Where does casey anthony's parents live

Does anyone remember a program that was at Joy elementary school where you spent the night for about 3 days and got interviewed to be selected to fly to another country for 30 days to stay with another family? Not sure what it was called I just remembered I was selected to go to Denmark. My parents didn't let me go for obvious reasons. I just wanted to know what the purpose Was or if anyone was selected and actually went. Was between 2006-2010 I believe. I was in it when I was in 4th grade or something

Hello,
This may not be the right forum to reach out to but I wasn't sure where to turn. I guess I'm hoping to find someone with knowledge or experience with the UK adoption system who can offer advice.
A while ago I made the decision that I would not have biological children due to the climate crisis. However, I want to be a mum more than anything, and have always been really open to the idea of adopting, even before this, and I really believe it is the right path for me. This is not something I am looking to do right away, as I am still not at that point in my life where I am ready to become a parent, however I have a few concerns for the future regarding my circumstances.
I graduated from university about a year ago now, and became heavily involved in climate activism, as I know things desperately need to change if we want our children to have a safe world to grow up in. I have been arrested multiple times (for taking non-violent-direct action) and currently do not have a criminal record as I have been acquitted, but I expect my luck will eventually change. My partner is the same.
I have done research, and it suggests that having a criminal record does not automatically prevent you from adopting (unless it is a crime against a child or a sexual crime). It would however mean of course, that we would have to disclose this information and it would be discussed. I want to be hopeful that by the time I am looking to go through this process, people will be more aware of the urgency of the climate crisis, and that I will be able to explain my actions as reasonable and actions that were carried out with love in an attempt to change things to preserve some kind of habitable future and build a better world for this child. But I am so afraid that we would just be seen as extremists and automatically denied.
As I said, I want to be a mother more than anything, the thought of this is heartbreaking and I'm not sure what I would do.
Has anyone involved in the climate movement or with knowledge of the adoption system experienced anything relating to this or have any advice?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

