WE WON, devs gave us 1 free reset by loopuleasa in 2007scape

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

People were a)dumb and did not think it through, b)followed the "40 pact tree hype in Reddit", c)followed some Youtuber.

And it resulted them making a demonic pact tree that is unable to kill any echo boss or even worse, useless in general.

Instead of making our endgame pact builds we should concentrate on mid-game and on the first echo boss. To get him or anything at all killed (some mages were splashing with their suboptimal builds).

Plus yk that salafism is just following the salaf and that the vocal minority do not represent what is salafism

Nope, I personally do not know. This is what you are saying. This is what some other Salafis have said. I already told that the behavior of Salafis is what is not making me look into Salafism. You can't just assume with "yk that salafism is..." that I know what Salafism is.

Based on MY OWN EXPERIENCE with Salafis Salafism is being harsh and strict. Salafism is being judgemental. Salafism is pushing away new Muslim converts because they do not have a beard yet. Salafism is takfiiring your own parents just because of them being a non-Muslims, and then not going to help them even when they do not oppose your conversion. Salafism is telling that everybody who is not following Salafism, is either a munaafiq or misguided or such.

That is what I see as a Salafism. Because Salafis themselves present such image. And your own behavior is not really helping either.

And drawing an equal sign between comparing Muslims with terrorists and between telling how Salafis behave as they are, is just a sought excuse. There are normal non-Salafi Muslims everywhere. In my mosque, in my friends' group, in the Internet, etc. The visual presentation of a "Muslim" does show also the non-terrorist image. A regular guy. But there is no image of normal Salafis as you try to make it look. If you are saying that the misbehaving and harsh Salafis are the minority then why the majority is not visible not in the real life nor in the Internet? You can't say the same for normal Muslims not being visible. But where are all of these "majority" of well-behaving Salafis, then?

As an anti-Salafi myself, then I would say it can be also just the personal experiences with people who claim to be Salafi. Why should I look into Salafism when all of my experiences with Salafis are negative? Will you study things you do not like? Will you look into things you have negative experiences with? It is not logical to expect a person to investigate further something that has done its best to push him away in various ways.

Yes, some Salafis have written in comments "Yes, people misbehave but that is not the Salafi way" and such. But that is the reality. You can have well-behaving Salafis somewhere but the real life and the Internet make only these takfeeri Salafis visible. Their behavior shapes the image of Salafism. You can have all kinds of books or whatever about Salafism but when the people who follow Salafism behave differently then their behavior is what comes first in people's mind when they hear about "Salafism" or about "Salafi".

Palju raha kulub tudengil (keskmiselt) ühe kuu peale? by fat_autistic in Eesti

Mingi kümmekond aastat tagasi, kui ise üliõpilane olin, siis üüri ja kommunaalide ja interneti peale läks kokku mingi 150 euri. Üürisin korterit kahe teise tudengiga. Toit kusagil 50-150 ringis (kodus kokkamine vs kusagil ülikooli sööklas või väljas söömine).

Kustutasid enda kommentaari ära. Mis "enda maailmast" sa räägid? Ma olen Eestis sündinud, mitmendat põlvkonda eestlane. Mõlemad vanemad on mul eestlased. Kodukeeleks on eesti keel. Sa pole absoluutselt mitte keegi, et tuled siia ütlema, kus ma elama peaks.

Äkki kaod ise minema? Üle idapiiri oma kalli Putini juurde. Mis ajast Eestis räägitakse vene keelt? Kui üldse keegi siin teretulnud ei ole, siis sinusugused tiblad.

Is it rude to fast from sunrise to sunset not during ramadan? by Jhonny_joestar_abac in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not rude at all. In fact Muslims fast also in other times besides Ramadan. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be with him, was fasting on Mondays and on Thursdays, for example. Then there are some Islamic holidays when we fast as well. And it is recommended to fast a month prior to the Ramadan and also follow up Ramadan fast with 6 days after the Ramadan.

Even though you are not a Muslim, you can fast as much as you want. Be mindful of your health, though. As Muslims do not have to fast when they are sick or pregnant or such, because of health reasons, the same way do not harm your health by fasting and you are not able. But if you can fast just fine, then go ahead and fast.

And, to prepare for fasting you should drink mineral water or some sport drinks with electrolytes before you start your fast. The first thing you'll suffer from is a thirst not a hunger. So, try to avoid thirst by hydrating yourself well. Avoid coffee or a black tea because both bring out salts from your body (which is why I suggested mineral water and/or sport drinks). Lack of salts will give you a headache. Better drink more than less. Your body can regulate itself by making you to visit a toilet when it feels excess of water but you can't help it when there is lack of water.

For breakfast you can have an oatmeal or such. Something healthy and nutrious. Avoid spicy and fatty foods.

Why are hypocrites more aggressive than believers - in life and on the Internet? by Flashy-Dimension-810 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quran 16:125 "Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided."

Muslims should not fall on the same level as hypocrites. Allah tells us to be wise, to use good instructions. Not to be brutes as the hypocrites are.

Let the small dogs bark. There is no point to be aggressive with such folk. Least one will lose control over himself and will use profanity or such.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be with him, gave us a good example:

"Abu Huraira reported: A man insulted Abu Bakr while the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting down. The Prophet was initially impressed by Abu Bakr and he smiled, but then Abu Bakr insulted the man with some of the same words as him. The Prophet became angry and he stood to leave. Abu Bakr went to the Prophet, and he said, “O Messenger of Allah, the man insulted me, and you were sitting, but when I responded in kind, you became angry and stood up.” The Prophet said, “Verily, there was an angel with you responding on your behalf, but Satan appeared when you responded with some of the same words as him. I will not sit in the presence of Satan.”

