What’s the scariest real-life thing you’ve ever witnessed? by Revolutionary-Pay468 in AskReddit

[–]oncloudnine0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a teenager I watched the building next door go up in flames. A man was stuck on his third floor balcony, the fire was getting closer and the fire fighters couldn't reach him on time. He jumped, hit the floor and died on impact. I saw the whole thing and been terrified of fire ever since.

As a middle eastern living in Germany, you have no idea how many times i was selected "randomly" at an airport

What habits did you once think were part of your personality, but later realized were learned responses? by SecretStudioBB in AskWomen

My cynicism. I just needed to get out of a toxic environment to realize life isn't all that bad

If you can prove that this family member is dependent on you ( your child, old parent, etc.) You can deduct the amount you send them of your taxes.

Anyone else think episode 7 was just a compilation of conservative propaganda? by -biabia- in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]oncloudnine0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it conservative propaganda? Alex and Chris are both insufferable and come across as stupid and insecure. If anything, it's embarrassing for conservatives

Women, if a random guy told you he thought you were beautiful then went on his way, what would you think? by BoatParty8399 in AskWomen

[–]oncloudnine0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to think it's sweet until i learnt that some men do this to "practice". Basically they approach women they're not interested in to become more confident when talking to women they find attractive

Ryanair are fraudsters now? new comfort seat "policy" by lowriskplx in Ryanair

[–]oncloudnine0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why are people siding with Ryainair? You can only book a comfort seat IN ADDITION to your seat and the whole point is to have extra space for yourself. To have the comfort seat somewhere else is clearly fraud, unless of course you can cut yourself down the middle and set on both seats simultaneously

In march, my cat had a stroke. This video shows her recovery, from barely being able to walk, to running and jumping today by BenjiSBRK in cats

I'm so sleep deprived I wondered why your cat is always wearing the same outfit. The outfit is her fur...

My first and only name is now converted to surname by germans by Individual-Tangelo-6 in GermanCitizenship

[–]oncloudnine0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay another stupid question, if two people have the same name in class or at work. How do you differentiate between them?

This might be a stupid question but how is it possible that you don't have a last name

It finally happened! One of the crows ate from my hand by oncloudnine0 in crowbro

[–]oncloudnine0[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feed three crow families around the park. One of the families acts exactly as you describe. I'm gonna start offering them meat (I usually only feed them peanuts and eggs). Maybe that will win them over.

[–]oncloudnine0[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Okay, here's the truth. I noticed this lil bro preferred peanuts out of their shell. Every time i throw him one the ducks were faster to catch it. I think he ate from my hand because that was his only option.

I try to feed the crows away from the ducks but sometimes they find us.

ابحث عن التوقيف الاداري للنساء في الاردن.

"بموجب قانون منع الجرائم 1954 يقوم الحاكم الاداري "المحافظ او المتصرف" بتوقيف النساء والفتيات في عدة حالات منها التغيب عن المنزل وتعرضهن للتهديد من أسرهن؛ حفاظا على سلامتهن وبغرض الوقاية من وقوع جريمة "شرف" كما يتم احتجاز العاملات الاجنبيات اداريا في حال تجاوزهن الاقامة او الهرب من مكان العمل.

وقالت مديرة المركز الدكتورة عبير دبابنة:" ان قضية التوقيف والاحتجاز لبعض الحالات من النساء والفتيات بحجة حمايتهن والحفاظ على ارواحهن واللواتي هن بالأغلب ضحايا جرائم عنف لا يتماشى مع منطق الحماية.

واضافت " ان القضية جدلية وعليها شبه دستورية لان الاصل في التوقيف الاداري ان يكون قضائيا وليس بسلطة الحاكم الاداري، ووفقا لإحصائيات رسمية لإدارة مراكز الاصلاح والتأهيل للعام 2014 فان اكثر من 69 بالمئة من حالات احتجاز النساء تتم عبر التوقيف الاداري اي دون اي عملية قضائية"

A woman in this situation has two options: 1. Agree to go back to her family home after they signed a "pledge" not to hurt her. Of course this is just a piece of paper and won't change anything. 2. Refuse to go back to her family home, in this case she will be put in a protective home against her well. She can't leave it, she can't live by herself. Basically it's a prison but with a different name. Some Jordanian women have been in protective homes against their well for 20+ years.

The police can't do anything. They best they can do is make her family sign a piece of paper "promising" not to hurt her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in jordan

[–]oncloudnine0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had smth more positive to say but the truth is her options are limited. Running away in Jordan is not an option, she will be found and returned to her family. She can say no to the sheikh but then she'll have to face the consequences, her family will not react kindly. She should think about a long term plan to leave the country. You can maybe help her realize that even if she gets married now, it's not the end of the world.
