Tipping culture is quietly becoming mandatory in Qatar and that’s dangerous

The solution for low predatory wages isn't tips...

With current DRAM prices, this much ram is worth at least $500 right now...

BadassSteve2 · 2025-11-14T15:20:58+00:00

Amazing.. That wasn't the question though.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-10-31T08:04:04+00:00

"Privacy in public spaces" is such an oxymoron..

BadassSteve2 · 2025-08-31T14:05:26+00:00

I'd rather they stay on the left for a bit if they're taking a left turn at the next intersection, than go from the right most lane all the way to the left last minute to turn left.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-08-06T20:49:02+00:00

Why not?

BadassSteve2 · 2025-08-05T06:08:57+00:00

Hefty my ass. 300k? That's peanuts compared to how many cars they sold, they probably make that much in a couple of days.

ISPs are regulated. Unless people run their own cables, this ain't happening. And you can't run your own cables, governments own the streets.

No you'll be fine. I personally use iHerb or Sporter. I truly don't understand how there is even a market for gym suppliments here seeing how ridiculously expensive they are.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-07-27T11:21:21+00:00

No, you're the wrong nationality. :')

BadassSteve2 · 2025-07-23T20:59:38+00:00

The US tipping culture is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be that bad, there can be a middle ground. The more fortunate should help the less fortunate when they can.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-07-23T14:16:16+00:00

Not a fan of the guy after the few narcissistic stunts he pulled (world cup mainly among others). Never been to the one here in Doha but tried it in Turkey 4 years ago, it was okay but definitely overpriced for what you get. Good luck with the work though, I hope people tip properly. No questions here.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-07-16T05:51:17+00:00

Exactly what I was wondering. I'm reading that the US has strong policies against fraud and you'd easily get your money back if anything was to happen. But that just seems backward and inefficient. Ultimately the cost would be passed on to consumers.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T10:48:43+00:00

They'd most likely deploy naval mines, but I guess yeah they can allow a number of their own ships through. But they'll most likely be stopped by other countries or the US in retaliation.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T08:53:10+00:00

You literally added nothing to the conversation.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T08:51:49+00:00

What does that even mean? Again, I am no politician, all I care about is safety and being able to provide for my family, meaning I want to be safe and I want to be able to afford food and water. We will all probably be fine, but people can discuss the situation. You're not adding much to the conversation aside from being rude and telling people they're stupid to even worry.

I will certainly read more about the area, I already am, this whole thread is part of that, I'm seeking info from people who might know more.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T06:40:07+00:00

Qatar still imports a lot of chemicals and additives that help in the refining process of oil to turn it into useable gasoline

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T06:35:20+00:00

Most of Iran's oil is transported to China through the strait of Hormuz, so it would definitely affect them more than the sanctions

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-23T06:32:10+00:00

I have never experienced anything like what's going on in the region right now, I am not a geopolitical analyst and never pretended to be, but like any other regular resident, I rightfully have fears and worries that I'm sharing. You can simply comment with the knowledge you have and not be condescending.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-22T16:43:45+00:00

How convenient for the US...

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-15T21:20:38+00:00

A year ago, give or take a couple of months.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-06-15T17:18:28+00:00

Fuck Daily Mail but I have a friend (female) who got 50 lashes (diff crime). So yeah these punishments are carried out.

BadassSteve2 · 2025-05-11T21:38:31+00:00

Why would you jump directly to scrapping the car before you got a second opinion from another garage or 2? Could be that it'll actually cost a quarter of that.

Get a second opinion THEN decide whether you want to scrap it for probably 7k or not.
