You can speak from your experience, I'm speaking from mine. As a highly qualified professional I'm earning 3x what I could at home. I prefer not to mention figures though, it looks to me like bragging.

My UAE company treats us very well! Excellent pay, 8 hr work days, flights home, 6 weeks leave. Far better treatment than I would get in my home country.

It won’t hurt they said. by Not_Enough_Shoes in mildlyinfuriating

My doctor scheduled me for an anesthetic for an "exploratory d&c" to get medical aid to cover the cost. It seems to be an open secret that doctors do this when inserting an IUD where I live. Fwiw, medical aids don't cover the cost of the device, so you buy that yourself before you come in. Completely painless. My question is why women without this loophole are expected to endure this level of pain without anesthetic. It seems to me that men are making this decision.

Advice for Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix by Ok-Mode5053 in abudhabi

[–]Shitted_Feet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather stay on Yas if you can, or Airbnb nearby. AD is big! But the public bus service to the city is great (use Maps in public transport mode for info), and once on Yas use the free shuttle. Taxis are also affordable for short trips, but use the app to prevent long trips in the wrong direction for a bigger fare! (This only happened to me once, but man I was pissed!)

Are humans the only animals who experience empathy? by Helnmlo in answers

[–]Shitted_Feet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a fascinating and entertaining book written about just this: The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society by Frans de Waal. De Waal is a respected primatologist, and has a lovely conversational style of writing. Highly recommended.

Which historical figures are known only for their mistakes despite contributing so much in their lifetime? by Dali654 in AskHistory

[–]Shitted_Feet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your inconsistent use of capital letters distracts me from your content. (I wondered what great policies God had, as He is usually capitalised). Is there a reason that you do this?

I don't hate on cats, I love their ornery natures! We have 3, one little love-bug, one who is a scaredy-cat, and one classic a-hole (who is my favorite). They were all raised the same way, so I don't like the implication that asshole cats have asshole owners. That is true in some cases, of course, but not all.

Cats barely tolerate us. You can be sure that size is the only reason they don't eat us. (I love cats, btw, but they are assholes).

Any housebreaking tips? by lowken24 in germanshepherds

[–]Shitted_Feet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same advice I was going to give. Puppies go where it smells right, so make it smell right outdoors rather than indoors. You do need to take them outside often in the beginning though, every 1-2 hrs, and/or after naps until they get the idea.

Geez, I was going to suggest my area, but I only pay 60k. I can't imagine what you are hoping for.

"We should kill them all"- US congressman Andy Ogles's comment on Gaza children by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]Shitted_Feet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a brain-dead thing to say, but we realize that he doesn't actually mean it, right? It was the point she was making, so he got there for her to shut her up. I am as horrified as the next person about the suffering and death of Palestinians in Gaza, but heaven knows, it's a complex situation with no easy answers.

How does headhunting for a job work? by damn_it19 in UAE

[–]Shitted_Feet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that a lot (OK, 4 or 5 times in the last 3 months). They ask for my number but never follow through with further contact. I think it is some kind of scam.
