this is the one thing i wish i could tell every young muslim girl. don’t live your lives after you turn 18 waiting for the “freedom” marriage will provide you. there’s no such thing. become financially independent, live on your own terms, understand what true freedom means.
I struggle to imagine a highly educated man, especially in medicine, science or tech, coming online to say his blue-collar wife with no degree is much smarter than him. Male-centered women are so desperate to glorify men and downplay their own intelligence. It's exhausting.
“Living standards are falling for us.” Yet UK banks just posted £29bn in half-year profits. Lloyds’ profits jumped 99% to £2.3bn as mortgage rates hit 6%, while Shell doubled its profits to £8bn. This isn’t just an economic crisis; it’s a wealth transfer.
🚨| 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Raphinha has been CALLED UP by Brazil and Carlo Ancelotti for the upcoming international break. He will travel about 10,900km from Barcelona to Singapore. 🇧🇷✈️
Guy I hate this fanbase so so much, Jude had only 20 accurate passes and 0 key pass, Pedri had 4 and 70+ accurate passes ffs.
Jude was deadass a ghost in the match, came online to see something else, this fanbase is disgusting.
i'd be mortified if a friend of mine was casually tweeting like this about me. just say you can't or don't feel comfortable going it's not that big of a deal. people these days are too comfortable putting everybody's business online.
the replies are absolutely unhinged (and SO american) and i am so glad my married friends & friends who have kids are not clinically insane.
people like this who invest all of their time and energy SOLELY into their partner/kids should not have friends.
My friend wants to plan a couples, no-kids weekend getaway, splitting the cost of a large AirBNB, in January for her 30th birthday. I really do not love this idea (husband is mortified), neither to spend the money nor to get someone to take the toddler for 3 days. It would be a 2.5 hour drive away for us, too, so it’s not like we’re close if something happens. I haven’t been away from him for even 1 night yet and he still just seems so young! It would be very hard to leave him for that long.
Am I just a party pooper who needs to get over it? Genuine question. Like I actually need advice here guys
Say anything you want, going into the season with that defence was A FARCE. And nobody held the board accountable. You can't go against big teams with this squad - with hardly one proper defensive player. It's that simple and that obvious.
The only thing I will say about that Bangladeshi couple that was executed in Saudi Arabia is that they found three pieces of the sacred cloth used to cover the Kaaba in Mecca on Jeffrey Epstein’s island. Hand delivered to him.
Make of it what you will.
longing for the day people understand that Paul Atreides is supposed to be white because he's a critique of the white savior trope
the whole point of Dune is to warn against charismatic imperialists who manipulate Indigenous peoples to consolidate their own power
I dislike how it’s now just commonplace to see videos of awful things happening, casually shared, reshared, liked, plenty of mocking comments. The public space online is pretty dystopian at times. I don’t want to see someone’s terrifying last moments, especially not so casually.
idk i’m kinda never gonna forgive the internet for spreading a vicious hate campaign that messi was a cheating zionist while he was playing his last ever world cup for his dying father like i hate you all actually
Do NOT use this scheme.
A 97.5% mortgage at 6% interest. What could possibly go wrong?
You’re being encouraged to buy an overpriced new build with almost no equity, while housebuilders get richer.
Ask yourself one simple question:
Why isn’t this being offered on existing homes?
The UK property market is flat. Instead of addressing the real problems stamp duty, affordability, supply and everything else the government would rather dress it up with another scheme designed to stimulate demand and prop up prices.
This benefits the government and housebuilders far more than it benefits you.
Don’t rush into buying a house simply because a scheme makes it seem easier. You’ll be stuck for a long time and owning a house comes with significant financial pressure beyond the monthly payments.
Save a 10/20% deposit. Buy when YOU are financially ready.
This doesn’t fix the UK property market.
Not only is it an insane accomplishment, it’s also a modern one. It was never society’s plan for us to live AND sustain independently.
So pls cut yourself some slack, you’re beating historical odds women before us fought and died for!
I'm so fucking done with english-speaking people calling EVERYTHING colonialism. Not all military conquest and not all expansionism is colonial. That doesn't make It less violent or reprehensible, but colonialism describes an specific form of domination and extractivism.
