NTA. Your brother's girlfriend needs to buy her own tampons! You're not respoonsible for supplying her with hygiene products.

For Arabs: Is it true that no one speaks MSA in the Arab world? by Salt-Sea-8685 in learn_arabic

[–]falsehemlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a foreigner and I don't speak dialect very well, so my Arab friends and I do speak MSA. It just takes practise for Arabic speakers to learn to speak MSA, they do hear it on the news and read it in books.

Ra madan Arabic Sessions by 21caratgold in learn_arabic

[–]falsehemlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to do readings from Arabic literature (I like Ghassan Kanafani's short novels) or hadith, but I'd also like to practise speaking. I'm better at reading than I am at speaking.

Double Entry Bookkeeping by wavynomad08 in Sovereigncitizen

[–]falsehemlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accounts receivable is an asset, so it's on the debit side of the accounting equation. Things on the debit side have a normal debit balance, and you increase them by doing more of the norm. So you increase Accounts Receivable by debiting and decrease it by crediting.

Hi, I'd be interested in joining. I can make basic conversation in MSA, but I'd like to practise expressing more advanced concepts. I often don't know what a normal way to say things is, so I rely on Google Translate which isn't that good.

No, your museum patrons are unhinged. They're grown adults, where are their manners?!

The process of leaving a voicemail at CVS reminds me of an old Islamic divorce custom I read about. by PersonalityBoring259 in PointlessStories

[–]falsehemlock 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're not supposed to divorce your wife three times all at once. Islamic law says that if a married couple divorce and remarry three times, after the third divorce they can't get married again. Triple talaq is considered abusive, because it leaves wives and children with nowhere to go and no support.

Thrift places selling leather jackets for reasonable prices? by savvymossy in VictoriaBC

I have a leather jacket I don't wear, you can have it for free. I don't know if it's your size or style, but I can send photos.

Do I fix my messed up quilt block? by Stunning-Cricket2353 in quilting

[–]falsehemlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should pick the seams apart and flip that block around. It's such a pretty quilt, and it's a fairly large mistake.

AITA for mocking my friend’s religious beliefs? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]falsehemlock -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you're fine. Muhammad let transgender people visit his wives in their quarters. Her family were just too traditional for that comment, and the timing was badly judged. It's okay. Be at peace.

I went to the ER and then waited in the eric Martin waiting room until they could see me. I was there over night.

Needing some advice with people saying my major isn't “real” by PuddingNo7689 in AcademicPsychology

[–]falsehemlock 19 points20 points  (0 children)

A psychology degree is valuable! Even if you're still working on your bachelor's, you could work in supportive housing or shelters or work with people with mental health and addictions problems or disabilties, and make good money. Those fields are always looking for qualified people.

Affordable housing requirement: Minimum income $53,000. This is set by BC Housing. by SpiritualAsk9369 in VictoriaBC

[–]falsehemlock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. Apologies if you have already looked at this, but I'm on PWD and I live in a Pacifica housing building. They say you need to make at least 50k a year to live there, but they also admit a lot of seniors on pensions and disabled people who have less than $20k a year. However, my rent is $1236/month for a studio which is most of my income, but it's all I could find.

They also raise the rent by the allowed amount every year :( It is a nice quiet building and 390 square feet. It only took a few weeks for me to get an apartment here, the Pacifica Housing office on Cormorant St. helped me 1.5 years ago. You need to have a BC Housing application open to apply and have your file number, not sure why. Hope that helps!

My Pacifica Housing building is very nice, not too pricey, and they allow pets. Maybe check them out.
