Imagine being so deranged that you walk into a hospital with a sick loved one, pray they survive, then turn around and harass a woman for praying just because she is Muslim. The rot runs that deep. 🤢

“I lift, it’s great, but it’s not my whole personality and doesn’t define manhood” is so simple and yet so meaningful. He doesn’t malign gym culture in totality (leftwing pitfall), nor does he elevate it as the sole marker of masculinity (rightwing pitfall). He’s just normal about it. Refreshing.

I know this path too well. God bless any athlete/person with a platform willing to put morals & beliefs before money and this dunya.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym.

It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

Brilliant riposte from @AbdulElSayed to Trump, who can’t even get Melania to hold his hand in public.

Sometimes I have to check myself and figure out if I am really in the clutches of nostalgia. Then I see clips like this and all my doubts go away. These movies had sauce.

how did they get their eyes SO TWINKLY in this scene

[Kumar R Talukdar🇮🇳 @Kumarjyoti49291]

The past decade has seen an alarming rise in violence and discrimination against Muslims in BJP/NDA ruled states, which is still ongoing. From "bulldozer justice" to vigilante lynchings, hate is being institutionalised with shocking impunity. Divisive political rhetoric continues to normalise Islamophobia and marginalise millions of citizens. India's secular fabric and constitutional values are under severe threat due to the brainless, senseless, shameless sanghi morons

Born in Detroit to Egyptian immigrant parents, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is a Rhodes Scholar with two doctorates who became Detroit's youngest-ever health director at age 30 before going on to teach epidemiology at Columbia University.

Calling him a "radical Islamist" makes you look stupid, not him.

The older I get, the more I understand why people disappear into gardening baking, reading, and long walks. Not because life got boring. Because peace became valuable.

This post is actually WILD

Because their own SBC builder is so bad and the community has found better alternatives (some free)

EA actively made the SBC grind worse all year

They’ve actually admitted to making our experience worse intentionally

[ً @artfuIchaos]

turns out, reading a lot, exercising, loving people without expecting anything back, protecting your alone time, focusing only on improving yourself, and sometimes staying out late with friends who make you laugh until it hurts is a pretty good way to live.

[NepentheZ @NepentheZ]

I just want to address the elephant in the room with this post from Jamey.

He says,

"those that used third party tools could generate fodder and make squad progress in a way that was unbalanced compared to those that didn’t use those tools."

What about people that spent money in the store to generate fodder and make squad progress in a way that was unbalanced compared to those that didn't spend money in the store?

He says,

"To help protect against this creating a significant unfair advantage, we tuned down the overall experience (e.g. the upgrades on SBC player items or the repeatability of upgrade SBCs)."

You know what I'll say again already. If not creating a significant unfair advantage is so important then why are there SO. MANY. Store packs? You're saying in not too many words that so long as EA profit from an unfair advantage you're OK with it, but if EA don't profit from an unfair advantage then you'll take immediate action that whilst my balance the scales "fairly" for people using the tools on the web app - completely derails people who aren't using those tools AND aren't spending money - and I have a feeling that pool of people is significantly larger.

He says,

"Our end state goal is that all players operate on an even playing field."

But how can this be true, when you provide so many store packs so regularly?

I don't want to turn things into a war of words because the community really appreciates the transparancy we're getting right now - and I also appreciate that Jamey said;

"Obviously, this is far from ideal. SBCs are a fundamental way players upgrade their squad and recycle unwanted content, so we need to find a solution."

So this is clearly something they know and understand is a problem that needs fixing - but in what world can anything in the game ever be fair and balanced when it offers so much in the store?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Leftists accused of antisemitism (Mamdani, AES) go out of their way to say they love Jews and promise to protect them.
Conservatives accused of Islamophobia (Loomer, Fine, Tuberville, etc) proudly say ‘Yeah we don’t want Muslims here.’
Guess which ones the media covers intensely?

[coña @SprintDeRakitic]

Me parece de coña como una película de 2004 se ve mucho mejor, más real, con más vida y luz que las películas de hoy en día.

Y no, no es nostalgia.
