Bad habits
The Neighbors Are Torturing And Killing My Cats
Yesterday was supposed to be a good day. As I left the house to go do adult things, I just knew it was going to be a good day. And I'm not usually wrong about these things. But yesterday, July 29th, 2024... I was very very wrong.

Fuck It. Content Warning.
We should be able to share life's disparities with people we are close to without having to cover ourselves up in a blanket of toxic positivity. I am not always fine. I am not always feeling well. My skin gets ashy as fuck sometimes. Sometimes people don't tell me when I have a booger in my nose, and I walk around all day looking disgusting. I am not always happy, but that doesn't mean that I am sad. I can have inside joy, but my face resembles a resting bitch face. Please, stop harassing me with the "are you alright" questions, and on the flip side, if I express my struggle and pain, don't just tell me "it'll be alright." It's quite ridiculous. I hate having to be anything other than me.

Trading Relief Aid for Sex in Sudan: A Shocking Reality
### Trading Relief Aid for Sex in Sudan: A Shocking Reality In a report published by The Guardian, a disturbing practice has been uncovered involving the Sudanese army trading relief aid for sex in the region of Omdurman. This report exposes a shocking reality where many Sudanese women are coerced into sex in exchange for essential necessities for survival, highlighting the worsening humanitarian conditions in the country due to conflicts and economic crises. #### Background and Humanitarian Context Sudan, a country plagued by long-standing armed conflicts and economic crises, has witnessed a significant deterioration in living conditions for many, especially vulnerable women and girls residing in severely affected areas where poverty and marginalization are prevalent. #### Trading Relief Aid and Sexual Exploitation According to the report, Sudanese army soldiers exploit women and girls in dire need by forcing them into sexual acts in exchange for food and basic relief supplies. This form of exploitation not only degrades human dignity but also constitutes a gross violation of basic human rights and ethical principles. #### Social and Health Implications In addition to the immense psychological impact on victims, such trade increases the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis, given the lack of adequate health oversight or preventive measures. This places women and girls at significant health risk and could exacerbate the health crisis in the region. #### Necessary Measures and Future Challenges To address this appalling issue, urgent and effective measures are required from Sudanese authorities and the international community. This includes strengthening oversight of humanitarian aid distribution, robustly enforcing laws against those responsible for such heinous acts, and providing support and protection to victims. #### Conclusion Ultimately, using humanitarian resources as a tool for sexual exploitation constitutes a grave ethical and humanitarian breach. The international community and local governments must approach this crisis with utmost seriousness to ensure the protection of women and girls and to provide a safe and dignified environment for them. In summary, The Guardian's report should serve as a catalyst for deep reflection and concerted action to end such injustice and exploitation in Sudan and other regions experiencing similar humanitarian crises.

Void of all emotions
There are people capable of looking you in the eyes, crying to you with all their heart and still betray you at the end of the day. Even while appealing to your humanity, even while begging you on their knees and making you all sorts of promises, they will still deliberately choose to stab you in the back.

I Respected You - Until You Disrespected Me With Your "Good Intentions"
You know how some people are like... "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL! REPENT NOW!" But like... what if you are a perfectly happy atheist who doesn't need to repent because you're secure in your lifestyle and belief, and...

Life can get boring
I don’t remember a time when I was bored out of my mind for over an hour. It certainly happens from time to time, but really never lasts long enough to be concerning. Either I’ll fall asleep or I’ll just get something productive to do with my time, but never do I let myself sink into boredom for too long. This time around my life didn’t get boring but I kind of saw that in the lives of others. I saw some people not know what to do of their day and basically waste countless hours of their time doing something they were not interested in.

Hinges creaks in Silence. Content Warning.
Little fumes of cigarette, I blow another - this time, a ring. And one more. And one more. I gaze through her naked back. She was on her stomach, face sheltered underneath the white pillow then speckled with blood, her skin bruised liked the sunset on a cloudy afternoon.

Dirty Laundry
As much as people stress about the struggle with companionship and their numerous failed attempts at finding “The One” I find myself late at night laying on my twin-sized bed right next to a mountain of unfolded laundry. So I ask myself, am I even ready for that kind of thing? Not the companionship. But just the responsibility of having someone in my circle. As I write this well, I already told you. I’m lying on my twin-sized bed beside a giant mountain of unfolded clothes. What I didn’t mention is that it’s been here for nearly 5 days now. Don’t worry it's clean! Well, at least I think so. After I took my clothes out of the machine I had them in my laundry bag. But then I ran into that problem where I was wearing dirty clothes with no place to them. I use this half-ripped bag hamper hanging from my door as the primary location to keep my dirty clothes. When it’s not available (like it hasn’t been for a few days before I threw all my clothes on my bed. I’m kind of fucked because I no longer have a place to put my dirty clothes. I can probably assume your next question. So then where do you put your dirty clothes in the meantime when you’re being too lazy to put your clothes away? Before I answer that in order to avoid a bit of judgment. I would like to say that I believe in the idea of “out of sight, out of mind.” I am not sure who stated that quote but they are genius and knew exactly what they were talking about.

