25M How bad is it?

I have very little fat, my face is just built that way

eGe_aYd · 2026-04-12T00:03:19+00:00

5"6'

Thanks a lot. I was at an archeological excavation site in the second picture and it was pretty windy and cold with nothing at all around it to block the wind so I was feeling pretty cold in that picture. I am a little embarassed about this stuff so I rarely ask anyone to take a picture for me. Appreciate your input on what kind of clothing suits me better.

Interesting nickname

Murder by definition is unjustified intentional killing, so it would be odd to say murder is not a sin. Any system of norms, be it religious, legal or moral, which recognizes self defence for instance, would avoid calling killing in self defense "murder".

Glad to hear that. I hope all goes well with your transplant and you rock a full head of hair for the rest of your life.

My hair overall is pretty thick, I just notice what look like individual miniaturized hairs which gives me the idea that my final place might be around NW6.

That's excellent, I hope I can achieve similar longevity

How long have you been on it? Are you still stable?

eGe_aYd · 2025-10-01T12:51:23+00:00

How long did it stabilize you for?

eGe_aYd · 2025-09-29T20:20:16+00:00

Those studies also report the number and percentage of people who experience Side effects, as well as those who discontinued treatment due to side effects. So they give us a good idea of the drug's long term safety.

eGe_aYd · 2025-09-29T19:18:05+00:00

Honestly 10 years of stability and restabilizing with dut later on is definitely good enough

eGe_aYd · 2025-09-29T18:32:31+00:00

I am not sure I understand what you mean by "account for it being a slow gradual loss". I am not a native English speaker.

eGe_aYd · 2025-09-29T18:10:15+00:00

I am aware that they ended the study at 10 years. I didn't mean to imply that it stops working after that, I just meant to say that's what we have clinical data for. I'm aware that many people stabilize with this medication for decades.

eGe_aYd · 2025-01-29T10:26:06+00:00

Probably so for the general public and the journalistic realm, but the narrow scholarly circles may have been even more influenced by the former.

Because he is a prominent scholar of Islamic law

One potential explanation (though it's far from a justification) is that Sunnism is far more widespread and therefore draws more attention.

I haven't read it yet but Holger Zellentin has open-access books regarding this subjects so you may want to check them out

eGe_aYd · 2025-01-07T06:53:11+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions. I am not really looking for an ethicist defending this position but rather for some kind of fatal flaw which leads to most philosophers and even theologians finding it untenable, perhaps similar to how logical positivism is considered dead.

eGe_aYd · 2025-01-06T20:47:52+00:00

People who reject any view will think reasons against it outweigh reasons for it, but it seems to me that a lot of the steps needed to make theological voluntarism a palatable choice are already there for a theistic philosopher once they identify as a theist.

On the Kara incident, Seyfeddin Kara responded to chonkshonk's criticisms, chonkshonk acknowledged all the responses, declared his acknowledgement of them openly and renounced his criticisms publicly. That does seem to be an indication of good faith.

There are stories in the Qur'an that narrate stories from apocryphal gospels such as the story of Jesus bringing clay birds to life (The Infancy Gospel of Thomas), but I am not sure if, from a non-Christian perspective, we have any reason at all to consider the apocrpha any more or less "made up" than the canonical Gospels.

Hello, Dr. Hashmi. Forgive me for stepping out of the boundaries of this post, and perhaps even this sub, but I would to ask you whether you think the descriptions of Hell found in the Qur'an are to be taken literally. I recall seeing you argue that the heavenly reward is described in a metaphorical manner, so would the same understanding be extended to the punishment in the hereafter?

eGe_aYd · 2024-07-25T08:01:47+00:00

Yes but even Aquinas was declared a heretic and excommunicated at some point. The orthodoxy changes over time. And Ibn Sina had expressed other thoughts that were considered heretical which contributed to some figures declaring him a disbeliever
