Yes, Belgium in Europe. Come on over!

It's hit and miss most of the time. I just tried Lemmy memes and it redirects to lemmy.ml and the memes community.

Then I tried Lemmy how do I wash my kitten and there was an answer. Again for Lemmy ml. I think it depends on whether there is a post answering the question and if people commented on it.

These people are so brave and I hope I'll live to see the day they can live their lives in freedom and peace.

I use duckduckgo and lately have been adding Lemmy at the beginning (like I did Reddit) and it really works. Search results come back if there is a discussion going on about the topic.

There are no Hamas on the West bank I'm told. They are restricted to Gaza and that's why it was an open air prison. These are just Palestinians that live and work there, but are not connected to Gaza.

Besides that, they moved all the real soldiers and reservists to the frontline and allowed among others, settlers to do the policing in the region with maybe 1 IDF person in charge when shit happens. I truly believe that's the reason why we're seeing this. It's assholes driving around, looking for Palestinians torturing and killing them. Afterwards it's always in self defense.

My mind is still baffled that you can let outside sources give government members money to do their bidding and call it 'lobbying.'

I mean if this happened where I live, we'd call it bribery.

AOC is on fire lately. I'm a big fan of her.

I live in a country where wages are linked to a central index.

The index measures how expensive life is becoming. If the prices of products and services rise, the index rises accordingly. If the figure exceeds the so-called central index, benefits and wages will automatically increase.

So, this happened in October again and next month I'll have an increase of 2% in wages.

It's more complicated than that, but most countries should use this to protect at the very least handicapped, sick or unemployed people who live on benefits.

It's not much, but it helps in a way.

That's why I'm trying to limit my time here, but I also just want to follow the news and see some cat pics.

Best thing to do is condemn terrorist Hamas on the one side and Netanyahu/IDF/extremist settlers that harass West bank palestinians on the other side.

And pray for the Jewish and Palestinian civilians. Because they are the ones suffering.

I've heard that taking magazines is bad from my hairdressers, because everyone has a different face shape and not every haircut is suited for that. It's better to figure out what your face shape is and look up online which haircuts go with that.

Something like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/400538960585397380/)

Also, look up middle eastern hair cuts from your peers, I descend from that region, so our hair tends to be very different from other people. I found this: https://www.pinterest.com/christopherdru/middle-eastern-cuts/ online, there are some cool haircuts there.

I also found this: https://www.arabianbusiness.com/lifestyle/wellness/the-modern-man-s-guide-grooming-601108 article online.

The most important thing is good hygiene: shower daily/everythime you get sweaty. If you can't shower one day, the minimum should be washing with a washcloth your face, neck, ears, armpits, boy parts (front and back). It's mostly the same when you take an abdest before praying.

Brush teeth daily two times a day at the least. Floss if you can or have access to a waterpik, that's easier.

Clip hand and toenails regularly (once a week) and maybe even shape them with a file.

Use deodorant under armpits (but not too much)

Take care of your skin: moisturize with a good cream, you can never start too young. BUT if you have skin problems, visit a dermatologist first. U can also do a face mask every week, clay masks are really good at getting your skin clean.

Don't forget to let someone do your eyebrows if you have bushy eyebrows, they shape your face too.

These are all tips from a woman, but hey they are valid for men too I guess.

Also, every time I visit Turkey for example, they have these salons where they do everything: hair, nails, feet, facemasks, waxing, ... And it's very cheap. I loved being pampered for a few hours! There should be something like that in Iran for men too, maybe look around a little (depending on your budget of course).

Good luck and remember you're a work in progress. Trying out different things is the fun stuff, don't take it too seriously when something doesn't work well, it grows out really fast.

Edit: on mobile, so format is off

Yeah, just makes it easier to get large numbers of you in what, 6 bombs or so? Sorry our aim is so shitty, but hey we'll get there.

I truly believe the Israeli military and government want to kill off a large part of civilians before the international backlash gets so bad, they have to stop.

That's why they're Vetoing against humanitarian aid via the US, that's why they bomb indiscriminately. They're doing a Big CULL and terrorize the remaining, surviving mostly children so they'll always be too traumatized to hit back later. And they hope cholera outbreaks and/or disease after the war will finish off the rest.

Well, history tells us they're wrong and this will happen again and again until peace is reached.

It shouldn't stop us and we should honour Palestinian civilian casualties (no one cares about Hamas) with a wall of pictures, just as the Israeli do. It humanises them and also, attaching a name and face to a victim helps us to feel more empathy.

Everybody's talking about numbers, let's see their faces, hopes and dreams. The least we can do.

They won't. Look at Sebrenica.

