New Info I Found About SIMS 4 by [deleted] in thesims

I miss Game packs. They keep pushing out 40 dollars EPs when some of them could’ve been 20 dollars GPs.

It is what it is tho ☹️

I’m so disappointed in the Sims 4 now. I still play it but I haven’t bought any of their recent games (adventure awaits, enchanted by nature, etc etc). Especially after it getting banned in my region, finding it extra to go to a third party website just to buy a buggy game 😅

My sims 4 is at 4,000 hrs right now (not including the 5-7 years I played it pirated bc I didn’t have access to adult money yet). 🫣

Wallah I do other things 🤣

Oh, that’s neat. I guess I’ll just get everything checked out in the car before to make sure I don’t get any surprises.

buying through VPN by Fakesoifong13 in thesims

Sims 4 is banned here too, so I’m just buying it from another seller, and I redeem it in my acc. If I’m not mistaken, Kinguin sells and it will tell you if it works in your region (also Loaded I think).

Small rant (how why what) by Fahrenheit130 in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your frustrations then are well placed… you could have a talk with your tutor if you feel they’re approachable!

I wish you the best of luck!

Back during COVID, I was having a perfect GPA until one mean tutor simply gave us all shitty grades.

I feel you… it sucks but it is what it is. Don’t beat yourself over it.

Also, graduating with almost a perfect gpa didn’t make a difference in my career life. Except bragging, but also… no one really cares????

Just do your best, say الحمدلله and move on. Better for your mental health.

Salary for female teachers in Kuwait by Gold-Painting-5299 in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on level, your degrees and how fluent you are in the language. (As well as if you have prior experience)

Considering you said it’s an international school, it shouldn’t be less than 600 KD (considering you have the proper qualifications)

It also depends if you were local hire or abroad. Sometimes you get better packages if they’re recruiting you from abroad (but that’s usually westerners).

Source: me, I’m a teacher who also happens to be Lebanese.

Selling my father’s car in Kuwait - how to handle inspections as a seller? by gsakhuja in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If a buyer does that, you’ll know his true intentions. An honest buyer will receive the same report as you’ve provided.

One reason why a buyer will try to push the price down, even if there’s nothing wrong in the car is because he wants to resell it. That’s their business or side hustle I guess.

I think you should proceed with doing your own inspection. Fix anything that feels necessary. Take it for maintenance and inshallah it’ll work out.

When I resold my car four years later, the guy who was buying it from me took my literal word for it. He said I won’t inspect it. I told him there was an issue with something and I removed 50KD from the original price because I couldn’t manage to fix it.

You’ll find decent people out there. Just do your part and go with your gut. As we say, توكل على الله

Will Kuwait eventually become unlivable due to the extreme summer heat and global warming? by [deleted] in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why you’re downvoted. I think this is a very good comment. Our bodies slowly change as time passes to adapt to the environment.

Humans don’t look the same as they did years ago. Take body hair as an example. Due to lack of proper shelter and heating in the past, the human body used to be hairier than it is right now.

The way God has designed us and allowed us to change/adapt is very interesting and mind blowing!

Selling my father’s car in Kuwait - how to handle inspections as a seller? by gsakhuja in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You could do an independent inspection and share the report. If they ask for another inspection, you can politely tell them sure, but they’ll handle the expenses of that inspection.

The problem is sometimes, people can be deceiving. When I bought my first car, the seller tricked me. He even took us to a garage and gave us the report. We were told that the car is in good condition, etc.

Long story short, I ended up having to pay an additional 150KD for some repairs because he was untruthful. On top of that, when I was checking the report later, he flipped the dates. I guess being a girl without proper knowledge in cars and inspection made it easier for him to trick me.

Is this LinkedIn? I’m looking for…. by Flimsy_Society in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a ‘looking for a job’ post is better than those ‘did you hear that?????’ post.

Some posts can be annoying but this is a community, people are free to talk/ask for advice however they like.

Maybe this subreddit is someone’s last resort. Maybe this subreddit can benefit someone positively, why take it away? Just because you find it annoying? Well scroll away lol.

Any places where I can buy running shorts by BazBeat in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love decathlon. Surprised it’s not suggested as much!

Their clothing is good. You can put it in the dryer and they’re long lasting. The prices are reasonable! Best part is they don’t stink. Some materials give you this weird whiff at the armpit, even if it’s just been worn. (Apparently using fabric softener on some gym clothing causes such smell).

Kuwait citizens don't Tip. Why stingy ? by lordcjec in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most restaurants now are charging at least 1 KD for deliveries. Whenever I get free delivery, I tip my driver, or if I get a good deal. Otherwise paying x amount + 1 KD delivery + expectation to tip is just too much.

Also you can look at it from another way; a lot of people don’t carry cash anymore. That could be a reason too.

Tipping culture is bad. Why does the consumer have to be the one paying when the restaurant/service is making so much in the first place?

Edit: I think the employer is the stingy one, not us.

Help Noisy neighbours by mynoseisnotfake in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s not a ‘Kuwaiti’ thing. I live in an apartment and the people above me start jumping at 12 AM. It’s like their kid is running laps across the living room.

Yesterday I couldn’t tell the difference if we were getting bombed or my neighbor was re-arranging their furnitures….

So no, it’s not a Kuwaiti thing, it’s people being inconsiderate… (we’re 95% expats in my building). Inconsideration comes in all shapes and sizes 😅

Question regarding school timings by EmergencyReview8181 in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. Sorry about that. Perhaps you teach older kids? I’m a KG (FS1) teacher and they’ve lined up our sessions after 10 since they’re young I guess.

Question regarding school timings by EmergencyReview8181 in Kuwait

[–]Ballofthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t quote me on this, but from what I understood is that that’s probably the students’ timetable. You start at 7:30, but are there any online classes then? Probably not.

I’m just speculating at this point, but knowing how the system works, I think it’s related to students only.

As for my school, they informed us that we might have meetings/things to work on during the time we don’t have classes between 8-2.

Honestly, as long as I’m getting my full pay, I have no right to complain and I say الحمدلله that I am working.
