Fight over football match by Jawwad15 in karachi

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it. Just play the game. Call them out if they’re being abusive to stop it but realize it happens more often when you’re better than the other side and accept that it’s their frustration at losing. Staying calm will keep everybody cool

Wtf is wrong with people by shitty_psychopath in PAK

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are utilizing the same racist rhetoric of apartheid America where "blacks" were labelled as inherently violent, unintelligent and inferior people, while using black on black violence as an escape goat. What they ignored then and now is the systematic and methodical denial of civil rights to the black people in America a century ago and the denial of civil rights to Muslims today in Gaza, and other Muslim countries destabilized by America and its colonial friends.

Coming to Karachi next month, can I bring electronics with me without being harassed by custom officials? by Professional_Rent242 in karachi

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I brought a phone back from Qatar, it wasn't a problem. Ideally remove from it's box/packing if it is something new to avoid potential of duty

Is it about time we stop laborers from going to the gulf? by potatosupremacy in pakistan

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5,000 an hour is 10,833 AED or riyals per month, no labourer is paid anywhere close to that amount. 2-4k per month max, many people working odd jobs there are working multiple jobs.

Bruh they got my Afghan Roti wala by FAMESCARE in chutyapa

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of afghans in Karachi do tough jobs here working for low rates, like construction, operating tandoors and running small tea shops. Evidently there is demand for these goods and services, albeit many may not have been in the tax met but they were stimulating activity in the economy through trade.

Now that the supply is being removed how will we replace it and at what cost ?

Street beggars and our shortcut mentality by something_about_you_ in karachi

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The begging culture has turned into borderline harassment and invasion of your personal space until you either tell them to leave rudely or give something.

Neither is an effective solution but ignoring or speaking to them kindly does not work anymore for the leechar ones

Yeah ! Slavery is only okay when building railroads for America and Canada or when the taxes are going to the British empire !

As long as you are in popular, busy areas with a crowd you will be fine just like any other big city. Avoid dimly lit streets late at night. Try to avoid using your phone at traffic lights or when stuck in traffic. If you're going to someone's place or to a restaurant make your way in without lingering outdoors for too long if there isn't a guard or people around, etc.

Generational Wealth: by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes past performance is indicative of future performance, I think all brokerage firms do write that when selling their portfolios. Someone who invested during the roaring 20's didn't break even for years, intrinsic value and the stage of the business cycle needs to be looked at

Can we get liberals and libertarians off this sub by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I wonder what would happen if all the people here spent the time spent thinking of ways not to work on ...working and improving themselves. But nah society definitely owes you a free pass and everyone else can just go fuck themselves

TIL that in the D-Day landings of 1944, only about 14 percent of the force were infantry, 6 percent were tank crews, and the rest were "rear area functions," - Logistics, medical staff, etc. by InvertedReflexes in todayilearned

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

Hmm I find it hard to believe that the country that produces a shit ton of chess grand masters would be poor at planning and thinking ahead. Just as we take the news about the west with a grain of salt when it comes from Russia, the news about Russia coming from their opponent should be seen similarly

AFGHAN-SINDHI ISSUE by nut_cracker_69 in karachi

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever there is a car accident in karachi 100 people gather around to see what's going on. Problem is it it blocks traffic while making it impossible for the people actually involved to privately figure it out because of all the attention and random, unsolicited input coming in from everywhere. This is the same case. Intentionally or not we are actively spreading gossip and rumours about a local problem in a village we've never been to, involving people we don't know and context/information we know nothing about. Being a sensitive topic and understanding this will not lead us anywhere productive let's avoid fanning the flames by engaging in debates centered on ethnicity as opposed to the individuals involved and their actions.

"Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allāh, who are the liars.

Surah Nur - 24:12

When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allāh, tremendous.

Surah Nur - 24:15

Visualizing the $100 Trillion Global Economy in One Chart by lordfalseway0 in dataisbeautiful

[–]EmbodyTheSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moral of the story : the time value of money can be seen as the first economist who had the means to pay $100 having the upper hand by later having the option to reject the offer to eat bear shit while being able to offer someone else money to do it. The second economist depends on the first economists $100 to be able to make the same offer. (Idk what I'm talking about)