(If required, leave a comment on something i have said; and i will try to find an accurate source for my claims.)
Dear Bonnell.
To a lot of people consuming your content, you come off as a stoic/cold person with a "could not care less" attitude. A lot of the times, this is clear as day.
However with the recent drama with Brittany Simon, I was surprised, and my notion of you and your relationships/interactions with other people have lead me down this rabbithole. There are 3 possibilites that i see. 1. Very neurodivergent/different 2. Being too hedonistic 3. Grifting/intentionally farming
You have stated that you are very good with your relationships. However I do think that you have a big blind spot when it comes to these relationships. You claim that you dont care, something that I would for the most part agree with. If we were friends, and I were to make a joke about a family member of yours, I dont think you would care. Its also clear to me that you dont care emotionally about sex. This was very apparent in one of your recent conversations with Aba, where it came out that you had an issue with cheating. Even on Melina. A question to Destiny viewers: Would you be in an open relationship with your wife/girlfriend? The answer I think, would be an obvious "no!" However to those that were to say yes, or if I had to engage in a relationship like this. Most of us would probably fall in on the same trap as Melina. I would NOT want my wife/girlfriend fuck 5 other dudes, by the time I have had sex with 1 woman. Most of the viewers, would once again agree that either it would be a 1:1, or that the particular viewer would get to fuck as many women as possible while their partner would have sex with less people than them.
My point about this, is that youre not emotionally connected to sex, Destiny. It seems like Melina is more on the "normie" side of engaging with sex. Cheating to me, shows a clear issue in a relationship, where the communication have been lacking. Maybe this is something you two didnt talk about properly beforehand? Im not trying to get into you guys' relationship, Im just trying to paint it clear that your emotional connection to sex is out of the ordinary. Even by poly-standards.
Youre a smart dude Destiny, so when i saw your reaction to Brittany talking ill about you, i was shocked. Yes she was in the wrong. No you didnt do anything wrong. I am once again asking for the viewers expertise here. Did Brittany actually surprise any of you? This is a person talking about being introspective, and have a level system for it. For me, that is just cringe. Not evil, not good. Just cringe. I have some internal thoughts about people talking about being enlightened, open minded, and introspective; that makes me not like it. Why? Because I feel like I'm exactly those 3 things, but I also know that I'm 100% not correct about everything I say, and that I dont find it productive to pretend like I do, even if its how I feel internally. Essentially holding onto my ego, but socially keeping it in check.
What else do we know about Brittany? She has multiple times stated that she is mentally ill , to quote one of the things from this link: " A mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in your daily life, such as at school or work or in relationships. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and talk therapy (psychotherapy)." STRIKE 1
Another thing she has mentioned, is her usage of drugs. STRIKE 2 And lastly, she is an online content creator (money incentive). STRIKE 3 3 Strikes! Youre out!
With these things in mind, its very clear to me that this isnt a person that you can trust 100%, and I believe that the other viewers feel the same.
You (Destiny), have stated multiple times that you are good with relationships, and that you enjoy "crazy" people. That is completely fine. However there are times where those relationships have bit you in the ass. When i say bit you in the ass, i of course just mean "have to deal with annoying stupid shit". Examples are Sneako (talking shit about you and your wife), Mr.Girl (power struggles/trying to fuck you over), Ana (mental problems), Lav (idk... shes kinda weird). My experiences with "crazy" people. I have some friends that have crazy friends. One of these guys, is a particularly violent person. Im friendly towards him, and keep my guard up even more than I usually do. Im careful with what sorts of jokes im making, im careful with getting too close with him (friendship wise), because I know that his temper will get him in trouble; and I dont want that. There are certain types of stress I just want to keep out of my life, some because of possible legal reasons, and some because of annoyance/stress they would put on my life. I am fully aware of my close friends issues, and I'm emotionally prepared if their problems will cascade into bigger problems (whether they get depression, financial struggles, relationship struggles, etc.), and make sure I will not get fucked over by their stupidity. I worked way too hard in my life to get where I am, just for someone else to tear it down.
I obviously have some "interesting"/"crazy" friends, and there is nothing wrong with that! My issue with you (Destiny), is that when you say "I dont care", it seems like that is on a verbal and sexual level. Dont care if your wife fucks other people, as long as you get your dick wet. Dont care if people say mean jokes, as long as you can say your mean jokes. When it comes to a relationships though, you seem to care a lot! Friendships means a lot to you, and you form them very quickly/weirdly. My example of this, is when I was younger, and I fell in love with a girl in my class. Did i know her? No. Did i talk to her? No. She was just a cute girl, and I was a shy boy. As I've grown older, I find any sort of crush on people, who you havent even spoken to, to be childish, naive, and asking for trouble. Even if a woman is hot, I still keep my guard up, and try to scout through all possible red flags before I open myself up and give her my emotional affection/care. How much you care for someone emotionally, should be reserved, and given to the person carefully, whether its a close friend, or a girlfriend, the same rules applies.
Thats why i was surprised by your reaction. You were questioning yourself, almost like if you were insane. You couldnt believe what you were hearing, it seemed so surprising to you, like a dagger in your back! If you opened up a tweet and a KKK member spoke ill about black people, would you be surprised? Or if Sneako talked about the jews? Would that make you emotionally react the same way you did on stream about the Brittany sitation?
You emotionally care to a very high extent, and to a level in which I think most of your viewers would find abnormal, considering the person and the friendship. Was it mean of her? Yes. Was it surprising? About as surprising as if i told you "im going to say the word 'fuck' to you within the next 24 hours". Of course it may actually catch you off guard, but it wasnt really a surprise. This is how I feel about people like Brittany. My own reaction to Brittany and friends like her I didnt care, and wouldnt care. Dont get me wrong, it sucks that a friend would do this, but I wouldnt be getting so loud and flustered about it. I wouldnt even question myself. Id say where she was wrong about her points, i would say that shes acting fucking stupid. Internally, thinking about the friendship; I would most likely think that shes going through something troubling (due to the mental illness), and put the friendship on hold. Once shes snapped out of it, I would want her to get on stream and apologize/explain why she was wrong, and then we could be friends again. But... a friendship with a person like this, is not a friendship that you can be yourself 100%.
Ask yourself if you are 100% yourself around your son Nathan. Of course you are being yourself, but youre also being a parent. You dont let your guard down, and youre not surprised if he does some dumb stuff that children do. A parent and a friend/bestfriend, are two completely different things. You bear SO MUCH responsibility being a parent. Making sure that they eat properly, shower, do social things, are productive, and so on. What about a person with down syndrome? Im obviously not comparing your son to a person with down syndrome, rather im comparing Brittany to one due to her background. Do you feel confident that your friend with down syndrome would be able to be more responsible than you? What if you and your friend with down syndrome had to wake up early, catch a flight, talk to someone about something important, and so on. Would you honestly put trust in the person with down syndrome to take charge and help you through all of this, or would you think that the person with down syndrome is a friend; but that you are the more responsible/mature one? Therefore not being as surprised by their actions/lack of actions.
So lets compare this situation to Mr.Mouton or Dan. Would you feel more confident in giving them the power to wake you up early to catch the flight? To have the conversation with a person about something important? I would. I am way more confident in that Dan, Mouton, or Aba (even if the relationship isnt as close) would understand the responsibility and have the maturity to make sure that things are going smooth, rather than someone with a big mental illness. Of course there are people who have mental illnesses who are functioning just fine, but I believe that Brittany have enough red flags, to NOT take her friendship serious, and NOT keep her as close as i would keep Dan for instance.
Sure. Sometimes you dont want boring Dan to talk about the catpiss he collected on his 2nd floor, but that doesnt make him less of a friend, or worse of a friend. One of the amazing things about men (generalizing) is that we can be friends, not speak for two months, but we can still have a good emotional friendship (no shit talking, no back stabbing, etc.). So if you want to explore some "interesting" or crazy people, that is completely cool! Just remember that your real friends that you should have an emotional connection to, are not necessarily the people that are the most interesting people, or the people you talk to the most often.
Where does this lead us? My point is just that you are giving credance and emotional affection to people who dont deserve/need it. Choose your CLOSE friends wisely, and those friends that arent as close, shouldnt give you an emotional reaction, like Brittany did! Friends are friends, but friends come and go. Close friends are like family, and they are eternal. Thats why it hurts when they stab you in the back. If Dan stabbed you in the back, I would 100% understand the emotional reaction. You have to keep in mind that even though this drama may or may not have been a small burden for your significant othefriends, its not fun for them to hear you go apeshit over "drama" like this. It can be stressful/annoying, and over time, that can tear down your relationships with people who actually care about you!
​
What about the 3 possibilities...? This is where it gets interesting. The 3 possibilities were 1. Very neurodivergent/different Of course not saying this as an insult, but more so explaining the reality of your friendships. The big emotional reaction? Questioning yourself/your sanity? Talking about it for multiple hours? It was to be expected, or atleast the possibility of it.
If this is the case, then you should really work on the way you say "I dont care" (and with whom you form friendships with). You dont care about sex or insults. However you do care emotionally about friendships, even friendships that are doomed to fail. Is this a hedonistic trait where you choose to get the highest of highs, but also the lowest of lows? Or do you just not understand the social expectations and dynamics with the people you interact with?
2. Being too hedonistic If its not about you being socially unaware, and you say "yes its 100% my hedonistic tendencies" then i dont think that you are "allowed" to get an emotional outburst out of it. Its your stream, so of course you can do whatever you want. My analogy is that youre a stranger on the street, and you want to do a 360 kickflip over something dangerous, I tell you "hey be careful bud" and then you say "i dont care, fuck off" following up with failing the jump, harming yourself, and then screaming in the middle of the street like you just got shot. I understand the pain bro, but you really set yourself up for that. I find it weird that you would start screaming and crying in the middle of street after the failed jump, its not illegal, just a socially and publicly weird thing to do. 3. Grifting/intentionally farming
If im wrong about #1, and also wrong about #2, then this is the last case. You are intentionally overreacting to the drama, and you love it! Its easy content, and easy money! No shame in that BUT! In my opinion, this takes away from the fact that you are "honest" and "my entire life is on the internet!" Youre essentially not being yourself, and playing a persona on stream. Dont get me wrong, I dont expect you to talk to us like you talk to your closest friend/family off stream, but it does give a bad vibe. Example of the vibe I would be getting. Imagine if someone said something racist/homophobic, and i were to really overreact on stream. Going on about it for 3 hours, yelling screaming, but once i go off stream; my friends use all the slurs and i just laugh about it, and I didnt care at all what anyone said. Is that fair? Sure it is. I dont care what anyone says in private, but if you use the slurs excessively in private, then I dont want you to pretend like you have a big issue with it when someone else slips it out in public. Of course this analogy isnt a 1:1, but you get what im saying. It feels very dishonest.
Thank you for reading.

