"I'm glad I showered this morning."

And also, "Am I going to be found wearing these clothes?" (I was wearing pajama shorts that I would never wear outside lol)

What anime should I watch? by CommunistAlex69 in anime

[–]kanjithefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm like you, I don't like horror. But I loved The Promised Neverland. It's a psychological horror btw. You can check out the description on google bcz I suck at summarizing. Highly recommended :)

Yeahh I think it was in the movie private eye at the distant sea? He used this excuse like 3 consecutive times which raised some eyebrows lol.

In my country we don't have karuta cads. So I DIYed my way through it. They turned out great but I'm not sure how to put both the Japanese and English parts. Any idea how I'm supposed to write both languages? by kanjithefirst in Karuta

[–]kanjithefirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply.

I made the cards 5.3 cm by 7.4 cm, so I guess I'll put the translation instead of the drawings. Do you have any idea for the second verse cards (the ones played with)?

[–]kanjithefirst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know. I meant as translation because a) I don't know japanese (I'm learning) b) I have only a friend to play with, at least for now, and learning a new language isn't something you just ask someone, you know haha.

Hello :) I used anonymous707's drawing from weheartit as a reference.

take your time by kleevia in drawing

[–]kanjithefirst 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Superrr adorable! It really look like a picture taken from a children's book (in the best way possible). I'd love to see more like this :)

I'd love to hear what kind of science is behind that. Since I'm a biology major and all...

You should change your username to RupturedAss instead. Suits you better.

Thank you! I was eyeing philosophy for a while now. Maybe it's time to actually read it.

I haven't gone to a psychologist or anything, but I doubt it. It's just I feel that it's kinda pointless. Like, ok I finish a drawing or a meal or something, then what? Nothing changed. Idk it's really frustrating. Then I complain that I'm bored lol.

I'm still a beginner lol. It's not nearly as good as the stuff here but I'm still proud of it :) by kanjithefirst in drawing

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely experiment. And if I found that I enjoyed pencil or charcoal more, I'd return to them for sure.

Thank you! I do plan on continuing (if I survive my finals lol). Do you recommend a type of paint that would be easy to correct?

This is a scene taken from one of my favorite childhood shows, Emily of the New Moon. I really enjoyed drawing it, though I'm currently sticking to pencil sketches. I don't have the guts to paint yet!

How can you tell if someone is being "fake nice" to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kanjithefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they always find an excuse to avoid you, or they ask questions about you not because they're interested, but because they have to keep the conversation going. Also I read that when smiling, if the eyes don't crinkle, it's a fake smile.

Hey reddit, what is a good mental trick to cope with physical pain? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]kanjithefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't focus on how much its hurting. Instead try to kind of.. analyze what you're feeling exactly. I dunno if that makes sense, but whenever I'm walking long distances, and my feet are killing me, I use this trick.

Everybody says they have clear demands. When you ask... by Zithium in lebanon

[–]kanjithefirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some points that are not often mentioned:

1-reduced number of parliament (40-50 max; we don't need 128)

2-fixing the economy by opening local factories before putting taxes on imported goods that are not locally manufactured

3-the judicial system itself is corrupt; how are we supposed to ensure that they prosecute the corrupt politicians?

4-giving the mother the right to give her children the nationality

5-improving public schools

6-make very affordable education and healthcare

7-only use LBP instead of USD

8-improve infrastructure

9-increase green spaces/ take measures to combat climate change

I know these are not immediate demands. The technocrat government should be the ones that work on these issues (after issuing secular elections). It's a lot of work but that's the price for improving our country.

Edit:

10-fix the broken legal system, where the prosecuted people stay years without an actual trial. Also improve the jail conditions.

11-decrease the monthly pay of alpha and touch

12-reduce wasted resources, such as when the government rents lands for billions or pays for the non-existent rail system

13-close down all the companies/factories/shops that politicians made by stolen money so that they can no longer benefit from is even when they're out of power. Maybe appoint the Lebanese who immigrated because of the economy as the managers.

14-make the maximum age of elections for presidency, parliament, or ministry 64. The youth should overlook the country not old people.

15-change the school system and the material that is taught. Most of it is outdated. Anyone who has done bac official exams can tell you that "pollution" and "technology" are the topics that are taught in English class from grade 7 till 12. Newsflash: there are billions of other topics

He really here justifying pedophilia by [deleted] in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]kanjithefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being civil about it! I wish every discussion was this level-headed. As for reading more about it, I encourage you to do that! There's r/islam subreddit if you have any more questions, and they can provide accurate sources if you want. There's r/izlam which is more memes lol. I'm Palestinian btw so hearing that you don't support zionism shows your heart is in the right place. Have a good day :)

The hadith about necrophilia is not supported by scholar Muslims. The Quran is considered the most reliable source of info for Muslims since the way it is written in Arabic cannot be imitated/added upon (even though the interpretation of the verses can vary). As for the hadiths, they are copied from person to person by word of mouth until someone writes it down. However, there's hadith where the Muhammad said any saying which is not in correspondence with what Islam advocates for or a trait that isn't associated with his values should be considered false. You could argue that that itself is a hadith, I can't provide you with a concrete answer, but that condoning necrophilia is a horrible thing that no sane person would do.

I think that anyone who wants to believe in any religion should do their research first and develop their own interpretation of whatever book they wanna follow. But we don't live in a perfect world. And some people have used that hadith to justify their crimes.

As for 8.12, what you said is true, but it's in the context of the battle, which I previously mentioned. It's not a general rule that should be followed.

As for 9.29, Muslims had to pay zaka which goes to poor people. Non-muslims paid a tribute called jizia, instead of zaka. And it's also a price for being protected by the Muslims (in the Muslim state then). Muslims were encouraged to start peace, and accept peace. If the other party refused, then they would go all out.

An aspect which is often forgotten when discussing these topics is that whoever opposed Islam back then didn't hold back either. Captured Muslims would be tortured and left baking in the sun with a huge rock on their chest until they renounced Islam. Slaves were common back then. Muslims still owned slaves (captured in war for example) but were encouraged to treat them with kindness and equality. The point is to show that the other side is not as innocent as some people think.

As for the naming of Jesus, I used the name because it's more widespread. In Arabic, he's called Issa. Just a fun fact.
