I told my neighbor off because of her smoking behavior in an enclosed space that is near my apartment. I first talked to the manager and with her multiple times that it is not right to smoke in a shared space. But she couldn't stop, and the smoke is directly coming into my rooms. I don't really like the smoke, and it's really perplexing to me how people could inhale these combinations of putrid smoke. Why don't smokers just use nicotine patches to get the effects of nicotine while avoiding inserting these chemicals??

And coming to the main point, I shouted at her. I told her that I could call the police and asked her how she dares to invade my space without any consideration for a shared space. At one point, I told her she is like a company generating daily industrial waste into people's room and told her that I don't want even microscopic traces of these chemicals to be near my room. I asked her whether she would like it if I came to her room and did something that would be of discomfort to her.

she didn't take it well. I was speaking in a high volume, and she told me that she felt dehumanized and shamed. I apologized at the end and gave her an ultimatum to continue smoking but to let me know so that I could change a house

I guess because she is a woman, she didn't take it well. I was speaking in a high volume, and she told me that she felt dehumanized and shamed. I apologized at the end and gave her an ultimatum to continue smoking but to let me know so that I could change a house

It's well known that firm state leaders are extremely rich by virtue of the power they wield. Putin is an example of this; he is estimated to be the richest person in the world because he owns the entire Russian state machinery. But in my interactions in this sub, people seem to believe the false, down-to-earth persona of Issias.

It can be seen that the state government controls the entire economy, including monetary transfers from the diaspora. Additionally, there is a well-documented participation of the Eritrean regime in transnational money and people smuggling networks raking in billions annually. The proceeds of the economy are laundered in neighboring African countries like Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda. And that's the funny thing: the regime only invests money outside of Eritrea.

Based on all this data, It's estimated that Isais accrued billions in foreign accounts. Then why were people downvoting me on a previous post when I said this? Do you believe the Eritrean culture is dystopian to this level that everyone, including Isais, is happy being poor in a dysfunctional economy? I want to know how people still believe that Issias is a humble, frugal communist who is working for everyone's well-being, lol. How is the propaganda so effective at this level?

Would individuals with child attractions be likely to commit child sexual abuse if they did not also have an additional mental health condition associated with low empathy, lack of remorse, or other brain impairments? Since child abuse inherently causes severe harm, I would expect comorbid conditions such as psychopathy or narcissistic personality traits to be common among offenders. People who abuse others often appear to have underlying psychological problems, such as depression or narcissistic traits. What is the current scientific consensus on this issue?

I saw some posts saying the US is giving up the TPLF as a middle ground and going on their plan to establish ties with Eritrea and support Egypt's dam plans. Abiy will get more power in Ethiopia, and the US will go on with its plans in Eritrea and Egypt without harming its relationship with Ethiopia. Isn't it better for them to support Ethiopia's sea access instead of working with a communist country? Additionally, Egypt is also at odds with Ethiopia over the war in Sudan and the Nile dam. I think they are a bigger ally to the US. What is your thought on this?

For centuries, perhaps even thousands of years, Habeshi women have been lusted over by Arab men. Habeshi women were very common in the royal harems of Arabia, Persia, Egypt, and Ottomans. It’s the reason why countless Khaleeji royals today have Ethiopian ancestry. Heck the last King of Kuwait’s mother was an Ethiopian concubine.

Anyways, I’m currently in Jeddah, and I had a conversation with this sweet miskeen Habeshi woman that I met at a souk. She works as a housemaid and she told me she has a difficult time getting jobs in Arab homes only because the wives of the husbands are scared of their husbands being attracted to them. They accept all other nationalities - except Habeshi women. lol. They don’t want women that resemble Beyoncé or Rihanna near their husbands. “They’re very jealous of us and our beauty” she told me. I thought it was interesting. I already knew everything she told me because it’s a common thing in the Gulf.

What do you think of the forced conscription by remnants of TPLF being done currently in Tigray? Do you think it is humane to forcefully conscript young people?

