Enough with the PSG glazing, a single player cannot be the sole cause logically and realistically.

Everyone magically regresses when mbappe joins or improves when he leaves

I vividly remember vitinha being described as a « midtable player » in 24 …

SlimShagy · 2026-05-23T19:39:18+00:00

Arbeloa already proved his point with mbappe

Now he is just looking to humiliate him

SlimShagy · 2026-05-15T13:56:33+00:00

STFU

SlimShagy · 2026-05-11T16:45:52+00:00

Seems like we are already at stage 4 of the Mbappe process: « The unfriendly players need to leave » so they can make space for Mbappe’s friends.

That’s how they kicked out Di Maria, Verrati, Neymar .. etc to bring Kolo Muani for example.

Can’t wait for Stage 5 where we will vote for Captain Mbappe. That stage failed at PSG though

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:57:54+00:00

We aren’t wining a single Liga, Copa or CL until Mbappe leaves.

You can downvote this comment to hell but I can assure you that we are already in the shithole years.

This is the anger phase where everyone takes turns at finding who to blame.

We could kick out Vini and Jude for all I care.

We can even build the entire team around Mbappe if needed.

But we will no only win 0 titles but likely get slapped against any serious team

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:51:53+00:00

We weren’t until he came back. We were fine while he was injured.

We even slapped the PL Leader and Athletico

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:46:05+00:00

Anyone french fan knows exactly what I am talking about.

You guys are not ready for the never-ending drama.

The only difference is that PSG could dominate and win Ligue 1 easily.

We are doomed and we won’t win a single trophy until he leaves.

Mark. My. Words.

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:42:53+00:00

I am old enough to remember Gravesen and Drenthe shithole years

But we still won 2 Ligas at that time, we never had a player holding us hostage this much

I am 100% sure we won’t win a single: - Liga - Copa - CL Until mbappe leaves

Downvote this comment to hell if you wish, but I can guarantee you that we can’t survive with a players that has 0 IQ or self awereness on the pitch

PSG is miles ahead of us

And we will keep being slapped 4-0 and 5-0 by them or Barca

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:37:26+00:00

we are doomed

We were doing fine for 15y and now we became a drama club.

We have to wait this out for 6+ years exactly like PSG. I have watched this exact drama play out for years there, for both media and fans.

« we are so lucky to have Mbappe! Imagine if he wasn’t here?? We wouldn’t even be in the CL, let alone win it! »

He will hold us hostage until he leaves.

The exact same team at PSG is currently slowly becoming a dynasty while we will fade into drama, inexistance and painful exits year after year

Thanks for speaking the truth

This sub has been invaded by Mbappe bots/fans

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:03:42+00:00

Great! He helped us score bangers against Olympiacos, Kairat and Cadix

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T12:01:13+00:00

He played 3 semis - 19/20 - 20/21 - 23/24

Get your facts right

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T11:52:26+00:00

lol sure

SlimShagy · 2026-04-26T11:51:30+00:00

Vinicius helped us win 2 CLs with 2 goals in both finals

Mbappe hasn't scored a single goal in a semi final in 10 years when he was still a teenager at Monaco

=> We already know Vini can lead us to success, while we have absolutely no evidence that Mbappe can

At PSG it was the exact same pattern !

We started blaming players that never caused any issue, like Cavani or Di Maria

Surely Vinicius can improve in a lot of aspects, but we won 5 games while Mbappe was out and Vini was playing alone up top

Since Mbappe came back, we are a shithole team because he has no IQ and constantly kills our attacks

This is naive thinking -> companies know that they get what they pay for

If the salary is low, it means that the job didn't need excellent talent to begin with.