Hey everyone. I hope I can get some good advice here.
This is going to be long so please stick with me here.
Here it goes: I am currently at a streak of 100+ days of nofap. And I am proud of that. My attempts have been longer though. I started almost a year back. First I did 7 days. Then 10 days. 15,20,25,30,35,45 and now finally 100+.
I want to continue this streak. When I began the 100 day my actual intent was just stopping it altogether completely or do it at my convenience when I get my own apartment(I am a student so living with parents).The apartment is probably 3 years down the road.
Now comes the problem. Everything was fine till like 10 days back. Then one day I am scrolling through Instagram and I get an anime reel suggested. A sexy one. I watch it I move one. But as You know that's enough for the algorithm. Next day I get suggested more of these reels and posts. so I watch them and click on them. I also get suggested non-anime(or h-anime) content like really sexy women in very sexual positions. I click on them too as I am more excited. Now the last three days when I get this stuff suggested I go to the page itself to watch more such content. This is where it gets worse. Yesterday I get youtube recommendation for a Fashion show with this very hot model in the thumbnail. So I watch it. Then even hotter one the black tape project gets suggested and I watch. I go to their page and there's this video on see through clothing. I hope I dont need to go on.
To control the urges I also go to youtube and watch erwin's speech(no aot spoilers please). While it does the trick at the time I later Start getting urges again. So I don't know what to do. I wanna give in one time to get this of my mind but then I also hate the feeling right after the deed. Probably because I hate cleaning up the mess.
I already suffer from OCD and other mental issues. Doing this would just further trigger my Ocd but I can't get this off my mind. I feel like if I do it I will be disappointing Erwin(the goat). I will be disappointing myself. But if I do it My head might finally be clear.
So what do I do guys. Please I'd appreciate some serious answers and help.

