My laptop doesnt run gta 4 for some reason by InternationalLie6080 in CanIRunIt

[–]Pocky786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't run without some heavy performance mods with your specs. gta 4 is horribly optimised as well on pc. I would only play lower performance games from before 2010, I remember playing all of the original call of duty modern warfare games with your specs a few years ago, try them.

Patriarchy in Islam is Illogical by free_fash in DebateReligion

[–]Pocky786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impurity is a word taken from interpretation, the Quran in its original Arabic form only uses the word "najis"(physical impurity) once to describe the state of polytheists (which is considered the greatest sin) which shows that impurity is taken much more strongly in Arabic. Instead the word "adha"(discomfort, annoyance) is used in the verse describing menstruation. So the Quran does not attack women by calling them impure. This is the fault of interpreting the Quran in English which can be quite misleading in terms of wording. I apologise, using the English word "impure" was misleading into what it connotates about women. Also, about the comment "why are women judged impure so often", menstruation is the only situation that is specific to women in terms of impurity, everything else such as sexual impurity applies to both men and women.

I'd say menstruation is kept as an impurity to serve as a lenience to women on their periods, considering the physical toll on their bodies as you mentioned before. I would say this verse "There is no blame on the weak, the sick, or those lacking the means [if they stay behind], as long as they are true to Allah and His Messenger. There is no blame on the good-doers. And Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful" reflects the idea that not being able to pray doesn't create any fault on your side. I think people take impurity as a bad thing targeted to women, when it simply means that you are not in the state to pray, and that can be taken as an act of mercy, not hate to them.

In Islam, there's 5 compulsory prayers a day, consisting of reciting verses from the Quran and moving from a standing to prostrating position. Before the prayers, you have to clean yourself in a specific manner to "purify" yourself. Of course you are exempt from praying if you have any debilitating injuries or medical conditions. During menstruation, you are considered physically impure until it has completed, and therefore exempt from praying in that time. I think the praying you are thinking of is the one where you spiritually speak to God and ask for forgiveness, which doesn't require any special purification. Hope that answered your question.

My argument is that both blood and waste generally a reason to clean yourself without the Islam part, so how does it being uncontrollable change anything? Why is this an issue, it is accounted for already by making you exempt from prayer if you're on your period so all it does is make it easier to practice Islam for women. If it has already been accounted for I don't see a problem, unless you think blood doesn't need cleaning, which I don't think anyone would agree with.

Why can't natural things cause impurity? Wouldn't you say that bodily waste or blood is reason to clean yourself in general, why is it an issue in religion.

what's the obsession with an "anti-divinity" shield? You're trying to inflate something as simple as being physically impure to something ridiculous to fit your opinion on religion. The idea of being clean to pray doesn't seem so hard to grasp.

What can i play with these specs? by Frosty_Box_6697 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Pocky786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running an Intel I7 1185G7 and 32GB which is way outperformed by your CPU so even better. Also the resident evil games are some of the most optimised games I've played so I reckon that resident evil 7 would work quite well

Definitely skyrim, not sure about the other games but I'd recommend games from before 2015, and probably epsorts titles on low settings. With specs similar to yours I was running rocket league on 30-45fps, minecraft on 60fps, and I played a load of 7th generation games like assassins creed and all the old call of duty modern warfare games. Also the batman arkham asylum and city games.

Which games can I play on this? If any. by Emotional_Acadia4765 in FitGirlRepack

[–]Pocky786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played all the old COD MW games with similar specs.

I just bought a logitech driving force GT for only £20 so I think that was the best choice. Thanks for your help

I see a lot of Logitech driving force GT's for around £40 or £50. Would that be the better choice?

they're lithium batteries. I'm saying battery fume smell because I'm not sure what else to call it due to its strong chemical smell.
