Born and raised Muslim, but I think I’m somewhere between that and agnostic now? As a kid I was raised to be extremely religious, then leaned heavily towards hard atheism as a teenager/young adult, but nowadays I just don’t find myself thinking about religion or the presence of a higher being. I don’t necessarily believe that it doesn’t exist, but I don’t necessarily believe it does either, if that makes sense.

It gets a little more complicated since my family and community is Arab, and our particular form of Arabic culture is very closely intertwined with the religion, it oftentimes feels like you can’t have one without the other. It gets hard to pick and choose which parts of Islam I want to participate in (especially considering there’s a lot in Islam that I don’t agree with) and still consider myself a “good” Arab. Hell, at that point can I really even call myself a Muslim? Who knows. But in my eyes religiousness is a spectrum, and I move up and down that spectrum a lot, and I think I’m okay with that.

I use YouTube all the time and was legitimately thinking of subscribing to premium. Guess I’m sticking to ReVanced lol

oh jeez, didn’t realize it’s been that long!

I’ve been out of the custom ROM scene for a while, is Cyanogenmod still a thing? that shit was like magic on my Galaxy S4. I remember it getting really slow like a few months into having it only because of how damn bloated the OS was before flashing CM onto there.

Exactly!!! How are people just giving him a pass all the sudden? Have we forgotten who’s behind these apps and their track record with dealing with user data?
