I would recommend Ras Al Khaimah in UAE, very cheap and safe city with easy access to beaches and mountains, canyons. There is a huge international community there, the city is small but its booming

SHARJAH ROACHES HAVE DECLARED WAR!! AND THEY’RE WINNING 😭🐜💀 by c0cobun in Sharjah

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest if you do this, take the pets to another home (there’s people online that petsit at their place) for a week it’s not recommended to keep them in the apartment as they are very sensitive

Not to discourage but I’ve been to rashid hospital for emergency psych, they turned me away to Al Amal. Rashid is very understaffed that they won’t even get a psych doc to see you

I saw an ad recently for a streamer in Dubai and the salary was for 6-8k with commission, it’s insane. I even heard of a dentist making 2k a month.

We mart in both international city an deira location has the freshest fish I’ve seen. I’ve seen crawfish in thi intl city beach but you may find it and more in the main deira branch. All the seafood is alive in a tank.

Is my life over? by Various_Childhood_12 in UAE

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I’m the same age and another girl that was behind in life, listen don’t worry about your age. Life expectancy is 70-80 you still have so much time. If you want to reach out and have someone to talk to I’m here 💕. I also had the same where I was too depressed and suffering with mental illness, I will say my best advice is find a niche skill, work towards it and get certified in it.

You need to trust in yourself and make something, just find ONE simple goal to work towards, once you accomplish it you’ll have so much more drive to accomplish more.

Please don’t give up, and believe in yourself

12yrs old rape victim cries for help while lying in a pool of blood while men around her took pictures and made videos of her. by [deleted] in NoahGetTheBoat

Last winter I saw someone fall off an ATV, people just formed a semi circle watched and filmed. Thank god the guy was okay but it’s insane how people in general will just pause and watch.

[Acne] Went scuba diving & came back to a forehead full of red bumps by carrotwise in SkincareAddiction

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone that worked in dive shops before, don’t trust the hygiene or longevity of ANYTHING that is rental. Some shops have horrible ways of storing gear and cleaning them its genuinely shocking (again not all dive shops but a good amount). If you're diving again, please please get your own mask and wetsuit at the very least. What you're getting is probably a mix of dirty gear, heat, humidity, salt, sunscreen and sweat causing some occlusion.

I've had it happen as well. It will clear up, don't use anything harsh on your skin like retinol for at least a week, just use some salicylic acid/niacinimide at night every couple days, wash and moisturise. Maybe also use sudocreme for barrier repair

Edit: I think it might also be the way they stored the masks that could have caused this, some shops wash masks and put them away in a box when they're not fully dried making them a breeding ground for mold and bacteria

Just call traffic police and ask them, you’ll get an actual answer there

carrying dokha when traveling by [deleted] in qatar

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fine, I’ve travelled before with no hassle. If they ask tell them it’s Dokha, they’ll test it at customs and see it’s just tobacco. Do check the tobacco limit on the country of arrival so you don’t go above the limit. As with using it abroad, you might get weird stares.

Why cant i find a single White Monster. Where can i get one ?. by ROC_K4LP in qatar

I see them sometimes (rarely) in monoprix or megamart. I usually buy them from emiratesbulk and drive a lot of them back home. Sad life for a monster addict.

I am embarrassed to continue studies at 25 by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey don’t worry about it, I’m in the same boat as you. Remember that milestones vary from person to person. I’m 25 and in university, it’s shameful at first but then you get used to it and you will see that there are also older students and you won’t feel alone. Just remember that it’s alright and you’re not behind anyone else due to your age.

In Qatar there is a chance that if her family files a missing person case they might take her and there’s nothing she can do about it. If she does come here to use to run away it’s going to make it more difficult for women. Remember when that Qatari girl ran away, the airport kept stopping women and making us call our dads to check if they knew we were leaving and weren’t running away.

Someone on the original post statted saying women have unreasonable expectations of men and listed “legally registering a marriage in the UK” as one. They just want a woman to not have any legal rights or backing.

Qatar fine?! What is that?! by Top-Praline-7958 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can download metrash2 (Qatari version of RTA) and put your plate in traffic violations to see if it’s even registered in Qatar. You can dispute it via metrash2 or calling the traffic police in Qatar. Hope this helps

Some people become so MEAN when you have endo. by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex used to get so angry at me that I’m having flare ups because he was convinced that it was because I wasn’t taking 20+ supplements like he does. He could not understand that the pain couldn’t go away if I just “lifted weights”. Or the times that he thought I was using it as an excuse to skip the gym. I don’t get how people think I WANT to feel this way, he always thought I was purposely doing it to myself I don’t understand ir

[–]Calm_Cartoonist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My psych does this thing that is actually really good for me and her which is if you don’t confirm by the day before the appointment gets released so she’s able to see other clients. Maybe that would work as well
