pro-inflammation is more about chronic inflammation, not inflammation when the body is fighting a pathogen
the other day i saw a video on titok of a charity that brings children who have been injured in gaza, mostly children who have had amputations, to the us for treatment and prosthetics. it would be really cool to help them!
why would you be surprised that the bride had graduated with a PHD 🙂🙂. I find it weird that you would say that. for example in my country Tunisia, 66% of university students are girls.
actually Josh I didn't understand the difference between stories and posts on the feed? otherwise I really like Nos, it's very fluid and I like the discover section where you have another kind of content that's a bit different from what the other apps are showing.
great article! very easy to read and very fluid. I didn't really get how the people on bluesky misinterpreted the first article saying he left because of the content on bluesky. from what I recall from the first article, jack's team recruited a developer to create a protocol on which twitter can anchor itself, to address different problems twitter was facing. the developer ended up creating a company with a board, becoming its CEO, and establishing a service layer that aim to replace twitter. it's kinda normal to feel dissatisfied with how things unfolded?
it's like if you hire a contractor to build you a house and then he says hmm I did build you a house but I also built a floor above your house for me and now the whole house is in my name. I don't know I don't think it's very ethical.
thanks for the advice! at the moment we only have orange and lemon trees, but I'd love to have some vegetables like tomatoes and peppers. Members of my family have a fig tree, a loquat tree, a mulberry tree.. I really enjoy fruit straight from the garden!
here we don't have the same size as the two pictures put together, the picture isn't displayed in full but the size is bigger than the 2 pictures together.
for the 2 photos shown together, it's a standard size for both photos. i think i'd prefer to have this, a standard size where you get the full photo when you click on it.
twitter's algorithms are terrible, I don't really interact with political content but I get political content shown every day, every day I get Elon Musk posts even though I don't follow him and every time I click on less Elon Musk content but it doesn't work. TikTok has nothing to do with this, if you don't interact with political content, they'll never show you political content.
people like Elon Musk who are obsessed with this falling birth rate thing couldn't care less about babies in africa. they're obviously talking about babies in western countries.
honestly when I see videos on tiktok where american people are asked simple questions and they can't even tell the difference between a continent and a country, I think maybe these maps aren't very accurate.
I know it's very different from one country to another, but still poor doesn't mean uneducated. there are probably a lot of people in Togo who know what bitcoin is.
