Why is it that many many muslims fast but don't pray?

As the title says, why is this the case? I could argue that fasting is harder, myself included and many friends and others are muslim in that they use it as a compass in how to live life but don't strictly follow it. Is this common among your circles?

The way islam is observed in my circles is pretty much everything but praying and hajj are only done by those who are actually religious. Im very curious if this is the case for others?

Thanks

Has anyone taken 50mg for a few months for a rough patch and come off?

Long story short, I had a series of very difficult events including job breakdown, relationship breakdown, health scares and others that gave me an acute anxiety crisis and mild depression. Many of the underlying reasons for this have been resolved thankfully, and with CBT and therapy I'm uncovering a lot of my behavioral aspects that influenced the crisis as well. Sertraline really helped speed up this process and allow me to become more active, open and engaging with life again, and I'm very very very thankful for it. However, at this point (12 weeks in) I would like to taper off as the situational part has been addressed and I need to do the work myself.

Does anyone have experience similar to any of this, where they took 50mg for a short period/rough patch and came off successfully?

Would really appreciate your input!!

Job 1 vs Job 2, which would take and why?

I would be very keen to hear folks opinions on which job they would prefer and why. Both Senior SWE.

Job 1: £120k, 9:30-17:00, decent benefits (but nothing crazy), generally stable, no layoffs historically, UK based, interesting work, limited scale (scale up company), infrastructure, collaborative environment

Job 2: £180k, 9:30-19:00 with work bleeding over to after hours or weekends due to company structure and projects etc, top of markets benefits, volatile (big corp), US based, interesting work, huge scale, infrastructure, non collaborative environment (individuals working towards personal goals), history of layoffs
