It depends on your risk tolerance. Like I would choose to stay as a cog in the wheel because I feed a family. If you're young you normally have more risk tolerance.

If you're like me, the safest bet is to start a business but not at the cost of losing your job. See if this new business is sustainable or something you want to do long-term, then if it pays better then quit.

This is brain poison

I like browsing with Amethyst because I get completely random posts like this one. I reply to a few posts I like and move on with my day. I don't understand people who don't know when to stop

It doesn't make sense for one to say I love taxes

Why tf do you need a relay to drive an LED?

A transistor is more than enough

I agree it's inconvenient but what does trust have to do with this?

No, it's brilliant

It's been over 15 years since my last visit so I'm not sure, I know that if you put your destination in Google maps, you can select public transport instead of car directions and it'll show you how to get there. I personally think the best way to enjoy Canada is to rent a car and drive around

At this time of the year?

Probably skiing or snowboarding. There's also a mountain I forgot the name of that you can visit and see the city from above

Islam existed before Saudi Arabia and the country is not the arbiter of religion. They will try to change the text because Saudi Arabia is currently trying to "modernize" and detach from religion. I doubt they'll succeed in changing the quran, judging by past attempts that failed and were met by a strong reaction from the Muslim world.

As for the "mistakes" they mention (and I highly doubt there is 2'500 of those), I saw a study that in summary questioned if the quran came down in the Arabic language, who had the authority to put those rules? Because that would dictate how we understand the text, and there are instances where the text doesn't follow these rules, that's a rabbit hole by itself. I'm saying this because these mistakes could be thought of as following slightly different rules from traditional Arabic (if we were to believe the quran is the unchanged word of god)

It's getting harder to be generous in this crap monetary system

Fair enough, you might also want to look deeper into these claims because from what I know the Muslim world believes there's one text (the one printed mostly in Mecca) and any slight modification is heavily scrutinized and rejected. There is an incentive to modify the text and change things in the religion because you can't conform to homosexuals for example if you have a text that rejects this that nobody can modify.

I'm aware of the different recitations, but the original text shouldn't have been changed. I'll look into this further but that's what I know

Do you have a link for other versions?

I am sure because because there is indeed one version. I am not aware of any other version

Ian is on nostr?

Amazing

Muslims consider all of these you mention as prophets and they all came with the same message and are worthy of being followed. It's just that their teachings haven't been passed on without modification (there are many modifications of the bible but one version of the Quran). Muhammed is the last prophet and his version of the message is believed to be the most preserved. Race has nothing to do with this

They still need to cut the biggest money pit

Best tweet so far 😂
