This is such a nice community.

I came here out of desperation for a loan (deleted it because I felt really ashamed lmfao) but I stayed and read over the posts, this is such a kind, generous community. I think it's really awesome. Ill stay here purely for that.

Need 100 Dollars, Will Repay 110 within ~2 months, Western Union, Pakistan, Bills.

Need a 100 dollar loan.

I wish I was joking. I don't expect handouts, I don't expect anything like that. I've been trying to do art commissions, but no one's taking me. I can do those too, for reference..

I need a hundred dollars urgently for due payments to help my family with. I need someone to trust me on this. I'd repay it to you in around \~2 months, as soon as I'd get the money to do so, I'd pay you in installments. I'm in Pakistan, so western union, etc, work for me. If someone wants to help, pls dm me. I'm so sorry, and thank you so much.

I can do it for artwork too, if that helps..

I will repay you the exact amount..for interest, you'd need to wait a bit more cause I have to save up allowances. Thank you guys.

How can I upgrade my setup?

I know it isn't the best right now, but I'm balling on a budget lmao.

Plan is to get a dark grey felt desk mat, but besides that, what can you reccomend to make this look good? It can be anything, but not too expensive please lmao.

It just doesn't feel as cool as I want it to.

Do tell me what I can add/remove/etc. I really don't want to move the PC under the desk though, that's one exception. Please help! I was fine with it before, but someone said it didn't look that amazing, so, I started thinking. Do let me know!

Note: the lighting is not as pinkish as it looks. My camera just sucks.

How can I get as close as possible to a felt mousepad?

I'm sorry, I hope I am doing this right. I recently ordered a mousepad that was made of felt/synthetic wool. I LOVED the look of the texture (I'll attach a photo here), but loathed the feeling. It is rough, my mouse catches on it (which I should've seen coming), and I don't know how to fix it. I do not want a smaller mousepad for just the right side, as it looks unpleasant to me. I also don't want to layer two mousepads. I'd prefer a desk-mat that doubles as a mousepad, you know?

I've previously had cloth ones before this, and they worked wonderfully. I want to keep this same grey, mottled look, but the feel should be better. What do I do? I don't want just a plain black mousepad..

I would love if someone could either:

Suggest a solution, tell me a way to perhaps make this mousepad usable and seal these fibres that keep snagging, or, a good replacement.

Is it possible to maybe have a plain cloth mousepad, simply printed with the look of felt? I am unfamiliar, and somewhat on a budget. Thanks!

The disease of policing clothes in islam

I'm actually so sick of this shit. A woman practically can't breathe if her skin is showing, but men can waddle around in revealing clothes without issue in islam. They always argue that "men have to cover their legs too", that is not even remotely the same as needing to cover the whole body and hair for women???

Islam pushes such dated morals and it absolutely pisses me off. Look at these comments. One just loses faith in humanity instantly. When did it become so justified to wish ill on someone so casually? This isn't even half of the comments, majority of these are talking shit. Islam absolutely does objectify women into instruments of attraction for men.
