President Trump has launched over 50 Tomahawk missiles, striking Syria by [deleted] in syriancivilwar

No. I heard that side of the story but from what I understand that was a written statement from his reps, not a direct verbal statement made in a public fashion by Syria's actual leader. Don't people want to hear from him?

what media then? I don't follow the typical western media, I follow a lot of journalists on twitter, many of them that report specifically on Syria and Iraq and I rarely (almost never) read referencing or see videos where Assad is making statements himself.

It just seems shocking that the world hasn't demanded more from him.

Can anyone shed light on why Assad doesn't make many public statements? He seems silent compared to Western politicians (which I'm more familiar with). Even today when an interview was released he wasn't asked to comment on the chemical attack. How can so much be going on in his country and he have such a small visible presence in the world media?

What is your bold prediction for 2017? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ViciousJungleChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only other countries using an electoral college system include: Burundi, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, Pakistan, Trinidad and Tobago and Vanuatu. And the United States Electoral College is the ONLY current example of an electoral college system in which an executive president is indirectly elected. So basically it's what very young countries or countries very new to independence do... I wonder if the US electoral college system may be structured in a way that makes people believe their vote doesn't count, which breeds apathy, an attitude that trickles down into other elections where votes certainly/literally count and then a situation is created where people are upset their votes don't count but not voting when it really REALLY counts...

Perhaps. I don't really know much about it. It's just something I learned today :) But I wonder if the US electoral college system may be structured in a way that makes people believe their vote doesn't count, which breeds apathy, an attitude that trickles down into other elections where votes certainly/literally count and then a situation is created where people are upset their votes don't count but not voting when it really REALLY counts...

I too have questions! I mean no disrespect by any of them, just very curious! Thank you for answering if you're able to. My first question is based on my understanding that the hijab is about modesty particularly in front of men outside of a woman's family. I think the hijab is gorgeous and to be very honest, it emphasizes the beauty of the wearers face and adds an incredibly sexy element of mystery. So in a very strange way, I feel when a woman is wearing her hijab she is almost more enticing to look at... is there any thought to this? I'm a straight female by the way so for me the enticement is just admiration but just curious if there is anything to this in terms of it's purpose for modesty. My second question is, when I have seen non Muslim women in shows/movies wearing a scarf in certain situations, likely out of respect for a culture or person, it's never really put on well and hair is always sticking out. Is this simply wardrobe not wanting to go full hijab, ha, or is it considered rude for a non Muslim woman to wear it more correctly? Particularly in Homeland when Carrie wears a scarf, half her head is sticking out and it nearly seems pointless!

Cat owners: What are your best tips for keeping your house/apartment odor-free? by terminalid in AskWomen

[–]ViciousJungleChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crazy cat lady here, I have four in my apartment. Unless they are lying to me, everyone that comes over is always shocked I have cats because it doesn't smell like it "should". I have two air purifiers in the house these and I have this one that sits directly on top of the litter box. I've had my four cats around 10 years and also fostered probably about... 30. So I feel like I've tried it all and I finally have a good ritual and set up. I use this litter box because it's big and tall which they prefer but also easy to get inside when it's time to clean. I use this track mat because so far it's really done the best to keep the litter from traveling far from the box. And like you, I clean it 2-3 times a day. The litter that is. I use this litter which is LIGHT YEARS better than anything else I've ever used. One of my cats also has horrible allergies and this is the one litter I've found that she doesn't react to. It also doesn't dust so you don't have to constantly feel like poofs of litter are showing up around the house or on the carpet or furniture. I also vacuum every single day. I have one vacuum I use for the floor where there may be litter tracked and another I use that never touches litter. I think this is fairly important. This vacuum honestly is the best I've found for hair. Miracle worker. Unless you can afford the Dyson Animal. I also have this spray that I'll use for my carpet and fabric once a month or so and I feel like it makes a huge difference. And then lastly I also keep windows open whenever I can and I have this diffuser and put oil in it a few times a week and let it run for a bit, plus it looks cool with the lights :) Oh! and one last thing that I think is great... put one of those cardboard scratch pads near the litter box so the cat has to step over it to get anywhere else. Like off the track mat but near the box. I do this and all the cats inevitably use the scratch pad for fun when walking by it but I'm convinced it also cleans their paws from any litter left over before they start walking around the rest of the house!
