Middle eastern grocery near me

I’ve seen people have this general conversation about Natlan and just general racism before but never really in relation to colorism and acceptance of some miniritoes but a rejection of others on a depper level. Even still as an Afro-Brazilian i’d been so happy back in 2022 when originally hearing about the West-Africa inspired influences in the regions soon to be. Problems began showing up though whenever I payed closer attention to the conversation of Natlan more.
Because whenever Natlan is discussed theirs this clear anti-blackness narrative that, every time someone mentions, not even West African cultural dominance but simply mentions influences (which wouldn’t even be inaccurate due to how heavily affected by African cultures South and even parts of meso-america are) theres this…aversion almost?
like even having meso/latino america tangentially related with African influences is somehow problematic or how people try to pass of responsibility and by proximity erase middle eastern representation by saying Sumeru had egypt so therefore that was THE afro representation. It just kind of comes across as a form of colorism. Where fine with “brown/tan cultures” but not “black” ones.

Hitting 40 any minute now, and had a mitral valve repair surgery 1.5 years ago. I feel great, but it seems as if I cannot consistently build up my endurance.
My legs get tired FAST!
It's worth mentioning that I trained for powerlifting and strongman for years until it became clear that it was (and is) a potentially fatal health hazard for my heart. My legs, back and core are still strong-ish despite having lost 25kg/55lbs over the past 2 years.
Cardio and especially the type required for enduro type races is a totally new thing for me. I mention enduro because that's what I would like to dip my toes into and maybe compete in the near future. Just getting to the finish line would be an accomplishment for me!
All that being said, my adventures in MTB are done with the blessing and encouragement of my cardiologist, who insists that it's a safe activity for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
PS. I ride a 2020 YT Capra.

So recently i’ve made a shift in my personality to the point where a good majority of people just completely put me off. Individuals nit pick and exaggerate trivial things, like mispronouncing a work or using the wrong phrase can cause excessive reactions and become the focus of how we connect. Rather than simply moving on and realising what was intended and continuing on like and adult who actually cares about the content of whats said. Its incredibly draining to be with such sarcastic and seemingly immature people unfortunately it seems to be the way the majority of people socialise and interact. While occasionally with a strong emphasis on that word: its fine but when its consistent thats when I give up on connecting with that person. For whatever reason i value maturity and being relatively serious, its ok to to let loose and be a goofy little sh*t but in moderation. I tend to really bond with people who are more low key and dont get all wrapped up in meaningless things generally speaking. Almost anyone who is obnoxious in their beliefs and tends to make judgements on trivial things is a humongous red flag to me Ive done a fair amount of introspection and feel as if i know myself, temperament, thought patterns etc to a good degree. I prefer to talk about things that actually add value maybe explore ideas on life spirit land etc, i tend to be relatively open and creative with things within reason. Don't get me wrong i do talk about stupid and silly things im human but thats not my main focus youll notice pretty quickly that i like things in moderation and tend to be laid back although i have emotions and mental health issues. Im figuring out what and who is even worth my time and thought, my “bubble” so whats directly in my control. Behaviour, responses, actions, choices and things of that nature its becoming my space to brush certain things off So im nearly 22 now ive noticed this stuff in the past but it didnt bother me as much, now i just see it as such a waste of emotion and time. It almost puts a barrier mentally to me wanting to spend time with such people, like a light that goes off mentally oh they carry themselves this way well no id rather be lonely genuinely.

I'm a 33F and I've noticed something when it comes to approaching new people: women, in general, appear to be more dismissive or uninterested compared to men when I approach them. Let me be clear: lots of women do respond in a friendly way, and I have fantastic female friends. I'm not suggesting this is the norm, but it's common enough for me to notice a pattern.
Some examples of what I'm experiencing: when engaging in conversation, some women don't ask questions in return. They start focusing on their phones, start talking to another person, don't reciprocate smiles, or even come across as annoyed. Dirty looks aren't uncommon either. This happens in social settings (hostels, parks), and not random encounters on the street. I don't go up to people if I see they're clearly busy, engaged in a conversation, or give off a "don't come near me" vibe.
I've been thinking about why this could be. I'd consider myself as a fairly confident and easygoing person. I like starting a conversation, and have been described as approachable. I am quite straightforward and tend to speak my mind (some people might think I'm a bit blunt), though I try to do this in a respectful way (especially when I barely know someone). I'm not sure if being straightforward really plays a part though, since the dismissive behavior often happens before a real conversation even takes place.
I'm not desperate for everyone to like me. If someone doesn't seem interested or is dismissive, I smile and move on. I understand that it doesn't necessarily reflect on me personally (as long as I'm being friendly). I'm genuinely curious why I might experience this, especially since I don't experience this as much when approaching men (I'm average looking).
Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

