NEWS: Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif calls for a 2-week ceasefire in the Middle East, urging Trump to extend his deadline and asking Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as a "goodwill gesture"

I saw this video and started to cry, not because of some ageist nonsense, but because it warmed my heart so much... a girly will always be a girl🥹❤️
English
I'm genuinely confused
What the fuck was the point of the Iran war?

@EvanAKilgore What would make anyone support the man 3 times? SMDH

MAGA is dying.
The energy is gone.
Trump turned out to be just like the rest of them.
I say this as a 3x Trump voter.
It sucks but once you wake up, you can't unsee it.
Nobody is coming to save us.

@ronrule @Kitchen6Beverly You mean like taxpayers paying for private schools? Get a better argument.
English
@Kitchen6Beverly It isn’t selfish to want to keep the money you work for.
What’s selfish is when you think other people should have to pay for things they don’t want because you want them.
English
@ronrule Why? People who don’t have kids in school still pay taxes. Home schooling is a choice.

@Moonlight_myths Maybe that’s her way of saying it’s time for you to move out on your own.

My mom got mad when I told her I would rather live on my own that keep paying her $600 a month in rent.
I'm 25 years old and have been paying $60 a week in rent to my parents for a while now. I recently landed a decent paying job and this morning, I received a message from my mom telling me that from now on, the rent would be $150 per week. I text her back, saying I would rather live elsewhere. I pay for my own food and I'm not willing to pay $150 per week just for a room to sleep in at my own mothers house. With that kind if money, I could rent a small apartment or even split the rent with a friend for less.

@kmbiamnozie My belief is always to ask myself “what would Jesus do? After all, you can’t claim to be Christian if you’re not striving to do as Christ did. Anything else is just lip service.

I am not merely a Catholic by affiliation, I nearly walked the path to the priesthood. Scripture, to me, has never been casual reading; it has been studied with the care of a sculptor refining form; patiently, attentively, reverently.
And so I say this with both conviction and humility:
Prayer is not performance. It is not spectacle. It is a sacred act, an intimate communion between the human spirit and the divine. A means not only to speak, but to interface with the heavens, the hosts of heaven themselves.
When we pray, we approach with humility. With thanksgiving. With love. Just as one brings offerings into the house of the Lord, not in arrogance, but in surrender.
Which is why moments of public prayer demand even greater care.
When figures such as Paula White stand before the world in prayer, the expectation is clear: to seek wisdom, not validation. To ask that leaders like Donald Trump be guided toward justice, compassion, peace, and discernment. To intercede for the poor, the vulnerable, and the preservation of life. That is what true supplication looks like.
But to elevate any political figure especially during the sacred solemnity of Holy Week to a comparison with the sinless Son of God is not devotion.
It is error.
And more than that, it borders on blasphemy.
Likewise, when Franklin Graham invokes the Book of Esther as justification for the destruction of a modern nation such as Iran, it reflects not divine insight, but a troubling misapplication of scripture. Context matters. Theology demands responsibility. Sacred texts are not instruments for political ends.
Faith was never meant to be weaponized.
It was meant to guide, to correct, to humble.
And if we are to invoke God in matters of leadership and war, then let it be done with trembling reverence, not confident distortion.
Because the danger is not in believing too deeply but in believing wrongly.
I am ashamed, this is our Holy Week for Gods sake.
God have mercy.

@texasrunnerDFW Yuk. Screams cheap cheap. Real wood or forget it. There are plenty of alternatives. And grey……..so tired of it. Move on.

@DonnaStanley789 @tolmanbrett Our townhomes with HOA sell within months. They have curb appeal, mown lawns and no cars in the street. Yep. That’s just awful, huh.?
English
@tolmanbrett you can't sell it...that's why you say don't buy one!
English
Get rid of HOAs. Don’t buy a home with an HOA. Sell your home if it’s got an HOA.
English
@tolmanbrett We have a great HOA. Not overly intrusive but takes care of the really annoying things like loud music at 2 in the morning and dogs that are always off leash. Those sort of things mostly. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
English
This old home needed a refresh
We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel
So proud of my team

My yellow cat and I argue all the time. It’s just what they do. They’re very vocal and many times get the last word.

What are they arguing about? 😅

@MatrixMysteries You seriously thought a philosophy degree was going to get you a job? 🙄
English
“I spent $250,000 on a philosophy degree and I can’t find ANY work.”
Years in class.
Six figures in debt.
ZERO payoff.
She didn’t fail the system — the system sold her a LIE.

@TukiFromKL Just stop it. Lay the blame where it belongs. Our government set the rules always.Whining is just time consuming. Use your time actually doing something to change it. Maybe quit spending so much energy on social media if you’re not happy.

🚨 Do you understand what this actually means..
Gen Z and millennials aren't burnt out because they're weak.. they did the math..
your dad bought a house at 24 on one salary.. a 40-hour week and a pension waiting at the end..
here's what changed..
in 1970 the median home cost 2x the average annual salary.. today it costs 6x.. and that's before the interest rate..
> Boomers graduated with little to no debt into an economy with employer pensions, cheap housing, and a job market that rewarded loyalty..
> Gen Z graduates with $30,000 in student debt into an economy that replaced pensions with 401ks where YOU bear all the risk.. replaced job security with "freelance opportunities".. and replaced affordable housing with a market that requires two incomes just to rent..
the work ethic didn't change.. the math changed..
> Boomers didn't build that economy.. they inherited it.. built by the Greatest Generation after the war, funded by government programs, subsidized housing, public universities, and infrastructure they didn't pay for..
> they rode the boom, extracted everything, gutted the pensions, made the houses unaffordable, defunded the universities..
and then told the next generation to work harder..

Gen Z and millennials are burnt out because older generations had much easier lives while working far less hard, per FORTUNE.
