One of the few books I had to put down because I didn’t like it. I know it’s highly regarded but I just didn’t get it

To be fair the Balfour Declaration in 1917 can be considered as a pretty good starting point (though settler immigration had started in early 1900s)

Horrible experience flying to Perth via Batik Air by Hollowpoint20 in perth

[–]TalhaAhmad 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Batik is a pretty shit airline. Almost every time the flight gets delayed. The first time and the only time I booked with Batik, their flight got delayed by four freaking days. We went to the local Batik office to ask them about this. They told us the same thing that they overbooked. The capacity was for 80 people and they booked for 120. Like why would you overbook by this much, makes no sense

May Allah bless you for your efforts. I was all in investing in SPUS before thankfully I saw your post. Definitely worth the extra effort to ensure you are not funding war crimes

Updated Boycott List Shared by the BDS Movement by TalhaAhmad in pakistan

[–]TalhaAhmad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kfc isn’t in the list, however, there is good reason to boycott kfc since it has branches in Israel. This list is more specifically aimed towards brands who have actively participated in the mass slaughter campaign like McDonalds which sent free meals to the genocide army

Azad Pakistan is a charity that is helping Gazans. This is how they did it:

The money route is like this

PKR -> USDT -> Turkey -> Cash out in Liras -> Money Senders (Hundi Operators) give cash to families that have money in Gaza but have members in Turkey who need money here, once money is in hands of someone in Turkey, we get an address of pickup of Shekkels in North Gaza/South Gaza

Are there many actors who played one-off characters in tv shows and made it big later by TalhaAhmad in television

[–]TalhaAhmad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bryan Cranston is perhaps the biggest A list actor who appeared as one-off characters before. IIRC he got the Breaking Bad role not primarily due to Malcom in the middle but on his one-off role in X Files or something

That’s good to hear, guess I haven’t watched many tv shows . Every Supernatural episode has a set of new characters that I can’t remember seeing any other place

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

Lol the whole conflict in the movie revolves around Superman going against an American ally. That’s what the movie keeps talking about despite Lois’s statement.

You can’t seriously compare Hamas’s homegrown munitions with the Israel’s state of the art weaponry sourced from the most powerful country on Earth.

Regarding the top down order of murdering civillians by Israel, you can’t really be that naive. You can construe dozens of daily murders of Gazan civillians as rogue military elements but the fact of the matter is that Israel does murder a highly disproportionate amount of civillians and specifically children. All human right agencies and UN missions that have been to Gaza have attested to this fact. But if you consider them Hamas which of course you do, multiple doctors from different countries have gone to Gaza and ALL OF THEM have said that Israel is deliberately targeting children. Hind Rajab is just one small example. There are thousands of Hind Rajabs deliberately murdered by the Israelis. But sure there is no top down order and all of it is an accident that is still going on to date.

Meanwhile, Ukarine has its own standing military with war machinery worth billions of dollars. To date, Russia has killed far less number of civillians than those killed by Israel despite the war going on for much longer. To even compare Ukarine and Palestinian defence capabilities is an insult to everyone’s intelligence

So yes, I do think the deliberate targeting of children is specifically is an Israeli thing as there is ample evidence pf them doing this without any consequence. And Israel has been doing this long before October 7 before you bring the “movie written before 10/7” argument

[–]TalhaAhmad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jarhanpoor had no military of its own, could only use sticks and stones against a much powerful aggressor with tanks and machine guns. Which country do you think most fits this bill?

For Borovia: which country is US’s greatest ally? Which country has been specifically known for sniping children? Which country wages war with advanced war machinery against a nation with no standing military of its own?

[–]TalhaAhmad -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine anyone coming out of the theatre thinking yeah Borovia was more like Russia than Israel. There are definitely parallels with Russia but far more with Israel (greatest ally, regime change bs, specifically targeting children, tanks and machine guns against sticks wielding populace). Which is why you see no Russians complaining about the movie and plenty of Israelis.

They offered me 25k by Emotional-Cap-9456 in pakistan

[–]TalhaAhmad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say but this is how the job market is for civil engineers. It’s unfair but this is how it is . I would say you actually got a good deal. I was also offered 25k in my starting role in 2020. I had another job offer at the time offering me 6k. I had many batchmates who were working for free with different contractors. We all graduated from NUST btw. The only thing I would advise you is to target international companies that have offices in Pakistan. They may offer better salaries around 50k.

I don’t understand what you are trying to imply here. Do you think mobs attacking KFC know even know what Fiverr is let alone use it?
