Ironing clothes is stupid and useless and shouldn't be a thing. I haven't ironed any of my clothes for decades now and they never look any different than the clothes that were ironed. It's a scam! And humanity won't be able to progress if we keep doing it!!

Saudi Arabia isn't a person. I hate it when news titles aren't specific enough. Is it the government that bought them? A private company? Just a dude that happens to be Saudi? The implications can change drastically based on who bought it.

Also the article link isn't working for me so all i got is the title. And as most people that'd see it, they'd also only read the title, this type of simplification can lead to a lot of misinformation. Or worse, racism, as you combine a whole country and its people to one entity which is dehumanizing. I'm speaking from experience as a Saudi person who's always grouped with the "saudi" or "Arabic " or "brown" groups instead of another human being.

In short, news should stop generalizing and be more specific, especially in the titles, the part that most people will interact with.

I don't like to say I quit, more like expanded my belief system to become a human belief system, and not exclusive to a cultural belief system.

I traveled outside my very conservative and religious country, met many different people, learned about a lot of different cultures, and their beliefs. It made me see how "limited" one type of faith can be. How blind I was to the human experiences.

So now, basically, I don't believe there's one answer to rule them all. And that's the biggest change I went through outside of the religion i was raised on.

The stick would only move at the speed of sound. Or the speed the molecules can push against each other, which is the speed of sound in that material.

Pandas are endangered because of loss of their habitat due to human activity. Not because they're bad at surviving. They've survived for hundreds of thousands of years without us. We're the ones killing them, and there's nothing cute about that situation.
