I think my junk food quota has doubled in 2020

It's very convenient that we can just get food delivered by using an app, but is anyone else having little flashbacks to the people in the WALL-E movie? I feel kind of like that's what we're doing

Has anyone here participated in the year long remote year program? My company is fully remote in the US and is in general supportive of me going but concerned about local and international tax liability. Remote year doesn’t share tax advice and our HR team is small. Curious to hear from people at companies who have done it before and if there were any issues from a tax or payroll perspective. Trying to get the formal approval from my company before officially signing up, advice welcome!

Does anyone else have issues knowing when to stop working or managing their work-life balance? I get emails and requests at all hours and I always respond but I'm wondering if it is time to set up some boundaries and start ignoring requests after a certain point at night and on the weekends?

What holiday party did you get?
Anyone living close to an office, got a holiday party with food and drinks, and the venue started open for them until around midnight. Our remote workers got a one hour party w a DJ and trivia that let you win gift cards. Yeah it was nice to win a gift card but I found it lame in comparison to hanging out with my team in real life.

Can someone explain what a carve out is?

*TW - Controversial rant *

PSA for anyone here who is struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, or any other mental health concern: Seek professional help today. Do not feel ashamed, and do not listen to your friends, family, community members who may tell you to just rely on duas and to stop acting crazy.

Duas alone and the feedback you get from others will NOT help you until you take the initiative to help yourself. Allah says this Himself in Surah al Rad (11).

Don't have many Muslim friends, and I'm not the most social person out there unfortunately. Anyone have tips on how to meet more Muslim female friends? In the Chicagoland area btw.

So the Saudi Crown Prince pretty much is in bed with Israel....

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?
