I'm guessing it's like Christianity where there are leftist Christians who follow Jesus' more progressive messages such as giving to the less fortunate and healing the sick, and then there are the scary Christian evangelicals that want A Handmaids Tale and conversion therapy. Logically, Islam probably isn't a monolith in a similar way other religions aren't.

However, I have never heard about what those of the Islamic faith actually believe outside of the hysterical post 9/11 Islamophobia I've been indoctrinated with as a child.

I want to know what the truth is and hear the other sides story. To me it's obvious that Islamophobia is wrong, however when Islamophobes make wild claims about it, I can't really refute them confidently because I'm simply ignorant of the facts. Please educate my dumb, white ass.

These people sure seem serious about their soccer, but I don’t have a home team.

Should I just copy my wife? It might be funny to root against her soccer team sometimes tho.

What is hexbears opinions on British soccer?

I had dinner about 3 hours ago and accidentally swallowed something hard that I felt in my throat. Afterward, my throat felt off, so I took a cough lozenge and later some flurbiprofen AL. Now, when I try to clear my throat, I notice blood in my spit. Initially, it was pinkish, but now it looks more like typical blood. I didn’t see what I swallowed—just that it was part of a potato dish.

I’m assuming it’s either a small wound or maybe something stuck. Any advice? I definitely feel something in my throat but can’t tell what it is.

The bleeding started about an hour ago, and I also feel very light stomach pain. (not sure if its connected to the rest) There isn’t a ton of blood in my spit, but enough to make me concerned (not enough to call an ambulance, I think).

I kind of dont wanna go to bed in case it gets worse and I miss it . But if it stays bad I need to see a doc in the morning.

Any input- tipps etc welcome

He wants to hire me as a talent scout when I leave rehab, but is willing to pay for my recovery home once I leave rehab. According to him he's "Dummy rich, an anarchist, and was saved by someone in the same way" in the 90s. Can I get fucked over by accepting this dude's help?

Just any nice stuff that's gone on there. I'd appreciate any media format. Especially video.

Need this ASAP

And the bigger question, will he still be my friend when I WIPE THE FLOOR WITH HIM

Also remember this is who you think would win, not who you like more

i feel like Goku would do well with the younger demographics but they would be outnumbered by the boomers and gen Xers who would vote for Superman

Taking suggestions

Would any students or even teachers/profs be willing to give me feedback on my (very) short essay?

It's an essay about how Bisclavret: The Werewolf (a medieval story) is a queer allegory about coping with human nature being different than what is described in Adam and Eve (i.e cis heteronormative monogamy) which was and is the dominant Christian view of human nature.

Most of the essays on Google/DuckDuckGo that come up when you look up "Bisclavret" are queer essays, including an essay published by the foundation of original author, but my prof told me:

• you didn't even talk about the major point of the story which is that Bisclavret is a werewolf

• I don't know why you think the king and Bisclavret are engaged in a sexual relationship

• the connections to homosexuality are tenuous at best

I just want to know if he's docking my marks based on his personal bias or if I'm genuinely not meeting the rubric. I'm second guessing myself and I'm worried I'm overreacting, I'm very sure that I met the rubric requirements but I feel like he just doesn't like my analysis or wants to shut it down because it was using a queer lens (white presumably religious cis het male prof from a religious university/college). I’m afraid if I dispute it he will retaliate and grade me even worse but I also feel very discouraged so if I'm not overreacting I want to dispute it.

I can send an anonymized link to a scrubbed essay and the professor’s feedback through DM if anyone wants to help

This shit is killing the internet.

What is the point of this little breast pocket near my left shoulder?

I have like 10 t-shirts with a tiny breast pocket right over my left nipple, and what am I supposed to put in there? I've never put fucking anything in this pocket, but it's always there with a tiny tag from whatever manufacturer made the shirt.

I'm on this server in a game and the Spanish guild is 4 times the size of every other guild on the server and also they're assholes.

What topics can I drop into worldchat that will probably cause issues among them?

I know fuck all about ways to be a wrecker with the spanish. What will make spanish people mad at other spanish people? Ideally they end up hating each other and split.

Update: The #1 killscore player on their group has now taken to regularly spamming "parla catala o emigrate" into worldchat. This is probably going to rub somebody the wrong way so things are going smoothly for day 1 of my op.

May sound like but I am actually curious here.

Does seem like all you're doing is helping labor aristocrats get better access to tasty treats.

Hillary in 2016 and now most definitely Kamala in 2024

Does anyone have any good literature/a nice summary on how and why all of the former Soviet states and Warsaw pact countries have basically fully reversed course and become reactionary hellholes? Was it lack of socialist education? Western influence before and after the collapse? Disillusioned population due to mismanagement (I'm thinking Romania here)?

Thanks a lot!

"Okay, so both parties are bad, but what else can we do other than vote?"

There are going to be a lot of disenfranchised liberals that have lost faith in electoralism. Rather than allow the people to fall into doomerism or denial, what advice would you give people who are realising that western democracies are broken and that voting for the lesser evil is impossible? What action would you tell them to take?

Just so wild to me. I now work with people who make massive screw ups on the regular. In any case, is there a name for this sort of fantastical boot camp I described?

Heard the latter in an our changing climate video. I like the alliteration of it and I think it will prevent confusion from the public. I imagine a lot of people hear ecofascism and assume it is backed by environmentalists

Get the “ but we’re liberals 🤓” joke out now.

Obviously we’re very far left and vocal about being anti establishment, some things I’ve seen posted here, whilst I won’t admit I agree with :) are pretty sus from a feds perspective. If the site was raided and if people were subject to arrests, what do you think they would be charged with? We’re obviously on a list of course but the same can be said about all people tbh so I don’t really care about that, but since the political sphere in the US is becoming more mask off fash from both parties especially the drump comment about “enemy within” what do you think the future is? Also what crime is committed exactly? Might be a weird example but places like Georgia are racially targeting rappers by using their lyrics as evidence that they have committed crimes, couldn’t something similar happen here on this space? Does anyone have any examples of what the crime committed would be exactly or does it fall under .

I think it’s already been alarming for years but even more so with the multitude of arrests of people in support of Palestine including students who were just present at protests. I’ve seen people on here say we have to be organized etc in order for feds to take an initiative, but who knows exactly.

I just wanna know what crime and what jail I’ll be sent to if it all comes to that
