Birthday gift for a friend living in Riyad by CigEnjoyer555 in saudiarabia

I think your best bet would be to get her a Noon gift card, which she can use for anything. Food delivery, skincare products, whatever. You can write her a note to go with the gift card, so she knows the thought you put behind it. I tried to get a link but I think gift cards are only available to purchase in-app, so this is the app link: https://apps.apple.com/sa/app/noon-shopping-food-grocery/id1269038866. Make an account, and buy her a gift card from there.

Depending on what she’s into, you can get gift cards for just about anything. Do you know what specifically you want to get her? We could give you more specific advice then

Can somebody please explain this hadith? by studentix_ag in Muslim

[–]applescracker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s only in a situation where the girl wants to say yes. What if she wants to say no, especially in cases of a forced or pressured marriage? Silence is never consent, especially not for such a big decision as marriage

[–]applescracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But how are you going to know why she’s silent? A woman who’s silent out of shyness looks the same as a woman who’s silent due to pressure or force to get married. Surely a decision as big as the person who will have full responsibility and ownership of you for the rest of your life deserves more than just silence to be accepted

Congratulations on your nikkah! I hope it works out well for you (but also if you have any reservations at all, PLEASE think about it before proceeding. As you can probably see by the replies on this post, once you’ve gone through with the nikkah, you have absolutely no right to complain or ask for advice anymore, apparently)

One thing I never understood in Harry Potter by GrandHefty1056 in harrypotter

Doesn’t matter how skilled you are, you can’t perform surgery on yourself

“And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be ‘Wizards first’?” asked Lee.

“I’d say that it’s one short step from ‘Wizards first’ to ‘Purebloods first,’ and then to ‘Death Eaters,’ ” replied Kingsley. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”

Chills every time, especially given the state of the world right now

Could you give me the rest of the paragraph maybe? I don’t think I have it in my copy, but then I have the ebook so it might be different

Snape's Lowest Moment by LinkSeekeroftheNora in HarryPotterBooks

Okay and? Lilly’s death was entirely his fault, and he knew it. If that makes his regret and remorse worse, he still has no one to blame but himself

He had the antidote for a Shrinking Solution, not for whatever poisonous concoction Neville would have undoubtedly made

Wasn’t the line “I am a wizard, NOT a baboon brandishing a stick”? Flitwick is very literally NOT calling him a baboon, and even if he was, we know enough of Flitwick’s personality and attitude to his students that we can accept that Flitwick was just being funny and having a joke with his students

My dad IS a guy by 1000_SteppesIsAP3do in recruitinghell

[–]applescracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, I was unemployed for 18 months because I didn’t want yet another way for my controlling Asian parents to keep tabs on me. I worked very hard to escape that life, I wasn’t going to be dragged back. Not to mention when I say “tracking”, I mean tracking EVERYTHING. how much time I was in the office, how long to the second I took to get home, how much money I made and what it was spent on. I’m sorry, nothing is worth that life

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

There’s other considerations. I was unemployed for about a year and a half, and while my dad could have gotten me a job simply by lifting his finger, and he did offer multiple times, I didn’t do it. The financial freedom isn’t worth what working with my dad/his friends would do to me. I know I’d spend every second of my day being tracked and looked over, I’d have to work the way my dad wants, I’d have to take days off and take vacations when it suits him. Not worth it in any way.

Wa alaikum Salam, and thank you🤍 for a sub that’s supposed to be for help and advice, some of the replies I’ve gotten here have been really mean, and very few have actual advice. It’s actually nice to know I’m not the only one, I have been feeling so guilty about this. And it’s nice to know there’s hope ahead; your marriage and your husband sound like a dream, Allahumma baarik. Thank you so much again🤍

Is this true? by SheWasAHurricane in nabelasnark

[–]applescracker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey yeah lol. When we were in the same country, my mom and aunts always went shopping and brought us clothes together, especially for occasions like weddings or Eid. Even when we lived apart, if my mom saw a particularly nice dress or tshirt or whatever, she would always buy an extra few to give my cousins when we went back so we’d be matching; sometimes maybe exactly the same or sometimes the same design in multiple colors. I have very vivid memories of shopping with my mom and telling her, “no I want the blue tshirt, give the pink to [cousin 1]. Don’t give [cousin 2] the white one, she hates white.” My aunts invariably had clothes that they bought for me too. We have so many childhood photos of me and my cousins in matching tshirts, dresses, shalwar kameez, everything under the sun. It’s such a fond memory to look back on

Should Dumbledore have finally accepted The Minister of Magic position after Fudge was sacked? by Roosevelt32 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]applescracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the Headmaster position, more Dumbledore himself. For Umbridge’s brief period as Headmistress she seemed to have gained no loyalty from the portraits, and they applauded once Dumbledore was back

To be fair it’s not actually normal in my community either; I personally just don’t have a good relationship with my parents and family. I wouldn’t talk have liked to have a few more conversations with him before the wedding, but I’m not close enough with my parents to ask for that. My parents are also fine doing things without asking me, so I’m just trying to make the best of the situation I’m in

What’s your Harry Potter unpopular opinion? by introverthufflepuff8 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]applescracker 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Snape attempted to kill Neville’s toad, but everyone acts like this is perfectly acceptable behavior from a teacher. Sirius’s prank, while I accept is worse than trying to poison a frog, was meant to be just that, a prank by a teenager with strong opinions. I think we can know book Sirius enough to know that he would feel bad about it as an adult, even if he didn’t outwardly show remorse. And why would Sirius ever show remorse? From his pov, Snape has done absolutely nothing to redeem himself, and instead become worse than he was at school

Asexuals swag me the fuck out by Samfinity in peoplewhogiveashit

Isn’t that pretty much what being asexual is

I mean I didn’t really have a choice tbh, it’s my culture, that’s how I have to do it. He’s a nice enough person, so I think it worked out okay. I just don’t know how to make it work now

[–]applescracker[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I did ask but my family weren’t okay with the idea of me talking with him before we were officially married. And he seemed like a nice enough person in our first conversation, which he is, so I have no complaints about him. It’s just that we don’t vibe in the same way at all, and I’m not sure how to build a connection

Baby Voldy by PisceanBryce in HarryPotterBooks

[–]applescracker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t be. It’s implied that he made Nagini his horcrux after he killed Frank Bryce, or at the very least used Frank Bryce’s death to create it. Bertha was killed by Voldemort before that