Hello,
This may not be the right forum to reach out to but I wasn't sure where to turn. I guess I'm hoping to find other members of the community who may have gone through this process or have knowledge on the adoption process in the UK.
A while ago I made the decision that I would not have biological children due to the climate crisis. However, I want to be a mum more than anything, and have always been really open to the idea of adopting, even before this. This is not something I am looking to do right away, as I am still not at that point in my life where I am ready to become a parent, however I have a few concerns for the future regarding my circumstances.
I graduated from university about a year ago now, and became involved in activism full-time, meaning that this is what I dedicate my life to. I have been arrested multiple times (for taking non-violent-direct action) and currently do not have a criminal record as I have been acquitted, but I expect my luck will eventually change. My partner is the same.
I have done research, and it suggests that having a criminal record does not automatically prevent you from adopting (unless it is a crime against a child or a sexual crime). It would however mean of course, that we would have to disclose this information and it would be discussed. I want to be hopeful that by the time I am looking to go through this process, people will be more aware of the reality of the climate crisis, and that I will be able to explain my actions as reasonable and actions that were carried out in love in an attempt to change things to preserve some kind of habitable future and build a better world for this child. But I am so afraid that we would just be seen as extremists and automatically denied.
As I said, I want to be a mother more than anything, and the thought of this is heartbreaking and I'm not sure what I would do.
Has anyone involved in the climate movement or with knowledge of the adoption system experienced anything relating to this or have any advice?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone that has dealt with long periods of self-isolation had moments or lapses in time where they don’t remember what they did? Short term memory loss. & to preface my situation, I have been living alone for years with no friends or social gatherings and this has caused deep self isolation.
For example, I will do things around home or call/txt someone and not recall any of it. If I do, it is a very small amount of a 3-5 hour period where I “blacked out”. The next day when trying to remember what I did is brutal and becomes embarrassing as I will not recall hour long conversations I had with someone the day before.
I think this is apart of severe depression I have been battling.
When I do have the occasional social interaction things are better. I think my long term memory has been effected by this period as well. I’m trying to find more social things to do and get out more, but this ‘memory loss’ gets my anxiety levels crazy when wanting to do anything social.
Does anyone experience anything like this and if so, how do you handle it?

I met Sue on tinder a couple years back and we went on a date. somehow we ended up going on 3 consecutive dates thereafter and fell in love pretty quickly. she was very sweet, young, and attractive. the deadly combination. this was around the start of covid, so when we became official, we soon started living together and had sex everyday, multiple times. im of a certain ethnicity, keep that in mind. fast forward a few months later, we end up breaking up, but got back together again not long after. i also started realizing that this girl wasnt really who i thought she was. I initially believed she was hard working, friendly, and unlucky in some aspects in life, that explained why she didnt have her own car, or finish her college degree. but as time went on i started noticing things werent adding up. she slowly started showing me her real self; she was very lazy, flirtatious with strangers, and very manipulative. she knew how to gaslight me very well, as i later found out that she had much expreience doing this with other guys. one day, i noticed on her social media account suggested friends was her, but an old account. she claimed she "thought" she deleted it. at this point of our relationship i was already weary of her and not very trustful as i caught her in many lies before, so i made her log into the account and thats when i saw that she used to be a huge slut before meeting me (likely still is). Sue had about 300 friends in the account, and mostly boys. from the messages ive read she has had sexual relations with at least 50 of them. she wasnt actively communicating with them while we were together, but her body count she told me of 25 was actually more like 100. I still do not know what her real count is, but I'm going to take a good guess and say its over that though. oh yea and shes only 25.
to make matters worse, 95% of the guys she was screwing were all MY ETHNICITY, and they all shared somewhat of a resemblence with me, either through looks/style, or just race. there was some very crude stuff that she talked about with multiple guys, all at the same time. in short, she turned out to be a big whore that completely blindsided me by acting like the complete opposite when we were together. I've always been a good reader of people, so I was severely shocked and depressed afterwards. there were always hints taht she may have been somewhat of a party girl in her old life, but it was beyond what i had imagined. oh and i had a baby with her within our short lived relationship. i desperately begged her not to have the baby, as i was going through my own personal issues at the time outside of our stuff, and i just was not ready. well, she kept it despite my pleading and now we are co-parents. i am so ashamed of it that i deleted all my social media accounts, and no one knows where i am anymore. i love my child to death, but i feel so dumb that i fell for a slut and on top of that, actually loved her.
it hurt looking back and seeing all these signs that shuoldve clued me in to be more cautios of her. she would always ask to see a picture of my cousin or friend who were of the same ethnicity, and i can only assume it was because she wanted to make sure that she didnt screw any of them. i mean literally every dude she fucked was almost a carbon copy of me. and im of a very distint ethnicity. she also loved playing guys. she claimed that she "used to be a big player". she is one of those ppl that claim that women shoulud not be seen as sluts since guys arent if they screw a lot of women. well i think no guy would ever want to knowingly marry a slut or the village bicycle, and neither would their parents want their children to, so really, i think ppl just say that stuff because they want an excuse for their irresponsible behavior. among all the lies shes told me, i feel so duped and incredibly stupid and to this day am still a little jealous despite hating her. it destroyed my ego and despite being able to get women, i am always thinking that girls only find me attractive now if they are into my race or kind. i know thats not always the case, but having been fetishized so bad put me into a spiraling depression. what also sucks is that she culturally appropriates my culture with our child; not intentionally, but it is so degrading to see a person who is outside my ethnicity try to do things for my child but do it all wrong. its frustrating and i really hate my life. i honestly wish i never met her and think about killing myself everyday. the only good thing is i learned a ton from this experience and it changed my life for better or worse.
i hope you found my story entertaining. it is 100% true and i can go into more juicy details if u r interested. it is WILD. fellas, never trust a girl with a big butt and a smile.