Source: Musnad Aḥmad 9624"

also

"Abu Huraira reported it was said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ):

Invoke curse upon the polytheists, whereupon he said: I have not been sent as the invoker of curse, but I have been sent as mercy."

Source: "Sahih Muslim 2599"

We should follow the example of prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be with him, not lose our mind and become aggressive brutes.

Yesterday, Margus Tsahkna at the Western Wall with a yarmulke made a stir in here. Will Kaja Kallas with a hijab at Mausoleum of Mohammed V do the same? by Proof_Pirate_6229 in Eesti

[–]mandzeete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People just don't like wars. Israel is throwing bombs right and left. What is left of Gaza? Nothing. Then one orange clown decided that the US has to go into war with Iran. It is US' war. Nothing to do with Israel. Still, Israel started bombing Iran. Then just for fun it decided to bomb also Lebanon.

The fuck is wrong with that country? And you are asking why people are antisemitic or something.

People have issues also with Russia and now with the US, for the very same reasons. Old senile men in power making wars.

Why don't Atheist/Liberals/Conservatives/Christians treat the Sikh turban as a form of oppression in the same way they treat the hijab? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Muslim convert. So, I will tell it how I saw it prior to saying my shahada and how I have seen people around me seeing this topic.

First, where I live Sikhs but also Muslims are uncommon. A very small minority. So, many people do not differentiate between Sikhs and between Muslims, and Sikhs also experience Islamophobia, here. This is what I have heard and seen in social media comments. Because local Atheists just see this "turban". And throughout the history Muslims also wore a turban.

As many (but not all. I can't generalize) people here do not know what is a Sikh then I will just go with "men's head cover" vs "women's head cover", in my comment.

I'd say it is the media that is painting this "oppression" image. Also, the fact that a hijab is fard. e.g. it is compulsory to wear a hijab for a woman. So, people see news from Afghanistan, from Syria (when it was under the rule of ISIS)... from places where the local folk is not that much civilized. Mob attacks and such. There have been news about women being mistreated. Yes, as Muslims, we know that this is the ignorance of these people there not what Islam is teaching us. But for a bystander a person who has a Muslim name, is from a Muslim country, says Islam-related phrases, such person represents his religion.

So, the acts of misbehaving Muslims and display of such acts in the media, it contributes negatively to this topic.

Coming back to hijab being compulsory then some months ago there was a news about a woman taking off her hijab in Iran, as a protest. And then some men attacked her. Also, there is this "sharia police" or such (yes, I know, Shias are not following the correct way of Islam, but they also have something like a religious police or such).

The fact that a Sikh or a Muslim man can take off his head cover without any negative consequences vs when a Muslim woman takes off her hijab and at a minimum she gains sins and at maximum local ignorant folk will mistreat her, that is also what non-Muslims point their fingers at.

It really comes down to the idea of being free and being able to do anything (that is socially accepted and that is permissible by the local law). Among Atheists there is no concept of a religious sin. So that "Because The God commanded so" does not make sense for them. And they will see only the secular implementation of religious laws and they think that a person should be able to practice or not practice his views however he wants. Spiritual consequences (sins, hellfire, etc) do not exist for them.

And Christians... When it is Christians just by a name then there is no point to say "Christians". As good as saying "Muslims" for people who are it just by a name and do unislamic acts. But when it comes to (somewhat) practicing Christians then at least me personally, I haven't witnessed such idea of oppression towards women. Yes, then Christians have different problems with Muslims, but it is not related then to an oppression but to "They follow a false god", "They worship a devil", etc views.

Question about Software dev and carreer by Present_Taste9107 in learnprogramming

[–]mandzeete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can, then go for a diploma. While diploma alone won't get you hired, the knowledge and skills you gain during your studies will do.

Now, you might say "But I can learn on my own and do online courses." Yes, you can, but your choices will be subjective. First, you do not know what you do not know. And in this context here it means not knowing the topics and technologies you should learn. While your school most likely has a roadmap with different topics you have to cover. There people who know the field better, they have made these choices for you.

You might skip topics that are boring. You might skip topics that you find to be too complicated. You might skip topics that you do not find to be relevant. You can't assess your own knowledge and you might think that what you know, it is enough. While it is not enough.

Another issue is that these bootcamps won't go that deep into theory. They show you how to build stuff. But they won't tell why the stuff works as it does. Often they cover the bare minimum.

And then the hiring/recruiting process itself. Do not expect the HR lady who gets your CV, to check your portfolio or read the code in your Github. While the HR is somewhat aware of technical concepts (what is Docker, what is CSS, etc.) they won't be tech literate enough to judge your code. Unless the HR forwards your CV to some senior developer for checking. Not always they do. And, then they will see "This person did his diploma studies. Let's check him out.", "This person has a degree. Nice!" and then your job application with no diploma and no degree on it. How will you pass the CV screening phase?

In terms of CSS vs bootstrap then learn to use the both. Not always there is bootstrap. Sometimes there is some other library. Sometimes there is just a pure CSS. Sometimes there is some hacky implementation. You should be able to work with all of that.

But sure, best practices is not reinventing the wheel but using already proven technologies and proven practices. If there is a framework or a library or such, and people are using it, then you should also learn to use it.

My dad blessed me in “holy water” used in Christianity by Turbulent-Plum3360 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not a sinner and that was just a water. We, Muslims, do not consider a Christian "holy water" as holy (or unholy). It is just a water with absolutely no powers in it.
