Guys, m tryna find a good German language center. Any recommendations? Or does anyone here study at one or plan to start learning German?

Since my grandpa passed away (RIP ❤️), we’ve tried to keep the family close by meeting up pretty much every week.

At first it was just us boys(me and my cousins). We’d meet at one of my cousin’s houses, cook lunch or dinner ourselves, watch football, play gaming, joke around, roast each other, and just chill. Those days were honestly one of the best parts of my week.

Then over time our parents, aunts, uncles, and the rest of the fam started joining too. Now we’re still the ones cooking, then we take the food downstairs and serve everyone. The gatherings got way bigger.

The thing is lately I’ve been noticing stuff I never really paid attention to b4 idk, theres so much favoritism. Some ppl get way more attention than others. Some relatives always make time for certain ppl but barely acknowledge the rest. I first noticed it between some of my aunts, then my uncles, and now I kinda c it all over the family.

I never say anything cuz I hate drama, but these gatherings don’t hit the same anymore. Instead of just enjoying myself, I catch myself watching how everyone treats each other, and honestly it feels kinda fake sometimes.

Maybe I’m just getting older and noticing things I never saw b4 idk.

Anyone else been through this? Or am I just overthinking it?

Sometimes ppl come into our lives quietly, and then they leave a mark that time cannot erase. We think they will stay, that life will give us more stories and laughs with them, but life slowly pulls us apart until they become only a distant memory, like they passed through once and then disappeared.

Idk if I am the only one who feels this, but I often face this strange emptiness.

There r pp I spent months or even years with school friends, classmates, faces I saw every day. We talked, laughed, and shared small details that did not seem important at the time, but later turned out to be some of the most precious things we had. Then school ends, paths change, or life gets too busy, and suddenly it feels like we never knew each other.

Even now, some of them r still on my Instagram. I see their names and their stories sometimes, but I do not text them, and they do not text me. We just pass through each other’s lives in silence, watching frm far away, like that sweet little chapter was only a short dream.

And yes, I am not innocent in this either. I disappear frm ppl lives pretty easily. I do not reach out, I do not send a text, and I do not really add new ppl to my circle. Then years pass, and coming back feels awkward, or just too late, so silence becomes the only answer.

But there is one person I still secretly hope to see again.
His name is ”Reda Ouaddi” i miss him HEAVY. I moved frm public school to private school in 6th grade, and honestly, I did not even want to study in private school at all. Whn I walked into class, they had already been there for about two months, and on my first day I met him and sat next to him. It felt like I had found someone I had known forever. It was really special to me, like life had suddenly given me a friend who understood me, with no warning and no plan. But after that year ended, he disappeared, and I had to go through middle school and high school without him, and honestly, I was never fully comfortable.

Sometimes I still wonder how someone who was only a small part of ur life can stay in ur mind for so long.
And I catch myself asking: does he remember me too? Or am I just an old classmate who passed through his life and was swallowed by time?

What is even stranger is that I looked for him on almost every social media app, and I always searched for him first, but I never found him.

Has anyone else gone through something like this? Like missing someone frm school, even though you were very close that one year, and now u do not know anything about them at all?

Hi everyone,

I recently started working and I’m looking for a new hobby. M interested in learning drawing and painting and would love to join in person classes on weekends in Agadir.

Does anyone know any art schools, workshops, cultural centers, or teachers that offer beginner-friendly classes?

Thanks 🫶🏻

Hey guys, m super close with my sis. We same age, she 22 im 23 and we study at same school.

Today i found out for sure she’s smoking. I found hash and tobacco in our room / bathroom. Nobody in our family smokes at all. Someone told me before but i didn’t believe it,now it’s 100% true.

Tbh i don’t know what to do. Should i talk to her or stay quiet? if my dad finds out she might get kicked out of school. He always warns us about drugs and this stuff every day.

I feel stuck cuz i don’t wanna ruin her future but i also can’t just ignore it.

Any advice?

Guys, yesterday I went to McDonald’s in Agadir for the first time in years. I used to go there a long time ago, but I honestly haven’t been back in ages.

What really shocked me wasn’t the food or the place itself, but what was happening around it. There were a lot of ppl hanging around who looked completely out of it, and it made the area feel pretty uncomfortable.

I also saw several people begging customers for food and money. At one point, a grp of young guys were approaching girls and families asking for food and cash, and they seemed very high. It honestly made me feel bad for everyone involved and changed the whole atmosphere of the place.

Has anyone else noticed this around McDonald’s Agadir recently, or was it just a bad day when I went?

I keep ending up hating friendships and now I prefer being alone

From my experience, every year I used to make new friends, especially while studying. But somehow it always ended the same way. After some time, I would start to dislike the friendship, feel uncomfortable, disappointed, or realize we weren’t respecting each other the way I expected.

This happened again and again for years.

After all of that, I decided to stay alone and stop trying to make close friends because I got tired of repeating the same experience.

The thing is: I’m not really introverted. I can be social, talk to people, and make connections easily. But because of my past experiences, I actually enjoy being alone more now.

At the same time, I still sometimes wish to find a good friend someday, someone respectful, mature, and where the friendship feels balanced and genuine instead of full of drama or bad behavior.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you stop making friends for a while? Or did you eventually find better people?

Idk if this is the right place to ask this, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about leftism and political ideologies in general.

What exactly do you guys consider “leftist” today? Because online it feels like the term gets thrown around for everything, from social democracy and welfare states to full-on communism.

Can someone be strongly leftist without actually being communist? Or is modern leftism basically just communism in a softer or more partial form?