***Trigger Warning: Mention/s of rape, sexual assault
I'd love to explore more places, try out more things, pero tangina. Lagi na lang nacocompromise yung privacy ko.
There's this chain resto in a certain mall that I USED TO frequent. May isa silang staff na kilala na ako at yung mama ko, kahit saang branch ako pumunta sa area namin, may chance na makita ako ni ategirl. Kwento sakin ng mama ko, nag "rereport" daw sa kanya si ategirl na ano daw "Yung baby mo, nakikita ko lagi sa shop X at shop Y". Tangina paki mo ba kung saan saan ako pumupunta? Bakit kailangang i-report sa nanay ko as if 8 years old ako?? Marites amp 🤦‍♀️ At tsaka ang creepy lang ha. Those times that I entered those shops mentioned, she never said hi or anything. Kaya wala akong idea na nandun pala sya at nakikita nya kung san ako pumupunta. Other relatives have done this to me as well, yung nirereport nila ako sa nanay ko o helper namin. Next time they do this, I'll let them know na di ok sakin yung ginagawa nila. I just hate how most people suck at respecting others' boundaries. Yung tipong ano, siguro sa kanila ok lang na pinag-uusapan kung saan sila pumupunta, so siguro ina-assume nila na ok din yun sa ibang tao? :/
And then regarding social media naman. I used to go for classes regularly at a certain gym, but then I stopped attending because I cannot stand how they post every single class (nung una fun pa, but then as time passes, I realised I don't like having my face plastered ALL OVER their social media) on socmed. Of course, I understand that this is a common business practice, which post on their pages like on FB and IG. Going to a gym is intimidating enough for me, this whole social media thing makes it worse for me. I get it, I can step aside after the class when they take the obligatory group pic, pero feeling ko ang awkward nun at parang ang KJ ko. Hirap maghanap ng gym sa area namin na HINDI ganun magpatakbo ng biz (yung sobrang active sa socmed at lahat ng hanap pinopost dun). Ang lapit nila sa place ko + andami nilang ino-offer na classes atbp na wala yung ibang gyms/facilities.
As someone who has been dealing with creeps/stalkers, this is a cause for concern. I mean, someone can just hop on a page owned by whatever place I frequent and then... Y'know :/ I have found myself in a situation before (In a public setting somewhere else, and buti na lang I was with a group of friends) where my abuser (Former abuser, in this case, since the abuse has already ceased) spotted me and wanted to approach me, but I quickly boarded the train with my friends para iwasan sya. Takot na takot ako sa ganitong sitch.
Tapos may isang beses na sinubukan kong mag ice skating sa local rink namin. The activity by itself was super fun, but I was fucking turned off seeing parents at every fucking corneside of the rink, taking pics and videos of their kids. Parang sila pa yung naiinis sakin na na-photobomb or videobomb ko sila. Yung isang staff sa rink, he asked me if he can take my pic and post on their page, which I politely declined. I appreciate him asking for consent, because trust me, not all business ask for customers' consent when it comes to having their pictures taken. Napicturan nako dati without my consent tapos sinend sa ibang tao (Context: Backstabbing at work), so malaking trigger din to para sakin :/
Then the most recent one that bugs me the most is when I was chilling at Starbs with my dad. Then this lady outside SB, she kept on taking selfies tapos nakikita ako sa background. Selfie yun ha, so nakikita nya up close yung mukha nya at kung meron mang ibang tao na nakikita sa camera. I just got up and moved somewhere else since mag-oorder na rin ako nun. Next time someone does that, I'll be all smiles with both my middle fingers up. Napansin ko, common na habit to ng mga Pinoy lalo na yung mga boomer HAHA (Other nationalities are much more self-aware and considerate when it comes to this), taking pics in public na walang paki sa privacy ng ibang tao, yung ginagawa kang background.
***I was about to say, every single move I make outside my house, feeling ko maccompromise yung privacy ko. Heck, I get that feeling even at the comfort of my own home. Marites kasi mga trike driver eh. Tinatanong nila yung helper ko very intrusive and very personal questions about me and my family. Sino daw nakatira dito, ilang tao nakatira dito, anong klaseng pusa daw mga alaga namin... 😭 Mas nakakatakot, knowing na maraming cases ng break in at rape sa area namin, yung tipong walking distance lang sa bahay namin kung san nangyayari yung mga ganun. I just need a damn break from all of this.

It is a challenge to Islamic Preachers to show us those rights, that Islam gave to women, but the West didn't.
Islamic preachers boast a lot that in Islam, only a husband is responsible for feeding, and the maintenance of his wife. But this right has also been given to a woman by the West, and actually, it gave a bigger share/right to a woman than Islam. In the West, if a husband earns money, then not only he has to feed and give maintenance money to his wife, but if he divorces her, then the whole estate (which was made during their marriage period) will be divided equally between them.
Contrary to the West, Islam gives absolutely NOTHING to a woman, in case her husband divorces her.
Yes, Islamic preachers come here with an EXCUSE, that Islam gives Mahr (Dowry) to a woman at the time of marriage, which she can use if she is divorced. But this excuse is false, while:

• According to Islamic logic, Mahr is given to a woman, while a man takes SEXUAL Pleasure (تمتع) from her, and reserves her vagina solely for himself.
• While he is free to marry other women and to have TEMPORARY sexual relationships with dozens of slave women. In Islam, a master raped his wife, and after a temporary sexual relationship, when he fulfilled his lust, then he sold her to a 2nd master, who again raped her and then sold her to a 3rd master ...
• And she has to provide him with sexual services, whenever he demands it, even if they are travelling on the back of a camel (according to Muhammad).
• Thus, Mahr is the payment of those sexual services, which she is obliged to provide to her husband on DEMAND.

And as far as the "Maintenance Money" of a wife is concerned, then again Islam takes away many rights from a woman for this:

• She is prohibited to leave the house without the permission of her husband.
• She is even prohibited to visit her parents without his permission.
• Her husband gets the right to beat her in the name of maintenance money.
• She is given maintenance money, while she has to give away her right to go outside, do any job in public, and earn her own money. Only in case, if the husband allows it, then she can do a job. Nevertheless, practically it is from impossible to extremely difficult, while a truly Islamic society put so much pressure upon a woman, then she faces thousands of hurdles in going out and in doing any job.
• The truth is if her husband is abusive and tortures her, still she cannot take a divorce on her own. And if her husband divorces her, then practically she cannot survive on her own. She is forced to remarry.
• But if she remarries, then Islam takes away all of her children from her (Please read our article: Strange Islam: If a divorced woman remarries, then she will lose the custody of her children).

In simple words:

• Slaves are also fed and maintained.
• Prisoners in the prisons are also fed and maintained.
• And women in Islam are not so much different than slaves and prisoners.

Moreover, Mahr is a GAMBLE. Although Muslims claim that gambling is Haram, but they are unable to see how Islam is compelling every woman and man to play this gamble in their lives.

• Nobody knows how long a marriage is going to last. One day or the whole life. It is a gamble for both sides, how much Mahr should be fixed.
• If the marriage breaks after 1 month, then the husband is on the losing side, and he has to pay the entire Mahr.
• But if the marriage breaks after 20 years, then the wife is on the losing side, while after 20 years she will be old and it will be difficult for her to remarry to get financial support from another man.

The system of Islam is totally “Out of Balance”, while:

• All the financial burden is put solely upon the husband.
• It does not matter if he is poor, if he becomes ill, or even if he loses his job. This is again a gamble as no one knows if he will become ill or not, or loses his job or not. In all these cases, still it is only the husband, who has to bear the financial burden.

Compared to Islam, the Western system is totally in Balance. If a wife is rich, or she has a stable good earning job, and if she is healthy, then she has to share equal financial responsibilities, so that she becomes a support for her poor husband. Upon bringing this balanced system, Islamic preachers start doing false propaganda that the Western system put a lot of burden upon women but men are free of responsibilities.
Moreover, if a wife goes for a job outside, then the husband is not sitting idly in the house and waiting for her wife to come back so that he can start ordering her. No, but both the husband and the wife work together in the house. Whether it is cooking, or cleaning, or taking care of children etc. Thus, the West put all those responsibilities upon the men too, which is absent in the Islamic system.