Piece of shit, pouring oil onto fire while the civilians are getting slaughtered at this point on both sides. If there is hell, this one should burn.

Edit: I've never seen anyone defend Hamas, only civilian Palestinians. Just to make that clear distinction.

They were too stupid, especially in Europe they would get so much backlash they just went back to their basements.

But over the years, they got smarter, more eloquent in how they discreetly were racist, not only against Jews, but also Muslims, Africans, Southeast Asians, everyone that's different to be honest. The latest study shows 26% of Belgium is racist.

The news also plays into that, by giving up the DESCENT of a perpetrator, instead of his/her Belgian ID. Mostly for crimes not terrorism related. Day in day out, this black man hit his wife, this Turkish guy did that, ...

They never call them Belgians. If the perpetrator is a brown man born and raised here, his parents were born and raised here, but one of his grandfathers was from Morocco, Turkey, etc... They still describe him like 'a 23 year old Belgian man of Moroccon DESCENT....' this fed into it. Every time I saw this happen, I wrote to said paper to stop doing that, unless it involves a terrorist attack against a church, mosque, Jewish temple, café, etc... Even then, if they have a Belgian ID, they should still be described as Belgian guy with ideological differences...

Any news about Muslim girls harassed, assaulted, gangraped by Nazis was en still is getting downplayed and we're made out to be liars. It won't see the press. It still happens to this day.

Also, the latest I've seen is them discussing on certain forums whether it would be better for the 'protection' of Muslims (to start with) if they would put them in concentration camps? This one made me sick and I'm letting all my Belgian friends know that this is going on and fortunately everyone was outraged. But also, they have their heads in their asses, they even don't follow the news, because they can't do anything about it.

But someone has to know and do something. I'm thinking about compiling a list of all the forums i've seen this talked about and send them to every press agency, every community leader, also our new immigrant centers where there are a lot of young people, so they know not to engage and/or associate with these people and be educated against Nazi's.

Yeah I agree with you 100%. Republicans are heading for a real life Gilead, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

Let's hope I'm wrong, he still has some time to change their minds.

It is stupid, I 100% agree with that. I also know from experience that sometimes it's the only way to get their attention.

Muslims (or any minority for that matter) were and are suffering anyway, especially after 9/11 and they usually vote with their emotions.

Democrats/Biden never should have spoken out in that way, even if HE thinks it's true. It was undignified, especially for a world leader to be so shortsighted.

Saying Israel had the right to defend itself was okay, we all agreed. When the death toll was rising beyond that, he shirked it off as the 'cost of war'. This got me angry. Vetoing UN humanitarian aid? My brain just couldn't process it. When he said he 'doubts' the numbers are right? He really got my blood boiling.

This man is systematically and wilfully undermining the Palestinians agony, death and suffering, agreeing with genocide AND expects everyone to shut up?

Yeah, I get the sense that he thinks he can say anything at this point because the other guy is worse. But he forgets that staying at home and not voting for anyone is also a choice.

So glad I live in Europe...

They don't see them as humans.

Western leaders really miscalculated the backlash here. They expected the world to stay quiet as usual and let Israel just do their thing, after all, they're just Muslims.

They thought the world would support them like they did Ukraine. IF they were in the right, why is every fiber in my body screaming that this is wrong? What Hamas did was wrong, but this is disgusting bloodlust.

1400+250 dead or missing > 8000 dead as of today.

AND they said their war could take months. The only hope I have, is that some European leaders are pushing back finally.

Maybe if they didn't bomb the designated 'safe' areas, people would believe them. Like that one man said: why go to the South and die there when I can die in my own house? Action/ reaction.

So go in the effing tunnels and eliminate them, nobody is holding you back. You'd be doing everyone a favour.

Right now you've just killed 7000/8000 civilians and only what, five or so of them were so called Hamas? Israel is really bad at this war thing and I'm starting to think about all of the hard talk and perfect defense system, Mossad etc .. were just plain lies. Perception and so on...

You can even tell by the way the troops stand that they have really no idea what real combat is. That's why you are levelling everything from afar with bombs, you know they have no chance one on one.

It's simple, stop killing, bombing civilians and start showing us what you're made of.

So WHY didn't you go after them when you had the chance 20 years ago? Why even prop them up to be elected and then ban all elections? Why allow them to grow and be subsidised to even get to this level. Why allow them to build tunnels?

WHY with your almighty army and tech and effing dome don't you enter the tunnels now? I saw the maps, you know where they are, why? If Ukraine can use drones, keep civilian casualties at minimum level and treat their prisoners of war with dignity, why can't you?

Because 'we value human life?' You only value yourselves. You are the Nazis at this point of time and history will remember this as the most ironic thing ever.
