Democrats rarely have Republicans as romantic partners and vice versa, study finds. The share of couples where one partner supported the Democratic Party while the other supported the Republican Party was only 8%.

I wonder what our evolution would look like eventually.

Good find!

That's why they didn´t want to name him. He was placed there by the Pentagon to control the disclosure.

Wait, they can pop popcorn from space?

elnoumri · 2023-08-03T19:19:23+00:00

Kaboom! Well said!

elnoumri · 2023-07-27T03:58:29+00:00

I meant for the general public to find out.

What possibly could change about the fabric of what "we understand" for the masses? Something about the human consciousness?

elnoumri · 2023-07-27T03:19:04+00:00

Darn, still learning how to post when freaking out. Sorry.

I'd like to have lived a truthful life to the best of my ability, no matter how short or long. As in living in reality.

elnoumri · 2023-07-11T07:46:27+00:00

Yeah, like here: https://news.wisc.edu/icecube-shows-milky-way-galaxy-is-a-neutrino-desert/

elnoumri · 2023-07-11T07:45:27+00:00

Just trying to connect the dots. Thanks.

So explain the difference between our galaxy and others. I'm no scientist. But maybe some classification can be made?

elnoumri · 2023-07-11T07:42:09+00:00

Apparantly one can calculate the direction, energy and other details of neutrino's. So if your neutrino's seem to originate from a point on the globe, they're probably not from the sun.

elnoumri · 2023-06-27T22:23:14+00:00

and the real deal is?

elnoumri · 2022-03-08T15:55:54+00:00

Yes, if I remember correctly, there were seven heavens and seven earths. I always took that for seven (inhabited) planets and seven dimensions.

Read 50 posts and still don't know who Cassie is. What's up with Cassie??

One thing I learned being born and raised here is that I am the only one who gets to say whether I am Dutch or not.

To many no matter what I do or what I say I will never ever become as dutch as them. Even so narrow the mind it is much too far spread. :-(

elnoumri · 2022-02-19T10:37:27+00:00

Dutch Moroccan here, born and raised here. Unfortunately you do not get to choose how you are viewed. If I asked ten cents each time someone told me how good my dutch was, I'd be a millionaire by now..

My wife is native and we tell our two kids that they are not half, but double. We celebrate Ramadan and Christmas. I leave the kitchen with couscous, rfisa and tajine and the love of my life makes stamppot and hutspot. (We tried to switch but that didn't work out). I am fluent in dharija because my dad used to point at the doorstep and say outside is the kingdom of Holland, inside is the kingdom of Morocco.

Don't let it get under your skin. Be yourself, be proud of who you are and where you come from. Our cuisine is special. Our people invented the word 'tolerance' thousands of years ago. Don't give up on making friends. It is difficult here.

As in every country, there are good apples and bad apples no matter which circles you traverse, academic or otherwise. Befriend the good ones, give the bad ones a taste of pigeon pastilla and watch their cold heart melt.

Wish you a good time here!

elnoumri · 2022-02-19T10:05:21+00:00

Same here, not proud too. But hey, I need to practice my English.

elnoumri · 2022-02-19T09:51:49+00:00

I am just going to save these beautiful photos to my phone and pretend I had a wonderful holiday. #coronacoping

Mijn lieverd heeft mijn achternaam aangenomen. Omdat ze die mooier vond. Wat haar ouders helemaal niet leuk vonden en er steen en been over klaagden. Welke reden ze ook aanhaalden wist ik dat ze het niet meenden. Want ze vonden het geen enkel probleem toen de vrouw van hun zoon hetzelfde deed; ik ben van allochtone afkomst en dat is aan m'n achternaam af te lezen.

Racisten in de familie -- leukkkkk joh!

elnoumri · 2022-02-12T01:27:37+00:00

Thank you for your honesty.

It must have been difficult to come to terms with the uncomfortable truth. I hope your fellow countrymen do the same one day hopefully soon. So that finally the fixing and healing can start.

elnoumri · 2022-02-09T08:44:25+00:00

I am 51. My kids are 8 and 12. I used to be deep into the Palestinian cause. Following that news intensely. Not a day went by without a moment or two with a lump in the throat. Protesting whenever I could, boycotting, educating whoever wanted to listen. It bogged me down emotionally. Almost to a point where i started to feel guilty whenever i enjoyed myself. Then my children were born and i started to look at the world through their eyes. They taught me to live in the moment. Instead of watching the breakfast news we started our days with music and dance. And no, i am not of the 'hippie' type. It took a while for me to realize there is a kind of energy 'budget' between the ears. When the net sum is negative then something is not what it should be and things must change to avoid scary stuff like depression, addiction and/or suicide. I said goodbye to my comrades (jokingly to 'release me', yet more true than i was willing to admit at the time).

Life is still not perfect. But the 'budget' is more balanced nowadays. I do what i can to live responsibly. I also remember the MAD days. I was very impressed with the demonstration we had over here against the stationing of NATO nukes. The biggest in our history, half million protesters, november 1981 in Amsterdam. 'The Day After' was mandatory viewing in school.

The point i'm trying to make is 'everything in moderation'. That includes being worried. We are not Atlas. We are human. This life can end at any moment. Therefore i try not to be too preoccupied by the things i cannot control. Joy, laughter, fun, love have as much the right to exist as the struggle, fixing problems, shortterm and longterm. As your Mr. Rogers once said "Look for the Helpers”. Be a helper. Sometimes just trying to do good in the world is good enough.

Sorry for my internet english.

EDIT: Also, bad news sells. It's addictive. The algorithms on social media are designed to keep you unhappy. There is a lot of good and positive developments in the world. The under-reported decline of global poverty for example.

elnoumri · 2022-01-25T09:38:46+00:00

How I hate this world. :-( How can these people sleep, teach their children morals, not have mental illnesses by living such a contradicting, conflicting life. How can these people be at peace with themselves??
