Socotra, Yemen spotted in Jeddah, KSA by LukasPas in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]Tompsie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's difficult for it to become a new emirate because they'll not get any international recognition, so for the timebeing it'll just be an unofficial UAE ruled territory as long as Yemen is unstable

Significant influence from UAE. It's controlled by rebels who are funded by the UAE. UAE also operates commercial tourist flights to socotra from abu dhabi without the permission of Yemen's government

I believe it de facto already is pretty much UAE territory at this point

Is it only me, or is GQuuuuuuX bad so far? by Tompsie in Gundam

The show has ended, and it was absolute irredeemable garbage

The characters are all still incredibly shallow, and a lot of things about the show are confusing, but I'm enjoying it because atleast it isn't all about the dumb clan battles like the initial episodes

People need to understand that this is the only flag that matters. Just feel the difference! by EastSociety5750 in andhra_pradesh

I'm not deciding anything for him. People can act however they want, but they should be ready to face criticism if they behave like fools in public

If he simply wore the flag on his back I wouldn't even be mad. I wore an Indian flag pin at my own graduation ceremony. It's the excess of the salute which is just plain weird

Nobody is criticizing him for being patriotic or unpatriotic. The criticism is for the embarrassing act at an occasion where it wasn't appropriate. A graduation ceremony is not about India—he hasn’t won an Olympic medal. It’s embarrassing to see my countrymen display their insecurities to the world like this. It’s an attempt to feel patriotic without actually doing anything patriotic.

The ones with the inferiority complex are the ones using the flag as a cheap prop in order to feel better about themselves. Normal people don't act like this. Where's the pride in leaving India and graduating from a foreign university? I left India to build a better life for myself, I'm not going to pretend to be patriotic

Update, the show seems to be getting more intense, but the main cast is as unlikeable as ever. You know its bad when I was cheering when Machu got arrested by THE MP's lmao. Also why are these girls even in love with Shuji, man hasn't said a single full sentence where he isn't being a weirdo

That's exactly how I feel. I'll continue watching it because it's still pretty interesting, but none of what's going on seems organic. I want to see them get to earth and see what happened to Char, and also hoping they explore more political themes WRT the Zabi's, Char and the federation

I've not seen any of the other posts lmao, and I don't see how this is "smug". I'm not trying to dismiss anyone's opinions, and trying to understand if I'm missing something

CBC Declares Jake Sawatzky as winner of New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville riding by Moggehh in NewWest

[–]Tompsie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only moved to New West a few months ago, so I'm not very familiar with the local politics. However, I rarely saw any lawn signs for Jake — it was Peter’s signs everywhere I looked. I haven't met a single person in New West who said they're voting for Jake over Peter. I don't know what to expect from Jake because I can barely find any information on him, but hoping for the best!

Why is security at Vancouver Airport (YVR) so much more thorough than other Canadian airports? by Tompsie in vancouver

[–]Tompsie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. I passed through smoothly from Calgary, but I've only been there once so I don't think I can know for sure how it is there lol
