Are there any buses driving that route or what are the options? I wanted to avoid flying

I'm curious about how people actually handle this.

If you bring homemade food to work, what do you normally do when there's no microwave available?

1. Eat it cold?
2. Buy lunch instead?
3. Use another heating method?
4. Bring something that doesn't need heating?
5. Something else?

And what's the most annoying part about your current solution?

Anti-theist** (spelling error in the title)
I was born in a strict religious muslim family, and when i was about 13 i just decided that none of it makes any sense to me and completely lost my faith. I only identified myself as an atheist to my friends, and colleagues because obviously my family would disown me if they knew lol. As i grew older, and got more exposed to different things in life and met new people, i realized how deprived of life i was under the name of religion simply because i was a girl. From that point on i’ve leaned more towards anti-theism. Anyways, most of my friends are agnostics/atheists as well but they’re usually from non religious backgrounds to begin with so they don’t really have the same experience as i do. I’ve never come across an ex-muslim turned atheist, esp a woman so i’m wondering if there’s anyone who’s going through the same thing as me. Unfortunately, I’m still stuck and suffering in that household constantly having to pretend i’m still a muslim so I wonder how y’all cope and avoid arguments on a daily basis?

>On August 13, police raided two brothels on Pyi Thayar Street in Ward No. 4, arresting 32 women and four men. Days later, the women were sentenced to three years and the men to five years.

>Residents said sex businesses are controlled by the military and allied armed groups, with operators paying protection fees in the tens of millions of kyats. Prostitution is illegal in Myanmar.

>“All these places are about sex. The only difference is how much money they charge for the services,” said one resident close to the armed groups.

>Local health workers said that jailing a handful of sex workers would neither reduce the trade nor control HIV. Effective prevention requires regular medical checks and access to health care at brothels, KTVs, and massage parlors, they added.

>“If health teams were allowed inside, they could test blood, provide treatment, and administer injections when needed. Without cooperation, these crackdowns achieve nothing,” one health official said.

>Myawaddy authorities have conducted 14 HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns in cooperation with local organizations this year, but civil society groups say more is urgently needed.

>Lawyer and border affairs observer Saw Ba Oo Lay said the crackdown was cosmetic: “They only target low‑level workers. If they were serious, they would raid the KTVs inside Myawaddy’s golf course, where sex services are rampant. As long as the military and its allied Border Guard Force, Democratic Karen Benevolent Army, and KNLA-PC run these illegal businesses, nothing will change.”

Hello, my name is Shark. That's not my real name it's what my friends called me. I'm 24 years old. I've been learning English by myself for a few months now. I've been away from school since the coup. I think it's been about four or five years now. I've been fighting back against the military ever since. Anyway, I don't regret it. I do my best and put in the effort to move forward. Sometimes learning alone is difficult for me.Sometimes I used Ai. I'm studying English by watching movie and listening music, podcast etc. I want to know a more effective way to learn English. Give me a comment.

I’m trying to track down a documentary about the 1988 Burmese pro democracy protests (8888 Uprising) that I watched on YouTube a while ago, but it seems to have vanished or been taken down.

​The main detail I remember was a specific archival clip showing a Japanese reporter cameraman getting arrested (or possibly shot and killed) while covering the demonstrations or military crackdown in the streets.