For context: I (21m) have been with my boyfriend(23m) for 3 years. We have lived together for 6 months. He is one of the nicest most considerate people I’ve ever met and he is so loving towards me. We get on so well and he is my best friend in life atm.
One issue we’ve had over the course of our relationship is that my sex drive is much much higher than his. At the start I didn’t really notice this as we were both pretty new to each other and the sexual attraction was very high.
But after a few months, once we were seeing each other regularly, his interest in sex started to fall while mine got higher. Mainly cause I’d never been with anyone before and he was my first everything ( first kiss and relationship). I was finally feeling comfortable and confident about sex and wanted to keep going, try new things and just have a very sex positive relationship.
But he just does not have the same interests. He doesn’t like to talk about sex and is extremely vanilla when it comes to the act. He only enjoys hand and mouth stuff. No penetration. Which Ik is a common thing for gay men however it’s something I enjoyed the few times we did it. We currently have very quick sex about once a week and that’s it. Which to me, for a 3 year relationship for two early 20 year olds, is very little.
Now we live together and almost never kiss. Almost Never hold hands. And never do or say anything sexual to each other.I used to try at least once a day to go up to him and ask to kiss or try turn him on. But all he wants is a quick peck on the lips and that’s it.
We’ve talked a lot about this for a while. I’ve told him how I’m unhappy with the lack of sexual attraction from him and how I want to be more physical with him. He either says “I’m sorry. I’ll try to do more” or “I just don’t have the sex drive like you do”. Ik he feels guilty about the situation. And I do too for bringing it up. But every day we sit in our house. Him playing games and me watching tv and we never say or do anything sexual.
Since I have such a high sex drive I ask if he wants some fun almost every night (we’ve talked about this too and he says he wants me to ask and I’m fine with him telling me no. I’d never make him do anything he doesn’t want to). And 90% or the time he says he’s not in the mood. So I go jerk off by myself. It’s gotten to the point now where I’m just masterbaiting myself once a day cause of how much I’m in the mood.
Now we are back to where we were. Me and him never doing anything sexual. And it’s staring to really affect my mood. I feel trapped and discontent every day.
So I guess I’m here to ask for advice and to vent. What should I do? I don’t want to break up with him. I do still love him so much. We have a whole life together now and breaking up would change literally everything. But the fact that my sex life has ended at age 21 when it just started makes me so unhappy.

I live in Melbourne, on $105k /year and after doing some extensive research, I’m ready to enter the property market.
I live with my parents still so I’m looking for an investment property, I have $70k in savings and was wondering how big of a loan I should expect to get based on these numbers?
Also - it seems like property industry is a very long term game, does this mean for the next 5 years+ I’ll be living uncomfortably with this income until some of the loan has been paid off and the house value has increased? Then I can use equity from that to purchase a 2nd property which I could live in when I move out?
Does this sound right to you? I’m not entirely sure what to expect in terms of how this will allow me to set my self up and ultimately, reach financial freedom as early as possible.

