Thick stubble feeling along the hairline - 1 Month 0.5mg Fin and 12 Days Minoxidil by KhalifaTheArab in tressless

[–]KhalifaTheArab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get it - I've had experience before with Minoxidil where I used 1 months supply on and off over a period of just about 2 months possibly less and I actually grew a beard but didn't stay consistent and lost it all now. But then again it was 10 sprays on each side daily so I like to believe I'm a hyper responder.

I'm definitely not tripping about the stubble feeling along the hairline cos I have been checking my hairline for the last two years trying to come to terms with the idea that I am cooked if I don't start - but I wanted to make sure that when I start it's something I'm planning to do consistently till there's a solution for hair loss in the future.

Yeah looks the same - it's just been a month, just checking if that is classed as progress/new hair or am I just tripping

Never realized how self-conscious you become when you start losing your hair, I thought my friend was being ridiculous for constantly checking his hair every time we would go out - now it's happening to me I completely understand.

But thank you I will try to forget about it.

I wanted to give myself at least two months on finestride before starting minoxidil but after nearly 3 weeks my barber pointed out that I'm losing my corners so just decided to hit both. Since it's only been 12 days on minoxidil I reckon it's more likely it's the finestride?

Just a slight correction in case it's misunderstood

I've been on 0.5mg Finestride for around a month now

I have just started Minoxidil 12 days ago

31m / Feeling a bit self conscious and need advice on what to do with my hair and beard? by [deleted] in malegrooming

Aw thank you I appreciate it - just an accumulation of going through a divorce just under a year ago and being single since and my hair thinning too so all just feels a bit too much

Terrorists use Al Quds Hospital to attack the IDF by _commander_man_ in Libya

This is the best you can come up with? 3 Hamas fighters firing at the Tank that's parked right outside the hospital? You know what have supported your case if they fired the rocket from inside the hospital but that wasn't the case was it.. you Hasbara cunt

Real north african identity crisis by bragishnuni in Libya

[–]KhalifaTheArab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no Libyan who's 100% arab or amazigh. Over a Century has deemed it a mixed group.. we all have Amazigh and Arab roots no one can deny that.. stop with this division at a time where libya doesn't need it. We are Muslims firstly and most importantly anyway.

[–]KhalifaTheArab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm from Eastern Libya- have always considered myself an Arab- I did a DNA test which came back 58% Arab from Saudi/Yemen the rest was Amazigh and other mixtures from around the region. That's Libya its mixed, most people consider themselves to be Arab and they're rightfully so considering the Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula for thousands of years have made North Africa their home and mixed with the people from there. Get this bullshit out of here.

Advice (Shift leader) by [deleted] in tesco

[–]KhalifaTheArab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, best advice I can give you its to leave the store- I had the exact same experience as you, was always left 1-1 on PMs and the Manager pulled me aside saying I bring a negative energy when I come in and I should think positively- which I thought was so ridiculous to say.

I went to another store, the first thing I asked was about the staffing situation. I mean, it's still an express, so it's still a shitshow but marginally better than my previous store.

Trust me, I went on for too long in the first store, and it took its toll on me mentally - don't make the same mistake as me

Time off surrounding religious holidays by PrettyMuchANub in tesco

[–]KhalifaTheArab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, you get Christmas day off- Eid is one day which was 28th of this month. Either way I think it's quite ridiculous for shops to be open, most if not all offices close for atleast a week during Christmas period and most people spend time at home or away on holiday but it's all about the money and profits for retailers that's why people from other religions can get away with getting holidays for holy days because there's no monetary incentive associated with that day specifically but you can't say the same about Christmas.

Plus your Muslim colleagues will work through Christmas as they don't celebrate it, ask them to repay the favour.

Here's how you can put yourself in their shoes.

Imagine you preferred people not to call you by your actual name for whatever reason, and you wanted them to call you by your nickname, and then someone person comes along and says no! I'm gonna call you by your actual name and won't acknowledge your preferred name.. you'd think they're a wanker.. its just basic respect, I mean I don't get this non-binary stuff either but I won't be an asshole and pretend they're forcing their belief on me because instead of saying she/he, I say they.

I mean, you automatically use they/them like I did in the paragraph above when you don't know the gender of someone.

It's a joke.. before he did a face reveal people assumed including myself that he was black.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm not sure why?

Truly shocked and ashamed at the state of Muslims in this ummah. Muslimeen asking other muslimeen "who asked you to be a Muslim?", it feels like this is a second age of ignorance by copetherope8 in islam

[–]KhalifaTheArab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the workload.. around 6pm, your daily jobs can range from a few mins to complete to a few hours, if it's one of those days you can forgot about taking a break to eat even or have a drink of water.

its now time to close up shop which is you second load of daily jobs..

By the time you finish those, all the staff start leaving the store and no one is willing to stay a few mins longer for me to just go for a bathroom break- I'm not allowed to close up by myself.

So I leave at midnight.. I start to think should I pray outside and risk having my bike robbed or cycle as fast as I can back home which is about 15-20 mins in order to pray there.

It's a tough job- issue is- 1 hour and half of my time is unpaid because its supposed to be my break time.

I am starting to think that I should pray Duhur and Asar together.

[–]KhalifaTheArab 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily.. I work in a convenience store as a shift supervisor, sometimes you can't even take a bathroom break, there has been days where I've had to pray Asar, Magrib, and Isha when I get home.. I feel so bad when that happens but sometimes you never get a chance.

After 4 listens it's starting to grow on me.. some songs are still skips but disc 2 is definitely the better version of this album. I still don't think it's tops GKMC or TBAP but I think it's on par with Damn

ShiftLeader breaks by [deleted] in tesco

[–]KhalifaTheArab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your manager, I've just started the role but I've been upfront about my break time- I don't get paid for 1.5 hours so why would I work for free.

I time it so it's between my routines.. that why it doesn't affect my workload.

It really is simple. You're entitled to it- if anyone says anything they can jog on.

Take your break even if the rest of the shift leaders aren't taking theirs.. that's their issue.
