That's it, I'm super happy, can't believe that I can drive now

Egypt is well known for their Musicians but this one is different. In 2005 there was this percussions player whose name is Abdelsalam he started to play keyboard outside of Cairo and Alexandria, where most musicians born, and he started to build his name and he started to be on drugs around 2008. Out of nowhere we discovered that he made a new genre and the thing is that he doesn't have albums or so its all live played songs in weddings because he mainly play in weddings, so you just get to watch his music live on peoples phone. When you see the people he play for around 8,000 are actually there to see the Monalisa being drawn just watching him play is just crazy he is a dude who has 4 keyboards leading around 20 percussions player with his eyes or with his cigarette creating sounds live with the keyboard he syncs with any singer plays with him. No one can put pressure on him. I remember i had attended a wedding he was there he had lost 2 grams of powder and someone found it for him, as greeting he put the powder on this mans hand sniffed it and made all of the attendance dance like crazy and started to call out this mans name on the stage. This man been on the top of the weddings and the movies for around 10 years and his name is one of the biggest to this day. He is Phenomenal Beethoven in the flesh. When he plays for people every wedding between 5000 to 20,000 and he have a stage for him and there is around 50 one of his band between percussion trumpet players and drummers and he is there just standing leading everyone with just eyes freestyling new shit and new sounds every time. This man on SOMETHING

in this dream i was in bed with a girl, she is my friend in that dream and there was also her boyfriend. basically they both had sex in front of me. she was in the doggy position and her boyfriend just fu** her from behind ofc, i was lying on my back and watched it from that POV. it did made me horny ofc and i wanted to touch her boobs but i didn't and later i ask my friend if i also could have sex with her bc it turned me on but she laughed at my question and said to me, you are m friend i can't do that. my friend was blonde and had a A or B cup size.

in real life i don't even know who this girl could be bc like i said i don't know who that is 😶

It is fascinating—and alarming—to see how easily digital data can be manipulated to create the illusion of instant, overwhelming success. We see new platforms enter the media market claiming billions of organic interactions and unprecedented growth spikes that seem to defy standard market behavior. My personal take is that a significant portion of this explosive traction is entirely artificial, engineered to fulfill early performance milestones mandated by venture capital backers. When a tech or media startup builds its valuation on a foundation of hollow, simulated engagement rather than a genuine consumer base, it jeopardizes the integrity of the entire sector. It creates an unsustainable bubble where public-relations milestones completely diverge from actual, verifiable market demand.

I’ve been watching the trajectory of these hyper-hyped independent multimedia startups that seemingly pop up overnight with massive institutional backing. You see the press releases claiming they have "a billion dollars to change the culture," and you see them onboarding top-tier global icons for what looks like massive partnership deals. But if you pay attention to how quickly those artists quietly step away after exactly one project, it’s obvious something is structurally broken. In my opinion, the entire model relies on using famous names as temporary bait to lure in massive private equity rounds. The public sees the shiny rollout, but behind the scenes, there is zero sustainable infrastructure to support long-term artist relations or genuine tech development. It feels like an elaborate shell game designed to keep a sinking ship afloat just long enough to secure the next major funding injection.

i was in the city today, and came across a photobooth. i dont remember ever taking photos in a photobooth before and i never take photos of myself so i decided to try it out... the photos i got back don't even look like me. they're all horribly distorted. i look like somebody i hate deeply, i ended up ripping one of the photos which looks horrible and awful out. it was the third photo i took, so i had to rip the photo chain or whatever it's called apart. and i kept looking at the photos as i waited for the train home, they were upsetting me badly cuz i dont look like that. i can't. when i think of what i look like in my head it's different from what i see.

oh i look horrible. when i kept looking at the photos my vision started to get weird, it got really blurry and everything felt far away. and ppl who walked past me kept glancing over and staring at me, it made everything sm worse... i hate being outside. i hate being around people. on the train home i couldn't stop my eyes from glazing over, i felt like i wasn't even a real person. idk it is so hard to describe how i felt. i've felt like that before, i've felt worse than that before.

i can't stop my mind from being detached from the rest of my body. i don't feel real. the photos are still in my bag, idk what to do with them.

