Is it like other African countries where you can beat the shit out of a thief, or are things different in Rwanda? I heard thieves don't get much time in prison because the prisons are already full, and they would let small-time offenders go. Would the police get involved if some guys beat up thieves?
I noticed some Muslim women in my gym sweating profusely, wearing a hijab, only showing part of their face in the gym. Shouldn't there be an exception to this kind of event? Because these clothes are not meant for exercising and could create extreme heat conditions that might have a negative impact on health. It could lead to severe dehydration that could culminate in loss of life.
Mind you, it's around noon and hot outside. Aside from hiding their beautiful features, I don't think it's right to further complicate a hard workout regimen.

I get that referrals could help secure an interview, but would they also be a factor in assessing someone's performance during the interview? I secured an interview without a referral, and some guy I know had a referral for the same company. But the interviewers seemed like they wanted me to fail. The interview did not go like a discussion. I would answer one question, and without any reply or feedback, they would throw a barrage of unrelated questions at me. It looked like they were waiting for me to fail, even though I adjusted to every question and performed well.
It got me thinking if the interview I had was just a formality for them to recommend their referred candidate. Has this ever been a thing in your experience?
I was watching an interview with one of Alamoudi's right-hand men. It can be found at this link: youtube-link. The guy has some really crazy stories. Alamoudi asked him to manage his businesses, but their relationship has now turned sour, and he was fired from his job.
Abinet served as a trusted manager of Alamoudi's businesses in Ethiopia. They had successful shared ventures in oil and real estate. The guy remained loyal to Mohammed for 32 years while many people around him fought with him and left.
One of the craziest things he said was that Mohammed was a really generous person. He gave away so much that he kept his managers constantly busy. Abinet had to manage transfers of up to millions per month (which I assume in dollars) to pay for people's medical fees, airfare, education abroad, and even to give out houses and cars to people he liked, lol. The guy also said Ethiopians abused his generosity, and some networks set up commission pipelines. Some people apparently made a living just by connecting people with Alamoudi, lol. This is rumored to have even included providing beautiful women, lol.
Even though Abinet is currently on bad terms with him, he admitted that Alamoudi is a net-positive job creator and philanthropist with great character. However, there are criticisms of how Alamoudi monopolized parts of the country's manufacturing and export sectors, as he had strong ties with various government institutions and officials.
What additional stories do you have about Alamoudi?
Some people on this sub were agreeing with the idea that the term Habesha only applies to Semitic-speaking groups or even to only Tigrigna-speaking groups.
But the word Habesha is an exonym. It should not automatically be interpreted as referring only to one modern linguistic group. Outsiders often categorized people based on geographic origin, appearance, or the groups they first encountered, rather than having a detailed understanding of the internal ethnic and linguistic diversity of the region.
There are numerous cases of Arabs using the term habeshis for their light-skinned Oromo slaves. This makes it clear it was more phenotypical rather than a language-based classification. Even to this day, if an Oromo migrant goes to Sudan and Arab countries and has the right phenotype, people will call them Habeshi without any understanding of the ethnic compositions in the country.
Initial sources may indicate that the term Habesha was used in reference to the Axumites, but this could largely reflect which groups Arabs had direct contact with at the time. It does not necessarily capture the broader phenotypic or ancestral undertones that the term may have carried in different historical contexts.
Source: Anne K. Bang, “From Bondage to Freedom on the Red Sea Coast: Manumitted Slaves in Egyptian Massawa, 1873–1885,” Slavery & Abolition (2013).
Bang examines enslaved Africans arriving through the Red Sea port of Massawa and discusses people from the Horn of Africa, including Oromo and Omotic-speaking regions. She shows that Arabic terms such as ḥabashī (Habashi/Habasha) were used as broad geographical and social categories for people from the Horn of Africa and were not always equivalent to a single modern ethnic identity.

