whyre Ā people wishing each other merry chrismas ;-; isnt chrismas on like idk. like the last day of december. the 31st? right ;-;Ā
imma look it upĀ
wtf šĀ
um. bro howd i not know that tho
anyways
whats like
it says
š«¤ Um...it's Nadia, right? Honey, it helps to know where things are. The important things, at least... I'm no Christian & never have been, but even I know where Nazareth is. If memory serves, you're in the Middle East someplace...you probably know where Israel is in relation to your own country.
Two pics: Nazareth as it is today, & circa 1842:
@slowdecline48
I actually didnāt know that. where Israel was. idk. everytime I see or hear smth new I look it up nd learn more but other than that ofc no one learns abt that stuff or at least I never have. for the longest time I thought dubai was a country š¤·āāļø I sound dumb but I try. probably a lot of people knew where nazareth was but I didnāt even know what that was. I donāt know a lot of cities that I havenāt been to. I sound dumb but I kinda am. we switch to geography in another half term :ā) but we never learn anything proper in geography. Idk. weāll see.Ā
š¤
Remember that once your geography class starts, you can always ask for help. This presumes your school has decent teachers in it...if not, forget the previous advice & either look up geography vids on YouT*be (avoid all flat-earth clips! The people who produce them are crazy), or you can ask me instead. I'm no geography expert but I do have a basic familiarity with the globe & some of what's on it.
@slowdecline48
ofcourse. bajahshshgsgsc fr XD flat earthers are crazy šµāš« itās funny when they try to prove it tho and they realize theyāre wrong. I would ask u tho, you are really smart š¤ in like so many different aspects as well š
š©· thank you <3
@iloveyouxx Thanks, hon...I developed a reading habit when I was little, & never got out of it until the Internet was invented & I discovered social media. š
Once in a while I kinda feel sorry for flat-earthers... They're so easy to poke fun at. It's like stalking cows in a pasture with a scoped high-powered rifle. š Check all the memes out there!...like:
@slowdecline48Ā
thankyou for trying to help me š I just looked at all the cities/towns/villages in the uae (the country Iām in) nd there were only about six I recognized (including the one Iām in) and knew about and I was thinking rlly hard abt it tooĀ
also I never knew there were so many countries in the Middle East. and apparently Israel is a country? I didnāt know that. and saudi arabia Iām even more shocked abt that
im learning šĀ
thank you for helping me thoĀ
š Yes, Israel is a country! A very small & highly contested one for a few reasons šš but yeah...it is a real nation. I've been there. It's a very interesting place. And a tiny one. You could fit Israel inside almost any one of the states in the US & you would have plenty of space left over. (Nebraska could easily contain four Israels. Yes, really)
As far as the UAE goes, I've never been there & would go for a few days if I was up to taking a flight. (My ears don't deal with flying well) Am curious about what life is really like in most Arab countries. All we usually know over here is what the news media tells us, which sucks. The only time it tells us anything about the Middle East is when there's a war going on, or terrorism strikes, or an uprising, etc. There's gotta be more to life out there than the bad stuff.
@slowdecline48 @iloveyouxx (veryy nice to see you both talking about the middle east <3)Ā
@unassumingEyes
haha ā„ļø itās fun but soo confusing š also eyes when did u travel :0 why didnāt I know abt that šĀ
@iloveyouxx i had another flight yesterday šš
Also btw- i used to think dubai was a country too xDĀ
@unassumingEyes
what š where are u going I thought u moved the first time did u travel for smth? š are u okay ): was it u that was scared of flying or someone else I donāt remember xD weather itās in this context or in general I hope ur okay tho ā¤ļøĀ
no way xD it wasnāt just me!! I felt so stupid for that xD like if dubais a country whatād I think the uae was- a continent? šĀ
@iloveyouxx i thought uae was next to dubai
Yes im the one scared of flights xd i mean. Theres turbulence everytime i have the right to be scared xDĀ
Okayokay first i moved from kuwait to x country (secrecy š¤) then like two weeks ago i visited kuwait and now saturday i came back to x country xD
@unassumingEyes
XDD whenād u realize šĀ
no sorry š Iām very forgetful :> and yeah yeah now I remember because like the first time u were flying there was a lot of turbulence so youāve been scared since u were young? I remember now :>Ā
BAJAHHABAHABAH secrecy š¤ XDD wait so now do u live in x country? ur traveling a lot š icl i love flying š itās so exciting and fun but I rarely ever go on flights and youāre traveling like 5 times in one month and youāre scared of flying š i feel bad. howās life now that u moved?? u moved right? i donāt remember but i think u said smth abt ur friends in ur forum but I donāt remember wait lemme check in another tab xD
ā¦.
