I've noticed some sisters here and in general often like to shame Men who have strict boundaries, standards or have opinion they disagree with, by questioning their masculinity.

"A real Man wouldn't do X"

"A real Man wouldn't say X"

"A real Man wouldn't believe X"

Etc..

A "real Man" according to most sisters is just a want who constantly bends his spine and lives his life just to please Women and solely abide by what THEY personally want.

Notice how when Women describe a "Real Man" he happens to always benefit the Woman in every way and holds views that all unequivocally favour/prioritise Women. The definition is always framed around how useful, accommodating and beneficial he is to Women, rather than his principes, self-respect, personal aspirations or character.

So don't let sisters tell you what a real Man should or shouldn't be. Most of them know nothing of Manhood or masculinity.

If a Woman ever tells you or tries to shame you into thinking you are not a "real Man" and you are genuinely hurt by that, you take her seriously and start questioning yourself, she is probably right. If a Woman says this to you, it usually means you are doing something right and are looking out for yourself, thinking for yourself so take it as a badge of honour.

Been noticing this trend where people label something they disagree with in Islam as "cultural" so in their heads they can justify rejecting it, by completely removing it from Islam all together.

Cultural practises being mixed in with Islamic practices is a genuine issue, which is why this type of thing can be dangerous because it's easy to get behind and support as a rally cry.

It's mostly traditional or gender related practises that typically get attacked with culture labels, gender segregation, concept of mahram/wali, traditional marriage roles, polygyny, niqab, etc.

This realisation made me wary of people who are very enthusiastic about "rejecting culture", because I've found that some of those kind of people are not truly about rejecting cultural practises, but rejecting the things I mentioned like traditionalism or gender specific practises by presenting them as "cultural" and in their place will go Western ideas and principles about those things usually.

It's mentally hard for a Muslim cognitive dissonance to outright reject a part of Islam they disagree with, so this is the way usually go about it I've found.

Women are very competitive, more competitive than most Men think. They compete for Male attention and validation and they often experience a very potent jealousy towards attractive females or Women who are successful with high value Men specifically.

Among the kuffar, this effect can be leveraged very easily and it allows a Kaffir Man who knows the game to extract as much value/effort he can out of any Woman.

The problem with marriage is that Women have effectively "secured" a Man and due to lack of competition and sense of safety they let themselves go, they don't put in effort anymore and they don't try to impress or please their husbands as much. They enter a state of laziness.

This has a simple solution, polygyny. As a Muslim Man you must marry multiple Women in order to extract the maximum value and effort from your wife. If your Wife is aware that there is another Woman, competing for your attention they will subconsciously work even harder to impress you, dress well for you, look more pretty for you, be more diligent in their chores, perform new tricks in the bedroom, etc. Having competition keeps them on their toes and makes everything more exciting for the Women and causes emotional highs for the Women involved which is critical for them, as married Women usually get bored of their husbands after a while, then fall out of love due to a lack of excitement even if he's objectively a good husband.

As a Muslim Man you will have the same experience as a Man who is dating/courting a Woman who herself is actively putting in maximum effort, doing her best to please the Man and making sure to be at her absolute best/peak in order to be attractive, whilst also making things halal and benefiting from the Nikkah.

The phoenix teamup really does help him and do a lot of heavy lifting, from the bleed and increased % damage, it makes a noticeable difference. His weaknesses are still apparent but not as bad.

But when I tried gambit teamup, I finally realized how truly dogshit he is and what people were talking about. He hits like a nerf gun and I'm tickling the opponents while waiting for the gambit cooldown. Compared to how he was pre-nerf, it's insane.

Before season 9 his headshots were fine, I could hit headshots consistently and it was great.

However after season 9 they definitely fucked something up in regards to his headshot registration, they became wildly inconsistent a bit like mantis. I thought it was just me until I heard other people say the same thing.

I've always played strange quite aggressively, sometimes even going as far as diving with other divers on my team and I've done quite well, often end up with the most KO's, most finals and most damage in my team.

This latest buff has boosted this playstyle tremendously for me. He does insane DPS now and the gamma teamup buff is decent too. I feel like it's just a waste to just stand at the front and hold shield all day rather than actually putting pressure on squishes and utilising his solid DPS.

It also depends on if I'm solo tanking. If I'm solo tanking I find myself being less aggressive (Until an opportunity presents itself) and more defensive in order to maintain my frontline, otherwise if I go off doing my own thing my whole team just scatters and gets picked off easily.

I've kept hearing about the tales of drunk Thor players talking away in VC all game, slurring all their words and despite that doing well somehow.

I came across one myself just recently. He told us he'd been drinking a bit at the start then was yapping the whole match, couldn't understand half the things he was saying tbh. Didn't complain though he was an entertaining chap and we won.

Is this an actual thing in the Thor community?

For me it's basically the equivalent of going onto GTA, putting on your favourite radio and just driving around.

I've beat the game multiple times already and have platinum. Now I just swing around and/or try different combinations of Spiderman with weather/suit. Raimi suit + sunset, symbiote + night, etc.

I have HUD permanently disabled too, makes the experience much better. Not to mention the amazing graphics on the Pro + OLED TV, it's like a movie and the city looks beautiful.

I'm probably awful at the combat now though, but at least I'm good at swinging around the city.

He's a ticklemonster unless you're up close and personal, yet he's a 250hp squishy who gets knocked over by the wind. Why on earth would removing his overshield be a good idea?

I really want to know their thought process, do they even have one?

>Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

>Reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: There are people from the servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allah, the Most High.

>They (the people) asked: Tell us, Messenger of Allah, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allah (i.e. the Qur'an), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allah, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve.

>He then recited the following Qur'anic verse: "Behold! Verily for the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve."
