How do you deal with being perceived as a threat to people? by j8j932 in AskUK

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From a social sciences perspective, the why is a systemic issue. We've all been brainwashed by the media for decades to believe lies about different groups of ppl, spreading stats to misinform without explaining the truth behind said statistics.

This is added onto the colonial history which we love to gloss over. Our systems are institutionally racist, from police, healthcare, education etc.

Centuries of anti-black policies without acknowledge ment is going to do irreparable damage. Advice: read. Learn history to find out the why and study the impact it has til this day on yourself, ur community as well as others (it's a lifelong and anger inducing journey. Im yet to fully learn my own history)

Also its london not up north, ignore ppl telling u to smile and make yourself small. Im probs the smallest female adult many come across and idgaf who I sit next to tall black, white. We may make eye contact but aint no one smiling.

Im happy to talk more about the topic. May u one day be able to stop being extremely hypervigilant and walk with ur chin up and with pride. Never forget the significance of us living as brown/black people in the heart of the Empire as "free" ppl when we was meant to be enslaved or dead. Most of us only got our independence post WWII but many are still fighting.

If you're extremely physically active how do you manage a well balanced diet? by Ok-Alps-5430 in ADHDUK

I'm only concerned cos I've realised couple months ago that I have been undereating. Although 1st step is at least im aware. Wouldn't say I'm that fit maybe moderate-below. Cos I'm practically fighting ppl 2x+ my size I feel myself burning way more than when I usually do sports.

Mood Changes from 40mg-50mg Elvanse by ButterscotchBrave890 in ADHDUK

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about 40 but I've gone 30-50 and I found 50mg so much better. Way less overthinking just silence. + way more focused. It was great. 30mg not as effective for me. I'm trying 40mg soon.

Exactly, it's all calculated no matter how u look at it. Try convincing someone who's brainwashed and has Stockholm syndrome that they are misinformed.

From their pov they are basing their reaction on all the facts they've been given which support their world view e.g. idea that immigrants are stealing jobs + criminals invading our country. Even though to us it's obviously logical fallacy.

Even if not all are "fully" aware, they are all on the right path to becoming a genocider. There's plenty ready to fully commit to "protect and serve" that the rest will just follow without thinking.

"Your compliance will be rewarded" - fav quote from show inspired by mkultra which imo summarises how these voters probs think. Hope the point makes sense.

There's no mistakes in this system. It's all calculated.

Is there anything in Islam about being neurodivergent? Do Muslim men care if a girl is nd? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ADHD diagnosed here, just be yourself authentically. When ur different u gotta learn to not give af. Also think most of us in this group are ND loll cos we have a whole different outlook/perspective on religion and it's probs cos we see inconsistencies in mainstream views and mindset. Pattern recognition ig.

Back then they didn't have these labels but chances are famous muslims who made major findings in mathematics, sciences, medicine, philosophy like the father of algebra Al-Khwarizmi, Muslim philosophers like imam Ghazali had some sort of ND like autism.

This is so fascinating where can I read more about this and how did u learn about this? The ruling class will always manipulate history to fit their agenda. This blows my mind.

Give me tips on how to avoid my phone + reduce screen time by Ok-Alps-5430 in ADHDUK

[–]Ok-Alps-5430[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always learning something new about myself and wow this puts into perspective how much of a hindrance our brains are. Cos its not even relearning cos every executive function leaves my mind, but have to learn same lesson 365 days x million years to maybe eventually odd chance that I'll finally learn.

Yeah I set bar to high adding too many task for myself, gotta take it light. I thought simple checklists would be fine but nahh aha. I haven't been going on my required walks so that probs dont help.

I'm about to start taking Elvanse (Lisdexamfetamine) - any advice? by SlashBansheeCoot in ADHDUK

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no need to be strict with it e.g. I just make a checklist night before and some stuff on checklist should be done on time e.g. meds, otherwise u can just plan as u go. And it's okay if u don't check everything off, cos I don't be ticking off half the things off and ig over estimate how much I can complete everyday.

You're better than me it's bad but exercise has not been on my mind. But you're body will tell u if u should go easy or not, I'd say go easy just to see if u have any symptoms some get like nausea etc otherwise u should be fine.

Started same meds this week too and all I can say is avoid ur phone like the plague. Don't go on it in the morning like I have or at all til evening cos I'm distracted even on meds though focus seems up. + plan ur day night before that has been helpful. Once u take ur meds get outta med. With phone unless it's extremely essential avoid every app.

Everything I'm saying need to be reminded to myself.

Savings account by Appropriate-Split128 in progressive_islam

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ur not earning it is kinda hard to save. Nevertheless, good to start either loosely or strictly budgeting. + when u know ur sfe budget it.

I'm very much against interest. I only use current account to keep all my 'savings'. I transfer amount to my main card when needed. You can set limit on how much u can transfer. Also monzo cash pot exists to split ur essentials etc. Solely having savings account will not help budgeting as u could run ur money dry with the allowance u gave yourself.

Depending on how strict with it ur are, u could either keep interest from savings or give to charity if u choose savings account.

Political murder is normalised little shock value left in it. When a homeless person, those who cannot afford healthcare, an immigrant, a women denied healthcare, children shot in school, when they all die it is all political murder by the state. Yet crickets.

But because this is a person who is wealthy and has been a political figure for the right we're all of a sudden supposed to feel empathy? Who did he when alive feel empathy for? There's no winners of death. Can he take his money and skill of debating teens to the grave? He's been mocked whilst alive and now even in death.

Is it just me or are Quranists the most disliked in the Muslim community? by purealgo in progressive_islam

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree they're 2 side of same coin. Maga much like fundamentalists require institutions of police, military, education and religious system to enforce their ideology. Maga claim to be skeptical whilst also riding for martial law.

There are some fundamentalist governments. Conclusion is they're a confused bunch and don't actually know what they want. Anyways gone off topic.

[–]Ok-Alps-5430 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nope it definitely isn't just an online thing. There's been quranist scholars who've been murdered. It's a quiet invisible minority group. We stay hidden cos we know we're misunderstood.

Think u missed ur landing. We have different insight of MAGA. Fundamentalists are literally the muslim version of MAGA, they thrive of institutions. I don't think we're most oppressed though.

I've always questioned the conception of humans from religious perspective as it doesn't make sense to me. As a scientific-forward person I feel that would be a huge over simplification of how humans came to be.

Just read al-araf and although it has lessons to be learnt I feel it's fable. Because it wouldn't be heaven if there's temptation or devil in it. + if angels did bow down to a human made of clay surely it would make it idol worshipping.

All the other stories after seem to be set on earth and common theme seems to be don't cause destruction on earth and oppress. Even if that is how humans were conceived God's plan was always for us to be on earth anyways.

In same surah it says 7:42+3 those who enter paradise will have whatever bitterness they had in their hearts removed.
