Jakarta – Anies Baswedan Ph.D Calon Gubernur DKI Jakarta nomor urut tiga turut hadir pada acara pengajian bulanan Front Pembela Islam (FPI) di Markaz Syariah FPI Petamburan, Ahad pagi 1/1/2017.
Dalam kesempatan ini Anies Baswedan mengklarifikasi berbagai tuduhan dan fitnah yang menimpa dirinya bahwa ia dibilang pengikut Syi’ah, Wahabi dan Liberal.
Anies membuka penjelasannya dengan mengatakan bahwa di Universitas Al Azhar Mesir dulunya tidak ada mahasiswa perempuan, tetapi kemudian orang Indonesialah yang membuka kesempatan itu. Karena itu ia menyatakan Indonesia adalah tempat yang menjadi sumber inspirasi umat Islam dunia.
Anies: “Indonesia adalah tempat sumber inspirasi umat Islam dunia dan sumber terbaru itu adalah Aksi Bela Islam pada 2 Desember 2016 atau Aksi 212.”
Anies menyatakan bahwa pada Aksi Super Damai 212 walau jutaan umat Islam hadir dalam keadaan marah namun aksi tersebut terbukti berjalan dengan sangat damai.
Pernyataan Anies ini memang benar adanya. Dan kemarahan jutaan umat Islam sehingga datang berkumpul pada Aksi 212 di Monas dan sekitarnya itu bukanlah tanpa sebab. Tetapi umat Islam marah karena Kitab Sucinya Al-Qur’an khususnya Surat Al Maidah ayat 51 dilecehkan oleh Zhong Wan Xie alias Ahoax.
“Dunia terkejut pada Aksi 212 kok bisa 7,8 juta orang berkumpul dan marah, iya mereka semua dalam keadaan marah, tapi tidak meninggalkan kekerasan, apalagi meninggalkan sampah.”
“Di indonesia 7,8 juta orang hadir dalam Aksi yang berujung Sholat Jum’at dan dzikir bersama. Dunia sudah dibikin terkaget-kaget oleh indonesia”, demikian kata Anies.
“Sayapun hari ini kaget, FPI gambarannya beda dengan yang diberitakan media, bahkan disini saya lihat materi belajarnya berat betul. Membahas materi yang seharusnya untuk Mahasiswa S-2.”
“Karena Materi yang diberikan oleh Dr. Abdul Chair tadi 12 halaman catatan kakinya saja sampai mencapai 6 halaman, jadi tentu isi papernya itu sangat kuat dan sangat sulit untuk dibantah.”
Memang sebelum Anies bicara, Dr. Abdul Chair Ramadhan dari MUI dan Sekjen FUI KH. Muhammad Al Khaththath memaparkan materi tentang Syi’ah dan lain-lain kepada para hadirin secara lengkap dan mendetail. Kemudian tiba saatnya Anies menjawab berbagai fitnahan yang menerpa dirinya.
“Saya diisukan Syi’ah, saya terus terang tidak tahu rujukannya dimana, kalau dibilang liberal saya tau rujukan tuduhan mereka dari mana, tapi disebut Syi’ah saya betul-betul tidak tau. Kecuali mungkin karena saya sebagai Menteri Pen

It also seems like Clinton (with help from the tech boom) experienced a period of prosperity after allowing more liberal (pun intended) trading of derivatives.
Please correct me if I'm wrong and I would love better examples from farther back in history or world politics. I was tempted to include Hong Kong's relative freedom to mainland China but I'm afraid I know nothing about that.
As a sometimes pilot I am finding the changes for bursters and the max cost increase liberating (pun intended). BUT, only when fighting NC. As an VS player I find that the changes have been beneficial for air in general, but only if there are no strikers on the ground.
I know there is going to be a TR player to immediately defends this weapon, or even suggests it is less then useful. The problem is that your enemies (taking a leap and speaking for NC as well) see this weapon constantly spammed. While air has been given fresh breath on 2/3 of the continent, when entering TR space we must still set up to counter Strikers, and this counter provides 5 seconds (assuming it worked) to retreat. A counter is something that leads to a positive position when used in regards to it's target. Rather this is simply a survival tool, you doesn't even give even footing, you must leave the area.
