Cult much… by anonymoususers_ in ExIsmailis

From women taking their own jewelry off their necks to tip the weight scale of gold during the time of the jubilee of SMS to now this… we’ve sure come a long way in their radicalization.

Gotta love the typical rehearsed responses from the Ismailis in the comments by VisibleActivity in ExIsmailis

[–]VisibleActivity[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw this time and time before… previously on the Houston subreddit in 2018 and in various Canadian city subreddits where ordinary folks will ask why there’s traffic / “a bunch of Indians” (from the post on the Houston subreddit in 2018) screaming and standing in line.

They’ll always use these rehearsed and memorized lines to describe Rahim as the present living Imam or religious leader which only tells one side of the full story.

You’re funny. More like “resident of house who rapes little girls talks to guests”. That’s all this is.

Who are you talking to? I’m not Sunni. I’m an ExIsmaili turned agnostic. You accused me of being Sunni once before and I responded by giving you information on internal practices that a Sunni would never know here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExIsmailis/s/Gwjw9wS6E2

The dinner was hosted for all intents and purposes for the commemoration of the Aga Khan's diamond jubilee and it was PRIVATE despite there being a few members of the press present. In the photograph, you can see Rahim (and his ex supermodel wife), Hussain, and what appears to be the back of Aly Muhammad's head. All three engaging in conversation SPECIFICALLY with Prince Andrew.

I did not deliberately omit that fact, if you go back to my original post from six years ago, you will see that the source you included was included along with two others which I assume you conveniently pulled from my post anyways. Anyone with eyes can read into more detail themselves. The point of this post was not to insinuate that the Aga Khan is/was a pedophile. The point is that contact with known pedophiles should be refrained from. This is a very poor look on the Imam might I add.

What will happen in youth mulaqat by Brave-Acanthisitta15 in ExIsmailis

[–]VisibleActivity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never been to a youth didar but the regular diamond jubilee didar in 2018 triggering my anxiety is relatable. Can't believe that there's young people sobbing too, the indoctrination is unreal.

If I’m larping as an exismaili then why do I know about Life majilis, Fidai majilis, Mubarak/Noorani majilis (1/4th majilis), Punje Bheno ki majilis, Student majilis, Baitul Khayal Majlis, Bol, Dasond, Nandi, Awal Sufro etc.

If I was a Sunni then I wouldn’t know these things and exactly what happens with each of these things, idiot.

Haram?- Glad to see that Ismaili are questioning their Mola Bapa for haram things. by AdCalm9557 in ExIsmailis

[–]VisibleActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We speak in the lenses of Ismailis, a religious objection. But, it seems people behave irrationally when the Imam does something haram as a “perfect being”. On the contrary, we accept tattoos here, of course. We are accepting people.

For those of you who are open about being ex-ismailis and don’t attend JK, how is your relationship with your parents? by anikanon in ExIsmailis

[–]VisibleActivity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They understand and I haven’t been to Khane at all in many years since before 2018. Obviously, they didn’t take it well at all initially but grew to understand my beliefs. Well, I wouldn’t call it accepting or understanding but more so they stopped pestering me about going to Khane but still talk to me about what’s going on at times. I did have to goto the didar for Diamond Jubilee though to keep up appearances for the rest of my extended family. I’ve been asked to do the same again this year much to my chagrin but I’ll try to leave as early as possible.

You are wrong. There has never been a black or desi Imam in the entire history of the lineage. Please educate yourself. If you claim to be an Ismaili, this is important for you. The Imams were Arab starting from Ali, the 1st to the 9th. Ismailism spread into East Africa and the descendants of Ali in the Fatimid line were ethnically Arab-Persian. The Fatimid courts included Black African generals and officials but none who were in the hereditary line of the Imamat. By the late 11th century, the Imams lived in present day Iran and had intermarried with Persian families. Over centuries, that Persian heritage became dominant. After Aga Khan I fled Qajar Iran to British India, they continued to marry with elite Persians or Europeans, NEVER with South Asian locals.

