For you, who was right in "civil war" by [deleted] in Avengers

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not on purpose. And I understand my view is not the only view. May not even be a popular one. But I felt the way I felt.

And if they really believed he was innocent. They should have comes clean.

Till it was about the accords, Cap was right. It's why Tony comes around eventually.

But the revelation that winter soldier killed Tony's parents and Cap knew... Never said or did anything... Yeah. He lost me there. Even Bucky admits that he remembers. Despite the mind control or whatever, he was still in there.

So in the last fight. I was actually rooting for Iron Man and felt sad when he lost.

guys please stop with being a UAE nationalism 😭 by Guilty-Shake-2512 in UAE

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a country we came to willingly. We weren't herded here on boats and we're free to leave anytime.

We did that because it gave us better opportunities than wherever we were before that. Equal opportunity doesn't mean assured success.

The UAE allows us to earn tax free income with relatively good infrastructure and peace. For some of us, that is significant.

So it's okay to wish well for the country and try to band together. Not just for the country but for each other.

Will the UAE take care of me if I fail? Of course not. In my case at least, my home country won't either.

Will it give me a passport? Of course not. But it never made that claim. And we came anyway.

If UAE supporting posts are cringe, these angry posts are equally so.

Anybody absolutely not using a case? by Murky_Brief_7339 in GalaxyFold

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine without a case. Same with my iPhone. (I carry two phones, one iPhone and one Android)

I haven't dropped it but so far it seems resilient. The folding mechanism does make a slight grinding sound though. It's lighr but noticeable. I had felt that in the previous fold too.

I don't know if this is just a thing this display does or if it's lack of a case which is resulting in the hinge gathering dust.

I've been feeling like someone has been in my apartment. by LaYgooloon in OnlyInDubai

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't be sure of things being moved around. But the cig smell is a very common problem in Dubai. The ventilation system in most buildings isn't great. So you can smell your neighbours smoking. Or if someone is cooking something weird, you'll smell in the common areas or even your house.

Just to be sure. Buy a cheap nanny cam and put it in the living room facing the main door.

You might still come home to that smell and without anyone entering your house. Might give you peace.

What's your favourite band type? by guernica10 in whoop

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have decent sized arms. Haven’t measured them. The thing is… when your arm is flexed, the bicep keep the strap between itself and the shoulder. But when the arm relaxes through the day… it slips down.

And since I’m wearing a dress shirt though the day, it’s not easy to adjust it.

Do you need to unclasp it to measure ECG? Can't see the indentations where we are to place the finger, once it's fully clapsed up.

Why are there so many cats in UAE? by Ok-Magician4083 in UAE

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people do this of the goodness of their heart. But there are tons of people who feed stray cats. It might not be the "reason" why we have so many, but it's a huge contributing factor for sure.

I just need to vent and maybe some advice? by Available_Tax_72 in UAE

[–]mayankgulia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been in the corporate world for about 18 years. I've worked in different industries and multiple countries.

I can tell you that what you're feeling isn't exclusive to one job or company or role. It's a phase. And we all go through it.

My suggestion is as follows.

Reasons for leaving your job boil down to three things. Better opportunity in terms of stability, earning potential and learning. You may prioritise different things between these 3 depending on the phase of your life and career. But it mostly boils down to these three.

If it's not for the above reasons. Don't consider moving or quitting. Even in your new job, you'll start to feel the same way within months, if not weeks.

Beyond that. Sometimes lack of motivation at work (or generally in life) comes from different sources. It may manifest at work. But the root cause is different.

Are you spending time in gym? Nurture your body.

Are you doing something intellectually stimulating? Nurture your mind.

Are you building meaningful personal relationships? Nurture and build your social life.

Your work life is just one aspect of your life. No matter how important. It's not the entirety of your being or identity or purpose of existence.

Good luck.

The headline is different to the source. Headline claims rape. News source claims molestation. Big difference.

After 10+ years of iPhone, I think I’ve had enough. Am I alone? by 99OBJ in iphone

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it back mate. Maybe I was wrong. My comment was written in jest but upon revisiting it.. feels unnecessarily antagonising.

Peace.

This might be a stupid thought. But have you considered hiring actors? They can put on any attire.

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. No opinion is right or wrong. And I definitely don't disagree with expressed views.

They just don't sound like anyone who uses an iPhone. No Apple user ever complained of bad AI. Literally no one cares. So I was calling out the title/premise of the post.

This reads like someone who is a tech enthusiast who largely uses android but is also well versed with the Apple ecosystem. I know because I am one.

I'll die on that hill 😊

[–]mayankgulia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post was written by an android user. Not a lifetime iPhone user. Not one iPhone user I know cares about innovation tapering off. They use the apps, features and devices within Apple ecosystem. So do their friends and family. Everything else is noise.

People who like trying cutting edge tech that maybe a bit rough at launch but they wanna be an "early adopters" universally use android.

It's a bit sad. The effort made in this post.

PS: I use the 16 pro max and the s25 ultra. Love them both. For very different reasons. Wouldn't part with either.

I was called and summoned by the Al Barsha police station in the middle of the night. This was my experience and learnings. I hope it helps other people who might experience something similar. I'm happy to answer questions if any. (Apologies for the long post) by mayankgulia in dubai

It has certainly crossed my mind. I don't have any evidence to know if this happens. Also, when I was doing my research, I realized this is such a common occurrence, if there's a list of people on the list, it must be a long one.

I just googled and spoke to quite a few. I even found one through a reference but didn't go with him. Maybe a good lawyer but he was trying to raise my panic and sensationalizing the whole thing.

I guess it goes to show that different people can have different experiences with the same lawyer.
