I can't tell if you're being tongue and cheek... Is there something like that or is it incompatible?

Ok that's good. That's what I'll be doing. Seems obvious, but really it's not when you're in the moment and you're a coward like me.

I was told:

The text of the oldest Quran manuscripts and the Quran used today are very similar. Islamic sources and scientific studies emphasize that the text of the Quran has been preserved and uncorrupted for centuries. This is one of the basic principles of the Islamic faith.

Scientific studies have also shown that the early manuscripts of the Quran and the current editions largely overlap. When the oldest copies, such as the Sana'a Manuscripts, Birmingham Manuscripts and Topkapı Mushaf, are examined, it has been observed that the textual differences are minimal. These differences are usually due to differences in spelling, minor grammatical details or punctuation marks; however, this does not affect the meaning or content of the Quran.

Scientists and historians state that there is more than 99% agreement between the oldest manuscripts and the current Quran. This shows that the text of the Quran has been meticulously preserved for centuries and has survived to the present day without being corrupted.

In summary, the basic text of the Quran has remained almost completely the same, both from the perspective of Islamic belief and scientific study.

I think it's too crazy and like the other user said, worthy of abandoning

Wow, I guess you'll be laughing all the way through February when Trump gets inaugurated. Thanks for ending democracy.

Should I deal with bed bugs or move out? (hexbear.net)
 

This is kind of a random place to ask, but fuck it.

Staying in La Plata Argentina to learn Spanish. Found a good deal on an AirBNB with solid reviews. The woman who owns it has been a PITA the entire time. I showed up and there were some dirty dishes. She told me that was impossible bc her relatives cleaned. Showed her pictures and she was still in denial lol.

Last night I got no sleep because I was itching. Found little black and brown spots on sheets, according to google it is probably bed bug casings or w/e. I just know the owner of the place is going to deny it and be annoying. AirBNB is notorious for bad customer service, so idk if I would get any refund. Especially since I'm a week in and the stay is until mid January.

I am low on funds... What do y'all think. Should I try and fight the bed bugs? And if you've ever dealt with bed bugs, give me the rundown... I don't have a drier but I was gonna wash everything and dry it outside, then spray RAID...

Or should I use my credit card 😬 on another place I can't afford... I don't get paid until January, so I don't want to do that. But I don't wanna see these bugs spread like the plague and end up in my shit.

I've read two articles now, I'm still pretty confused. Concerning because I was going to attend a school for a bit there. I see there's a potential coup and some right wing crazies getting riled up. And that the us is against it... But that's about it.

Can someone help me out here?

I know Israel is a right wing government run by fascists. I sort of avoided the drama around the Rashida thing, but I just gotta know. Can someone give me the rundown?

I literally spent the last five or ten minutes looking it up online, but there is an astounding amount of bad sources being cited or people that are straight up pro Israel being misleading...

This isn't a bit, I'm just ridiculously uninformed on the issue. I'm sure it was brought up on the podcast, but I haven't listened in a while.

Edit: thanks y'all, I learned a lot. I knew what I was seeing was crap
