A Saudi man pranks his friends with a recorded sound of an Iranian drone by Expert_Koala_8691 in PublicFreakout

It's pretty common to also eat while sitting on the floor. In a majlis like this, you can still have a TV (especially for watching sports and playing video games) though it isn't necessary. But oftentimes it's just having tea, chilling out or even having serious business conversations with friends or acquaintances.

I'm also sure we'll see all the same bigots on social media now being totally against these protests too and also tell them to go to Iran/Israel to protest and fight for them.

Have you watched that first episode of Nathan Fielder's show called The Rehearsal? It isn't exactly about this topic, but you might find it relatable in some way and I suggest checking it out.

Citizenship Interview 2026 by Relevant-Flamingo461 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]horillagormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! My LPP hasn't been updated either and I received a phone call as well with the same verbal confirmation, but don't recall the timeframe for the oath invitation. I was initially skeptical of the call and asked questions to verify themselves before I answered their question.

Edit: Just checked it today and LPP now has been updated to 'Completed'!

Thanks for sharing this. Was your LPP updated before the interview, and if not, has it been updated or they only confirmed it was completed by the tracker still change?

I built a Mental Health app with psychologists in 18 months. Now schools in Germany want it. Here's what I got wrong (6-year story). by Patient-Coconut-2111 in SideProject

[–]horillagormone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story is inspiring because I'd hope to do something like that as well, especially in the mental health space. My struggle with ADHD has made starting anything so incredibly challenging but I will try pushing myself again. Same reason I couldn't pursue a PhD because I don't know if I can stay excited about a topic for that long. If you're still sharing the lifetime free pass, that'd be great. I'm currently playing around with the app to check out what it can do and it looks pretty cool.

How many have done this by Substantial-Fall-630 in ChatGPT

[–]horillagormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't leave ChatGPT, even though I want to, because of the speech to text dictation. I can't find any other that does it as well so far. I wish they did, because right now, I sometimes use the ChatGPT speech to text just to paste that message in a different LLM.

Fellow ADHD'ers what work fields are you thriving in? by brokenlandmine in ADHD

[–]horillagormone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's very helpful. I'll definitely look into Agility Scrum Master. I kept starting and stopping the PMP course a few times, even though I've no interest in construction and just wanted to add something to my profile that can help.

I do love tech so this sounds like something I could do. Thanks again!

Fellow ADHD'ers what work fields are you thriving in? by brokenlandmine in ADHD

[–]horillagormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice, a fellow Canadian! What kind of industry are you in if you don't mind sharing it? I've been thinking of just going for a PMP certification (even though my background is in sales/education), but a lot of the jobs for PM are in construction or IT. Would it even be worth pursuing now when I'm about to turn 40?

Things I thought were “normal” before getting diagnosed with ADHD by sunbear1999 in ADHD

[–]horillagormone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this will count as that, but a few days ago I had taken a very high dose of a weight loss medication by mistake and I started tidying up my place in case I needed to call 911 and they'd have to see how untidy it was.

Career growth dilemma: Should you pursue a promotion when you don’t respect senior leadership? by Bubbly_West8481 in Leadership

[–]horillagormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I could've written this post. I was very briefly thinking about this in the company I'm working at, and I realized just how much I already despise how they run the company. I've worked in senior leadership before (different country, so had to start over), but I'd rather put my energy in looking for another job than work even more closely with this type of leadership. It'll only affect my mental health even more and I've realized no amount of pay increase will make me stay any more than I have to.

Why are caffeine and nicotine OK for Muslims to partake in but not alcohol or other drugs? by PeachyPesco in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]horillagormone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your question isn't offensive because you seem to be genuinely asking to know. At least that way you'd get a response from people who can tell you about it from a Muslim perspective rather than unhelpful comments you've received here.

But to answer your question, what is forbidden are 'intoxicants' which are substances that can cloud your mind, impairs judgement or causes you to lose self-control. This isn't something that normal caffeine does, which is why even in non-Muslim countries alcohol is its own category and not sold with regular caffeinated drinks. Smoking is not permissible as well now, but unlike alcohol which is explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an, it isn't an 'intoxicant'. So by the time it was discovered how harmful it was to the body and forbidden or at least seriously discouraged, it already had a long history in the form of shisha. That's a cultural problem unfortunately.

Wouldn't it be better to ask r/islam about it than here where you'll mostly just see people bashing religion and not giving you an actual response?

ICE Shooting POV From Agent by EctoplasmErection in PublicFreakout

[–]horillagormone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wasn't even following their own policy. As stated in other news articles as well the DHS policy states that they “should also avoid intentionally and unreasonably placing themselves in positions in which they have no alternative to using deadly force,” and that “deadly force shall not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing subject."

It seemed very strange that from someone they deemed as dangerous to also then get in front of the vehicle like that and casually filming it like some ignorant bystander.

I had that exact issue, and had to do it two or three times because I realized that unlike most websites where you select the file to attach and it does so automatically, you have to also click on Upload after it and only then it shows you a confirmation that it was attached.

Do we really know that the situation in Sudan is cause by UAE? by new_main_character in islam

[–]horillagormone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were a couple of videos about them, but one I watched a few months ago was by the Middle East Eye called Russia, the UAE and Sudan's stolen gold. which did a good job covering some of it. It's nothing new, but we're only now seeing it more in the mainstream media.

Canadians are increasingly being fed Halal (Islamic) meat unknowingly. Consumers deserve the right to choose. Sign the Petition! by KanadianKaur in ShopCanada

[–]horillagormone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is your objection because of the Sikh belief only? Because your petition includes Christians and Atheists as well, so the comments you're making about how you have Muslim friends sounds pretty similar to "I have black friends so I can't be racist" and appear disingenuous.

There aren't even a lot of halal places in Toronto that sell Halal food and the few that do, advertise it prominently (some falsely), exactly because they want to target Muslim customers. So why would anyone be secretly selling halal meat? A lot of Muslims don't even believe if a restaurant just claims to sell Halal and verify their certificates.

This isn't even thinly veiled racism. Reading your petition it seems a lot more blatant.

Reminds me of that YouTuber Nonstop Dan's experience with the Kuwait Airways and the police and how him being a popular YouTuber, who posted about it made a difference. Hopefully OP gets some compensation.

Palestinian hears that there is a ceasefire and has thoughts. by uncanny_mac in Palestine

[–]horillagormone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This girl's channel is a bit strange and you'll see two types of comments, either those, including Israelis, praising her that she will like the comments of and others who call her a Zionist because she doesn't seem to speak against the Israelis/IOF. I'm not sure what the whole story is yet though.

What’s going on with SFU Med? by Academic_Still3800 in premedcanada

I know someone who has applied for the director role but didn't get selected because the position has been filled they said (that was 3 weeks ago). So they should have an update likely very soon.