The force had a tilt trim issue. After troubleshooting, all signs pointed to the tilt trim motor. But impossible to find the right parts. So I sold it for 500 after already wasting 4-6 hours reading about the motor and trying to find parts.
New Suzuki outboard is only a 30 horse but it moves the boat 13mph which is plenty for very young kids. 5000 bucks.
New carpet and materials were around 400. Deck looked and felt surprisingly solid from all angles. So I didn’t bother replacing it.
New seating around $2200
I currently dry dock it for a few hundred bucks.
I posted on here a few weeks ago about a weld repair to three support brackets on one of the pontoons. Ended up getting the weld repairs for around 600. Hasn’t sunk yet lol
Fully insured it for about 15 bucks a month. No payments to be made on the boat. And the 30hp barely uses any gas.
Every used boat near me for 10k has been junk or wasn’t suitable for my needs. I also didn’t want a loan payment. And I don’t have a lot of free time to tinker around with a 2 stroke. I just wanted something that works.
Ty to the LA Rams for winning the Super Bowl that paid for this boat. Took a year, but we finally decided on what to do with the winnings.

This happened ages ago, when I was in college. There was a gorgeous Victorian house near campus that I always adored. I eventually learned that an acquaintance of mine lived there, was moving out and the new renters needed a roommate. I was beyond thrilled.
As I was moving in one of the girls who lived there called me to her room and said she had something hysterical to tell me. One of the girls who was moving out had an eating disorder and she only ate one brand and type of fat free cookie. And this horror show of a girl thought it was hilarious that she and her boyfriend would swipe a few cookies from each package up their (you know where).
I was clearly horrified and she said, “Shit, you aren’t going to be another one without a sense of humor are you?” Yup. Guess so.

The most difficult part of parenting, for me, has been patience and everything involved in feeding the kids. I am a former (rehabilitated, lol) chef, so I am capable in the kitchen. The problem is my children's list of what they'll eat gets smaller by the day. Where we stand now is cereal (usually w/o milk), granola bars, goldfish, fruit (mostly berries and clementines, they're picky about other fruits), french fries, yogurt, popcorn, rice cakes, peanut butter, rice (barely), broccoli, chicken (barely, must be unseasoned), steak(youngest only) and candy/junk food.
I have tried taking them to farms to show them where food is grown, how it's harvested, etc. We go grocery shopping regularly and I ask them what they'd like, usually with little input from them. I haven't done much to involve them in the preparation of the food, mostly because I feel like they are too young,(3 & 7) and it isn't safe.
This weekend I took them to two different restaurants and let them order from the kids menus. They ordered and ate almost none of the food. They had maybe two small bites and were done.
It's becoming a huge concern for me and a huge frustration due to the waste it's causing and the money that's being wasted.
Does anyone have any ideas that might spark a dietary change in my children?

