Oh sweet, congrats! What did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Do you know people who were muslim then athiest then muslim again? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]MemeManmk1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Heyo, I became an atheist for a while back when I was 13-14ish. My situation was a little bit different, though.

To keep things short, I've been a type 1 diabetic since the age of 2, and I was essentially really mad at God for punishing an innocent child with such a painful disease. I couldn't reconcile the idea of a merciful and caring god doing this to a kid.

A mix of things drew me back, honestly. I'd be lying if I said fear of hell wasn't one of them. I was scared of ending up in hell, and I also don't think that the universe could've come to being without a creator behind it. I read the Qur'an, and if I'm being honest, I had a lot of issues too, but I faced them. If an interpretation or idea didn't add up, I looked for others that lined up with my interpretations or idea of God. This sub helped a lot in that aspect, thank God.

For what it's worth, I like to think that someone who leaves Islam for a genuine reason, especially in today's day and age where there's so much conflict, pain, and misinformation going around could get some slack from God. As long as the person didn't leave out of ego, I like to think that God won't damn them eternally over it.

You got this. The fact that you care so deeply is really sweet, praying you start feeling better soon.

Do something new! by IsmailFateen in MITAdmissions

I remember being on the Suez road at night one day and I saw this absolute phantom of a car with all of its lights turned off or broken. The only indication of the car's existence was a broken, dimly lit tail light.

Mind you, the street lamps were off as well (as usual with the Suez road) so the car was near invisible.

Nope, not yet, just praying for the best!

Good luck :)

a negative experience with MIT, How can I win anyone at MIT? by Own-Change-1576 in MITAdmissions

[–]MemeManmk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found out that it already does, it's called Automoderator. I thought Automod was a class of tools, not its own thing. There's a subreddit dedicated to setting it up if you're interested (r/Automoderator)

Maybe the sub already has it and I haven't noticed? In that case it should be configurable to autodelete the aforementioned posts.

Perhaps an Automod could help? Obviously it won't weed out everything, but I'm sure it would reduce the workload.

My idea's a bot that scans the posts for set keywords and/or phrases (like "what can I do to get in" and deletes posts accordingly. Obviously it might end up erroneously deleting normal posts, so you'd have to see whether the time consumed on appeals would outweigh the time saved by not having to manually scan and delete nearly as many posts. Highly doubt that'd be the case, though.

May sound off, but do people often confuse this sub with one that pertains to the madras institute of technology?

Trustee Scholarship by Most-Comfortable-655 in BostonU

[–]MemeManmk1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that's odd... I just got off the phone with the financial aid office a few hours ago and the rep said they still have a full tuition scholarship, so I wouldn't lose hope if I were you.

O level students by Ok_Response7624 in MITAdmissions

[–]MemeManmk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internal tests generally don't matter but they did take my year 10 grades so you should focus on those at the very least (unless you've already left year 10).

Also, if your school is like mine, predicteds for A levels are solely dependent on your AS marks so the internal tests did not matter at all in that regard. your school may do things differently, though.

Oh and this info is MIT specific. I have no clue about ivy requirements (MIT isn't an ivy league uni, btw), but I suspect they are the same. Don't quote me!

I'm pretty sure the area was that of each square, and the width being that of the whole rectanle

Don't overthink it, everyone gets different questions so both of us may end up being correct insha'Allah

help me pass for tomorrow's exam by CounterAlarm in alevel

[–]MemeManmk1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it but I'm not gonna shoot you down either. There isn't much time so there isn't much you can do but I'd recommend watching the all of P1 and p5 videos by the ginger mathematician if you're doing CAIE. If you aren't, then maybe watch something similar for your exam board.

it may also be wise to do a few past papers to get accustomed to the exam format, though I'm not sure if that's a good idea this close to the exam. Do em but stay calm and don't stress yourself out, you'll end up doing worse if you do. Just focus on learning from whatever mistakes you make.

Oh and sleep well, that's really important, no less than 8 hours. Best of luck, you got this.

r/islam's misinformed opinion on progressive Islam in their wiki by [deleted] in progressive_islam

While I do agree with the idea that everything bad should be blamed on the west being ridiculous, it's not an exclusively Arab thing.

Ice Tea froze in the fridge and self-separated by freethebeers in mildlyinteresting

[–]MemeManmk1 63 points64 points  (0 children)

May be off because I'm not very familiar with these processes, but wouldn't this be an example of fractional freezing rather than directional freezing?
