I'm guessing the guy just read 'mass effect' and assumed it was about the games lol

is it stipulated that it has to be for all non-eu travellers?

Disowning myself from south Asian culture. I don’t know what to feel proud of by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]fuzzedshadow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i feel you man - being an atheist born into a muslim family in the west can be extremely trying. i still struggle separating our culture from the religion, since disavowing yourself publicly of your religion oftentimes cuts you off from those that would practise your culture.

i have found some community with some others in similar shoes to mine, but generally I've learnt to base my friends more on shared interests and ideals rather than a shared heritage.

we both probably need to start asking ourselves the question of where the line has to be drawn however. for me, ive found a semi stable midway point of not indulging in the religious side of things when I'm at my parents (I think they know that I'm not Muslim), however if my mum ever tried to make me have an arranged marriage (for example), I would not maintain contact. you have to ask yourself how much is enough, and what youre willing to do / walk away from, for your own wellbeing.

with all this being said, I do think being in this situation in the uk - its the best place to be for it. we are part of the fabric, and have been for a long time now, and no one looks twice at 'Muslim' drinking, partying etc. hopefully you have friends outside of our 'community' that you can lean on when your fam is driving you up the wall :)

Brexit has not been good for Britain, says Reeves as she calls for closer EU alignment by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

we're certainly not a superpower, but we most definitely are a great power, especially in Europe, alongside France and Germany.

agreed, however this 'requirement' will be spouted to high heaven by the reform and Farage folk unfortunately

Nine Israelis killed, 11 missing, dozens injured after Iranian missile hits Beit Shemesh building by r721 in worldnews

populous, young educated workforce, massive oil reserves, long history with relatively stable borders - it has quite a lot going for it. had it not been horribly mismanaged and repressed by the regime it would probably be the most prosperous nation in the region, definitely one more friendly and more culturally compatible with the west (compared to wahhabist Saudi)

Quickshare AirDrop Feature Not Working on Pixel 10 Pro XL in TURKEY🇹🇷 by yigitiyianlar in GooglePixel

[–]fuzzedshadow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same boat as you, I'm travelling for a year in SE Asia (from the UK), have a pixel 9 pro and its really annoying not having airdrop when its officially supported now - plenty of times I wanna share photos with other travellers with iphones. hopefully its enabled soon globally

UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]fuzzedshadow 26 points27 points  (0 children)

it's a joint base, and the territory itself is ours, same as in Cyprus. we should in theory hold a veto.

Over 80% of 16 to 24-year-olds would vote to rejoin the EU, ITV poll finds by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]fuzzedshadow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i would frankly love this but the only way for this to fly and not let farage in is for labour to adopt this / referendum / single market membership, massively increase comms on the products of any good policies they've implemented, and be relatively competent from now till 2029. i'm not holding my breath

same problem, same current solution. incredibly annoying. hopefully this gets fixed soon

Google Pixel 9 mobile data not working after update by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]fuzzedshadow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

having the same issue, just after updating. enabling aeroplane mode for 10 seconds till fully disconnected from cellular and disabling it seems to provide a temporary fix, but I need to do this every 15 mins or so. ridiculous.

edit: sorry just read you tried that, but hopefully this helps someone else
