Take a tortilla wrap, put a slice of gouda young cheese in it, wrap like a wrap, 40 seconds in microwave et voila! Hot pocket and filling meal.

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.

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.

Because this time it really could lead to WWIII. The middle east has always been a powder keg, but this time, both sides have committed such atrocities that there’s no coming back from it, unless they sit back at the negotiation table. (They won’t).

For the Israeli side, it’s the 1400 dead and mutilated bodies and the 200 hostages they somehow forgot about. For Hamas, the last decades of living in an open air prison, harassment and dehumanising of their people. Also they have nothing to lose at this point. And the violence is not letting up.

If Israel continues with this bloodlust thing they’re doing by bombing civilians, journalists and UN workers indiscriminately to death, chances are the Hezbollah’s will get involved in Lebanon. They’re much more organised and subsidized. When they get seriously in, it means the US will be obliged to counter attack. When the US counterattacks, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Egypt, all the Arab countries (with A SHIT TON OF MONEY) will get involved too in this war. This means more death and a war that no one will win, only more dead civilians as usual.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is Netanyahu’s end goal. Forcing the US to join in on the war is their only way of winning this genocidal war. And to do that they have to antagonise all the regional players to a point that they can no longer look away from all the kids dying and start a real war on them so the Israeli can play the victim and be supported by the US and some (not all!) EU countries. This can break the world, divide the unity of the EU and pit them against the US. Africa will get involved too. Actually pit everyone against everyone…

And then we have China and Russia…this is literally their wet dream. They’ll swoop in and take over after everyone of importance dies.

Sorry, just very drunk and it is still a worst case scenario…

I know Belfius still has a few ATMs inside the building, they do show your balance. During the day you can enter without swiping your card, but after certain hours you have to your card to get in.

Also, they have the banking app so you can always check your balance and do payments as long as you have a debit or credit card. Unless you have a special expenses card when in debt collection I think.

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.

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.

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

I use it, because I have fibromyalgia. So it’s easier sometimes to just press the button on the kettle to makes some coffee. When I’m doing well, I always make Turkish coffee, since it feels like it makes me clearer way faster than other coffee does.

The bastards are so used to treats, it barely works anymore :). But dreamies has a new line out with catnip flavour they die for. I’ve been giving them very few of them, so that can help.

I’ll try it out. My friend is picking me up this afternoon and I’ll ask if we can scout a few locations.

I don’t know, I like my vagina but have often wished I was born male, just for how much easier life would be. This is biased of course.

On the other hand, I’ve never ever been mad or jealous of other people who wanted to change their gender or be themselves sexually (lbgtq+). Isn’t none of my business and people should have the right to do with their genitals as they please. It’s a basic human right, just like abortion.

We should disconnect our bodies from any labels is my point. That way, no government or religion can have an influence on it. The ‘My body, my choice’ is still the right way to go.

Wow, they had time I guess. It’s so beautiful!

It took me a few days of browsing All and blocking anything sports, games and anime related and now it’s far far better. They still pop up sometimes, but I make it a war effort to block them. It is exhausting, but worth the time.

I tried walking my cat, it did work but the problem was other people walking their dogs and letting them loose in parks. So I stopped going since it terrified him. I tried keeping him in his carrier backpack like thingy, but he still didn’t enjoy it.

Now I have a tuxedo devil kitten, maybe I’ll try it again. Just have to think hard about how and where he can be safe. Maybe just start with his carrier and then move on to the leash?

Yes, that’s me. I like it here, people are nicer in general. When I read some comments on political posts, it reminds me of Reddit and I quit. I don’t want them here, let Lemmy grow naturally or not at all. It’s hypocrisy I know, but just go look at r/all on Reddit and read the comments and justify wanting them here. Nope.

Martha Wells and her Murderbot series is hilarious. It really made me laugh out loud and I read every book back to back.

It’s about a robot that thinks he’s a psychopath and a murderer, who hacked his own circuits so he can pirate TV shows and watch them while on missions.

I won’t tell more, just read.

I’ve always wondered even as a child why we can’t get rid of genders and just call it human and nonhuman (to include our alien friends).

It would make life so much easier for everybody, except for writers I guess.

Yes, let’s blame the women again.

The better question would include the father of the incel or what kind of parents does the incel have?

Why not just take responsibility for who and what you are and I don’t know, just live your life? Get help and get over it. Women don’t owe you anything.

I’m more interested in how the incel would treat a woman if he ever found one.

It’s a new trick from scammers. They engage you that way and try to get money or gift cards from you.

(Bad) Reddit has a complete subreddit about it and people post how they string them along etc … it is hilarious.
