His name is Magdy Yacoub. He's a well known heart surgeon here and he built a hospital to help people with heart problems for free with modern technology that wouldn't be found in most places in Egypt.

For exemple Switzerland is often confused with Sweden (which is not the worst to be confused with ❤️).

In India, public affection is treated like a moral crime. You’ll almost never see parents kissing or hugging, PDA is taboo, and holding hands can get you stared at or even harassed.
Yet somehow, we’re the most populous country on Earth.
Sex is everywhere in practice, but almost nonexistent in conversation. We pretend it doesn’t exist, don’t educate people properly about it, shame young people for curiosity, and then act shocked at the consequences.
We’re extremely conservative in public and extremely… productive in private.

Great Blue Herons are one of my favorites from the US. I see them occasionally while hiking or fishing and I consider it good luck.

If you do not, what animal would you nominate?
beavers are cool and all, but have you seen a moose?
I guess we don’t really eat beavers, though. Except their tails.

Like its entire foreign policy towards your country is essentially based on opposing, insulting, attacking, stealing from, or exploiting your country, or anything else distasteful toward your country/people, or government. Personally, I think the governments of the United States, Israel, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Syria are the top contenders. To be clear, I am referring to the governments, not the people.

Two women are chatting. One laments her husband giving her flowers.
"My husband came home with a bouquet of flowers. Now I'll have to spend the whole night with my legs spread with my legs wide open..."
The other woman is puzzled.
"What's the matter, don't you have a vase?"

In September 2020, a 19-year-old Dalit (lowest caste) woman from a village near Hathras in Uttar Pradesh was brutally assaulted by four men from a dominant upper caste (Thakur/Rajput). She was left with a crushed spine and tongue, couldn't walk, and later died in a Delhi hospital. Before dying she named her attackers.
Police delayed filing a rape case. At first, they claimed no rape happened.
Evidence was mishandled or destroyed. Basic forensic steps were skipped or botched.
The dominant upper caste people took out rallies in the village in support of the rapists.
As the case started to get picked up by media, Police barricaded the entire area: journalists and politicians were not allowed to enter and were detained at the border en masse.
After she died, police forcibly cremated her body at night, against the family's wishes, without their religious rites, and while locking the family inside their house.
Pic related: the police burning the body at night.

My opinion: it’s complicated.
I think non-westerners might generally consider it, but westerners typically don’t. I am fine with either.

I did it for my own peace of mind and privacy because other platforms felt too toxic and judgmental. How about you guys? What was your 'last straw' that made you decide to leave everything else behind?"

I just found out every language writes rooster sounds differently. In Spain, for example, it’s “kikirikí”. Please write how you say it in your language and mention the language you are using

Srinivasa Ramanujan is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential mathematicians of all time, a self-taught genius from India who made profound contributions to number theory, analysis, and infinite series, despite having little formal training and a short life. His intuitive grasp of complex mathematics produced thousands of theorems and formulas that continue to shape modern math, physics, and engineering, making him a legendary figure in the field.
