Hmm you could probably do something with a leaf-blower
So we saw Shazia Mirza's show "The Kardashians Made Me Do It" tonight and it was wonderful and hilarious in large part because she just doesn't give a fuck (but in a deeply serious and caring way). It was about a lot of things but was billed as presenting a special theory of Islamic radicalization, specifically the radicalization of young Muslim girls in the west. In her telling, ISIS is the One Direction of Islam and these young impressionable jihadi brides are skipping off to Syria not out of religious fervor but out of misguided and repressed horniness. Anyway, it was a blast but the end was hella weird because she actually read a couple of Hadith (set to a dope-ass hiphop beat) and it was eerie as hell because, well:
(I couldn't find the versions she read) The second one I believe is considered less authentic, but nevertheless old as hell.Quote:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "In the last days of this world there will appear some young foolish people who will use (in their claim) the best speech of all people (i.e. the Qur'an) and they will abandon Islam as an arrow going through the game. Their belief will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have practically no belief), so wherever you meet them, kill them, for he who kills them shall get a reward on the Day of Resurrection."
[...]
"If you see the black flags *, then remain on the ground and do not move a hand or a leg.
A group of feeble folk to whom no concern is given will then appear - their hearts are like iron [1].
They are the owners of the state [2].
They fulfill neither a contract nor a covenant [3].
They call to the truth, but they are not its people [4].
Their names are a kuniya (their leaders name will start with Abu meaning Father of) and their lineage (surnames) are a town [5].
Their hair is unwinding, like the hair of a women [6].
(Do this) until they differ in it between themselves, then Allah will give the right to whomever HE desires."
I haven't really spent any time on researching the eschatology of ISIS but it's easy to get the impression that they're deliberately trying to fit these "predictions" as closely as possible. Creepy
Ah, the power of marketing? In open societies it's advertising, in closed societies it's propaganda. But we're all vulnerable/susceptible; it's part of the human condition.
Wraith, maybe they already know about the big hole in their jeans....;)
Bob freakin' Dylan?!
From the articles I read, he's been a contender for several years now.Quote:

Y'know, I am one of those suckers who bought a Samsung Note 7. And the way Samsung Germany went about the whole disaster is quite noteworthy and makes me never want to buy from the again.
First they vehemently denied any problems even when Samsung USA had already begun the recall.
Then they made me waste an hour of my time for replacing the device - they used a hot-swap delivery with UPS - meaning that I could only receive the new one directly in exchange for the old one. Only problem: UPS always delivers their stuff at 11.30am. When I'm at school. And since Samsung didn't tell me of this beforehand, I couldn't negotiate a different place (like, my school) and the delivery method also forbade any changes to the address afterwards. Which meant that I had to drive to the logistics center myself which meant driving through the Elbtunnel which currently is a traffic jam nightmare even at 07.00pm.
Then they vehemently denied anything wrong again even when they had already stopped production. You don't stop production of a new product for trivial problems, guys.
And now they want me to send the device back to them (again, wasting my own time here). Without the special container they're using in the US.
And of course, without giving me either 25 € straight or 100 € if I switched to, say, a S7 Edge, as in the US.
The S7 Edge is nice, if you can stomach another Samsung phome.
Nope. I already am annoyed by several other devices by Samsung, this will be my very last Samsung device for the foreseeable future.

dedicated troll or guardian of RB's future?
So a 15-y-o kid from Iraq is being personally harrassed and publicly trashed all over Swedish social media, by Lewk and RB's Swedish compatriots, after appearing on a panel discussion TV with the Swedish minster of education and some other kids aged 14-16. The reason? He looks too old. He has a beard. He's buff. He looks menacing. Obviously he's a 30-y-o asylum-seeker who's lied about his age in order to be able to settle in Sweden. Several prominent members of the Swedish Racist Party have participated in this witch-hunt and accused him of being a 30-y-o man lying about his age.
Of course that means that he'd have been about 21 years old when he came to Sweden with the rest of his family, and around 22 in first grade, surrounded by 7-year-olds.
These people are so fucking dumb. I wish they'd all just move to the US where they fucking belong.
You're being a dick, Aimless.
Sorry, comes with being a violent liberal leftist.
But yes, they should get the opportunity to form their own opinions. Voila:

I must say that I am not convinced by the claim that the person in the picture is 15. I know that some 17 year old boys in the middle east actually do look like that, but if his official age is 15 I would still have doubts about him being registered at a moment close to his birth. The brother of my best friend in Turkey officially is 3 years younger than his real age.
I'm not particularly bothered by the notion because, growing up, I had Swedish-born Kurdish friends who went from looking like babies to looking like fully grown terrorists almost overnight, kinda like this:Quote:

Of course, this doesn't change the fact that people are essentially alleging that he must have been 22 when he started in first grade. His parents musta been some really skilled liars is all I'm saying. Must be all that extra taqiyya practice they got in on the trip to Sweden :noob:
The metro station near my house is going to be renovated. That already is annoying all by itself, because they'll take forever to strip it, repaint it and put in a new elevator and they will simply shut down the entrance on my side for what I fear may be up to 6 months. Today the preparations started; on the parking space for bicycles which measures about 15 by 20 meters next to the entrance they had placed an announcement that they'd start removing bicycles as of the 7th of november, the start date of the work. Plates are about 60 by 100 cm and yellow with black lettering. So far so good, but the real WTF factor was that they put up 11 signs. It's like a bloody forest of notices.
They probably expect 10 to get stolen.
:o
There are so many good charities asking for donations. Apparently, it costs about the same to adopt an orphaned/abused human child as it does for a cat or dog, around $16/month. WTF?
By someone who wants to build a bicycle shed ?Quote:

You guys can't manage to update your desktops, but you can make a gimmicky touch bar for your laptop? Wth?
Can this election season be over already?
Your video got DMCA'd, Loki
Thanks. It's the Mike Kirk being a racist asshole video.

Love the responses. Someone tries to be helpful and this is the price they pay. I swear some people care more about feigning outrage than actually helping people.
That is pretty rich coming from you.Quote:

I'm impressed they knew what that meant.

Assuming this is being accurately reported, what the hell is wrong with the professor?
I was at the gym today. There was this young guy getting changed at the same time as I. I will admit he was quite a looker, but what really drew my attention was that his clothes changing routine (he was getting ready for his work-out) was very much an affair between him, his outfit and the mirror. I don't think I have never seen anyone look in a mirror that intently for that long ever before.
He was probably keeping an eye on you.