ur cupsiversary passed š why didnāt I know that bro. why didnāt I heart any of the posts when I read them š Ā did I read them cs now I donāt rememberĀ
I never noticed u joined cups on Christmas. I wouldāve pointed it out but I didnāt know when christmas was celebrated until 5 days ago ;-;Ā
but that doesnāt matter now. eyesyesseeyeyss š I wouldāve posted for u. I literally forgotā¦ everything ;-; I forgot everything about cups I jst log in every once in a while I completely forgot abt everyone and how I found this and the fact that my cupsiversary passed too š I feel so *** oh my god.
ik u probably donāt care but why do I feel so bad ;-;
ughhahshhsbshwjsnwywjsjs šĀ
i cant
i need
to get off for a while
btw Iām good like Iām fine this isnāt abt me I jst feel so bad nd weird bro I forgot so much stuff and now that itās all coming back I just šĀ
Iāll brb <33
haha I canāt I jst realized I use this š emoji way too much now
*resisting not putting another one*
I canāt that sentence needs a š emojiĀ
xDD sendhelp.Ā
/nsrs
@iloveyouxx And here I thought š meant you cried a lot in real life...
@slowdecline48
wait what. oh. slow š um. idk how to explain it.Ā
but yeah people use ā šā for different expressions now and it kind of just somehow started to make senseĀ
@iloveyouxx i realized when sis told me xDĀ
You like flights? Lets switch xDĀ
Moving was ew frfr not liking it but im alive xDĀ
You use the crying alot and i use xD alot. But every few months i change whatever im using too much xD
I noticed that my cups anniversary (merging the words is tooo confusing) was on christmas just like...a few days ago. I dont remember any cups christmas celebrations when i joined š¤
Also like dw about it because *insert convincing reason here*
No acc i kinda forgot mostly too i just had a random moment of remembrance and made a post about it (i dont remember what the post said even wow)
*runs out of things to say*Ā
@slowdecline48
hey š Iām learningg š šš
oh yeah for sure ): abt israel I canāt lie I donāt exactly know everything but I know my family is really against the country š Ā like we stopped buying and getting things from places and restaurants because apparently they support it or something idk.Ā
just to make it clear I kind of prefer not knowing absolutely everything about whatās been going on whenever itās something similar to this related to conflict between countries etc
and another thing my family is kind ofā¦unfair. and if someone told them they were from the country it doesnāt matter how amazing or nice that person is because to them everyone from there is bad
Itās like that to my family for other places as well like when something awful happened to me at school my family was like where are they from do you know? theyre either indian or (some other place I donāt remember) like bro. the person weāre talking abt what they did is absolutely horrible and to assume where theyāre from based off of something like this like
my family is really really really reallyy racist toward IndiansĀ
and multiple other places but how they talk and what they think of indians like theyāre one person is awful
anyways
sorrryyy I got carried away yappingĀ
woah :0 israel is that small? you live in florida right? I think. i want to travel to more places when I grow up because I feel like I definitely havenāt seen enoughĀ
aww, I havenāt had to get on a plane too many times in my life but Iāve experienced that before but it wasnāt that bad, I have no idea what it could be like for you ):Ā
to be honest yeah. now that I think about it Iāve never seen a good event being talked about on news for anywhere. ofcourse thereās specific types of news like weather news but yk what Iām talking abt. (I donāt watch or read news often correct me if Iām wrong)Ā
okay, youāve definitely heard it before but if you do ever travel to the uae I think u should go to dubai š to be fair itās overpopulated like no doubt at all about that, I think there are both good and bad things to everything every place you could live in wtv but the good and bad things in dubai are different. Itās definitely anā¦experience š š¤ that I think u shld check out tho š¤
I was yapping too much abt dubai but fr I think u shld experience what itās like living there
if youāre talking about arab countries ik dubai and oman by plane itās like an hour away but I think u shld 100000000% visit Oman at some point of ur life omg. okay wait
ill tell u the differenceĀ
got too long nd too much to talk abt, but to summarize as much as I can,Ā
got too long again xD but now that I think abt it nd Iāve yapped an insane amount to myself I think for u u shld go to oman (Iām at 1% I need to go before this gets deleted š) but yeah you should definitely visit oman some point I think youād love it ā¤ļø ofc only if you think you can handle the flight okay Iām scared itās starting to glitch take care <3Ā
@iloveyouxx I hear that. In addition, Cups mods usually discourage talk about politics here because it often turns into a futile argument.* Without going into the backstory & all the details & particulars (there are a ton of 'em--the conflict is very complex--& the region itself has a lonnnngg history of being fought over), the situation is this:
In a nutshell, two peoples are claiming the same land. The Israelis have their case; the Palestinians haveĀ their case. Both sides want the same territory, more or less. That's it.
