You seem to keep trying to bring me into your arguement. I was not arguing all that drama. I was just saying your islamopobia was showing. That is all.

Please realize, I am just an impartial observer and your aggression doesn't seem to help your agenda.

The reason this is relevant is because he has spent the better part of a year complaining about “illegal immigrants” who are “invading” the country. But an old video from 2013 resurfaced on Saturday that appears to show the billionaire admitting he was at one point building his small business in the country illegally, describing it as a “gray area.”

She refuses to let me tell her why I can barely function. She refuses to let me describe what I'm going through. She says she "can't handle it", that "it's not a top priority right now", that she's "trying to understand" why I've made this "choice" while also telling me things like "but I like you the way you are" and rejecting any information I send to her because she'd rather consult her friends that she "trusts more".

She starts to have a panic attack whenever I try to talk to her about it and God forbid I tell her that she made a mistake because then I obviously hate her guts and want her to die. She's literally accused me of that.

Those paragraphs reminded me of the [email protected] community.

Except that the person is intentionally misdirecting the entire convo in order to invalidate an entire highly problematic edifice of issues.

I did no such thing.

The widely-used definition of “Islamophobia” does much the same to insulate Islam, the religion, from criticism as well, allowing all sorts of horrific things - from honour killings over sexual slavery to apostate killings - in the name of “protecting Islamic values”.

My Muslim neighbor seems pretty chill. I doubt he partakes in honor killings, sexual slavery, and/or apostate killings in his free time.

There are extremists in almost any facet of humankind, especially so when religion gets involved. It's best not to paint everyone with the same brush.

i promise to put it all to good use

You're going to take a butter bath, aren't you?

I really don't get why so many people call Mint good for beginners. There are so many reasons it's not

Just out of curiosity would you list a few please? I run Mint (I'm not a beginner but not really an expert either) and have recommended it to people wanting to switch to Linux. If it's not good for beginners I probably shouldn't suggest it anymore.

You use Edge? Why?

Estimates vary, but we're expected to reach "peak human" around 2070 or 2080, at which point there will be between 9.4 billion and 10.4 billion people on the planet. It may be a slow process – if we reach 10.4 billion, the UN expects the population to remain at this level for two decades – but eventually after this the population is projected to decline.

The sign was erected in 1923 and originally marked “HOLLYWOODLAND”. Its purpose was to announce the name of the new development of separate housing in the hills above the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
