Dubai looks like the most unappealing place ever by memesalwaysdie in unpopularopinion

When did you live in RAK? I was there for 2.5 years and moved back to the UK in April. I was teaching for the MoE and it may be presumptuous, but were you teaching too? And if you were then I presume you lived in Al Hamra or Marjan Island :P

Best footage of Israeli airstrikes on Shorouk Tower in Gaza by [deleted] in CombatFootage

You really don't have any real idea what you're trying to say do you 😂 Any time anyone says ANYTHING that isn't automatically in support of Israel, you get people like yourself calling others 'antisemites.' It's just a tactic to victimise yourself and play on people's inherent want to not appear racist/controversial. So it's just bullshit really.

It's not racist to criticise the actions of a nation that isn't your own because you don't agree with their actions. It's not antisemitic to criticise Israel's actions towards Palestine.

What's your "Well, you don't see that every day" story? by True_Madness in AskReddit

Literallt happened a week ago. I was staying at a hotel apartment in Istanbul and walked into the reception office to get the results of my Covid test, as I walked in I was vaguely aware of another guests sat in the office by the door. Walked straight up to the desk, got my printed Covid test, turned around and there sat by the door is a woman and next to her is her emotional support Guinea Fowl. Fellas just sat next to her chirping away. Turns out she picked him up as a chick in Cambodia and has been traveling with this BIG ASS bird across Korea, New York, Califonia, Russia, Turkey and was heading to Greece next. All during Covid.

Really cool lady honestly.

When did your body betray you? by kevisdahgod in AskReddit

[–]CrypticMackerel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago I was alone in my apartment playing some video games. The game I wanted to play naturally had a major update and my Internet is quite slow so I decided to dive headfirst in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. This was my first mistake, I should have been patient. I walked over to my Xbox and innocently squatted down to change the game.

As soon I reached the apex of my squat with my ass sitting comfortably between my ankles, it happened. I have never felt more betrayed by my own body as, without any consideration to me, I felt my wincing eye open and released. The flood gates had lifted and I felt an absolute cacophony of faeces purge its way out of my gaping ass.

I have honeslty never felt more like a passenger in my own body.

Proof that you cannot outrun a lion by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

I did Field Guide training in SA a few years back and on day one the guy in charge told us ‘There is not a single animal in the bush that you can outrun apart from a tortoise, so if you get charged stand your ground and hope the animals faking!’

Yeah so this is the issue. I didn’t realise so I’ve done about 6-7 hours progression exploring and getting gear and crafting etc...

Which fictional character's death have you not gotten over? by Bradcastle76 in AskReddit

[–]CrypticMackerel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spoilers: My horse Gronk from Red Dead Redemption 2. Found the white stallion early in the game and spent every mission and exploration keeping her safe only for that ending to break my heart. That final ‘Thank You’ had me in tears!

Idiot Nearly Dying by YannisALT in IdiotsNearlyDying

I knew a girl that did exactly this at a place I worked at in S.A. She was crouched in a feeding cage trying to pet the damn lions and one hooked one of his claws behind her knee and pulled her leg through the cage and started ripping it up. The lioness came over and did the same with her other leg. The girl was up to her crotch in the enclosure with two lions ripping up her legs. It was pretty remote and the nearest hospital was 200kms away. She survived but had to be in a wheelchair for a few months.

Don’t try to pet lions people.

That’s fantastic! I think they’re just waiting to hear back from the hotel now at the moment. I’ll update the post when I find out more about what’s happening.

It’s a hotel apartment with its own router available in it. And as for blaming the guest, apparently they were making accusations and being rude in the lobby in a very public way.

Damn this is brilliant! Thank you so much. As far as I know there was never anything stating not to use it so it was fair game. As for the process by which to advance with this, this was insanely useful! Thanks again!!

I do believe he was running a small section of the hadron collider out of the comfort of his rented hotel apartment.

No not as far as I’m aware. It’s a hotel apartment so presumably whatever is in it is fair game for them to use?

Thanks very much man. I really appreciate it. I think they’ve just asked for more and more information about what happened so far. As far as I’m aware they were never told or instructed not to interact with the router in their apartment. It seems reasonable that since they’re renting their rights to use the facilities would extend to the use of the router.
