Syria indeed! I haven’t been home since 2010 though.

No need to excuse your Arabic haha, I don’t speak a lick of Hebrew (yet?), and my own Arabic is probably at the proficiency level of an 8 year old.

I live in the UK and am very passionate about learning languages. I’m working on my 5th - Chinese.

Ah, sorry I hadn't appreciated you were after split tunnelling... You can do this with Tailscale for services where you're connecting to a fixed IP/FQDN, which I think rules out torrenting/P2P unfortunately.

The only way I've seen to pass a specific app's traffic through Tailscale appears to be an Android exclusive feature.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me!

You can absolutely use Tailscale; your host in the unrestricted country needs to be set up as an exit node (CLI argument in Linux, or a menu option in the system tray in Windows.)

Then, your local machine needs to be set up to use that remote machine as its exit node. (tailscale up --exit-node=remote-tailnet-ip-here)

Levantine Arabic speaker here. 👋🏽

Yep; same issue here. Does my absolute nut in. If you use a VPN or a cellular connection on a brand new Reddit account, it’s already doomed.

Reddit stinks.

Freezing! We (England) seem to have skipped autumn entirely.

My trip to the USA in 2016 was one of the most harrowing, dehumanising, and humiliating experiences of my life. And I'm talking specifically about the actual journey, i.e. after the already lengthy, painful process of acquiring a visa.

They treated me like a terrorist. I had to be escorted by 2 armed big dudes around the airport, and they flipped their shit when I reached for my phone to tell my brother it'd be a while before I can come out (just so he wouldn't worry.) They went through my bag and were handling everything SUPER gently, asking if it was "safe" for them to touch it.

They then confiscated my passport, walked off, and literally never returned it to me. I spent hours asking various members of airport staff what to do because I was screwed. Thankfully, eventually one of them found it in a drawer and gave it back to me.

I was a minor BTW. I have had no desire to repeat the experience since.

Good god, I am so tired of hearing about this cringey edge lord.

FWIW I am trans and I 100% agree with you. Been thinking about making an account on another instance, just not sure which yet.

Eh... I know this is a meme sub, but this undermines any arguments to be made about real problems with healthcare systems by just... not being accurate.

If you need stitches in the UK, that's an A&E (ER for my North American friends) sort of ordeal, and yeah, you won't be seen immediately because the system is badly managed and overwhelmed. You'll have to wait several hours (unless you're bleeding out/at risk of death, in which case you'll be seen quickly), not 43 months ffs.

That said, anything that's non-urgent can take a few months. The only exceptions to this are 1) mental health, where you're looking at several months for the waitlist almost irrespective of severity, and 2) gender-affirming care, where you won't be seen for well in excess of 5 years, which at this rate & in this political climate (TERF island), is likely to outlast the NHS gender clinics themselves. Private is still an option for both of these branches of healthcare, but it's expensive for sure.

Yep. Also calling it the“Israel-Hamas war” is propaganda. Makes it sound like the only people dying in Palestine are Hamas soldiers, which is obviously nowhere near the truth.

Centrists are literally just anti-opinion and spineless.

Free Palestine.

Ah yes, everybody has that one drawer to keep pies in.
