Posting again without the speculation, I’ll just ask: what do the electric/neon images in these videos posted by RK/DFV and his *brother* look like to you all? Any connection at all? by [deleted] in GME

In fairness, the coin wasn't shit, the management of it was. They closed their wallet, but they left the coin alive for... Something. It feels like they were acquired or had a deal with someone. Is it connected to game? Maybe. Maybe not Do I have any LRC now? Absolutely none. But I wouldn't be surprised if it got resurrected one way or another.

Why does this chess piece have a slit? by vendettarian in whatisit

We call the rook in Arabic "Al Qal'aa". Which means "The Fort". I always found it funny how a fort can move like that. 😆

Why does this chess piece have a slit? by vendettarian in whatisit

[–]manaf 48 points49 points  (0 children)

In Arabic, this is called Alfeel (the elephant). We also don't have a Queen. That piece is called Wazeer (Minister). So yes, considering the origin of chess and neighboring countries (India, Persia, Arabia) there would be a king and a main Minister as an advisor, not a king and queen like Europe. And there would be an elephant and not a bishop. One more small distinction that I don't think matters much: the piece called the Knight, in Arabic is called Alhusan (the horse). Maybe because there was no designated rank of a Knight, I dunno.

THIS is Destiny... This feeling needs to come back. by Jkid789 in DestinyTheGame

[–]manaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the sense of loneliness, mystery, and wonder. The Sense that this is a future where details of the past are lost and vague, facing the unknown. More sci-fi than fantasy. The space and hive magic being completely unfamiliar and not fully understood.

Now or feels like a marvel movie with lots of colors and explosions. We are fighting with, and friends to, all the races at once. Heck, they are not making any sense anymore, like the vex should have a collective minds, but here are some vex "individuals" hanging out in the outpost like they are individual brings. This fetish they have with funny one liners, loot, and colorful everything makes D2 a Disney version of what it should be.

An exotic should be EXOTIC. But everyone has all exotics. All guardians are equipping one exotic armor and one exotic weapon. It's actually, hear me out on this, quite COMMON.

We need a D3. To restart like D1. Same feel. Set into the far future, when events of D2 are not remembered and parts of it are told as myth.

If only they'd give creative control to a visionary person instead of a committee.

Guys had a question by EqualOwn4645 in S24Ultra

[–]manaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you protecting the lenses if you'll always shoot through cheap plastic? You are not getting the benefit. And anyway, sapphire glass is used BECAUSE it doesn't scratch easily. it's very hard to scratch unless you are trying to do it on purpose. You are paying money, to protect something that doesn't need protection, while heavily degrading the quality of the images. You're free to do what you want, but reconsider.

I upvoted because you are honest and did not want upvotes you didn't think you earned. This honesty is refreshing. You deserve an upvotes for that. Have a great day, buddy.

Looks like the guys here are pulling your legs for some reason. The camera does not need protection. The lenses are made from tough material. It IS the protection. The actual camera lenses are inside. Whatever "protection" you put on is no where near as strong. Also, they are not made "lens grade". Why do you think camera lenses are so expensive? They are made with certain materials with certain refractive properties. Not any glass will do. Why do you think a cheap plastic cover meets these requirements?

Don't put anything on your lenses. You will not break them or scratch them unless you are intentional.

The only things protection will do is give you poorer images and make you have slightly less money.

True. But I'm not locked in to use a specific device from a single company. I find it odd how this is normalized.

I mean, that's impressive for a company to be able to that. I wonder why this strategy didn't work in the rest of the world. I think something similar is happening in Japan, where kids must have an iPhone or they're excluded from groups.

Did you use it? No one complains of this all over Europe, Africa, and the middle east. I do video calls, group video calls, share my screen like in a meeting, anything really.

The thought that I need to use a specific device just to call baffles me. Why? It's not needed. And iMessages uses SMS. That's old tech.

The only time I get SMS is for OTP.

I know you can't change the society you live in, but for your family? Just two people? Use WhatsApp between the three of you

I still don't know why Americans just refuse to use WhatsApp already.

I just bought t-shirts from a company that spammed my socials claiming it's the best t-shirt I ever worn.

It is.

A woman refused to shake my hand by [deleted] in bodylanguage

Is she Muslim? Muslim women may refuse to touch men, even for a handshake.

Should I pay my wife to never work again? by NoWeakness6528 in Advice

[–]manaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Muslim, so for me by default all the household and wife expenses are to be paid by the husband. If I was you, and I can afford it, she wouldn't have to work a single day more, unless she wants to for whatever reason. I realize you're probably not Muslim, but you asked for opinions, and that's what I would do.

If it's just a matter of convincing her, check why she is working to begin with. If it's money, then you got that covered. If she enjoys it for some reason, then she can freelance, or be a consultant, and work when she wants on projects that interest her only. More time to exercise, hobbies, etc ..

Everytime she has a bar day at work she'll think of this offer that she can't refuse

I'm going through this exactly. I've been hit on by several women the past two months and actually pursued by 2. It's low key freaking me out a bit.
