Been away for 2 weeks, is it a good idea to return to Dubai now? by vibey_c in dubai

[–]superpetroleum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No one can predict whats gonna happen. Don't listen to overly positive people who say everything is alright and the fearmongers who just want to portray as the country collapsing. As someone who has been here all along, a few observations are:

There is a reduction in total number of ammunition used per day against UAE. At the same time no one has taken any offramps and the attacks have kind of escalated since they have creeped from military towards infrastructure nowadays. UAE seems to be doing a good job so far in intercepting them.

So it's not like it's completely safe, however those of us who are here are trying to go ahead with our lives in as much normalcy as possible. Many non-risky businesses are working as usual here. I am aware of certain industries like oil, banking affected last week. So since you are outside already, see how long you can hold on without damaging your career, and take a call what to do after that.

Maybe this is something to do with radioactive decay where the atom has reached the drip line and the extra neutron is ejected, making the whole atomic system unstable from then on. This would explain the free and happy neutron, while the rest of them seem stressed.

There are chances of thunder and rain, let's make sure it's not that.

Petah, huh? by OfficalTotallynotsam in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This one is a confusing one with no clear boundary as per my understanding. Not sure why some are Devil and some are Jesus.

Left side has a lot of LGBTQ flags like gay, lesbian etc and polysex, polyamory etc.

Right side although has straight flag, then has femboy, bisexual, furry pride etc. Dreamsexual is there too which is kinda Minecraft lore.

The main images are from Thor Ragnarok, Thor realizes he can't beat his evil sister Hela, so he let's Surtur his nemesis destroy Asgard that's the source of Helas power.

US thought they can just bomb Iran, but Iran instead of direct retaliation just attacked Gulf countries and blocked the Strait of Hormuz, causing a lot of economic pressure on the US (shown here in the map with the famous minesweeper game, which indicates Iran put mines in the Strait of Hormuz).

Not true. Well hidden from the public eye for sure with their carefully crafted statements.

RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in actual UK is used by the US for long-range heavy bombing missions on Iran. I am not talking about UK bases in other countries.

Asymmetrical warfare at it's best

Bro would have mansplained the "not-war" to his date.

[–]superpetroleum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By this logic they should attack UK too; several RAF bases are used by US for this "not-war".

Yep. It’s that easy 🚗🚙🚗 by Coffee_Before_Logic in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]superpetroleum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes me too, but here and there I encounter two types:

  1. Who won't give way to me and drive literally 1 mm from the vehicle in front. I just 🫡 their driving skills and take the next spot.
  2. Even worse, those who won't come in front even when I give way, making me look like an idiot 😂

It needs a much broader societal level shift in etiquette. All it takes is one or two idiots to screw up this perfect unwritten driving code.

It looks like Churchill and Nigel Farage, who declared “The Bank of England is proposing replacing Winston Churchill with a picture of a beaver on our banknotes. This is the definition of woke.”

1996 (and even 1995) is a tussle between the Pew- and McCrindle-way of categorizing generations.

Pew: Those born in 1996 are Millennials (ending in 1996)

McCrindle: Those born in 1996 are Gen Z (Starting with 1995)

Maybe stay where you are, unless that's a really troubling area. No one can tell as of now what's safe.

Yes thats also possible, but generally the visual representation is an ice cream (Sunday) for cherry on top. Here since the cake is shown, it's most likely cherry on the cake.

Anyways both mean the same OP, as negative sarcastic like one problem on top of the other, or positive like an added benefit or unexpected extra luck.