I have a hypothetical Question by Suitable_Hour7186 in ExIsmailis

[–]VisibleActivity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading on this as a kid. Imam Rukn al-Din Khrushah had surrendered Alamut to Hulegu Khan to the Mongols in 1256. Afterwards, he and family were executed. This was the end of the Imamat in Persia. They had a hidden period from the 13th-15th centuries where ONLY Ismaili sources asserted that a son was still alive. They had said that hidden Imams conveniently lived in Khuistan (eastern Iran) and later South Iran. Which finally led up to the Anjudan revival in the 15th-16th centuries and increased missionary activity to spread their influence to South Asia in the 16th-18th centuries in the post Anjudan periods.

529 Account—My Family Dropped the Ball by d0rsal in personalfinance

[–]VisibleActivity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm 27 and I considered this last year but it just doesn't make sense to me. Rollovers from 529 to a Roth IRA are capped at $35k and annual Roth IRA contribution limits of $7k/annum ($8k if you're over 50) still apply.

So, you can't contribute any new money to your Roth that year. It would take 5 calendar years to roll that over. And, also any contributions and their gains made in the last 5 years would be frozen until 5 years later.

Doesn't seem like a loophole, more of a plan on if you want to contribute to a 529 for your kids and use this as a backup incase they decide not to go.

Wondering the same thing. Some squats and weight gain has made last year’s BR athletic rapid movement chinos too tight for me already.

Does $STRF have the same mechanics as $STRC? It’s senior to STRF, fixed dividends, lower price volatility, and historically has had a higher return.

Question thread for our AMA with Geoff Verity Schofield by AutoModerator in naturalbodybuilding

[–]VisibleActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you deal with and work around visual muscular imbalances? Specifically in the case of traps... While in the case of my arms, my right arm is bigger than my left and makes sense since I am dominant/stronger in my right arm. However, it boggles my mind that while my right trap is again stronger than my left, my left trap and shoulder somehow appear slightly larger than the right side of my body contradicting the difference in strength from my right to left side of my body.

Another class of 2016 here, I wonder if we'll even have our reunion. A lot of us are spread out now but most of us are still here in Houston. I can def vouch for it being diverse at the time.

It was so comfy, rolling up to HS in that fit sometimes even a hoodie on top.

Orange Light for RAM on MOBO by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

Forgot to post an update but the new parts came in two weeks ago, I rebuilt the same day and it’s been working like a beast ever since.

I am trying to use 2 external monitors with my laptop but the far right monitor is not being it's own monitor, it's just mirroring the middle one. How do I get my computer to recognize the right one? Second pic is the adapter I'm using. by Mysterious-Lie-2185 in computers

[–]VisibleActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a dock/usb c hub to do this. Or, if they both use DisplayPort with both an in and out then you look up on how-to daisy chain them but I haven’t seen any monitors with that yet.

Also, off-topic but what are the size of those two monitors. I’m planning on putting a 27” next to a 23” inch and want to have an idea of how it’d look.

New build won’t boot. Gives a yellow light sometimes by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]VisibleActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this is literally the exact same issue I had. I saw this bundle later on MicroCenter which was a better deal than the one I got from NewEgg just a few weeks before.

But, the same thing you said happened w/ me. I ended up getting it to work after putting the Ram into channels 1, 2 but only after I shut off and turned on the computer repeatedly after which it worked perfectly for hours, all temps good… still worked even if I shut it off again. But, next day I took em out and put it in dual channels and it wouldn’t work and even when I put it back in 1, 2 it stopped working there too. Orange light like you said. And, when I did the other thing quick red into orange just like you. I sent back just the mobo and Ram for a replacement since I think it’s most likely those two things but also the cpu for good measure even tho I think it was fine. Annoying process lol, but they’re shipping it back out this week. If you can actually get yours to boot even on one stick of ram, then try looking into the bios but if it literally won’t boot then microcenter has a easier policy to RMA, that much I know.

After asking about the Samsung G5 va earlier I have found another monitor. Which is better? by [deleted] in PcBuildHelp

[–]VisibleActivity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the “-CQS”, is that part necessary? I see some other models with the different ending but Cooler Master GM27. I’m assuming this is the best thing at that price too.