I love how if anyone makes a criticism of Islam, or Muhammad, Qur'an, Sunnah, etc.
The Defenders of Islam run in, keyboard warrior at the ready, with their soundbites, their rehearsed talking points that are universally shared. You literally can see the style of how they play their Dawahist propaganda and excuses.
I thought just for a laugh of detailing them briefly here, has anyone else noticed the same?
Random Muslim apologist: "Brozzer, you take everything out of context."
Farid Responds apologetics: "It's a metaphysical matter. I did a 50 video series on that specific subject, watch it and then come back to me and say I was wrong. "
Mojab apologetics: "Are you intellectually molested, intellectually enslaved!?! I ate a thesarus this morning and I think you're beneath me, Alaii!! (Spits) Golden Showers make me feel tingly!"
Yasir Qadi apologetics: "We cannot trust that the critical analysis of our scriptures by these disbelievers are in Good Faith because they come from a place that is fundamentally evil, and such evil people cannot be trusted and have no basis for intellectual discourse, we must remove ourselves from those doubtful people and put ourselves in a situation where we can talk to a Ulema and see from a purely Islamic perspective, that the answer was already there, you just weren't good intentioned enough to recognize it."
Mufti Menk apologetics: Who do you think you are to question the wisdom of Allah SWT? Sit down! Astagfirullah, Allah help us, what is the arrogance of today? (Continues to arrogantly speak about how he thinks LGBTQ people are worse than animals)"
Uthman Fibbin Farooq apologetics: "I challenge you to debate me, in my park! Don't run away from it, if you refuse to debate me I call you a coward!! Oh what? You want a debate, let's debate, no no, you see you don't understand Arabic, do you? You don't understand the Tafsir, I do, look... What? You do understand Arabic, then you'd know that Arabic lends many different meanings? What? You understand ancient Arabic, you do understand that not even the most learned Islamic scholars know ancient Arabic well, so I call you a liar! Let me make up a completely fake situation where I was proven right, and strawman it for the sake of winning this debate, you see! You don't understand Islam, you should have come to me, I could have educated you... What? You were born in a Muslim country? You do know the don't represent true Islam or real Muslims? (Whispers to his posse in the back) Pssssshhhtt put the pamphlets back in the car and pack up the tent, I'm running out of excuses!"
Shabir Ally apologetics: The Qur'an tells us that (speaks for 7 hours) and to summarize the Qur'an doesn't tell us that, but we can try and guess maybe it does in a certain context, and maybe we can assume that's what it meant, even though we can't be sure, Allah knows best."
Mufti Abu Layth apologetics: "The great thing about Islam, is that it can mean what your heart feels to be true, yes, have rules, and some things that are forbidden because it turns out to have a reason it's forbidden, but all the stuff you complain about, don't apply to the modern day, Islam is what you want it to be, and I feel like in this context if you want to wear a miniskirt into the mosque, you naughty naughty, then wear it underneath your niqab, or go into the mosque when it's empty, it's ok! Your husband beats you, well the great thing about Islam, is you can beat your husband back, I know my wife gives me a thapar when I push the limits!"
Omar Sulieman apologetics: "Let me smile at you like a creep whilst I say shit, like of course an adulterer should be put to death, but we can't do that in the United States, but it's ok, cos Allah understands that we hate the sin, and not the sinner, but in an ideal situation, they'd die, Alhamdullilah!."
Adel Ghadban apologetics: "We don't fuck donkeys cos Islam says we are not allowed."
Nadir Ahmed apologetics: "So if you look at the historical chart I've conjured out of my ass, we can see that Apostate Prophet is a fraud, but I don't actually have anything to back that up, because I'm using historical inaccuracies and fallacies to justify my position, blah blah, blah, blah, blah."
Perfect Dawah apologetics: "NO NO no! The Qur'an does not say that (reads a completely different verse) see, it says this and this is what it means, it's not abrogated, those verses are not for the modern age, my interpretation is the only true interpretation, and you should listen to me because I believe I am right and my Islam is the true Islam, everyone else is wrong."
Bald Muhammad apologetics: "Islam is true because it changed me from being an openly comfortable douchebag, to a douchebag who tries his best to hide it until triggered by something in a debate, and that's why Islam is true."
Sajid Lipham apologetics: "I'm whispering so Muslims don't think my white privilege is over shadowing their deen, this is Islaaaaammm."
Daniel Haqiqatjou apologetics: "You say Islam is all of this, but at least a man living inside the belly of a whale, and sticks turning into snakes, is the type of values that Islam preserves against the LGBTQ liberal agenda! I'd rather have a snake be shoved down my throat, than the one eyed rainbow snake of the Dajjal that's running the matrix, excuse me, I have to put a paper bag over the women who are sitting in the audience, one second. I don't understand atheism, but I know you all have an agenda and worship secret Gods! Liberalism (starts frothing in the mouth) is a cancer, but I think sex slavery and defending a guy who made his money in porn is a valuable cause, despite the fact I think porn is a destructive practice, maybe it's because my wife can't find my penis anymore, and neither can I."
Zakir Naik apologetics: "It thays in thapther 23, verse 34, page 76, line 21, the one who eats like a pig, behaves like a pig, I like to thay, that Allah told us this, and that's why it's true, coth the truth is in the Qur'an, (continues to repeat verses after verses that are unrelated) and this thells us why if you stand up whilst eating a date, that... (Continues to repeat more verses) therefore the theory of evolution is false, bethause we are noth from the monkeyths, Allah made humans into monkeyths, not the other way around, and they call it a theory, becauth it is a theory, it is not a facth, Darwin is not a facth, it is a theory, did that answer your question? No, then what is it then? Well, leth me thell you one thing brozzer, I am a medikul ductur, (gets more riled up and panders to audience) if you don't like it, you can keep it or throw it, your opinion is not valid, because you don't have an audience of 1 million!"
Ali Dawah apologetics: "so what, these are facts! Without this book, where do you get your morality from? It's scientifically proven that... (Chokes on a grape and dies)"
Is there any particular apologist that you've noticed or want to call out? I look forward to learning of any other ridiculous Muslim apologist con artists in the comments!

She met my family. I was about to meet her parents but out of the blue the over possessiveness started. She wanted me to be with her 24x7. Our work timings were different and we worked at different places so it was not possible. Then she started saying that I am cheating on her (I swear to God I never did, I always considered her my wife), then she started to force me to file papers to immigrate to some other country where her friends live. It was not possible immediately due to health issues at my home. I told her we will go but give me some time to manage things. And finally she went the suicidal route, stay with me for the whole day and night or I will commit suicide. I said let's get married, let me meet your parents but I have no idea why she started to act like that. Anyways we broke up because she put this fear in my mind that she will hurt herself. If someone whom I love gets hurt blaming me then I wouldn't have survived either. I thought that she will stop these suicidal things just for her safety. She told her friends that I used her and they hate me now. Within a month she was with a multimillionaire who is US citizen now and they got married last year. I am numb, blame myself everyday that maybe I wasn't able to treat her well or something while she is enjoying in Switzerland and Maldives and all around the world in their private plane. Yes my net worth is absolutely nothing as compared to this guy but it was way more than hers. Sorry if this sounded like a rant. How to get out of this? Tried therapy but it didn't help. Oh and btw she met this dude on insta. Does money trump everything?
TLDR- We were about to get married, she started acting super weird and finally married a multimillionaire.
