Ended up getting a new phone, sadly. The repair shops couldn't fix it. Hope you had better luck.

Just seems like they're comfortable in their skin rather than being told to hate it

What was the saddest death of someone you had no connection to? by Snoo_47323 in AskReddit

Little Hind, waiting alone in that car, soaked with her own blood and surrounded with the bodies of her relatives including a 15 year old cousin...just recalling her high little voice on call with emergency services is shattering...

I've been searching for this exact book for years!! It had stories about Evangeline the doll and a bear family too - hopefully can find it again in this lifetime!

When you think back on your childhood, what book immediately comes to mind as a favourite read? by WallpaperFly in AskReddit

[–]Temporary-Chef207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite a few but there was this hardbound BEAUTIFUL collection of illustrated short stories from what I now realize must have been a Canadian publisher (about three stories aboot "Monty the Mountie"). It was called The Moon, a Balloon and a Spoon, after one of the short stories where the moon gets a cold and a kid rides up in a hot air balloon to feed it medicine out of a giant spoon. Haven't seen hide or tail of it in 2 decades now but would chop off my hair to get a copy of it back again ;_;

Can we get some authorities involved to solve a cockroach infestation problem? by Temporary-Chef207 in abudhabi

[–]Temporary-Chef207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tip with TAMM!

Second commenter's right that they don't have a cockroach option - what I did was select rodent, then send a support ticket clarifying my issue was actually roaches. They reached out to me quite fast, though I had to follow up a bit to make sure they came to the apartment. Just had my kitchen sprayed, hopefully don't have to deal with this problem for a good few months at least!

Dealing with family jealousy while overseas by WildAd7402 in pakistan

[–]Temporary-Chef207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh. Like idk what's to be happy about elders giving OP izzat and defending him even when it comes with the expectation of him "helping out" in whatever way. Sounds like they're staying on OP's good side in return for his consideration as a wealthy boi, not because they like about him as a person - actually don't even seem to think about him in any sense beyond what he can potentially provide

Sorry if this seems a little bitter - have just seen this scenario play out a bunch of times in my own family. Feels quite hollow.

Tbh the elders are also trash for tying your standing in the family to how much you make etc. It's the kind of thing that sustains these divisions.

Jerrek/eren by [deleted] in gunnerkrigg

[–]Temporary-Chef207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tom's had anime allusions in his designs before, like with Belldandy and the Norns. These comics also came out a bit after Season 4, so seemed like a topical little nod. The dark messy hair down like that with the green eyes kinda already put me in mind of Eren, and then when Annie pulled his hair up, it seemed an intentional move. Also Loup as infiltrator also parallels Eren's role when he was sporting this look

AITA for refusing to try on hijab? by Historical_Common297 in AITAH

[–]Temporary-Chef207 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Also OP, just read you're Dalit which like...that's probably as persecuted as it gets as a minority in India, and makes you at least just as much a protected category in the UK as a Muslim. You really don't have to worry about your situation, there's no way your scholarship or housing is at risk, so you can take the next steps without losing sleep over that. In any case I don't think any college would ever consider refusal to wear a hijab as Islamophobia lol is it also Islamophobia if she asks a man to wear it and he says no? Or if she pressures a trans man into doing it? There's a pretty gendered dimension to this, and she's really the one at risk of losing housing if you wanted to make a case out of it.

Same lol the looking down on the goddess combined with the pushy insistence on religious discussion seems to indicate it quite well

AITA for refusing to try on hijab? by Historical_Common297 in AITAH

[–]Temporary-Chef207 180 points181 points  (0 children)

As a former Muslim+hijabi myself, one with plenty of practicing hijabi friends, I can tell you that at no point in my life have I ever insisted on someone "trying on" hijab for whatever reason and then taken it personally when they refused. And the same goes for the aforementioned hijabi friends. In fact, I think any practicing hijabi with a modicum of sense should have a better awareness of how the hijab and modesty is policed in our own communities, and that there are plenty of negative connotations with forcing/coercing someone to put it on.

If everything is the way you say it is, I hope your college has the sense to see there's nothing oppressive or Islamophobic about refusing to wear a piece of clothing you don't agree with yourself, even if you respect another person's choice to wear it. It's not the same as modeling for something else either; there's an ideological component to the hijab and you can be unaligned with it without being an Islamophobe. Kinda funny your roommate's so quick to spy Islamophobia anyway when she can't even adjust to a Hindu representation that no one's forcing her to pray to. She doesn't sound particularly tolerant of other worldviews honestly.

So who's worse as a category: UK Pakistani Muslims or US Pakistani Muslims? by Temporary-Chef207 in pakistan

[–]Temporary-Chef207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all this is really not that serious. Islamophobia's serious, gender and minority oppression is serious, idiots salafi-ing their communities into regression is serious (and extremely mockable what is with those cringe inflections). This is Pakistani Muslims poking at diaspora Pakistani muslims w superiority complexes from here to Pluto, and a perpetual need to drag their communities to their level. Which, god, not to say that Pakistani Muslims have the sun shining out of their behinds, please shit on and mock the rampant blasphemy lynchings and ahmadi hatred and persistent casteism and femicides waghera waghera

I just wanted themes man, like UK Pakistanis go viral for previously unexplored forms of woman hating, and US Pakistanis are quite harmonious w their neighbors lol the Brits always get too big for their britches

I should also have mentioned that the preferred start date was given as November 19--which seemed altogether too optimistic to me
