What does "kareem" mean?

 

[Baxteen]

Both 'Ramadan Kareem' and 'Ramadan Mubarak' are common expressions used during the month of Ramadan. Both mean “have a blessed or generous Ramadan”.

Thank you.

To people that apply for contracts? or you trying to say something else?

Those dumb youngins

:-D
I got a raise.
The boss likes how I go about my work.

Hi all. What do we have to say for ourselves today?

New job is tough, that's all. They have systems for everything.
I come home tired every day. I have to work in the office until month 1 is over (some silly requirement but whatever), the commute is a fucking drag and costing me a mint in fuel.
Also, my former employer, the people there, the realization that I am gone, hit them on the 4th of March and they began to pester me for info.
That's when I heard shit went sideways in a spectacular fashion there.

Generally no, its like this- the networks like you, or rather, the cellular networks have no problem giving young people uber expensive phones on contract. It seems they are profiling on age, and also, making gross assumptions on shit. Last year I needed a phone on contract because, well, I have a company and I needed to develop an app on a more modern iPhone than the one I have. They refused to give me the thing on contract, not even for a low-end iPhone so I decided to sell some shit and bought the fucking thing cash. Fuck them!

Either bill them for info or block them.

Precisely this. And charge what your spare time is worth, which, for me, would be around 3 to 5 times my salary rate divided by hours (or part thereof)

Madonna calls out seated concertgoer - then realises they're in a wheelchair

The singer is currently midway through her 80-date tour and suffered an unfortunate moment at one of this week's gigs.

What an idiot. Even if the person wasn't in a wheelchair who gives her the right to tell anyone to stand up?

I told them I jump for cash... that put a stop to it... They won't pay!

Deleted my reddit account, couldn't take the doom scrolling anymore.

Next up deleting my browser bookmarks.

Time to live a little and stop staring at my phone.

Think of all the additional sex you'll be having!

Looking up from my phone is the first step...

Hermanus is full of potential partners, just need to get out of my slumber...

Don't.

Haven't been on a date in more than a decade (excluding taking my 90s ex to lunch a few times in 2022).

Done.

Fuck all this shit.

Good riddance.

May have lost a client I had since 2017 that contributes 25% to my income. Feck. Will see... at the same time deleting a server will have a certain amount of pleasure...
