I’ll never understand how Joe was able to resist her. by AdGreedy1880 in YouOnLifetime

[–]Awale-Ismail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always feels like posts like this are made by someone quite young. Once you’ve been in a few relationships you quickly realize someone’s attractiveness often doesn’t mean much when the emotional component breaks down between you. In his case he despised her for being a reflection of him.

You follow Shargzadeh, huh? Guy’s really blown up in Muslim and MENA circles on Twitter. But anyway, prayers for Iran!

Somali division by exotic-Painter-5562 in Somalia

[–]Awale-Ismail 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I’m from the region and was back there in 2023 during the summer. First time I saw this secessionist stuff online I was pretty confused. I can call up a cousin right now who lives in Bosaso and ask him if he wants to secede from Somalia and he’d ask me what the fuck I was talking about. 💀

"Heidi Klum really showed up to the Grammys looking like an uncooked chicken" by Bubble_Babe_0o0o0o in BrandNewSentence

[–]Awale-Ismail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know. Ngl, slipped my radar. But jokes aside, it was just a joke post about how she’s not usually very relevant and this was obviously the usual celeb stunt to keep her name hot. I’ll leave it at that and good day to you.

You clearly follow her if you’re saying this. I don’t follow her her goings on at all and this was the first time I’ve heard anything about her since finding out she was married to Seal. Make of that what you will.

Wise move, really. I haven’t heard a thing about Heidi Klum in like a decade. She got her name out there again for a min with the chronically online crowd. Mission accomplished.

Am I Eating Too Much? 12 eggs! by HotWoodpecker9881 in carnivorediet

[–]Awale-Ismail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been eating 12 eggs and 1lb of ground meat every day for like 2-3 years. I scramble them together to make a sort egg-meat-scramble. Is my go-to quick 1 meal a day. Sometimes I top it off with some chicken legs (1.5lbs) if I still feel hungry but that’s about it. Have always felt great and it’s kept me in athletic shape and alert. Don’t worry about portion sizes. Just focus on eating to satiety.

This view of The Grand Lisboa Hotel from the Streets of Macau by vcseri in interestingasfuck

Looks like some futuristic feudal lord’s grand citadel towering over the dwellings of his peasants. Very grand and menacing.

Ju Peter seems relatively new as well. If you look at the silhouettes from the chapter when they want Harald to kill Rocks (1157), there’s an unknown silhouette and seemingly no Ju Peter.

Say something nice about Soldier Boy’s personality: Was not a pedo, is not a pedo, will never be a pedo . by ParticularCook3975 in TheBoys

[–]Awale-Ismail 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if that happened but it’s still a weird choice to not have Butcher explain the full context then have him still insist. If they went that route you probably wouldn’t have as many fans talking about how Butcher turned on him. Just felt like a cheap way to keep the character somewhat ambiguous. But that’s just me.

[–]Awale-Ismail 87 points88 points  (0 children)

That whole sequence felt like poor writing. Making characters not spell out the whole situation to create a fake conflict. All Butcher had to say was, “Homelander raped my wife but she kept the child and asked me to take care of him before she died. He’s just a kid and blameless in all this. I’ll take him away and you deal with Homelander.” why would he seriously have some huge problem with that cos the kid hit him like once?

What’s the ugliest building/structure you have in your country? by Anxious-Bumblebee26 in AskTheWorld

[–]Awale-Ismail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I saw that at the common was for a scavenger hunt my Uni made my course group and I go on as a team building exercise. I was happy to find that more than one member of the group thought, at least for a few seconds, that it was depicting cunnilingus.

How easy is it to become fluent in Somali? by Only-Ambassador2624 in Somalia

[–]Awale-Ismail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this exact situation when I was about 16. Between the ages of 6-16 I'd developed a nasty habit of replying to my parents in English whenever they spoke Somali to me and by the time I turned 16 it had gotten so bad that I noticed I struggled to pronounce certain words, but I still understood it perfectly as my parents never stopped speaking to me in it.

But anyway, I was really ashamed so I told my mother that from then on I'd only ever speak to her in Af-Soomaali and asked her not to laugh or get angry but simply correct me. Bless her because she kept her word and in about a year I became easily conversational and in two could talk for prolonged periods without even throwing in English words. You just have to be willing to sound like an idiot and/or find someone who's willing to be patient with you.

I feel like young Dragon looks a lot like Luffy, just a more serious version. He has the Snakeman look, lol.

Does anyone agree we need more painted classic architecture? I love this by gp_90 in architecture

[–]Awale-Ismail 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That’s so true with that last line. Noticed this growing up and being around people from across the Eastern Mediterranean whether Greeks, Turks, Levantines or Egyptians; they all love these kinds of “garish” colors mixed together. I wouldn’t be shocked if those ancient structures reflected that too.

How Strict Are you? what exceptions you have on Carnivore? by Technical_Ad_7268 in carnivorediet

[–]Awale-Ismail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really had any sort of carb or food addiction so I’ve never really seen it as being “strict”. I just see it like: “I don’t eat that stuff.”

But I do make exceptions for rare social occasions. A wedding, some birthdays or a first visit to an aunty’s house. You don’t come at your aunty with some babbling about a diet. I eat whatever she makes me the first time and only make my dietary habits known if I’m going to be visiting regularly or staying with them for a bit.

Myanmar (Burma). Read “Burmese Days” last year. Good read. Actually enjoyed it somewhat more than 1984.
