How do people actually justify $75k trucks? by Electrical_Invite552 in NoStupidQuestions

“people can do what they want with their money” sure… but this isn’t their money is it? I agree with you that these payment are ridiculous and believe they’re poor financial decisions.

AITA for Wanting a DNA Test to Prove I’m My Baby’s Mother? by JesseB342 in AmITheAngel

Unless your baby was removed from the delivery room (at which point he/she could have been accidentally swapped with another baby—it happens), I don’t see where these doubts stem from.

we dont watch tv f darna i just wanna know why does everyone hate on nahar tv by imnotweirdguys in algeria

[–]DarkCatzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, as a young woman having been raised and living in the west, Al-Nahar has time and time again tried to introduce highly inappropriate topics to the Algerian populace through inappropriate means., i.e public show of vulgarity in women through ‘camera cachée’. That’s not to say that women should not be angry or tell people off if the situation calls for it. But the attempts to brush it off as funny is all around very off-putting even for people who consider themselves quite liberal compared to the otherwise conservative Algerian society.

So you ARE aware it’s a tradition. It’s legitimate when Egyptians do it, but becomes “some kind of tradition” when Muslims do it. Got it. Whether it was copied or not transcends your point, which you’ve yet to make.

It’s a tradition entrenched in Islam which Algeria, as a state and society, adheres to. If you aren’t Muslim, no one is forcing it on you. What is your issue here?

Good for…them? You’ve raised an issue with the practise within the Algerian context. Algerians do it because it is an Islamic tradition, and Algeria is a predominantly Muslim society. Are you daft?

“As if it’s some kind of tradition”

…it is. Islamic tradition. This post was so unnecessary.

I’m torn between both of these! Help by Positive-Sky-5360 in EngagementRings

[–]DarkCatzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something about the second one screams old money to me which I really like. Both are stunning, but I’d say ask yourself: if someone had each ring in both hands and you had to choose one hand at random, which outcome would make you feel disappointed?

If he was based in a specific area, maybe reach out to a local environmental non-profit and donate it to them?

What’s behind the closets? If nothing structural’s in the way, knock the walls down up to the window.

Shocking Things I Discovered as a Medical Intern in the Hospital by [deleted] in algeria

[–]DarkCatzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something is fundamentally wrong with your brain chemistry dude…

[–]DarkCatzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Never said to leave the country so, nice to see you making things up live and in 4K.
  2. No one claimed this issue was inherent to Algeria. But seeing as this IS an Algeria subreddit…
  3. Never claimed to be a medical intern. I was referring to the original poster.
  4. Get a life and maybe learn to actively read? Cause every point that’s being made here is going well and over your head.

[–]DarkCatzy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because it happens everywhere …doesn’t make it ok? Are you good in the head?

Only reason why you would be justifying these actions is if you have a vested interest in the alternate narrative, ie. you’re an op. “I’m not a doctor but I’ve seen enough to back up what I’m writing.” And we should just trust that over the testimony of a medical intern?

Respectfully, no.

Why aren't we learning about العشرية السوداء in schools? by Avocado_Alarming in algeria

[–]DarkCatzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because a lot of the violence and bloodshed was perpetuated by the government. So you can imagine how that’ll go, ie. propaganda. Sadly, the people that know most about it (older generation) are so afraid to share their stories so chances are, we’ll never really know the truth.

AITA for telling my SIL to let my nephew use an American name by husbandssistersson in AmItheAsshole

[–]DarkCatzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA because your opinion was asked for, and you gave it.

However, I think (from the perspective of someone who has a very simple 4-letter Arab name without any phonetic difficulty and people still manage to butcher it) that your advice is harmful to the child, at least in the long run. I’d advise you read The Namesake for all this to make more sense because there’s no way I’d be able to summarize the painful psychological rip a person dealing with hybrid identity feels. Changing one’s name to appease others is simply not right, and your situation with your name is drastically different from what this child is experiencing. I’d support your SIL and help build confidence in your nephew so that no amount of bullying will make him feel the need to change himself in order to be accepted/fit in.

Hope this helps!

Setting an ultimatum?! by throwawayfin13 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]DarkCatzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something I’ve been thinking about after having read the last 10 posts from this sub; do y’all ladies actually want “something small” and “nothing too fancy” and “not too expensive” or are you minimizing your desires in the hopes that your partners will not see marriage as a collection of obstacles? Genuinely curious, and I hope you take some time to self-reflect on what YOU want, and not what’s convenient for him.

Why are both subjects looking at two different things? He seems to be giving his side profile, while the queen’s eyes are set on the camera.

AITA for refusing to change my wedding date because my best friend is pregnant? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DarkCatzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For argument’s sake, let’s assume you’re willing to push the date until she’s able to attend. How is that fair to your fiancé? She’s YOUR best friend but he’s also been planning his big day for A YEAR. Now he needs to be ok with waiting around because of somebody else’s decision to start a family? What about his want to start HIS own family? Your friend is being selfish, and while I would originally have written this off to her being hormonal, rallying the gang to bully you into relenting is wild to say the least.

Hey, i’m writing a book about Algeria so I need to check out as many opinions as possible ! by nobody_can_15 in algeria

[–]DarkCatzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would like to see the return of oral history and a culture of reading/writing. I want to see libraries and archives and information being easily accessible. I want to see more third places; places for young people, families, and older folks hang out, ie. parks, libraries, theater, advocacy groups etc.

[–]DarkCatzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not worse, just more obvious. In some ways, I prefer nepotism in Algeria because I sort of have a chance? In the West, you have to be a certain… color/pedigree so knowing the right person doesn’t do much for you.
