Five months until hundreds of LEGO sets retire FOREVER.
Three months until I send the majority of retired LEGO I bought last year into Amazon for Christmas.
Rinse and repeat every year.
Easiest business model I have ever followed. #LEGO
Made my entire yearly salary this week , it’s such an insane feeling knowing that I never have to work a 9-5 ever again in my life , I hope you all get to experience one day
Unpopular opinion: vacation culture has gotten out of control.
Why are we always trying to escape the lives we worked so hard to build?
If being home feels boring and every break requires a flight, a hotel and thousands spent… maybe the problem isn’t your lack of vacations.
We were discussing at a close family gathering who should take our beloved grandmother back to her house. Eventually, it was decided that it would be her grandsons, including me.
As her grandchildren were walking her to the car, one was holding her bags, another was holding her by the arm, while the third was opening the door for her—all of them trying their best to serve her—I realised that one of the most successful lies that have been sold to us, especially the sisters, is that being a single woman with a career brings happiness and prosperity.
Unfortunately, once such a person has made enough money and travelled to the places they have desired, whilst taking counterfeit pictures of smiles, they end up home alone with their cat or dog.
On the contrary, a simple woman, who may not be that “educated”, but has loyally served as a mother, not only gets the reward in the hereafter, but also sees her fruits in this world, Inshā’Allāh. Her children and grandchildren, who were given life through her, are there for her, respect her and want the best for her. Not because she has a PhD or is a manager, but because she is the most important person in the family. She is the mother; she is the backbone; she is the one under whose feet Paradise is.
May Allah grant us all pious children and grandchildren, and grant us the ability to look after and respect our family’s elders. Amin.
The fertility industry has a financial incentive to skip diagnostics and go straight to IVF.
IVF costs $15K-$30K per cycle. A full hormone panel costs a few hundred dollars. An advanced semen analysis costs $400. Basic bloodwork to check thyroid antibodies, insulin resistance, vitamin D, 7 DPO progesterone, and inflammation markers is a fraction of what one egg retrieval costs.
But nobody makes money when a woman fixes her vitamin D deficiency and gets pregnant on her own. Nobody profits when a man improves his sperm quality through three months of lifestyle changes. The profit is in the procedure, and the system is built to funnel you there as fast as possible.
I'm not anti-IVF. I think it's a medical miracle for people who genuinely need it. But a massive percentage of couples doing IVF have never had basic root-cause testing done, and that is honestly insane to me.
Here’s 30 seconds of master debater Andrew Wilson. He opens by claiming everyone in Iran is a pedophile. He then says that intentionally killing 200 little girls is good because that’s better than being raped. He then admits it is a war which makes it illegal.
His argument here is that Donald Trump who just covered up the largest child sex trafficking ring in American history is saving children by murdering them. Jeffery Epstein was one of Donald trumps best friends who probably sold him his wife.
I can’t wait for him to represent the state versus Tyler Robinson.
Many women spend 10+ years actively suppressing their cycles with birth control and then are shocked when they come off it and have no idea how their body works.
I was one of them. I was on the pill all through my teen years and most of my 20s and I could not have told you what an LH surge was, what cervical mucus meant, or what my luteal phase should look like.
We are raising an entire generation of women who have never experienced a real menstrual cycle and honestly, it is a little frightening to even think about. By the time they want to conceive, they are starting from zero with a body they've never actually met.
The female body is a miracle and getting intimately in tune with it is a privilege so many women are missing out on.
i swear depression gives you brain damage. No cap. Like, i feel like i’ve lost so much brain capacity after the really, really bad depressive episodes i’ve had in the past few years. My memory is so, so, so bad now. i can’t recall anything. i feel so dumb all of the time…
Diaspora Islam is survival Islam. It asks: "How do I stay Muslim in a non-Muslim land?" It does not ask: "How do I build a civilization?" It cannot. The conditions prevent it. So the diaspora Muslim bcomes an expert in identity maintenance, halal food,Islamic schools, anti-racism