This has led me to adjust my playstyle to avoid flying against TR in general. I am surprised that Strikers haven't been discussed more on this forum unless the TR population are purposely downvoting.
Changes to fix this could possibly be a range nerf, or a damage nerf. Maybe make the damage similar to how lancers have to be used, where they are fair at best solo, but when multiples are fielded they shine.
If you disagree please start a discussion as I would love to be convinced otherwise.
Update & afterthoughts from this post
At the risk of being creamed by some liberal (pun intended 110%) I thought I'd go all out with the honesty and share an update and a couple afterthoughts from my past week.
First and foremost, user LightningReptar, bravo for the best wishes of enjoying wild casual sex. As it turns out, having a "friend with benefits" as well as "casual dating & recreational sleepovers" have been wrongly underrated, in my life at least. Boo on me for not appreciating this much earlier.
Second highlight/Afterthought to other single women out there, MMF threesomes; WOW, just wow. I'm not talking about the ridiculous stuff that you see on porn where two guys are just having at it with the one girl who you know would much rather be setting her nipples on fire while running down a crowded street naked. I'm talking about two fellas selflessly taking their time with you to ensure that you are being well served. In the past this was something that I would never have even entertained the thought of doing. Now that I'm older, and fully aware of my own sexuality, passion, and intimate wants, it works. It works well. And on a somewhat off-topic thought; although I have always been considered by others to be attractive, I've found that in my mid-thirties, I now have a desirability that my twenty year old self could never stand close to.
Last but certainly not least, user yourmindondrugs, excellent advice with "let your boytoy know why he gets to properly fuck you". It appears that men, especially younger men, enjoy putting much more effort into a situation where he gets to step in and get the job done right the first time. It isn't even about being a rebound lover, or a bounce back. It's more like a "I apologize that you were led to believing that that was the way all men are. Here, let me show you a true representation of what it should be..... Oh and let me know if you need me to do it all over again in case I missed something..... You know what? I'll do it again anyway since I saw the way your toes curled and your back arched as I was behind there".
To sum it all up, I'm pretty past the whole I want to have sex on my cheating husband's bed deal. I could really give two shits about it or him to be honest. Granted it was a really difficult and shitty thing to go through and have done to me or anyone for that matter. Though why should I struggle from someone else's failure and inadequacy. As it t

On the recommendation this post on The Will To Change, I revisited bell hooks and was reminded of a thought I often have, when the discussion of "new models" of masculinity or maleness are brought up. Hooks herself describes Patriarchy in a systemic sense, reminding us that our culture itself reinforces violence and domination as a facet of "rightness" in patriarchal heirarchy. Leftist critiques of capitalism also looks to a culture of domination as a piece of capitalism, promoting resource scarcity, selfishness and internalized hierarchal behavior as facets of continuing omnipresent exploitation.
Which brings me to the question: Can Men's Liberation still have sports?
Part of being "nontraditional" these days seems to include performative disgust for sports. My facebook is a dividing line between the different friends groups I have, their politics, and places I've lived and-- the entirety of the Urban Liberal contingent hate sports, vocally; every year, without fail, they bring up "Sportsball" contempt when the Super Bowl is on. Meanwhile, the centrists just cheer for their team.
Exceptions seem to be limited to things like gymnastics or Ice skating, for its artistic and expressive quality while overlooking the presence of scores and rankings. Moreover, these are "gendered" sports, sports coded with queer culture or female individual excellence promoting.
Are sports inherently patriarchal, by promoting hierarchies, conquest of competition, winners and losers? Is a non-patriarchal model of sports and competition focused more on individual excellence and overcoming one's own physical limits?
To put in another context, I look at Esports: Street Fighter or Tekken are "fighting games" with one-on-one, winner over loser dynamics. The culture of that community, called the FGC, includes things like trash talk and resolving issues by winning a "First-to-10"-- beating the opponent ten times, to prove they are better.
Meanwhile, the Speedrunning community chases Personal Bests and World Records but their competition are also their teachers and comrades; they seem incredibly supportive. They share exploits widely. They compete but not to dominate, just to excel.
So, in a feminist, non-Patriarchal world does Hockey no longer have fighting, Football no longer exist and, say, track and field reign supreme (figuratively)?
