LOL John never disappoints. But, given that he did an episode on Bolsonaro in 2018 I'd love to see him do one on how Bolsonaro is messing up the pandemic in Brazil. The guy is coughing on his own supporters, firing his health ministers and wants the military to step in. There's actually a great video that lays out Bolsonaros handling of the pandemic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXPZGmYerJ4lZY

@AmishRiot How dare you.

[@danielmorgan1108]

@AmishRiot I don’t know how but sometimes it seems like there’s something more than luck there cause some teams really are consistently better. You just gotta check it out for yourself tho.

[@zothOne]

@AmishRiot Why would anyone care about any other sport? The way you get into Marble Competitions is by looking at the logos, names and story backgrounds, picking one or two teams that you like, preferably one who is top tier and a low tier one, and give them your unconditional support. I got into it a bit before the league started, so I picked Jawbreakers and Hazers, mostly because they have the coolest names, the Jawbreakers were a mess and did not qualify for the league, which left me with the Hazers, and they were just the most mediocre of them all, 8/16 constantly, it was infuriating, but after a race in which they ended up in 16/16, they have now won a gold and a silver in the last two matches. One of which Foggy the athlete who was running, managed to win the final going from last place to first in the last section, ending the mediocrity streak. Is a Marble League really dumb in the end? Yes, but every sport is, Football or Baseball is only important because people give it some importance and get emotionally attached to some meaningless thing, no matter how well played a match is, it will not directly affect anyone who does not care for it. This is just a convenient, very high paced fun sport, with a vibrant community on Reddit, Discord and especially on KZbin, reading the user comments and memes on these platforms after a match is always fun. I like the idea of sports, but TBH I won't watch E-Sports or real Sports because they take way too long, the games last always more than an hour to justify selling seats. But, nice juicy 10 minute videos with different teams, some to love, some to hate, honestly seems like the best sport to get into, even if it is factually really dumb.

[@user-kd4my1fe1u]

lagerbaer HOW TO BECOME A MUSLIM All praises be to Allah, the Lord of the Universe. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad His last messenger. The objective of this handout is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people are facing difficulties on the basis of their mistaken belief that entering into the Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or sheikhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act of accepting Islam, should, as a condition have a certificate issued by the authorities as an evidence to that effect. We wish to clarify that the whole matter is very easy and that none of the above mentioned conditions or obligations are required. For Allah; the Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj and Umrah. If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion ordained by Allah (SWT) for all human beings, then, one should pronounce that "Shahada" (The testimony of faith) without further delay. The Holy Qur'an is explicit in this regard as Allah (SWT) has stated. "Truly, the Religion on the sight of Allah is Islam." (3:19) In another verse of the Holy Qur'an, Allah (SWT) has stated: "And whosoever desires a religion other that Islam, never will it accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who are lost." (3:85) In addition, Islam is the only Religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah (SWT) has stated in the Holy Qur'an; "And to thee. We have sent the Book in truth, (This Qur'an) confirming the scripture that came before it, and a witness over it…" (5:48) Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), said: "Islam is based on five pillars: testifying that there is no God worthy to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah and His servant; performing the prayer; paying the Zakat (obligatory charity); fasting the month of Ramadan; and perfuming Hajj." The Shahada can be declared as follows: ''ASH-HADU ANLAA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH WA ASH HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WA RASUULUH." The English translation is: "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness the Muhammad is His servant and messenger.'' However, it would not be sufficient for anyone to utter only this testimony orally either in private or in public, but rather, one should believe in it by heart with a firm conviction with the teachings of Islam in all his life he will find himself a new born person, (or new man). This will move him to strive more and more to improve his character and draw nearer to perfection. The light of the living faith will fill his heart until be becomes the embodiment of that faith. What would be next after declaring the testimony of faith (Shahada) and then becoming a Muslim? He should know the real concept underlying this testimony which means the Oneness of Allah and accept Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as the last of the Prophet, and meet its requirements. He must behave accordingly applying this true faith to every thing he speaks or does. What do the words of "Shahada" signify. The significant point which every Muslim must know very well is the truth that there is no God (ditty) to be worshipped other than Allah, (Glory be Him). He is the only true God, Who Alone deserves to be worshipped, since He is the Giver of life and Sustainer and Nourisher of mankind and all creation with His unlimited bounties. Man must worship Allah, Who Alone is worthy of worship. The second part of the "Sahada" i. e. "We ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh" means that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is the servant and chosen messenger of Allah. No one must have two opinions about this matter. In fact, the Muslim has to obey the commands of the Prophet (PBUH), to believe him in what he has said, to follow his teachings, to avoid what he has forbidden, and to worship Allah alone according to the message revealed to him. What is the meaning of worship? It simply means rendering sincere service; showing reverence for Allah. In a deeper shade of meaning, it implies total submission and complete obedience to Allah's Commandments both in utterances and actions of man whether explicit or implicit and whether private or public. Worship falls into two categories: Visible (manifest or outward) Invisible (concealed or inward) Visible worship includes acts such as uttering the two parts of the "Shahada" performing prayers, giving Zakat (Obligatory charity), observing fast in the month of Ramadan, performing Hajj, recitation of the Holy Qur'an, supplication, adoring Allah by praising Him, purifying our bodies before prayers, etc. This type of worship is associated with movement of the parts of human body, [actions]. Invisible worship is to believe in Allah, in the Day of Judgment, in the Hereafter, in the Angels, in the Books of Allah, in the Divine Decree of destiny (that good and bad are determined by Allah alone. This type of worship does not involve movements of parts of the body but it surely has a bearing on one's heart which subsequently affects his way of life. (Beliefs). It should be borne in mind that worship not dedicated to Allah alone, will be rejected as one form of polytheism or shirk, which amount to apostasy from the Islamic point of view. The next step for a devotee (newly reverted to Islam) is to purify himself by taking a bath (total ablution). He should then resolve to comply with all the principles and rules of Islam in their entirety. He disowns all forms of polytheism and false beliefs. He should reject evil and be righteous. Such rejection of evil and being righteous is one of the requisites of the motto of Islam that is, Lailaha Illal Laah. Allah has stated in the Holy Qur'an: "… whoever disbelieves in false deities and believes in Allah, hath grasped the most trustworthy Handhold, that will never break…" (2:256) we have to consider that when we declare from our heart that "there is no god (ditty) worthy to be worshipped but Allah." It implies on our part of love, devotion, faith and obedience to the rules of Islamic legislation which are legally binding on all Muslims. It is requirement of "there is no god worty to be worshipped but Allah," to love for the sake of Allah and to reject for the sake of Allah. This is the firmest anchor of belief which materializes the meaning of "AL-WALA and "AL-BARA". It means that a Muslim should love and be loyal to his Muslim brothers. He should, as a practice, dissociate himself completely from practices of the unbelievers and refuse to be influenced by them, both in worldly and religious matters. We conclude with a humble prayer to Allah that He may cleanse the hearts and souls of those who are genuine seekers of truth and may He bless the community of believers. Ameen.

All of this struggle and is students paid $94 dollars for a test that was originally four hours long and on paper in actual facilities, but was instead ~45 minutes on our own devices and internet and considerably worse than we could have ever imagined. College Board is fronting as a nonprofit it making millions of dollars a year capitalizing on hardworking students, a lot of who are from lower income areas because these already will omit them from college courses which cost more. College Board has effectively and harmfully monopolized our education system and this year we really saw the effects and reach that this company has.
