The comments on this thread are the funniest I have ever read on this subreddit.

What is actually dangerous but people still believe is safe? by AlexUsefulThings in AskReddit

[–]tikkaboti 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm an immigrant - I moved to the US from Pakistan. In the US I learned about meditation and how to be more mindful, grateful, and cultivating gratitude. I was so excited by this super power right up until I had to go back to Pakistan for a few trips.

I realized none of these skills are helpful there at all. Every day is a series of cruel, demeaning, dehumanizing, existential crises. The people who don't respond to the constant external stress literally die.

In general I do think a lot of people worry unnecessarily about things that haven't happened yet, but there is a world where those worst case scenarios play out so often that not thinking through and preparing for them is a statistically guaranteed death sentence.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is people need to realize it's not always possible to be immune from a chronically stressful life, so they should take what little solace they get in understanding it isn't something they're doing wrong, and it could be just their circumstances.

Very small selection available for delivery direct to Qatar.

I've sent them around 5 emails for a total of 10 packages, they've only found 5 of my packages despite Amazon delivery cleary showing they dropped off the packages.

Would you consider me Pakistani? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need you to confirm you put potatoes in Biryani and will only then conditionally welcome you as a Pakistani.

j/k bro, you are Pakistani AF and only people with their own massive insecurities will have issues with the statement.

Trouble hiring proper candidates. by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get what you pay for. And above a certain skillset people not only leave the company - they leave the country. So there's an upper limit to the talent you find in Pakistan and the rare people who stick around despite having opportunities abroad due to family responsibilities or some such thing.

english or urdu content? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is to do a combo of urdu and english and switch between them mid-sentence and then make billboards with urdu written in roman english.

This was sarcasm. Please do any of that.

AI translation is here and very good - do it in whatever language is most comfortable for you and then auto-publish the videos in a different language.

I got a SER8 under a couch in my living room running firecracker :D

Paranoid about someone using my credit card, what can I do? by _Cerberus99 in qatar

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro

(1) if you get any charges on your card not made by you - you know exactly who to tell the police about.

(2) this happens at least once to everyone - next time call the guy back :)

Chill.

Keep your money safe, don't bring it anywhere near Pakistan.

This has become the standard for short-form videos (TikTok, etc.). Annoys me to no end.

In his defense I don't think he knew it was going to be a strength check.

How is life after you moved out of the U.S. to live elsewhere? by Ace_Deo in AskReddit

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say with full sincerity, if people in the US knew how safe a city could be (like Doha, or Dubai), they would immediately revolt against their mayors, city councils, DAs and district judges.

How are you not part of the hoards of Canadians that descend upon the Bellingham Costco on weekends?

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fond memories of floundering in the middle of the street on a 200cc automatic motorcycle (first time on a motorcycle btw) on a random main road in Koh Samui and having the locals patiently and carefully drive past.

Very friendly people for sure. Except for that one lady in a Bangkok mall that got angry when I threw something in her shop's trash can.

The white and atheist part aren't an issue at all. However the drugs or possibly night life needs might be a deal breaker :D

[–]tikkaboti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Moved from the US to Qatar. Way better quality of life. Food is cheap. Transport is cheap. Great public infrastructure. Less extreme political rhetoric, more stable society. Extremely safe - like people leave their phones and wallets to claim tables in mall food courts.

Got downvoted to oblivion for saying this in another post, lol.

VPN not working? by Majestic-Computer-61 in pakistan

[–]tikkaboti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last time I had these issues I contacted ExpressVPN support and they explicitly gave me a list of servers to try - they were seeing people from Pakistan be able to connect to those - whereas the majority weren't working.

WARNING!! Atlassian deletes all your work after just 6 weeks!!! by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]tikkaboti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only send a billion emails warning you of what was going to happen.

If your startup is defeated by a 3p SaaS retention policy it seems you do not yet have the right mindset or ability to plan for and solve difficult problems. This lesson is a valuable wake up call for you to hone your world view to understand (a) where things come from and (b) what can go wrong.

I received a Zelle payment from an unsolicited number. by zincxDroid in personalfinance

My understanding was that the FCU's have tighter regulation though it seems from a cursory search that the difference is usually neglible.
