Nah you gotta do what's best for you two, I'm just trying to get a read of where people are. I don't plan on ever owning a house, so my concern's more with getting my paycheck garnished.
When European, at first Christian and then secular colonial powers run rampant over your culture and people for 100+ years, and demonize your local majority religion as barbaric for almost as long, practicing that religion becomes an act of anti-colonial resistance in and of itself. A way of rejecting outsiders' attempts to define "correct" beliefs and morality on their own terms.
Then there's also the element of practicality. At least in Palestine and Lebanon, a lot of the secular leftist anti-colonial movements have been hollowed out, smothered and/or discredited over the past several decades, leaving more religious groups like Hamas and Hezb Allah as really the only resistance-capable game in town.
Also also, there's a social element to it. Class differences can sometimes feel abstract, and religion, like race or narionality, offers a way to cut through that abstraction. A clear way of differentiating colonized in-group from colonizer out-group.
I'm back because liberal twitterati have been annoying me lately and I need to kvetch about it

Critical support to Tennessean used car salesmen with brains so fried by Qanon they're stumbling backwards into opposing Bill Gates geo-engineering bullshit
ヤドン, or Yadon, is the Japanese name for Slopoke. It's a song praising the many virtues of Yadon. How you got there is a mystery.
It's a retail snack shop selling nori, tea and fish flakes, founded in the 27th year of the Meiji era, or 1894. The guy's saying, "really, it's so delicious it's crazy! Crazy!"
It's amazing the hoops some people will jump through to simulataneously agree NATO has done decades worth of heinous shit and also that it's 1000% necessary and worth defending. It is 2003, forever.
I never watched the show but also never got the appeal. Anytime I saw my mom watching it all I could think was it was like one of those 80s movies about a nerdy 14 year old becoming a doctor

PSA: this thread is a cooldown space for everyone who got very mad and nude in the How to Blow Up a Pipline thread. Please come here and reconcile in clowning on these once-beloved games from my childhood
And remember! Killing the last queen of a sentient eusocial species that had been subjected to a galactic genocide and subsequent military expermients is presented as morally equivalent to letting her live.
I don't think I even need to mention the genophage storyline
It's that asari planet you go to to recruit the lizard assassin guy, the one that's basically space Monte Carlo.
Suddenly flashing back to that one dialogue where a human woman is desperately trying to get her mixed human/asari daughter out of a warzone and the galactic beuracrat she's speaking to initially won't do anything until the woman gives an emotional Sorkin speech that changes the beuracrat's mind.
