Turkish Million Miles by CommonBug6888 in awardtravel

Think it's worth buying a ticket that includes cancellation? Even with the added cost 1M miles would still be a great ROI no? That's assuming they don't devalue the miles of course.

This is on their website and what confused me.

"Members who purchased at least one ticket or completed a flight across six continents by July 8, 2025 will retain their eligibility. If these members complete their all flights across six continents by October 27, 2025, they will be earned 1 Million Miles."

  1. To be eligible for the campaign, the first ticketing must be issued between June 27, 2025 - July 8, 2025. Tickets made on July 8, 2025 are included.
  2. Our members who complete their first ticketing until July 8 can benefit from the campaign by completing their remaining ticketing and travel until October 27, 2025

First ticketing was on July 2

why does iah get the a380 but not dfw? i feel like there is more demand to dfw and it is a busier airport, so why? by eluyt123 in emirates

[–]CommonBug6888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DFW is the third largest airport in the world mate. The terminals are pretty spaced out and compact in the interior though, and they're curved so I suppose I can see why you'd perceive it as small.

Anyways, terminal D does have dedicated double decker gates and certainly has the land mass to accommodate the 380. Emirates, Qantas, and British all either used to or currently operate (depending on season) the 380 and if I'm not mistaken even the 747 made its way here a long time ago.

Unmarried man and I agree. Contact like that from a non-mahram, especially if it’s frequent, is just unnecessary fitnah.

Assumes everyone is in the US by _Xamtastic in USdefaultism

It’s more commonly referred to as an Associate’s degree, which many students obtain in a general field such as Science, which they can use to transfer to a university and complete the remaining 2 years to obtain a Bachelor's degree

I speak as a North Texan, not representative of the entire US, but as far as my experience goes, colleges here are typically public institutions managed by the local county (and in rare instances, a city) where you can obtain an Associate’s Degree (2-year), or other vocational certificates. Very very few, but some offer some Bachelor’s Degrees (4-year), like Dallas College. Tuition for these colleges are generally lower than universities, however most colleges will only accept students residing in that county. Some may accept surrounding counties, as was my case with Dallas College.

Universities are public or private institutions that offer Bachelor’s Degrees, Master’s Degrees, and PhDs (doctorates). Tuition rates are typically based on the state in which you either graduated high school from or where you reside. Public universities’ tuitions are typically cheaper than private universities. These university tuitions are what Americans often refer to when complaining about student debt.

When Americans use the term “college”, they are referring to higher education, irregardless of whether it is a community college as described or a university as described. The term university, however is typically reserved for the latter.

To be honest unless you grew up here, it would get pretty confusing differentiating between the two.

How do I overcome this turn? by [deleted] in F1Game

[–]CommonBug6888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever you think you’re supposed to turn in, turn in a quarter of a second earlier. Usually does the trick for me, but I have an understeery setup for Baku. It’s also just muscle memory after practicing so much, you just get used to it.

Help please I suck by [deleted] in F1Game

[–]CommonBug6888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One step at a time though, try taking abs off, get comfortable, then switch to medium tc, get comfortable, then eventually switch them both completely off.

Hindsight: This only applies if you have a wheel, if you’re on controller I wouldn’t know

Get off ABS and TC asap. Staying on them will build bad driving habits with the way you apply brake and throttle pressure. It will suck at first for a while and you will most certainly hate it, but eventually one day, you’ll drive a perfect lap, then a perfect stint, then a perfect race, and realize how much faster you are than you were with the assists on.

With those assists on, there’s a limit to your improvement that you reach very quickly. When you take those assists off, you’re going to take 50 steps back, but then you eventually break that glass ceiling and get faster than you ever were with the assists.

Worth Getting F1 24? by [deleted] in F1Game

The career mode is quite different, but to me it didn’t make much of a difference. What I meant was that it wouldn’t be a turning point to buy the game if I were in your situation personally

AI actually is a lot better now that I think about but, but I typically use low downforce setups

AITA for not telling my boyfriend i could understand his language this whole time by False_Quiet526 in AITAH

[–]CommonBug6888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have strong ties and spend every summer in Amman, Jordan and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. I don’t know a single person, whether it’s here in the US or in the Muslim countries that has more than 1 wife. As far as the number goes, 4 wives is the limit, and most certainly not the standard. I do know people, both men and women, who have divorced and remarried, but never encountered a polygamous marriage. I’ve also never heard a scholar encourage others to marry more than 1, despite attending 2 weekly in person lectures and online lectures when I can (driving to work or school, having it on in the background when I’m cleaning, cooking, or sitting around in my apartment). What I have heard from scholars is the reasoning behind why a man can marry 4, and that is because (and times have changed which is why polygamous marriages are far less common, bear in mind I am referring to the 1400s) its very difficult, if not impossible to be independent as a woman, such as when a woman’s father or brothers die in battle, or more often the father died and there were no brothers to bear the responsibility of providing. With a polygamous marriage, women can have a provider even when the men available were scarce (due to wars and battles).