The most well known Crisscross Technique is the most generally involved methodology that individuals utilize today looking for free gambling machines. It is obscure why it became known as the Crisscross Strategy. Conceivable in light of the fact that the player Zigs and Crosses to and fro through the club searching for a gambling club that somebody is simply halting there play after not winning any and best case scenario they have been losing on that equivalent machine for a few hours. One way or another, the Crisscross Technique has no logical proof to back up those cases. สล็อตโจ๊กเกอร์
​
As the Crisscross strategy goes, the player is searching for designs on the spaces. For instance, envision that bananas are a big stake space. The Crisscross strategy player goes through the gambling club searching for a space with the right arrangement of bananas on the opening reels. In the event that three bananas are on the payline and a third banana is one line off the payline, this is an illustration of the Crisscross hypothesis. In principle the opening reels are preparing to arrange and you could before long hit a tremendous big stake. Joker Slot
​
In the present times be that as it may, spaces currently use what is known as an irregular number generators or an (RNG). These arbitrary number generators are inward pc's which include the probabilities and afterward figure out what images to show for every one of the opening reels. Each time you put down your bet and pull the idea about a gambling machine an irregular number generator decides the places of the gaming machine's images on the reels. Joker Game
​
This tells us that all twists on a gaming machine is free and all alone of some other pulls from a gambling machine. The arbitrary number generator (RNG) makes every single twist irregular. Presently you see that for that reason that they call it arbitrary.
​
There is a pretty well known hypothesis that the club staff place the "loosest" gambling machines nearer to the entry and ways out of the club. Gambling machine card sharks going in the club see different speculators succeeding at these openings and conclude they need to play. With this hypothesis, openings players ought to constantly attempt the spaces close to the entry entryways and leave entryways of the club, these might be the loosest gambling machines on the club property.
​
One more rendition of this framework is that the club will place free openings in a high rush hour gridlock spot. A model would be, near the clerks, and the bathrooms and obviously close to the ATM machine, and near a gambling club gaming table. Perhaps in lieu of betting at the openings near the front entryway, you ought to play a machine where club traffic is exceptionally weighty.
​
This hypothesis can have a defect, the hypothesis that I am discussing is the "hit recurrence". The hit proportion is the level of gambling machine turns a gambling machine pays off as opposed to taking your cash. This is how things have been, one gaming machine could have a higher hit recurrence, yet another machine could have less hits (wins,payout), yet take care of more when these hits happen.
​
The club staff might put a space with a high hit recurrence rate close to an entry or leave entryway or some other high traffic region, similar to the bar or the ATM machine. That doesn't mean the machine is taking care of more than machines in a portion of different region of the gambling club. Actually, it very well may be the inverse. Club are not in business to simply offer free cash, they are continually concocting better approaches to get these kind of results
​
Try not to continuously hope to see the free openings close to the front entryway of the gambling club. Trust me when I say that the club staff members have a ton of experience with these stories. As far as I can tell, the club puts the gambling machines with the more modest recompense rates where space players might be bound to moor down and play.

Hey there Brisbane, never thought id get to this stage, but i guess here we are. I broke up with my girl three weeks ago and it really did rock me. I have been doing fine, scraping along, but surviving.
I drive Uber for a living and normally its a piece of cake, but the emotional state i have been in post breakup, its a burden. To be around multiple strangers in close vicinity isnt ideal when all i need is a week or two of solitude.
I unfortunately didnt have any savings when the split happened, so i have been barley keeping up with bills the last few weeks. Im posting this here as a reach out for a small helping hand.
I would love to have a week off to reset and reflect, but my bank is at zero, i have gotten to the point where i didnt drive this weekend, i was just too numb. All i need is enough for a weeks worth of groceries, my rent has been covered for the week.
If anyone would have a spare 50 or 70, it would be a big help for me. i dont really have any friends or family to reach out to
thankyou to whoever took the time to read this. ❤️

I (14F) wish my parents (48M & 46F) would divorce. I've always wanted this. Call me selfish and dumb all you want, but I hate when they're around each other. I know I should be grateful they're together still, but I'm not. All they do is fight, and they're really only together for my brother (almost 17) and I or just to have sex. All they do is argue and shout for no reason and it scares me. I've always hated loud yelling and/or shouting, and I think it might be because of them. I always get so paranoid around the two (especially my dad) and hate when they're near each other. If I could, and I've wanted to so many times, I'd probably move in with my grandma or my uncle, but since they both moved around an hour away from me I can't. Sometimes I wish my parents never met so I wouldn't exist to deal with their shit. I know there are people out there struggling more than me, but I just feel like I have no one I can open up to about this. I can't seek professional help without my parents knowing and I'm scared my friends will judge me. What options do I even have

Been playing with a friend since early launch. I haven't been getting anywhere near as many rares as him, maybe 1 of mine to 15 of his. He was getting legendary drops early, and I got my first at level 34. It got to the point where he would give me his rare drops so I could have better than blues. We've been the same level the whole time.
Anyone else experiencing this?

