It's cool. I come from a religious background that I questioned all the time, even when my family focused only on teaching us the wholesome beautiful stuff, it's still hard to be on board with the rest or how other people interpret it.

So I've decided to quit. It's still hard, but I do still believe in a higher power. All the rest... I don't think God cares about head scarves or sex or alcohol,... Just live your life the way you want to and you'll be okay.

I'm so tired of this POS getting attention again. And I'm not even American. The amount of stress he causes me... Please let this end...

Also Belgium. The only time I had a gun was when I joined the Police for a few years. After that, nope. In my 5 years, I've never even had the thought that I should pull out my gun. I've served in Brussels and rural areas.

It was just emphasized so much during our 12 months of training to 'never ever use it unless it's your last resort, only pull out your gun when you're ready to pull the trigger' that it simply didn't cross my mind. We were more trained with the stick thing, 'job?' and judo, hand to hand combat.

Also, as a civilian you have to take an exam to own a firearm. If you have mental health problems or a record of criminal behaviour forget it. Even if you do get a license, you can only use it in a shooting range and specific situations. And never transport your gun and ammo together.

If you have a burglar, even then you're only allowed to use appropriate force. If he has a knife, you're not allowed to shoot him.

I don't agree with the Egypt part. It's a sovereign country and has the right to refuse to give up an entire peninsula of their land.

Israel is betting on them to open the doors so they can just take Gazan land like they want to. It's even pressuring Europe for weeks now to pressure Egypt. So there is a plan there and it won't be in favour of Gazans.

It's also a country that has its own shit going on. As soon as they open the border, the world will look away as if they've solved something and the Gazans will never have the right to return to their country because there will be no more Gaza.

There is a site with all the RSS feeds from major news outlets. If you download the app Feeder you can add them and have an overall view. Problem is, there are more newspapers that don't support RSS anymore and it's a shame.

Thanks for these btw.

Yeah, just keep 'looking.'

I know, sorry I worded it that way.

Hey, don't get the Muslims involved. Their god sanctions abortions (under specific circumstances, though over the years these have mostly evolved to: mother in danger, rape, child will be severely handicapped or the old, we don't have the effing money for one more mouth to feed and may God forgive us and we won't talk to anybody about it).

That's why it baffled me to see Canadian Muslims support their Christian counterparts to ban abortions.

At this point, I have to say that they've never even read their books.

The worst thing is one of the largest hospitals has gone underground to keep functioning. Now Israel will definitely see that as a 'tunnel from Hamas' and kill them some more.

Their statement would have been fine if they left the god and religion part out of it..

*The following statement was released, “In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful. With the help of God Almighty, our air defenses were able to shoot down an American MQ9 aircraft. The aircraft was conducting hostile, monitoring, and spying activities within Yemeni territorial waters. These activities were carried out within the framework of American military support for the Israeli entity.

The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their legitimate right to defend the country and confront all hostile threats with the appropriate weapons, with God’s help. Yemen’s armed forces vow to continue military operations against Israel to support Palestine.” *

Also, here's a backstory to the Houthis in short: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/who-are-yemens-houthis-why-did-they-attack-israel-2023-11-01/

I'm all for the Palestinian cause, but I don't like the Houthis' slogan. Or they should get a better PR firm.

Yes, those work very well. But after a month or two, they always came back. So this time I used the trap for weeks, in the meantime using specific agents to clean and I've noticed they die faster.

I don't know, maybe they're attracted to the vinegar afterwards when used for cleaning? That's my only guess. It's weird, but I'll see the results in a few months.

I've been cleaning with vinegar and dish soap for a year (mostly for my cats) and the last few weeks I've decided to ditch it.

I'm a clean freak and have never had so much trouble keeping spiders, fruitflies and insects out of the house. I'm back to buying specific cleaners for specific things and my god does it make a difference. Never again.

Me. I never even attempted to quit smoking. I know it kills. And I want to be left alone and not harassed by other people as if they're saving my life or something.

It is my choice.

Sorry but it's a witch hunt at this point. And don't get me started about drunk people wanting to grope me every time I go out.

Where I live, every workplace has a designated area where you can smoke. Indoor smoking is forbidden.

The drinking age here is 16, so is buying tobacco. There really aren't that many smokers anymore. Most kids vape or smoke pot.

Also if your friend has asthma, I don't know, stay away from smoking people you see? It can't be that hard.

Also, I started smoking because I was bored. Now I keep smoking because I want to. I've actively stopped kids in my family from starting with it, so I'm not trying to say smoking is ok. Just leave us be.

Thanks that's insightful.

Belgium's VRT. I've seen other countries' outlets starting to do it too.

Also, biden's biggest problems right now are that more black and Latino voters are moving to the republican side. The polling today was really worrying.

The only thing those voters ask from Biden is to represent them too in this conflict. He doesn't, so putting the blame on them if he loses the elections, is not fair.

Also he made it clear he doesn't care about their voices, so all he has to do is replace those votes with Jewish voters I guess? Muslims and Jews make up 1% each of the entire US population (census 2020), so it'll straighten itself out.

You forgot violent hate speech from both sides. Jewish children are indoctrinated to hate the Palestinians too.

It always starts with abortion rights, every time they want to control women and ban LBGTQ+. Poland is known for wanting to keep the 'traditional family unit' as it is and cracking down on everyone that's different.

Next is to take away their financial independence with the 'stay home and take care of the children' fase. So no way out.

Then comes the 'I'm the man of the house, so you do as I say or I'll report you to the authorities' fase. Lots of marital rapes and domestic violence in this fase...

Then it's the marrying out your 14 year old daughter's to your friends to get any sort of power... Sorry I'm describing handmaid's tale at this point. Or any fascists state...

But I heard with the latest elections young Polish people might turn things around.
