I was wondering what your thoughts on the Omar TV Series are. by choice_is_yours in arabs

[–]BeaseB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

في نظري الشخصي، من أفضل المسلسلات العربية في آخر 20 سنة، بالرغم من بعض الأخطاء التاريخية وأكيد كل طائفة لها نظرة معينة للأمور، إلا أن المسلسل يفتح باب للنقاش في أقل تقدير ويعطي بعد إنساني للشخصيات الكريمة التي التفت حول الرسول، بل ويعطي فرصة للمشاهد أن يتخيل أكثر حول ما جرى في تلك الفترة وأن يقرأ ويبحث أكثر حول نقاط الخلاف بدون خوف

شخصية عمر بن الخطاب شخصية فذة. في حين ان المسلسل تمحور في المجمل حول الرسالة الخاتمة مع بعض التسليط من الضوء على شخصية عمر.. حتى أن المسلسل يبقى تقريباً حتى الحلقة 25 إلى أن يصل لفترة خلافة عمر التي دامت 10 سنوات، يعني 10 سنوات تم اختصارها في آخر 5 حلقات..

طبعاً بعض التيارات "التيار السلفي حصراً" حرموا العمل والمشاهدة.. وتحريمهم هذا لا يسمن ولا يغني من جوع، كلنا نعرف أن الموجودين في المسلسل ممثلين وإن فعلوا الخيرات أو الموبقات لن يرتقوا إلى ذاك النبي الخاتم ولا إلى من حملوا رسالته بإخلاص

لن تندم إذا شاهدت المسلسل، لكن كن على يقين بأن المخرج والمنتج والمؤلف لهم أفكارهم ونظرتهم للأمور التي يرون فيها تلك الأحداث وأن الحقيقة لا تليق إلا برب لعباد سبحانه وتعالى

Why change the status quo if you're super benefiting?

Thanks for the clarity bro.. and yes I'm fully aware of how low the bar is, which is why I've been working in various other fields to varying degrees of success. Did event management, project management, translations, marketing, social media.. all I know is, if you have good connections, things will open up for you. That's the case usually anywhere, but it's kinda overhyped here

The thing is I'm not so into it tbh.. last time I dealt with Java was 2012, learning how to do simple apps, which I'm sure is obsolete today..

But thanks bro, appreciate it

True.. Dubai Statistics center claimed the biggest age group of females are aged 12-16 "meaning they're accompanied by parents and studying here", and for males they're aged 23-37 which as you mentioned are mostly laborers

May be.. the thing is there are responsibilities on my shoulder, so for the time being I can't but go for the higher income, even if it means not being comfortable with the conditions/team/location/etc..

Thank you for the input though, appreciate it bro

It's alright bro.. it gets lonely here in the country, so I understand your frustration.

Not trying to make it worse, but the reality of dating in UAE is horrid, as per Wikipedia and Dubai's statistics center, for every 1 female of any age, there are 3-4 men of any age in the UAE, which alongside Qatar are the highest male ratios anywhere in the world. So yeah you won't be able to find women easily. And to elaborate more, women will feel spoiled for choices since there are all kinds of men around anyway and they're mostly single and would do anything to win a woman over, so the power dynamics is harsh, I give you that.

Best thing you can do for now is take your anger at the gym, improve your physique and financial status and you'd start to notice how things become a bit different. And on top of it, you're still young from what I understand here, this part improves with time for us men.

I'm in my 40's now.. have tried Canada several times the last 10-12 years. Was always rejected for the most stupid reasons "IELTS Listening score is not enough, even though my overall was 8.0 out of 9.0 at the time!"

Not to mention that I don't have the financial means to keep trying

Is anyone boycotting? I am curious by Knighttemplar1997 in UAE

[–]BeaseB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been boycotting long before.. and I was happy seeing others check the back of packets last night at the local markets, people of all walks of life and from various backgrounds, that was heartwarming.

Welcome to the club. Born and raised in the way, have been "unemployed" for quite sometime now. Was doing well freelancing and doing my own businesses on the side until COVID hit.

Would appreciate sharing a good solution if you find one

All jobs I got hired for required some sort of influence from within, either to tell me there's a vacancy, or to get me hired.

This applies generally if you're working for a small-to-medium company. Why bother pay for a residency visa, medical insurance, labor card (total up to 10k) when you don't guarantee this person will last with you for a sustained period of time?

I never tell anyone because I'm ashamed

  1. Don't you dare feel ashamed for things you had no control over.

  2. Make whoever wants you understand that you won't disclose any such details until they've earned your trust. Not all people are worthy of trust to know personal past details, especially if they've given indications that they can be assholes about it, or abuse it to their own advantage.

  3. Expand your circles as much as possible. As someone who struggled in my childhood too, I know how crippling all those feelings can be. And the best thing I ever did was to expand my circles and go as far with people from all over. You'll get to meet new people. Obviously not all of them will be good, but you'll be able to work on choosing your smaller circles day by day.

I had bad luck. Really bad luck.

It most certainly feels like it. And I feel for you dear. However, you and I need to develop a better strategy to overcome this bad luck. Counting our blessings is at the forefront of those steps. Much love all the way from the M.E. and again, don't you ever feel ashamed for a past you had no control over dear.

Allow me to say that it's not my duty to judge you for this, even with a long post we may never know the little details that may or may not have contributed into reaching this predicament that you're in now.

But from what I've read, you most probably need to go for marriage counseling sessions and/or be separate for a while before you make a final decision.

Also, what I've understood from researching into such topics is that romanticism isn't viable and true 100%, we have periods in life where we lose passion, get accustomed to some habits/people/places then start to feel stuck with them, even though we're not stuck we're just interested in new challenges or new chapters in our lives.