Tbh I feel like over the past few years I’ve slowly shifted more toward the left politically, especially on things like workers rights, healthcare, housing, wealth inequality, and corporate power. But at the same time, I don’t fully agree with every radical idea either.

I’m trying to understand where the line actually is between progressive politics, socialism, leftism, and communism because people mix those terms together all the time and it gets confusing af.

Also, what do you think attracts people to leftist ideologies so much nowadays? Economic pressure? Social issues? Disappointment with capitalism? Internet culture?

Curious to hear different opinions from both left-wing and right-wing people without the usual “your side bad my side good” debate lol.

THANK YOU ALL 🫶🏻

Hey everyone,
I’ve recently gotten really into Lebanese cinema, especially films released between 2020 and 2026.
I’m curious to hear your personal top 3 picks

1) Lebanon – Top 3 films (2020–2026)
What are your top 3 Lebanese movies from this period?
Why do you consider them the best? (story, acting, direction, themes, etc.)
They can be anything: classics of the period, recent releases, or hidden gems that didn’t get much attention.

I’m open to everything: social dramas, indie films, festival favorites, or underrated movies that deserve more recognition.
Would love to discover new perspectives and expand my watchlist

Thanks in advance

Hallo guys, I’m a future international student and I’ll start in September. Right now I’m trying to find a place to rent but honestly idk where to start

Is it easy to find rent while still being in my home country or is it kinda difficult if I’m not already in Huddersfield?

If anyone got tips, trusted websites, student groups, or advice about avoiding scams, pls let me know

Thank you All

I’ve been thinking a lot about Sufism and why it creates so much debate among Muslims and even non-Muslims. Some people see it as the spiritual heart of Islam focused on self purification, remembrance of God, inner peace, humility, and love. Others argue that over time certain Sufi movements introduced practices and beliefs that were never part of early Islam, such as excessive veneration of saints, shrine culture, mystical interpretations, and concepts like unity of existence.

What’s also interesting is that many non-religious people and even some atheists seem more attracted to Sufism than to other Islamic movements because of its philosophical, poetic, and spiritual nature.

So where do you personally draw the line between spirituality and religious excess? Do you think the issue is with Sufism itself, or mainly with some practices that developed later over the centuries?

I’ve been thinking about something lately and I’m genuinely confused about it.

Why do religions split into so many groups and sects over time?
For example in Islam you have Sunni and Shia, then inside Sunni there are different madhabs, and inside some groups there are even more branches and interpretations and for Shia as well.

The same thing happens in Christianity and other religions too.

If religion is supposed to come from one truth or one God, why are there so many disagreements between believers themselves? And how does an average person know which interpretation is the “right” one when every group believes they are correct?

I’m not trying to attack anyone, I’m honestly curious and I’d like to hear how atheists or ex-religious people think about this.

Hey guys, I’m traveling to Algeria soon (I’m from Tunisia), and this will be my second time there.

I’m still confused about how the currency works on the street because I keep hearing people talk in “thousands” and “millions”, and honestly I don’t understand anything .

I usually think in euros, but it seems like most people there use these terms instead of exact dinar amounts.

Can someone explain in a simple way what alf or million actually means in dinars, and how I can quickly convert that into euros in my head?

Also, are there any tips or tricks to understand prices better as a foreigner? I just want to avoid confusion and know exactly how much I’m paying when someone tells me a price.

Thanks a lot

guys please i really need advice and i hope u read this even if it’s long, my life feels like it completely stopped, before my twenties everything was good i had dreams, goals, motivation and i knew what i wanted, but after i got my bachelor everything changed, now i live here with my mom while my dad and my two brothers are abroad, one of my brothers is normal and not a problem but the middle one is the problem, he is 28 but acts like he is 10, he has been in europe since he was 16 and now he is 28 and has done nothing with his life, he lives there with my dad and my other brother and now it’s been a year without work, and honestly he keeps getting worse every year, when he was working he was wasting crazy money like 300 euros in one day and god knows where it goes, he brings random ppl into the house when my dad and brother are not there, does drugs, lies a lot and even steals which is something that never existed in our family, like it’s only him who became like this, and the biggest problem is the stress he puts on my mom even from far away, she never has peace because of him and it affected her health a lot, she is getting sick, losing weight etc, and she already has problems with my dad’s family so she is carrying too much, i stopped my whole life just to stay with her and support her because she is here alone with me, i’m 24 now and i feel like i did nothing in my life because of this situation, and we all tried many times to help him, my dad, my mom, me and even my other brother, we always talk to him, give him advice and even find him jobs, but he never stays, his employers always call because of problems and he ends up leaving or getting fired, so nothing changes, and he doesn’t even care about anyone, one time he even brought a girl into the house there and my dad caught him sleeping with her and he still didn’t care, recently he even got called by the police because he stole a phone and still acts like nothing happened and goes out like everything is normal, and on top of that he calls my cousin who is struggling here just to ask him for money even tho he is the one living in europe, like it makes no sense, what hurts more is that everyone dreams to be in the place he is in and get the chances he has but he doesn’t care at all and keeps wasting everything, and there are ppl who risk everything and go to europe illegally with nothing and still manage to build a life and make their families proud, while he had everything since he was 16 and still chose to do nothing, he doesn’t even think about building his future or focusing on something like studying or improving himself even if he already wasted a year, to be honest he wasted years and years, and even when he was working if u look at him he lives like someone homeless and this year is even worse than all the years before, and my older brother who lives with him doesn’t even want to get married and leave him alone which makes things more complicated, i feel like one person destroyed the peace of our whole family and i’m stuck between staying for my mom or leaving to finally live my life, i’m tired mentally and i don’t know what to do anymore, what would u do if u were me?

thank u all