Other aspects of the conflict:
- Both sides have their violent fanatics which we hear about; both sides have their peacemakers who aren't nearly as well known. Yes, there are Palestinians who want peace with the Israelis...unfortunately they don't have much influence in their society. Within Israel there are also chauvinists who want all the Arabs out of Israel proper & the Palestinian territories.
- There's a religious dimension to the conflict. The majority of Israelis are ethnically Jewish & %ages of them follow Judaism to varying degrees. The Palestinians are mostly Muslim with a tiny Christian minority. There are Christian minorities within Israeli society, too. Jews & Muslims don't always get along, for theological & historical reasons. That's been true since the early 7th century.
- The Palestinians' saga is especially tragic because for decades, they have been used like pieces on a gameboard by other countries that were hostile to Israel. Though various Middle Eastern governments make much noise about the whole thing, they've never really helped the Palestinians improve their lot. Throughout the conflict, they've been pawns of rival powers...the current one is, of course, Iran. Critics of Israel claim it functions similarly as a tool of American influence & power, but the difference is Israel has a functioning (though often fractious) government. The US government cannot push Israel's too far in any preferred direction for that reason.
- A related point: many Middle Easterners resent Western influence (some call it interference) in their region &/or their countries, & consider the Israeli-Palestinian conflict a result of such meddling. To an extent their position is understandable. Islamic civilization reached its greatest power in/around the 12th century & gradually weakened thereafter. In the 19th to early 20th centuries Great Britain regularly intervened in the Middle East & in central & Southeast Asia; for decades after WW2, the dominant players were the United States & the USSR (Soviet Russia)...what was known as the Cold War. This had a marked effect on Israel & on the Arab countries surrounding it.
I tried to give you a short objective summary &Ā still wound up posting a text wall...go figure. š The whole mess does not lend itself to one-paragraph descriptions. So...who is wrong? Who is right?
That depends on who you ask.
*Political discussion isn't allowed in the forums because the mods & staff don't want the usual arguments & flame wars going on in Cups, yet they also set up the Religion & Spirituality forum. š¤Ø š Someone, please...make it make sense.
@slowdecline48 (agree with the last point. Either avoid all subjects of debate or none. Why are they being *picky*)
@slowdecline48Ā
(Also the issue with "western meddling" in middle east is actually still pretty dominant, even ignoring the israel-palestine issue. Speaking from experience, majority people frown upon major political decisions as being influenced or caused by the westerns. Also why am i here bye)Ā
@unassumingEyes "why am I still here"? Why not? š
But seriously, it's in these moments where the Internet shines. This is why I talk to people outside the US: to hear perspectives I'd never get exposed to otherwise.
It works the other way, too...what American news & entertainment media tell you is not necessarily what the rest of us are thinking.