This was my note from about 6 months ago. My first and only attempt didnt work but i spent a week in the hospital after. My life since has become even worse than i couldve imagined. My physical diseases have taken everything. Others convinced me to stay for my toddler son whom i never get to see anyway. Others tried to convince me of the validity of disability/welfare and my application just went through, but i still dont rlly believe in the “fairness” of it all, especially for a middle aged man. I still think about trying to go to heaven every hour bc i just dont see the point here anymore. Havent for about a year now.

It’s a dark, stormy night. Having just finished up a dinner of pizza and some craft beer, I go to check my phone. No messages. I toss it onto the other side of the couch and settle in to watch my favorite horror movie. But it must be later than I thought, because at some point during the movie I doze off. When I wake up, something seems, different. Suddenly I hear what sounds like a door creaking open. Despite trying my hardest to not be a horror movie cliche, I get up to go investigate. To my surprise the basement door is open. For what seems like an eternity I stand there before ultimately deciding to close the door and go to bed. When I get into bed I get the childlike urge to pull the covers over my head to block out whatever is out there that wants to get me. All of a sudden I feel my phone vibrate. It vibrates again, almost insisting that I pick it up. I look at the screen. “I’m outside”. My heart races as I read the next message. “I’m coming in”. Then, a few quick bangs on the door nearly give me a heart attack. Summoning whatever courage I have left, I get out of bed and run to the door, flinging it open ready to attack. The silhouette in the doorway startles me until I hear a familiar voice say “hey dummy did you forget we’re hanging out tonight and watching horror movies”?

Hi all! Middle aged dad here with 2.5 years alcohol free.
Sorry for the long post. The other day I went out with a friend who lives in another city. 6 months earlier we had dinner and I told him that I hadn't been drinking for over a year. When I saw him again this past month he had planned a big night of drinking and I had to remind him that I wasn't drinking. He was very kind about it and we had a lovely evening.
But, I keep thinking about what happened. On the one hand, it is a huge relief. I find it embarrassing to tell people I don't drink anymore. The fact that my friend didn't remember means it's not such a big deal to other people, and maybe I should just relax a little bit about it.
On the other hand, I feel really let down. Not drinking has changed my life, and it makes me feel alone that a close friend didn't really know about this core part of my life.
I haven't done any 12 step meetings because I haven't felt like I needed them. I am not tempted to drink, and I feel like I am managing my mental/spiritual well-being as well as I ever have. But, I wish I had close friends who I could see and talk to who don't drink. Is that a valid reason to go to a meeting? Do people make friends that way? Any other ideas?

I've come on to play this morning to notice that my main interceptor ship is completely gone and nowhere to be found. I've landed on a planet and tried to call it in but it doesnt show in my ship list. I've flown to my freighter and then realised I now have a damaged C Class Hauler (my interceptor was A Class) that I didnt have when i last played. This isn't the first time I have noticed random ships appearing in my freighter that are mine (thats happened twice in the past week) but its the first time I've noticed one of my ships missing. Any idea what gives?
I have lost all the stuff in my Interceptor and all the tech I had installed which is a major bummer! The last thing i did when i got off yesterday was claim an interceptor after fixing it up, but this didnt put me anywhere near the max ship limit so don't know how that could have affected my ship?

My cat (6F) and I are very close. She follows me around a lot and we spend a lot of time together. She really trusts me. She's so good that she lets me cut her nails. Honestly I love her to bits and I know she loves me. Or loved me.
The vet mentioned that she has ear wax, and then told me to clean her ears. So I just did and now she's so upset with me. She ran away from me under the bed and won't come near me.
I knelt down to see her under the bed and gave her lots of treats, offered her a brush because she always asks me for brushes. I also offered her toy. And I spoke to her and apologised and tried to give her a little chin scratch -which she semi reluctantly accepted. But she won't come out and she won't let me get too close to her.
She's never been so upset with me before. And I'm worried she won't love me anymore. I'm actually in tears. I love her so much and I don't want out relationship to change.
