Here’s a random thought 💭 Whenever I use the term “family” I could either mean my parents and siblings OR my wife and kids. In the hundreds thousand years of human civilization, certainly we must have come up with two different words to describe both types at some point in history, perhaps an ancient culture in the past has done it.

Jumma Mubarak!

I see this a lot more in real life, complain about never ending issues, when you provide solutions, suddenly it’s either not that serious or just out right crazy. Self sovereignty for some reason is an illusion to Muslims, and I don’t know if there a deep psychological barrier. View quoted note →

I can’t believe there are mainstream YouTube new channels openly discussing 9/11 conspiracy theories. I know if I have not been paying attention to global news but what did I miss??

One of the most difficult aspects of not having any mainstream social media apps is family and friends sending you links and you keep reminding them you can’t see it. I’m getting exhausted 😭😭

Just watched Katrina documentary on Netflix 🤯🤯 Tell me why I thought Katrina was just natural disaster, it felt so familiar seeing what’s happening in Gaza. Racism was always and still is very alive and never left. Just a very enlightening documentary for sure.

I stand corrected, I always thought zakat was a form of taxes but I have now realized that value taken from hard working people for profit by the state is the inherently haram. Zakat comes from long term savings and they go directly to the ones in need. You live to learn.

So I recently started using Linux …

One thing I always can’t stop thinking about is fiat architecture and urban planning. Planning in general seems to be about, how can you fit as much function and aesthetics as possible, with tiny spaces and low quality materials. Not only is the cost of real estate ownership getting astronomically high, the quality of these estates is shamelessly horrendous which is the result of bad money. Urban planning is a whole other beast where it seems like North America has taken the lead on this and Europe somehow smartened up and changed Coarse. Single family home zoning is a literal cancer that has plagued these cities and most people in North America don’t even know it’s a problem. The idea that I NEED a car to survive is criminal. Cities were not only specifically designed this way, but purposefully demolished to create dystopian suburban cities, which is sad. Can’t afford a car? No problem here is a car loan! Btw if your gonna drive you need a driver’s license and insurance. The economic drawback is basically Keynesian 101. Existing Roads need to be maintained every few years so crazy amount of debt is issued, increasing the money supply, forget about the new roads that are being built. Physical and mental health issues takes a toll. It’s crazy how theres almost no positive outlook to this.

Here’s a crazy observation, cars are appreciating. That’s how bad the dollar is. An asset averaging 30k+ clicks with crazy wear and tear is “increasing in value” forget about food prices and houses. This financial crisis is wild!