Some people were arguing that our food turning soft after the invention of agriculture has reduced our palate size, leading to crowded teeth. So the thinking is that evolutionary remains found of early humans usually have straight teeth because they ate hard foods like meat.
Additionally, there is a doctor online I follow, Mike Mew, who states that childhood habits of mouth breathing lead to a recessed jaw and that the proper breathing technique can have a significant effect on our facial structures. This guy has had his trouble with governing bodies, but he has a jaw made of steel (it makes you ask whether his advice is legit).
My observation is that existing hunter-gatherer uncontacted populations that still follow a traditional diet don't show consistent dominant facial features. Additionally, some mouth breathers I know still have well-defined facial structures.
My question is there any solid science providing an answer to this question? If so, is it correlation or causation? And to what extent are the above factors determinants of facial outcomes?
I attach here some of the research showing a correlation between jaw development and chewing hard foods: link1 and link2.

Coming to my question, is it true that early homo-sapiens don't have cases of crowded teeth? And, could a smaller jaw and lower necessity for using your teeth provide the evolutionary stimulus for the development of weaker jaws and a recessive chin that is becoming more common? TIA

What do you think?
What do you think of hijra bank using a religious naming indicating the migration of Mohammed? Shouldn't commerce be separate from religious affiliations? Imagine if some Christian guy opened a Mariam bank or sth similar. It wouldn't have been received well.
To add on to this, all other banks provide Islamic financial services even though there is no such thing as Islamic banking in the 21st century. These have been debunked as they replace interest with other sale and buyback agreements. What is your take on this?
Oromia bank, Amhara bank, Hejra bank, etc.... Why are they capitalizing on attracting certain ethnic groups and religions??? Initial investors are from the specified ethnic and religious groups?? What kind of marketing is this? Shouldn't they focus on the quality of service and differentiate themselves instead of just having an Oromo or Amhara president lol?? I don't know if there business function is not discriminatory.
Aster has released remastered works of her past works, and I've got to say she has proven to be the GOAT. Aster has been releasing timeless classics accurately capturing various facets of Ethiopian social life with mesmerizing lyrics and tonality. I listen to her music every day. The only reason she is not as famous as The Weeknd is that she did not join the illumnati. What is your favorite track from aster? Mine is yayine menkeretat from sebebu album.
I read that learning to play this musical instrument can strengthen your throat and reduce snoring. Has anyone tried this? Are there replacement exercises that we could emulate without investing on this musical instrument? And can this work for nasal snoring? TIA

I used the Prime Sleep recorder app to record my sleep at night, and it costs $ 5 per month. It is really good as it organizes recordings into small snippets of important components.
Even though the sleep recording functionality is good, how accurate is the analysis of my sleep quality and tracking of the time I am awake? I got a sleep quality score of only 40%. Was anyone able to improve their score on this?
I attached a recording below, and my snoring seems bad at the early stages of my sleep and gets better later after midnight. I was wearing a backpack for side sleeping and using completely sealed medical tape to avoid mouth breathing. I had a nasal blockage due to the flu at this time; that might also be the reason behind my snoring.
Don't you see resemblance between how brexit and the eritrean referendum for independence turned out. Both involved sinister political framings to grab power and resulted in worse conditions. Eritrea seems to be at a worse state compared to where it was considered the richest region in Ethiopia. And many uk citizens are complaining about the negative outcome of brexit? referendum should not be given to people who can not discern what is best for them. Eritreans are also known for supporting issias while they are being enslaved. can this be said about eritreans given the state of the country?
Why do khat chewers always use peanuts and Coke with khat? And don't you think khat chewing is weird? They look like a goat that has overeaten leaves, lol? I know Oromos are big on khat compared to others. Do you know the history behind this drug?
My manager is a severe malignant narcissist characterized by intense paranoia, sadism, and callousness. This person tries to show he is better than every other person in every possible domain. He would even compete and drag a 2-year-old if they are getting more attention than him.
To my point, he is leaving in 2 months for a different company. I am also leaving the company after a short time. The guy is known to be a headache among upper management, but the management seems to tolerate his behavior.
Now, I am planning on doing subtle things that slowly destroy his ego so that he would have a narcissistic collapse; that would be my last farewell to him. I would have a number of meetings within this remaining time frame. It's unlikely that his retaliation in this short time frame would result in something of a consequential impact. Which method do you think will work so that the narc gets what he deserves?
Edit: Some of the things I am planning are: staring him down and laughing while he tries to belittle me. Or commenting something about his intelligence or looks. Passive-aggressive digs that could get to him. If you had any success doing this, let me know.
