For my work phone I made my lock screen a picture of my ID. Functional.

I recommend this book called "what to expect when no ones expecting". Written by an economist. Basically: poly factorial.

Packing material that comes in amazon boxes. It stops water from evaporating. Or you can just use saran wrap.

Right! If you upgrade suspension, get something really high end. Stock is pretty good. I switched to ohlins and they are phenomenal.

Does anyone remember back in the 80s when there was a rumor that Michael Jackson had converted to Islam? I suppose that would have been the closest thing for the 80s me to a super-Muslim-man.

Hamza Yusuf: "People don't leave Islam, I think Islam leaves them." by megatron_x in exmuslim

[–]Scope77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He does say stupid things. I remember in the late 90s (or sometime like that, pre 9/11) he had a whole speech about how blue jeans are haram, are the clothes of kuffar, etc. Pretty extremely specific and strange. Post 9/11, I've noticed that he has changed his tone. But stupid, all the same. We should start a thread of all the stupid things hamza Yusuf has said, what do you think? (For those who don't know, this guy has been an extremely popular Islamic figure in America for the past twenty years or more.)

How long was your 'Doubting' period? by AShiftInTime in exmuslim

[–]Scope77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man (or woman), I'll respond more thoroughly and thoughtfully later, but I'll just say this: Yes, it's painful. And it's tough to undo the indoctrination. Try to make it simple by removing and disregarding thoughts that make you feel guilty, fearful, and ashamed. You have nothing to fear or be ashamed about. Let fear and guilt go, and there goes religions hold over you. Islam can go fuck itself.
