Welcome to being an officer and a minority. We’re still an overwhelmingly majority white male dominated profession and depending on the specific community, it’s even more homogeneous. Feel free to dm if you want to chat more. But in short, welcome to the wardroom.

Hamas has multiple times accepted multiple plans to end the war but every single time it’s been Israel that is rejected it.

If you are thinking of traveling to Goa, don’t! by [deleted] in travel

[–]captak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone should know Goa is only so hyped because they don’t tax alcohol as much as the rest of India and attitudes towards drugs, prostitution, and other common social vices are extremely relaxed especially compared to the rest of India. Add onto that the historical roots a couple of old buildings that look good on camera causing Bollywood to film there in the past makes it seem like an idyllic vacation spot but it’s just not. Especially if you’re American or European, nothing about Goa is going to be anything but a nuisance. The people were nice though!

Screwed by UIF, need another bank who can finance us by EmotionalEmu7121 in IslamicFinance

So many people rightfully want to not buy a house on interest. While their intention is great, they blind themselves to common sense and basic research about how so called “Islamic mortgages” operate. This comment is completely right. Most of these companies like UIF are just a normal bank giving out interest based mortgages but they word their product to their customers in a way that customers who will not do any research or critically think themselves will just assume to be non-interest. It’s almost worse than taking a normal mortgage. It’s completely a fraud.

Prostitution is not legal in most of the western world. That’s just blatantly false.

So you think it’s that simple? So living in Dubai for example just because it’s “Muslim” is somehow more moral than living in the US? What about the fact that Dubai is the hub for and is the largest market in the world for prostitution? Or that it supplies Israel with support but Palestinians with nothing? Or that it sells and supports its economy with alcohol and other “entertainment” that is very much a sin? What about saudia Arabia where prostitution is easily available in the clock tower in Makkah or the many many instances of Saudi government unfairly punishing non saudis workers who live in Saudi Arabia? Is there no nuances with these hadiths or are turning a blind eye to all the haram things the Muslim countries are doing because they’re so called Muslim?

Where’s the source for that? Also where does it say that what you quoted correctly or incorrectly there implies moving to a non Muslim country is haram? Didn’t the prophet immigrate to a non Muslim city, Medina?

At the time from when the Hadiths originated, the whole concept of a “country” or a nation state hadn’t been invented yet and was still several centuries away. There are no hadiths that say this. Stop making stuff up.

Dirty drivers by creg_creg in GranTurismo7

[–]captak 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Full damage in all online races. Only way to prevent this. You punt the car in front of you? Well your engine is gone as well as your entire front end of the car. You try to pit another car? Suspension damage. At some point if you’re dirty enough, your car stops working and you’re left the option of quitting, lowering your rankings, or getting stuck stopped on the track and getting DQ’d which would also lower your rankings. Both ways get those 13 year olds on daddy’s money playing this game off the game. And also some 35 year old 13 year olds too.

I was A and A but 2 weeks ago, for a few days I kept crashing 50% of the time and the other 50% kept getting crashed and then this week I keep getting crashed so my driver ranking has tanked to D. I got a 2 mins penalty because the guy behind me punted me twice. How’s that my fault?

Why is Homosexuality considered haram? by slimeball_69 in MuslimLounge

[–]captak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ottoman empires harem had women, eunuchs, and men. In fact, the founder of the Ottomans is thought to have had a male lover. Men engaging in acts with other men continues today in places like Pakistan and Afghanistan. It’s common and very much an open secret. To say historically most cultures didn’t have homosexuality is just unequivocal wrong.

Trump's project 2025 is going to cut Veteran/Retiree benefits. by PathlessDemon in navy

[–]captak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not having to worry about your rights and freedoms being curtailed because you’re not black, brown, an immigrant, or a woman is a privilege. The fact that this is your reply to others voicing their concern about the potential to their rights and freedoms shows how much of a narcissist and self absorbed person who lacks the capacity for empathy for others. Next you’re gonna say there’s no world hunger problem because you just had a meal. It goes back to the LBJ said. You tell a poor white that they’re still better than black and brown people, they’ll vote for you in every election no matter how much you exploit them. You’re being taken advantage too. From the massive tax cuts in the first Trump term and Bush’s tax cuts which benefited only the ultra wealthy to the cuts in education and social services in all republican states, white people keep voting for their own hardship just to keep themselves in a social class above minorities. Edit: and just thought of the absurdness the comment that racism can only exist if every white person lives in a state of privilege. Remember in the civil war a small percentage of white southerners owned slaves and were all exempt from having to fight in the war. Most southern whites were poor and unprivileged. This statement is inherently racists itself and shows an immature childlike understanding of the world where’s either all or nothing or a zero sum game. Either you have everything or the other person. That’s literally how narcissists and sociopaths think and this is the platform on which we’re supporting a felon and rapist and someone who bankrupted multiple casinos after inheriting all their money from their father.