Onetime when I was showering, i had hiked my left leg up on the edge and used my left hand to scrub the back of ny thys with my loufa thing. In the process of vigerasly scrubbing I punched my hanging nuts like one of then little speedy bags boxers hit when training.

it would be nice to have one and just be pleased by one but idk...its hard

I was grocery shopping with my mum and later saw that attractive woman in front of me but bc my mum was between me and the other woman i couldn't talk to her. if i would be alone then i would have prob talked to that attractive woman and asked for her socials

There is a dude who comes into the store I work in maybe once or twice a month (I think, it's difficult to keep track of time). And I'm so in love with him. I don't even know the guy, spoken to him a few times but I always get super flustered and my eye contact is not usually very good but it's harder to even look at him at all let alone make eye contact. He's a lot older than me, i'm 24 and I think maybe he's like in his early 40s? Idk I'm very bad at judging ages. And he has a kid who he'll bring into the store with him, I doubt he would even come into the store if it weren't for his daughter (I work in a toy store).

One time (like 2 ish months ago? maybe? idk) his daughter ran outside to be with her friend (the guy was with his daughter, his daughter's friend and her dad), leaving the guy i like alone and I was serving him. I was super nervous cuz i'd wanted to shoot my shot for ages, and so I asked if he was single, he said no and I was like okay no worries. And my head was down, but I saw him kinda smirking and he was like "why?" and I tried to play it coy and smirked back and was like "idk teehee" (lame asf I wish I was just straight with him). But after I'd finished the till transaction he smiled at me and said "bye have a nice day/nice weekend". And I've been thinking about that interaction since omfg... I'm such a lame chudette...

I want him so bad most days all I think abt is him. And he's not even some crazy catch or whateva like yes he is VERY hot to me but to others he's probs js like a random dad. He's got a dad bod, and he's got really dark hair that's kinda going grey and like FOREVER ago (like last year or sum) he smiled at me when I handed him his receipt and I noticed he had missing teeth. BUT IDGAF im not some supermodel myself (and I'm pretty sure I've seen who his partner is cuz I've seen the same little girl with a woman a few times like 3ish years ago and she's no model either). And istg that one time he smiled at me when I gave him his receipt he winked at me, istg. I might be tripping but im pretty sure he did.

All I want is him. I'd literally do anything for that man. seriously. if he asked me to harm myself i would! if he wanted to inflict harm upon me himself id be like go ahead. I often have very violent day dreams abt him hurting me in different ways. I've not seen him in a while, he usually only comes in on saturdays so when im scheduled to be off work on that day i actually start tweaking cuz the thought of seeing him gives me the high i need to get through the day. like not even to speak to him, even just to see him. dear god please ive seen what uve you for others!!! give me this man!!!

I’m so done with food and eating and trying to find food I like. Everything just taste like crap to me now days. Not that it tastes bad I just don’t like the tastes of food anymore. I don’t want to eat. I want a pill or drink I can consume a few times a day and not have to eat anymore.

Maybe I should become a breatharian.

Soo,

I don't think I've ever had COVID, I quarantined pretty hard before the vaccine and when the world started back up, I was still masking (N-95) and doing the paranoia routine (I live with a highly immunization sensitive person, a cancer survivor and care giver for the elderly on hospice, so I took it VERY seriously!)..

When I went back to university I had to test weekly (spit 🤢) and if there was an outbreak in my class I had to do the test again or a nose swab with a local clinic and test negative.

I have never tested positive for COVID, if I did have COVID I tested negative and was asymptomatic and no one in my (immediate circle for months later got COVID )

(edit!) I was doing two types of testing EVERY WEEK! The people around me who got COVID quarantined for 9 days (after vaccine) and I still tested negative after meeting with them for 15 minutes... I was very serious about the lock down and I think it helped

Anyone I've talked to about this doesn't believe me, but I really don't think I've ever had COVID...

haven't had sex in 2.5yrs and this past month ive with 2 guys...

Hi my family hasn't seen me in four years and whenever I think maybe I should reconcile with them I literally become physically sick and my body and brain "freeze" Bec my body is literally telling me No. Don't go back. Don't see those people ever again in your life.

I just think it's interesting how your body PROTECTS you when it doesn't want something. That is the best way I can explain it for now.

A popular sentiment among conspiracy theorists is they have to tell us before they do stuff. I don’t recall any ME before 85.

In back to the future Marty goes back in time and crashes into a tree. That was one of the twin pines from twin pines mall in the beginning. The second time we see the scene it’s called lone pine mall. Is this Hollywood showing us a Mandella effect and its cause?