Malignant narcissist: exercises control and coercive tactics. They have sadistic behaviors, combined with a fragile ego, which makes them really dangerous. In the workplace, for example, they like to torture people below them by being an extreme contrarian and continuously criticizing them, which breaks morale and creates anxiety.

Psychopaths/ASPD: These are known for committing deliberate, planned crimes. Famous serial killers and corporate swindlers are psychopaths.

Covert narcissist: can not handle rejection. May commit horrific crimes during a breakup, including acid attacks.

BPD: Known for domestic abuse due to abandonment issues.

Grandiose narcissist: the least dangerous narcissist. Less likely to commit crime.

Which personality do you think is capable of the most damage? I would say the malignant narcissist.

Why does the food at restaurants taste really bad, generally speaking? How could someone fumble making a samosa or basic egg scrambles? I am not a good cook lol, but I wouldn't struggle with making eggs. If I have to eat out, I go to restaurants with foreign cuisines. Is this carelessness or do the chefs get the job through nepotism lol? Even when I give them feedback, they get annoyed lol.... What is your experience?

This is one of the patriotic songs that are among the reasons Somalia was cooked in the 77 war(still probably is). Korat negn!!! Respect tilahun! 🫡🫡

I like to be out in the sun, either while swimming or while clothed. But this sunbathing seems to have an effect on the skin, especially on my back(I am seeing some sunburn on my back). And I don't think it's good for you to put on a lot of cosmetic chemicals because some have been shown to have harmful chemicals that impact your brain. I haven't watched all the Huberman videos on sunscreen, but I think I have seen snippets where he talks about the possibility of these sunscreen products passing the blood-brain barrier, affecting your mental state.

so my questions are:

- Is using sunscreen useful, or are there other methods to effectively prevent sunburn(can a lotion do the work)?

- Are some sunscreen products harmful to you? if so, what distinguishing features do they have?

are there cold plunge/ice bath services in kigali? Do you know any spas that provide this service?

I used to follow huberman podcast every week, but nowadays I don't have time to listen to his long podcasts. But based on his past episodes, I followed his tips for years till now. Some of the protocols I follow religiously are:

• Sunlight with walking in the morning and afternoon
• intermittent fasting by having the first meal at 2 pm
• sleeping 8 hours a day with consistent timing (I also use earplugs, mouth tapes, and sleeping masks)
• One tip that really works for me is elevating my feet a little above my face by using a pillow while sleeping.
• Workout in the morning with a combination of high-intensity cardio and weight lifting

I used to meditate, but I stopped because it was making me too alert. I am highly productive if I follow the above protocols. I can focus for long hours non-stop to do some work without fatiguing every day of the week with no breaks. But if I start to relax, I may fall into bad habits, and everything might crumble.

These tips worked for improving my sleep so I wake up energetic and have a joyful day, unless I meet difficult people who disrupt my day. My question is, what additional tips do you have for improving sleep that do not involve supplementation?

Now my question is what additional tips I should follow, and tips that worked for you that do not involve supplementing. The purpose is to do long hours of focused work and have mental clarity. I haven't been following what new tips are there to add to my protocol?

I am reading that empathy and cooperation started to develop in humans late, after more primitive traits like seeking mates and survival strategies. Given that empathy plays a major role in our survival as tribes, what do you think explains the variations of this trait among people? Some people might be callous, causing destruction, while others risk their lives to save others. The level of empathy in humans to other humans, to the degree of my knowledge, never matches that perceived in animals. For instance, a father might fight off a wild animal while telling their children to run off, risking his life to save that of his children; I don't think this selfless behavior is common in other animals.

But on the other end, there are people who are totally unbothered by the well-being of others, which might be dangerous for our survival. Why do you think this is the case? Is it because they adapted to hostile environments or filled certain roles in society that might require low levels of these traits?

Sorry if this dumb question; I am new to the topic.