@slowdecline48 ive tried to tell that to the people ive talked to hear, but they seem to think that all americans have one, awful brain cell xD i can only imagine what people think of my nation from what they see online. š«£Ā
GUYSĀ
I had to do the thing self evaluation thing again idkĀ
nd I rlly read the questions nd stuff
nd thought abt it rlly well
ndĀ
I went down
to
96% depressed :0
yes 3.8% is a lotttt like Iāve seen ppl reacting to it nd theyāre like what thatās like nothing nd then they start talking abt how too many ppl self diagnose they thought it wouldāve been way higher
I have to go byeyeye
oh btw I was diagnosed with depression Iām jst being stupid
cs bro I mean
i was diagnosed but whatre the chances Iām part of like 5% like I feel bad
i feel like
i dont have the right to have a diagnoses š??
anyways I had more time but not anymore byeyeyey<3
@iloveyouxx If you're consistently showing symptoms--any kind of symptom, for some sort of condition--then you are as entitled to an examination & diagnosis as anybody. In order to fix our problems, first we must know exactly what those problems are.
omg. guys tysm ur rlly helping a lot like rn Iām abt to go out so i kind of just- went over everything- with my eyes- but I didnāt rlly read properly i jst picked up a few things for now
eyes u can always join convo itās more fun :0 nd i love to hear what u have to say always ā¤ļø tbh i love this i love learning abt things nd i love learning abt ppl nd hearing opinions nd i love my friends nd i love u guys nd i love it when u join convos nd add ur opinion cs it was definitely definiteleyeyeye needed ā¤ļø /srs even if itās in brackets or tiny text as long as ur comfy š¤·āāļø <3Ā
i agree w ur last point too slow. I mean people have to disagree. we have different beliefs and different cultures and weāre justā¦different. I understand not wanting arguments to start but i kind of hate it that things like this get censored sometimes. sometimes weāre just talking abt a topic that interests us and it includes a little bit of opinion but also respect if someone has other ones and it still gets censored. most stuff that get censored kinda bother me like okay swear words okay things related to wanting to hurt urself or others. but thereās sm stupid things that get censored nd then ppl start talking abt that nd they mess up the whole sight nd now itās even worse nd they kinda fixed it *** but Iām still mad. Idk. oop i have to go šĀ
bye guys tysm rlly Iām learning sm š thank u soul thank u eyes oh also I canāt find our other convo here anywhere š wtv I have to go byee <33Ā

Awww... That's precious. š You're sweet, Nadia.
(Can't believe I'm posting replies like that...I'm going soft in my old age) š
@slowdecline48
šššĀ
aww noo š nd hey ur still young š” being old is a mindset/j/j but fr I consider old to be likeā¦80. maybe 70 š¤·āāļø Ā
also, ur rlly wise. nd u have a lot of knowledge, not old, experienced, more years more experiences and learning more<3Ā
@iloveyouxx agreed. Nadias attracting all the wise people here (and im feeding off of their wisdom š)
āĀ Iāve been yapping too much lately šĀ
but i jst wanted to say i feel like things are actually kind of starting to get better a little bit š things arenāt- good. always. but better š
here r sum updates on meā
thatās what the post in the other tab here started with before a majorĀ amount of yap ;-;
oh also. Iām taking a break from the whole male population now. if u see me talking to a male slap me
(unless itās these 2 @mytwistedsoul @slowdecline48 they count as males but theyāre nice so they also donāt count š)
@iloveyouxx š Thanks, I think...
You hear that, Twisty? We're the only men on the entire planet who are worth Nadia's time. š
@slowdecline48
huhh š I only tagged u guys cs ur pretty much the only guy friends I have on here
not the entire planet š I feel bad u seem offendedĀ
I wasnāt being completely literal š Iām still talking to my brother and some guy friends im jst taking a break fromā¦a specific type of guys. I guess.Ā
is everything okay :ā) I donāt get it šĀ
š Relax, hon...I'm not offended & even if I was, it's not your problem, is it? You are only responsible for your actions, not mine or anyone else's. This is your journal; you can pretty much say what you want in here, right?... If I was offended then that would be my problem, not yours.
Tbh I figured your original comments were because of male students in the school you go to, or maybe because of your father. (From what I've read here so far, he doesn't sound like a nice guy) ...You must be running into quite a few š«š³ļøs lately.
@slowdecline48 We're just awesome š
@iloveyouxx Aww thank you š I apologize for such a late replyĀ
