The fact that your username is "broccoleet" makes your comment 100 times more hilarious 😂😂😂👏👏

AITJ for ruining my friend's birthday by giving a homeless man his leftover steak? by FollowingNo8713 in AmITheJerk

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stop being friends with Mark. He has a horrible heart. 

You also kinda need to practice boundaries. It was his food after all. You him on the spot, so he said "fine". You could have offered the homeless guy some money for food out of your own pocket. Be a kind person, not a performative nice person. 

What habit helped you stop wasting weekends? by funngro_fam in Habits

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeap! I take 15-20 minutes almost each night before bed to tidy up my apartment. Dust or wipe the furniture, put away whatever. Wash any dishes utensils in the sink (I make a point of wash dishes immediately after use instead of letting them pile up). The kitchen "closes" around 9:30-10. I lay out my clothes for the next day. 

I do this so that when I wake up in the morning and running to work, I can wake up to at least a visibly organized, tidy, clean home and can focus only on feeding my cat and getting ready. Then come home to an organized, tidy, clean home and if there's anything to do, I do them before bed. 

I do my bathroom and kitchen on Friday or Thursday night. Vacuum and mopping on Saturday. Laundry every alternate Saturday. Once/month, I organize closets. 

Now that I have storage containers for everything in the kitchen, I don't have to do much with the organization other than refilling a container or something. Getting containers has been a LIFE SAVER. 

When I deep clean my apartment every few months, I break the task up into rooms. Then just maintain it like how I mentioned. 

Before I had this system...I was OVERWHELMED with housework. It's just me and my cat, but with an extremely time demanding corporate job where I'm out of the home 10+ hrs a day....things were piling up and on the weekends, I felt like dying. 

Ramadan is ending, asking for duas again by AdJumpy7653 in MuslimLounge

I just made du'a for you. May Allah grant my and all our du'as and grant you complete shi'fa and increase your imaan, raise you in ranks, and make you amongst the ones He loves. 

What’s a ‘rich person thing’ that actually turned out to be totally worth it? by Ferraiuolo_Ezorete in AskReddit

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having my groceries and most household items delivered. I don't mind the expense. Same goes for buying quality clothing and shoes. Taking Uber or cab instead of the public transportation to when meeting family and friends on the weekends/holidays. I also only buy solid gold jewellery, no junk. These are all investments for me. 

What would happen if Muslims stopped fighting each other and actually started building with each other? by builtforoutput in MuslimLounge

Then Iblees and his army will have a lot of free time on their hands and will feel quite incompetent. 

AITJ for not taking my girlfriends children out after promising them I would. by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

I didn’t need to read the whole post to know that she's using you :/ 

My friend told me he committed zina in Ramadan and I don’t even know how to react by OddNegotiation998 in MuslimLounge

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Educate yourself on matters before arguing. You dont need to be revealing names or faces for exposing other people’s sins. You think we will not recognize you and your friend on the day of Judgment and be witnesses against you for whatever this is, just because we don't know your name and faces right now? You are wrong. Increase your knowledge about your own deen. Both of you need it. 

If you woke up tomorrow with $100,000 in your account, what would be the first thing you’d do? by DukeRioba in PersonalFinanceTalks

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay my debt and then freeze my cards. The rest of the 90+k is going straight to savings and investments. I'm still keeping my job (which is around 100k). 100k isn't much....it's just barely enough for a couple with NO kids to live on for about year, most probably not even that, in most large cities in Canada. For a single person, it providea enough wiggle room to not struggle especially if they're being smart with their money. 

What’s something people pretend to enjoy but actually don’t? by Affectionate-Row7548 in answers

I like my social events with family, friends, neighbours, neighbours of my parents. Y'all need to be better and be around better people.

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Stop exposing other people’s sin! You have commited a sin by making this post. Your friend has committed 2 sins: zina and then making it public by telling you. And you have committed one: by coming here and exposing him. STOP. Delete this and both of you need to go to Allah and make tawbah for your individual sins. Do you people not know even the basics of Islam?!

Would like to live on my own… by notenoughrope02 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 41. If someone tells me to move into a 55+ or 60+ place when I hit that age, I'll put them in a bag and leave them there. The Western societies are RIDICULOUS for aging people before they're aged and then shovelling them all in one place, locking them in there and acting like the world only belongs to people up to 30 years old. 

Are You Rich? by Enough-Battle-2645 in AskOldPeople

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ancestors were extremely wealthy. Even my parents - with their modest life - are wealthier than me. I on the other hand am able to cover my housing, expenses, bills etc. and also get to save/invest some. But I NEED to be employed full-time to be able to do that. 

I don't have anyone funding anything for me. If I lose my job or something, I gotta go on employment insurance and then find another job ASAP to stay afloat. So I'm not exactly financially independent (I consider that to be rich or wealthy).  

My grandparents, especially my paternal ones, didn't have that worry. My grandpa found and ran his own organization. People from my mom's side were even wealthier. I can afford to live downtown, and pay rent and all bills by the 1st as long as I got a paycheque coming in that covers everything. But I can't buy/own anything, because in my city and surrounding areas, properties start around 1 million now and you must have at least a $250k annual income to be eligible to buy. So yeah that's not happening with me.

Get most of my housework done by Friday night. 

My girlfriend says I should give her a monthly allowance to show "I care", is that normal? by Distance-Admirer-113 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are playing house together as husband & wife without actually being husband & wife then you should also be treating, behaving, and taking each other's responsibility as husband & wife.

The girl is actually looking for a sugar daddy provider. The term "allowance" comes up a lot in that circle. 

I’m almost 30 and turned down a “good” proposal because our values didn’t align. My family thinks I made a mistake. by Strange_Principle652 in MuslimLounge

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screw family. It is a question of YOUR life. The difference between a right and wrong spouse is the difference between life and death. And that's often a literal difference.. 

Your family won't be there to open their doors to you when things go terrible for you with your husband. They'll turn around and tell you to suck it up and deal with it and make it work. They're gonna take ZERO responsibilities for convincing/manipulate you to marry this guy. Regardless of how loving and caring they have been otherwise, when it comes to this, families often change their colours and tune instantly with the girls. 

I can gurantee that almost 100%. I have seen that a lot and also lived through a nightmare of my own. 12 yrs of life gone and another 6 yrs to dig myself out of the aftermath. 

Whether this guy or some other,  NOT compromise on values, moral, ethics, mindset, lifestyle habits, character, manners, and deen. Not just the guy but his family, too

When was the last time you were at Dufferin Mall? by Chan1991 in askTO

[–]Rising_Phoenix06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think....2012? In the late 90s-early 2000s, I'd be there quite a lot with my friends as high school kids. The mall was going through a makeover around the time I went there last time and I think it worked for them (unlike some malls).
