Its amazing how worked up ppl get when told how their feelings are simply a bio-hormonal soup “off” it’s normal which can be corrected by basic actions If you feel like you: hate everyone, eat everyone hates you, sleep you hate yourself, shower everyone hates everyone, go out

A random thing someone told me once that I now think about constantly: If you feel like you hate everyone, eat. If you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. If you feel like you hate yourself, shower. If you feel like everyone hates everyone, go outside.

An Islamabad based IT company has introduced performance related fines (yes fines, not bonuses) in order to identify weakest members of the dev team and 'boost' their performance.

Re-telling of covid's origin story in @guardian today misses key points about the whistleblowers, the seafood market, test kit and vaccine development in China, and publication of the first SARS-CoV-2 genome. I'll add them back into the story...

@Taimur_Laal Please learn the difference between an exponentially growing phenomena and static ones. Corona is growing st an exponential rate, the rest are not. Number of deaths doesn’t matter, they can surge and disrupt health care networks, etc. panic early and prevent more disruption/death

We are all doing the same job. We teach the same number of classes. I don't think my labor is worth $20,000 LESS than that of my econ colleagues. More money please.

If you invest ~$200,000 ̶i̶n̶ ̶P̶a̶k̶ ̶d̶o̶l̶l̶a̶r̶ ̶b̶o̶n̶d̶ ̶ in getting an investor visa leading to immigration anywhere, you’d never have to read moronic tweets packaging childish political punditry as investment advice-you’d have better shit to do The risk is worth taking

Can somone please tell idiots in the media etc, not to waste PPE for the sake of their bullshit stunts? If you’re not in an emergency theater you don’t need this. If this was a joke, it wasn’t particularly funny especially if other equally brain dead turds start buying this gear

People who have the audacity to sing praises about this country/returning here should jump off the nearest bridge. Thugs, gangsters rule here, ghatya zaleel mulk/qom.

Support anti war protests, but can such lame self deprecating condescension stop already? “Demanding” the safe return of a captured PoW when there was absolutely no evidence that he would’ve been denied a return, or that he was being kept in unsafe conditions/being mistreated

This is Piotr Patkowski, Poland’s deputy finance minister. He looks *extremely* like a 12-year-old playing dress up as a kid’s idea of a grown man. He’s 29.

Truly a black swan moment. What decades written books & theses, radical poetry, activism couldn’t achieve. This may not be the end … it is the end of the beginning

Most Sunnis aren’t chay like you, and happily wait. In many gatherings, they break fast with dates, take a quick break for prayers and when they return both can eat together. Instead of shitting on others you couldn’t wait 7 min for your “friends”

My shia mutuals Do you beleive in doing aftari 10 min earlier in social gatherings or you awkwardly keep staring at people while they eat up all the stuff and you do aftari with leftover sharbat and pakoray, if at all leftover 🤔