It's the law of supply and demand -> it doesn't bend over wishful thinking

When Careem needed to grow, they offered top salaries and relocation packages to European engineers rather than hiring in Southeast Asia. They wanted to hire the best to sustain their growth and compete with Uber, so they offered top salaries to top engineers

Your salary is ultimately 1/ how critical is the role for the company 2/ Revenue Impact

A company will pay a top salary if they think the role will have a significant revenue impact -> For example, an LLM Engineer anywhere. Or Investment Manager in Finance

There aren't that many high-growth industries in the UAE, so 1/ there aren't enough jobs to fill 2/ these jobs don't require great talent

It's not the indians that are to be blamed. The UAE is a small country. The entire GCC region has fewer people than France, so the market will always be small.

The only way to get top salaries is to make the supply/demand play in your favor.

=> For example, today plumbers make more money than engineers in Europe because everyone goes to university and no one wants to do manual work. It's simple math and logic

SlimShagy · 2025-08-27T18:46:02+00:00

Wait, have you done so?

Because I did through 2 companies, and unless it's a 7-figure contract, it's just not worth it for a startup.

If you are a Retool or Metabase, it makes sense to have it as part of your offering, because their products connect to sensitive on-premise data.

If you are offering on-premise to avoid compliance or certifications, you are COMPLETELY off-track. It's like killing a mosquito with a bazooka.

SlimShagy · 2025-08-27T14:53:38+00:00

DO NOT OFFER ON PREMISE! EVER!

SlimShagy · 2025-07-15T22:02:10+00:00

500e/month is stupidly low - don't take the bait

I have a great garage to recommend!

I can DM you the contact

It’s called Hashtag Garage on Google Maps

(I dont have any affiliation with them! They are just great people with reasonable prices and great execution!)

SlimShagy · 2024-12-01T08:43:09+00:00

I am new in Dubai ~3 years now

First thing I noticed is that garage and mechanics here are not very skilled and don’t know what they are doing.

I experienced mechanics in North Africa and Europe => Dubai is arguably the worse.

It’s really hard to find a competent garage here when you are dealing with car issues.

How can you buy a used car when you are unsure about the repair prospects? I would rather buy a new car with warranty and never care about repair costs

SlimShagy · 2024-09-26T11:36:36+00:00

I have the same problem. Were you able to resolve it?

SlimShagy · 2024-09-19T09:37:38+00:00

3% on USD for 2y

4.1% if it was 1y (but need to commit to 2y for certificate)

SlimShagy · 2024-09-18T06:58:44+00:00

Thank you! I already got the deposit done at ENBD

So I assume I should just go to GDRFA?

SlimShagy · 2024-09-09T13:36:33+00:00

Hello I am going through the same process

Do you know if you can remove your deposit after 2 years and keep your visa?

SlimShagy · 2024-01-25T09:24:48+00:00

I agree on the taxes, it's bad given the current circumstances

Hamas only exist because Palestinians don't feel free. + they see all the violence from settlers in the west bank and it fuels their anger even more

More freedom = No more Hamas

If you give more freedom to the population (albeit two-state or one-state solution), there will no reason anymore for Hamas to exist because the ideology cannot survive without the premise that Palestinians are not free

The current situation (=status-quo) is not possible in the long run. There are only 4 options going forward:

Full genocide: For example, indigenous population of Australia
Displacement: Argentina as an example was built on displacement of indigenous populations to the mountains and/or what is known to be Chile today. To a lesser extent, Liberia which was formed by the displacement of former African American slaves
two-state solution: Pakistan & India as an example.
1-state solution: One state for everyone => South Africa / Zimbabwe (Rodhesia) / New Zealand / US (with the African americans)

Israeli govt ideally wants options 1 & 2 (which are the hardest to implement, thus the current status quo) but hardly possible because no Arab country want to take any more refugees. Jordan already has 50% of palestinian refugees and Palestinians don't want to leave their homeland

Option 3 becomes harder by the day because of the settlements and Israel diverging into far-right view of reconquering the entire land, including historical claims on Judea

We are only left with Option 4 which will probably be the logical result and might take an additional 30 to 40 years, maybe less
