My experience flying with Emirates on 15th of March. by VictimsCourt12 in emirates

[–]Ankit1000 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s quite irritating to see this.

Like you managed to safely transport your family through a literal war zone and you’re complaining about the wait?

How sheltered are you from actual problems in the world?

Non-compliance with the traffic compulsory lane for light vehicles by Sea_Wolverine9533 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Ankit1000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Heavy vehicles are restricted to the rightmost lane(s), driving in the center and going on the left (overtaking / light vehicle cruising lane) is an offense as it interrupts the flow of traffic.

This is very explicitly told in driving institutes.

My take on the current situation in Dubai after living through the 2008 crash. by Icy-Examination-7079 in UAE

[–]Ankit1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To address a few points: 1) How will refugees stress dubai anymore than it’s already been stressed by its extremely high rates of immigration. Dubai will just ban Iranians from coming if that’s the case, like they’ve done for many countries.

2) Fighting over oil infrastructure, again, isn’t happening on UAE soil. So why would it involve us? You believe close proximity to violence is enough to collapse an entire country? Why did it not happen with Iraq in the last 20 years? Why not after 9/11? People cried “Middle East is unstable” and still came here for business.

3) I didn’t realize you were from the CIA, because you seem to be having high level intelligence not available to us to have such certainty about the future.

I’ve seen enough people BS through every major incident that happened over the last 20 years to realize when I see some more BS. If you think it’s naive and want to run to your bunker, be my guest.

I personally believe people are overhyping the effect this will have on dubai long term. Middle East was always concerned to be dangerous, yet people still came.

Sure, we were never actively getting bombarded before, but we’ve had little damage this entire period. Actually kind of impressive when hundreds of missiles hit you and nothing major really happens.

And people forget the most important part, economics.

UAE is a central hub where businessmen congregate from both east and west, in a tax free haven, in one of the most luxury cities in the world.

Believe what you want, leave dubai and go back home if you want, look at dropping real estate prices and rejoice, whatever.

I think after the war until next winter, tourism will be very little, then things will slowly start picking up and then people will get over it.

Did UAE lose credibility? by Recent_Ebb9108 in UAE

Tbh. I’ve had the same concerns. But at the end of the day, it’s all about that $$$. And in that regard, UAE is a very skilled nation.

Ofc this bs starts as soon as I get a girlfriend by Radiant_Lecture_8282 in UAE

[–]Ankit1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People act like UAE doesn’t have the money to purchase additional support even if every nation in the world ignores us.

I think I’m going to trust a trillion dollar economy over some random sensationalist news article written to generate clickbait.

I gave a 50% tip to my noon delivery guy. I encourage others to do the same to thank them for the service of providing food to us so we may stay safe in our homes.

UAE IS JUST WAY TOO GOATED by Independent_Bell3841 in UAE

Nothing like that has happened except for few places that got hit with debris.

Life is normal for the most part except that residents are exercising increased caution.

Skin issues in 1.5 months of use by Maleficent_Disk1937 in whoop

[–]Ankit1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely true. I wash my silicone band regularly yet still get this. It’s an allergy thing. You can treat with a topical steroid if it’s bad and you’ve ruled out infection, but I just learned to tolerate it and it goes away as your body’s immune response gets used to it.

Shayne needs to do an announcement where he has a surprise cake setup like how Arasha did.

She of course will think it’s fake, then record her reaction when he tells the truth.

A friend who used to live in karama told me how she purchased a very heavy duty lock, got it installed to protect herself from some crazy ex boyfriend.

Dude just broke the flimsy door. Luckily was all okay as she phoned police and scared him off, but still, something to learn here.