Officially, President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi explains the reasons for his support for the Israeli entity, stating that he wants what is best for Egypt by supporting Israel.
### Part 1: Historical Context of Egyptian-Israeli Relations To understand President Sisi's current policy towards Israel, we must look at the shared history between the two countries. Egyptian-Israeli relations began after the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1978, which led to peace between Egypt and Israel after decades of conflicts and wars. This agreement was supervised by the United States and included Egypt's regaining of the Sinai Peninsula, a crucial condition for establishing peace with Israel. Following the signing of the Camp David Accords, bilateral relations between Egypt and Israel improved, though they experienced periods of tension and escalation. Nevertheless, the peace between the two countries continued and enjoyed significant international support, particularly from the United States. ### Part 2: Political and Security Developments in Recent Decades Since 2013, the region has witnessed significant political and security developments that have greatly influenced the dynamics of Egyptian-Israeli relations and President Sisi's foreign policy. #### Security Stability and Counterterrorism Ensuring security stability in Egypt is a top priority for President Sisi, especially given the increasing terrorist threats from armed groups operating in regions like Sinai. Israel serves as a crucial strategic partner in this context, with both countries cooperating in security and intelligence to combat common terrorist groups. This cooperation enhances Egypt's ability to protect its eastern borders and maintain internal stability.

#How Jesus killed
One of the most terrifying scientific experiments in history.. This was literally the most intense experiment I have witnessed with such depth and prolonged impact once you understand it.. I present to you the experiment.. Universe 25. The subject was initially very normal before gradually turning into the darkness that you will see in the end.. The story begins in 1970 when the American behaviorist "John Calhoun" decided to conduct an experiment and named it "Universe 25".. You will understand why 25 in the end of the topic.. Anyways.. The experiment consisted of bringing 8 mice, half males and half females, and building a designated colony for them, filled with everything they needed and everything they roamed all day for.. Food, drink, and ample space, to ensure their existence forever and to make them happy.. He named this colony "Mouse Paradise" and the experiment began, with him recording his observations every few days.. The first offspring produced by the group did not take long to arrive, and the truth is that the birth rate of the mice was huge and increasing gradually. The situation was stable, and the mice were happy with everything they had.. To the extent that the number of mice reached 600 in a very short time.. However, on day 315 of the experiment, "Calhoun" noticed a strange observation and recorded it.. The behavior of the mice became violently incomprehensible.. What was even stranger was that upon closer investigation, he began to notice that these mice formed groups and parties, each group separate from the other, with each group containing individuals similar to each other, meaning one group had strong rats, and another group had rats with similar behavior, and so on.. As the days passed, the experiment began to become stranger and more ominous.. A group of weak male mice left their positions, leaving their females behind, who went off to sit in corners away from them, while the strong mice started to rape the females who had escaped their mates and left them with their young in order to protect them.. The strong mice began to assert their dominance over the rest.. The females also began to behave very aggressively towards their offspring, hitting and attacking them until some of them were killed by their own parents.. What was revolting was that some mice started to eat other mice, even though there was plenty of food available, but the power was a greater driving force.. Calhoun wrote.. "All social ties among the mice have collapsed, and the birth rates have decreased significantly, with the females dwindling due to killings or suicides." But what was strange and thought-provoking was a group of mice that did not engage in any conflicts or harm.. Calhoun named this group "The Beautiful Ones" and they were a group of calm males who ate, drank, and slept peacefully.. But remember their name because we will come back to them again.. What intrigued Calhoun most was the slight changes in the "ethics" of the mice.. Among these changes was that they had turned into lazy individuals due to the availability of food and lack of need for movement, making the colony vulnerable to them.. It is clear that "Mouse Paradise" has turned into a real hell.. The population growth in what was called Universe 25 was noticeably declining.. On day 516.. Meaning after a year and a half from the beginning, the number of mice had reached 2200, but continued to decline, with growth rates decreasing and reaching the lowest point.. Diseases spread among them, despite Calhoun's initial assurance that the selected mice were in very good health.. As for "The Beautiful Ones," sexual deviance spread among them, causing many diseases within the group, and it became clear that paradise would fall on all of them.. Indeed, the numbers decreased, not just the growth! Killings increased among them, and disease spread, and everything collapsed.. Until the last rat was born in this paradise after two years, and he proceeded to kill all the remaining mice, leaving only himself.. Thus, Calhoun concluded the experiment, Universe 25.. Calhoun had conducted 24 similar experiments before this, with the same results each time..Honestly, when I saw this verse after writing the above, a smile formed on my face and I felt internally engulfed by the greatness of the Creator.. He is telling us "I could have provided you all abundantly and made you rich and given you all the sustenance you needed, so that you would be completely relaxed in life. But you would have rebelled on earth, using the term rebellion, due to the interest in indulging in desires more than anything else.". Life is not meaningless as you might imagine, but everything is carefully calculated.. You are here, with all your surrounding circumstances and the environment surrounding you, because without all the things around you and you surrounded by, you will lose the multiple meanings of life, just like domino pieces, and a musical harmony in the background ringing with the tunes of your fantasies.. Thank you very much..
