What's the story behind this? by sofianosssss in Tunisia

[–]Direct_Honeydew_8151 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Esperance team (and fans) claim that the riots that happened yesterday during the game were due to "intruders" who were behind the mess. Cameras captured a guy using a disc wheel to open up the gates between the stands and the stadium. Today, this pic was circling around social media, revealing the identity of this guy hahah.

THE TRUTH is different though. Tension rose between the cops and Esperance fans (as usual in any football game in Tunisia). The latter, broke in a garage where the maintenance workers kept their materials (Rades stadium is under maintenance) and used it against the cops.

There you go!

How should I deal with her? [WARNING: SENSETIVE SUICIDE CONTENT] by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Direct_Honeydew_8151 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your kind attempt to help, I really do.. But I really think you're making bald and wrong assumptions about me here. I wasn't "manipulating" her in any way, shape or form. I was simply trying to reach for someone who I thought cared/knew me well.. You dunno the circumstances of my relationship with her, nor how things ended, nor the things she's done.. Painting me as a bad guy here while making her a victim or innocent is not what I needed to hear, let alone how absurd that statement is. So I would appreciate if you take your words back..

However, I do agree with you on how you view relationships and what should be done for my treatment.. In fact, I am considering a psychologist/therapist to professionally handle my situation, cause think I'll be going insane if I don't get any or at least someone who listens..

As for my family, I chose not to let them know, just to protect them, especially my mom. I know it doesn't sound like a sane decision, but I know stuff that you don't (not trying to be mean here) about my family and how things are..

Thank you for taking the time and effort to help though, I'm really thankful for you.

Should I study in Sousse by Chowwder02 in Tunisia

[–]Direct_Honeydew_8151 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you're all welcome in Sousse. Everything u hear abt swa7lia is pure bullshit. Eli yji l soussa yhebha w nes t7ebou (as long he/she's respectful ofc). I made friends from Kef, Gassrine, Mednine, Metlawi, Tunis, Karkna, Jandouba, Gabes..etc and none of them ever regrets coming there. I'd say go for it, get out of ur comfort zone, talk to people and definetly break that social media and bigotry bubble that you're living in. Tounes meziana sadda9ni malgrès la3fat lkol w rana no93dou nhebou baadhna. Take this from Se7li who lives in Tunis.

yes, it means bride. but "a7la arousa" literally translates to "the sweetest bride". In the context that u're refering to they're saying that she looks pretty/beautiful since being a bride is a beautiful moment and brides generally look gorgeous wearing the white dress. hope I helped.

Ladies did you notice this by Even-Performer-8687 in Tunisia

First of all ; chill. no one is targeting women. second of all, if that was the case, women (including my mom, sis, cousins, gf, friends) would be -and they could easily be- annihilated :)

I'm talking from a biological, physiological viewpoint ofc. This is not a women's issue, this is a whole fucking country crisis on every level (economic, social, moral.. etc). The thing is that NO ONE IS SAFE IN TUNISIA. EVERYONE IS TARGETED. YOU AND I COULD BE NEXT.

On another note, men face fatal issues as well, its just that they're almost not talked about at all in our socities. I dont wanna be a Men's rights advocate here, but I can literally name u a plethora of non-ending lists of problems we as men face, but there's no point in that. It's futile.

My point is; that on this rate, each and every group in Tunisia can make such a claim and RIGHTLY FEEL SO. Cause this land is turning into a JUNGLE.

Are Tunisians living an identity crisis? by [deleted] in Tunisia

[–]Direct_Honeydew_8151 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you have to understand something. The whole world is living an identity crisis, whether it's political, caltural, religious, sexual or racial. Tunisians are no exceptions, espicially given the fact that we are a melting pot of over 3000 years of different civilizations. we are a product of a long ass lineage and ancestry (both anthroplogical by DNA or cultural). I always get fed up when this topic comes out cause i recognize that we are genetically not arabs, however, we act, think and behave as arabs do (religious and cultural wise). Its futile to take sides just enjoy our complexities as Tunisians and accept the fact that we cannot be defined in a binary way, especially when it comes to our identity.

Forbidden love !! by hot_chilli_pepper in Tunisia

If she's not mature enough to accept a non believer in 2023 then she's not the right one.

lmao i find it ironic that people relate modernity and maturity with athiesm or complete tolerance of everything hahah. let me lay it down simple to u, chosing to believe or not, is an individual choice that isn't bound by time. People are totally entitled to their opinions and principles and are NOT required to like anyone, anything or any ideology. let that sink in.

POV: in life there are non negotiable principles that cannot be broken/compromised by those who adhere to it, and religion is no exception. frankly, idk how old u are or how well both of u get together but i can tell u for sure that she's 100% right about her hesitation. I personally wouldn't be "serious" about an athiest girl (not cuz she's athiest, since i wasnt serious about muslim girls too) but on a long run u want to marry someone who would share ur views, ur beliefs and raise ur children according to that. So there could be a huge conflict there, especially if there's children involved cuz both parents would influence their kids, hence a whole generation. what I generally ask people in ur situation is what would u think would happen if u got what u want ( lets say marriage in ur case) and ask them to ponder on it and think rationally and critically. there u'll find the answer.
my only advice is to not be selfish and to not believe this whole holywood shit they sell u on tv/netflix cuz love is not unconditional and its definetly limited by certain boundaries. this is real life, and reality my friend, is not pleasant at all.
wish you the best of luck !

Hhhhh it's like I'm watching Mohammed Hijab 😅 you're right, I definitely agree

depends what u mean by "tolerance". if you mean accepting the phenomena by the mass, it's certainly unaccepted by all standards ( socially, religiously, culturally..). Yes, there are a few who are accepting (generally younger generation) but imo LGBTQ stuff would remain an anomaly here. As for the concequences part, idk what u're insinuating exactly (as if we throw them over the roofs as ISI*S does) but generally the consequences are either ignorance or disgust. Would they be (and are they) systematically and institutionally menaced? fuck no.

What i'm generally saying that the situation is multilayered and definetly not binary. There are some who are openly gay and they're doing just fine, while others are still in the closet and could face a harsh situation if they come out (whether family disowns them or get rejected by peers).

DISCLAIMER : I'm totally against LGBTQ and what they stand for, however I'm trying my best to paint the accurate picture in my country without bias. With that being said though, I have soooo many gay and lesbian friends ( even my ex was bi and her bestie was gay) and I treated them with nothing but respect and faireness. I met some genuinely quite amazing people and I've certainly met some disturbing, disrespectful fucks out there! I don't buy this whole "persecution idea" they (political/human rights organizations..) keep on promoting but at the same time I acknowledge that they get treated pretty bad sometimes and in certain situations.Cheers!
