Hey , wanna go to Detroit on Thanksgiving ? Imagine how many nos they got . <| sep |> The benefit of banning them is the removal of social stigma from Muslim women who don ' t want to wear them but are forced to by their family and community . Slavechains are banned in the United States for the same reason . <| sep |> That wasn ' t a stone ' s jacket . <| sep |> I feel the same about Asmodai ! Super chill stream to fall asleep to <| sep |> You couldn ' t have possibly gotten 5 . 2 k a month from public stipends . They are capped at around the minimal wage . There had to be external factors private stipends in play . <| sep |> I ' m not from the states and the culture of our homeland is deeply ingrained into my parents , so we never celebrated Thanksgiving . We never did anything on Thanksgiving , I ' d just watch football with my dad or by myself . We moved to the states when I was little and I grew up in the private school system . Every November , we learned about Thanksgiving and so forth . I would hear all my friends talk about what they were doing for Thanksgiving and what they were going to eat made me really want to celebrate Thanksgiving with my parents . I didn ' t say anything to my friends knowing that I had nothing to share . So I asked my parents why we don ' t celebrate Thanksgiving and they told me about how we celebrate the Thanksgiving of our homeland . So I just nodded my head and just went along . I never said a word . I understood , but I was disappointed . I ' ve been lucky enough to meet great people that have shown me so much love throughout my journey in life . Some of these great people I love so much that I refer to them as family . These people loved me so much that they invited me to their Thanksgiving and spend time with their families . The first time I was invited , I cried . When I moved to the states , it was hard to make friends and I felt very lonely . I didn ' t think I ' d ever make the connections I would eventually make . Over the years , I ' ve been lucky enough attend numerous Thanksgivings with other families . I ' ve really been blessed that all these people have been put into my life . I guess what I ' m saying is that I ' m just thankful . Thankful for being here . Thankful for all the wonderful people in my life , including you beautiful otters . Thankful for everything , good or bad , because it ' s all led to where I am today . Hope everyone is having a fantastic Thanksgiving day . GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE
