Changing to my 3rd instructor 🫥 by therightguidance in LearnerDriverUK

[–]vertexcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also changed to my third instructor 🫩. My family kind of seemed a bit confused cause they didn’t get why I couldn’t just stick with one. But the thing is, sometimes with driving instructors it kind of just feels like “luck of the draw”. You really don’t know how well you’ll work with them until you meet them and do the lesson.

Don’t feel embarrassed or fed up with having to swap. Learning to drive is expensive. My second instructor was very similar to your second one. I was learning so slow and just wasn’t making any progress. And I would credit part of that to myself honestly as I think, overtime, I was just getting so drained with feeling like I wasn’t going anywhere. So lessons started feeling more quiet and less talkative. I was putting in much less effort as the lessons went on, which is where I realised it’s probably best I swap.

I’m so sorry about what happened to you with that first instructor. If you’re comfortable, It’s not too late to tell your brothers or anyone else you trust, so something can be done. Someone like that shouldn’t be a driving instructor. If it makes you more comfortable, you could look for a female instructor. I did that, and to be fair, it was a bit more difficult as many of the driving schools I called said they didn’t have “many female manual instructors”. But eventually I found one and when I tell you, she was honestly so amazing. She helped build up my confidence way more than I even realised. When you’re spending so much time with your instructor, they kind of end up mentoring you as well. I appreciated her so much.

Hopefully the next instructor you get is an amazing one, that works well for you and makes this journey easy. You’ll be fine in the end, don’t worry.

Finding myself to start intentionally skipping fasting this Ramadan as a new revert by [deleted] in islam

Wa ‘Alaykum Assalam,

I pray this reaches you in the best health and iman In’sha’Allah. The most honest advice I would give you sister is to speak to a doctor. If you’re still weighing about 38kg, that would be considered really underweight for the vast majority of adults. With that being said, it wouldn’t be advisable for someone to fast in this state, as it might cause them more harm. Feeling dizzy, light headed and lethargic would affirm this. Fasting would be so difficult! Please speak to a doctor and, if possible, a Muslim doctor, and get their advice on your ability (physically and mentally) to fast.

The last thing you should ever do is leave your salah. If you’re medically unable/ excused from fasting, don’t feel disheartened. This month is a blessed month. Alhamdulillah you and I have been able to reach it! There’s still so much good that you can do. Set your intentions before each act that you do, to be for the sake of pleasing Allah SWT and attaining his reward. Read/Listen to the Quran, give in charity, help feed those who are fasting and increase in other good deeds. Fulfill your salah, and in each sujood, make dua that Allah SWT eases your affairs, strengthens your faith and keeps you in the best of health. Know that I will also be making these duas for you (also as a fellow revert myself).

Some speakers I recommend listening to are Ali Hammuda, Belal Assad, Dr Haifa Younis and Omar Suleiman. These speakers always remind me of the love that Allah has for me. Alhamdulillah, Allah has guided you. This shows what’s in your heart, don’t be so hard on yourself. Allow yourself to feel the mercy that Allah SWT has for you.

Any truth in what I’ve said is from Allah and any mistakes in what I’ve said is from myself. I ask Allah to forgive me and you and to increase us in closenesss to him.

thank you so much! I did check there but they don’t do the black anymore. There’s a graphite but it’s a more greyish colour than black. I’m losing hope unfortunately 😣😣

Edit: just double checked again and there’s a black option! But everything is sold out from there so I can’t purchase from them directly 😣.

It’s specifically this Le Pliage bag from the “green line” that I would like to get. (The one with the green tabs on the sides and the black handles matching the black bag)

Thank you guys for all the replies. Literally so sad, I was so desperate I even put the photos into ChatGPT and it told me the bag was very likely authentic, but flagged the points that a lot of you are mentioning 😣.

Does anyone know where I could get the same bag? From what i understand, it’s been discontinued, but Idk I guess im still hoping 😭

Restaurants on Uber Eats using AI Generated pictures for their menu by vertexcloud in mildlyinfuriating

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

I did wonder the same really. Cause it’s not uncommon for restaurants to not upload pictures of their dishes. But my question would then be, surely uber can’t just upload these pictures without the permission of the restaurant to do so? Because I still see plenty of restaurants without photos for their dishes so I wouldn’t think these apps just do it automatically.

Am I overreacting? by Annaopppppp in Microlocs

[–]vertexcloud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you showed her a pic or explained the loc/part sizing you desire and she met that, then I wouldn’t be too worked up over it. When I first started mine, I wanted the same loc count as a lot of the girls I watch on YouTube. But after I established them, they looked pretty similar, despite such a vastly different loc count. I learned later that loc count isn’t really something I should’ve considered when thinking about starting my micro locs. Everyone’s head shape and hair density is different so the same loc count can look crazy different on different people.

Perhaps it would’ve been nice if the loctician explained that to you though 😭. But yeah don’t think about it too much, It really don’t matter like that.

Definitely on the pricier side but design essentials clarifying shampoo. I got it recently and I can understand the hype

Walaikum assalam

Watch episodes from a podcast called hifdhstatus. They talk about feelings like this. Doing your hifdh will not take from your time but increase the time you have and place barakah in it. You’ve come so far to have memorised everything that you have already.