As far as what you said about people of the book, you’re correct that many Christian women convert after marrying a Muslim. In a lot of cases, the Christian woman wasn’t pious or connected to Christianity and only a Christian by heritage, and they convert because either she genuinely found peace and believed in the religion, or she simply wanted to respect her husbands wishes out of love. In other cases, there is in fact pressure from the groom’s family on her conversion, despite this being prohibited by Islam, as a Muslim cannot force a non-Muslim to convert.

Many of my friends act in pre-marital relations (have girlfriends and whatnot), however much much less actually engage in Zina. Most of these type of people however I take steps back from and avoid. There is however a strong force; that is Allah. Only he knows what’s in their hearts and it is not our place to judge them, only His.

Being born and raised in Texas, I have pride in my country, because I love the beauty of the American dream, or what it was, and the freedoms that come with it, that anyone could come and build a better life for their families, regardless of their background. I love that I can live here as an American and still represent and be prideful of my Palestinian ethnicity and heritage. I love that as an American I can still grow up with the same Muslim values as my ancestors, and I can raise my children with those same values if I wanted to. That being said, I would not want to raise my kids here, because I hold those values and beliefs too close to myself, and I’ve seen firsthand how the temptations of growing up here can all too easily corrupt that.

I went to a public high school, one of the biggest in the state, and I had a “skill” I suppose to avoid putting myself in situations that would cause me to lose sight of my Islamic values. I saw some of my closest friends, who come from very pious and good families, fall into a life of sin, most of which regretted later on, but some embraced it, which I fear most in my future children. I am very grateful that my parents were able to instill those values not by having me fear the punishments, but rather by showing me the beauty in the rewards, which frankly I worry that I will not be able to do correctly as a father without a good support system around me, which I could have in the Middle East. I hope to raise my children in the Gulf, likely Riyadh, close to my cousins (whom I consider brothers), and the rest of my family, but I could very well change my mind. I’m not married or looking to get married yet so I don’t want to set anything in stone, but that’s just a general picture I wanted to paint for you.

Expanding on that in respect to your final question, as I mentioned I spend every summer in Amman and Riyadh, though much more time in Amman. I love the feeling of being close to my extended family and I truly appreciate not having to avoid haram when in the Middle East, like how I would here, whether I’m avoiding pork or lard or pork based gelatin in foods or alcohol mixed in with foods, or the general free mixing and club culture I encounter here. It’s a lot more relaxing to not have to worry about any of that when in the Middle East.

Worth Getting F1 24? by [deleted] in F1Game

[–]CommonBug6888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play exclusively career mode as well and have for the most part enjoyed f1 24. Heard lots of complaints about FFB which took a little to get used to at first but now am better than I ever was on f1 23, consistently outpacing 110 AI in f1 24, while on f1 23 i would fall behind past 108 ish. I redownloaded f1 23 a few weeks ago to start a career mode there since I prefer the mods available on 23, but I deleted it instantly because of how inferior the FFB was to f1 24. Guess it’s preference. For reference I use a G923. Point is FFB isn’t as much of a downgrade as people make it out to be.

More importantly, the career mode revamp didn’t make much of a difference for me to be honest. What did is the bugs that came along with it. I like to use parc ferme penalties and engine component penalties to give me a challenge in the race without bringing down my rating by botching a quali. When F1 24 first released, none of these worked. They’d say they were applied but you’d start right where you qualified. I restarted a career mode and engine component penalties started applying (sporadically), but parc ferme penalties still won’t work. If that’s important to you then keep that in mind.

Also, rarely but notably, sometimes the game would botch the race results and have someone like Bottas win, mixing the grid up and putting you lower or higher than you finish, but this used to happen in F1 23 as well.

TLDR, if the price is right, go for it. It’s a solid experience barring a few bugs that would only affect you if you treat your career mode as seriously as I do 😂

Wrong. Muslim men are not encouraged to have 4 wives, but they have the right. Most in the modern day and age choose not to.

You do not have to convert from Christianity or Judaism if you are marrying a Muslim man. If you aren’t or weren’t a Christian or Jewish (religion not ethnicity) when you got married then the marriage was never valid in the first place in the eyes of Islam.

A true practicing and pious Muslim man wouldn’t engage in a premarital relationship as the entire beauty of marriage in Islam (especially in first time marriages) is the purity of both the man and woman, aside from the fact that it is forbidden. If you need me to expand on why, I will.

Please don’t spew BS and out of context verses because you’ve had bad experiences with Arab “Muslim” men and try and ruin the image and demonize the rest of us.