I’m a progressive twenty-something year old Canadian. I favour a liberated Palestine, mostly due the drastic amount of unnecessary support Israel has received from the West to perpetuate more violence.
However, the mentality I’ve seen amongst my peers online is that every Israeli citizen - or “colonizer”, as I’ve seen people take to calling them on social media - must leave their homes. Am I missing something? This is ironic given the outrage at Palestine families being forced to leave their homes.
I’ve seen very young Israelis panic online about also losing their homes, only to get ratioed by their peers for their fears of being evicted. Young people born within that time frame have no control over where they were born, even the thirty-somes might not be in a financial position to relocate if they believe the government is corrupt.
Further, this seems to ignore the years of anti-semitism that has prompted Jewish communities to relocate. People act like the Israeli-Jewish community can just uproot their lives and they’d be welcome anywhere. Maybe that might be true today, but historically has not been the case.
Look at Greece, the circumstances surrounding WW2. Did the UK not begin sending Jewish people to Israel, funding Israel to keep the Jewish communities away from the UK? With that in mind, it seems the UK has the most to reconcile here.
The oppression of Palestine at the hands of the Israeli government has lasted decades, primarily funded by European countries as to keep Jewish communities out of Europe.
Based on my research (which I won’t pretend was extremely thorough, but certainly involved looking at more than just news sources with a political lean and Instagram infographics), most Jewish people came into Palestine with nothing, and after years of being evicted and alienated by other countries.
The atrocious actions taken by the Israeli government and military are primarily supported by European countries, the United States, and Canada. These horrific crimes do not reflect every Israel citizen.
No fearful child born into a country with decades of corrupt policies should be labelled a terrorist by activists online for not wanting to relocate. Especially not by the people who have some sense of the issue based on infographics, and who live in the countries that encourage those corrupt actions.
One of the posts I’ve most frequently seen people share online is one that praises Palestine for taking in Jewish communities when the rest

I’m full of joy and excitement today because I finally received perhaps the most amazing self gift ever; a first edition signed copy of God is not great. To me this is as close as I will ever get to the great Hitch.
Thank you for reading my post.
I have all the sex I want without fear or shame. I feel no obligation to partake in sex acts I don't want, or don't interest me. I don't feel pressure to change who I am or what I look like to excite someone sexually. I don't have to view sex as something I do for someone else, or endure for someone else. I don't do "maintenance" sex. I don't have to accept that sometimes my pleasure just isn't coming, and I should just get it over with. I don't have to perform sex for someone else. I don't use porn as a blueprint for what my sex life should look like.
My sex life is for me, on my terms. I am sexually liberated.
Like most of us here, I went through a sexually experimental phase. I jumped into BDSM. I tried polyamory. I pursued people hoping they would be receptive of me. And looking back, I realize it was due to insecurity on my part. I saw myself as a misfit compared to other women, and felt a need to compensate in order to be more "interesting" to other partners. If I couldn't be the hottest woman, I could at least be the adventurous one.
I did have partners, but I wasn't happy. That pressure to keep performing was still there. At no point could I turn it off and not disappoint my partners. Their vision of me was already set.
I thought this was sexually liberating at first, but it turned into sexual restrictions. I fear a lot of women today fell into the same trap, but instead of the "thou shalt nots" of the past we now have "thou musts."
There are two kinds of freedom: freedom to and freedom from. We have the freedom now to do any sexual act that we please, but do we have freedom from the expectations? Certainly not.
True sexual liberation can't exist until the "vanilla shaming" goes away and conversations about sex stop becoming one-up contests about who can endure the most torture. Sex positivity has a lot of flaws, but this is among the worst.
hello all.
after many failed attempts at requesting the /r/opnsense subreddit, I made a new request ~3 weeks ago around the time of the new netgate drama.
a few minutes ago, reddit admins granted me the subreddit and I'd like to put it to good use.
can opnsense maintainers (franco etc) please slide into my DM's and once you're verified I'll add you to the moderation team.
as for thinking long term - who knows? we can just setup a single thread directing people towards this subreddit or we can move people towards the new one. whichever people think is better i guess?
either way, it's a small victory but a victory nonetheless :)
