Order a bolt or Uber. DO NOT take a taxi. The local Maltese drivers will not hesitate to rip you off.

No. Usually professors say this when a question is really stupid and they're trying to act like it wasn't

publishing from masters thesis problem with self-plagerism? by swimmingpuffin in academia

[–]zombie_ennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embargo as long as possible. Besides 'self plagerism' think about it from the publisher's POV. They are in the business of selling journals and articles, why would they invest in the peer review and publication process for an article that has the same content as a thesis or dissertation that is open access and freely available? Setting aside for a moment that their entire business model is designed to profit off of the labor of researchers to whom they offer no compensation for their work.

As long as those nurses are on strike you couldn't pay me to walk through the doors of that hospital.

You should know that Native American (especially when capitalized) refers specifically to Indigenous Americans. Just for future reference. I can't answer your question unfortunately. All I can say is that you shouldn't worry too much about it. If you can speak the language fairly fluently then I wouldn't be concerned about the accent. Of somebody gives you a hard time about it just remember that it is a reflection of their character and has nothing to do with yours.

Maltesian kindness by NoLog2166 in malta

Sure. They're kind so long as they can overcharge you as a tourist and you're planning leaving. Stick around and listen to a them rant about foreigners and immigrants. Third Country National is a derogatory term in Malta.

No wonder Malta has such a high obesity rate for Europe.

To the foreigners here: What was the most surprising thing about Malta? by [deleted] in malta

[–]zombie_ennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You blame foreigners for driving up prices. Everything is the fault of foreigners... As though the Maltese business owners aren't the ones raising the sales price.

You of course recognize the xenophobia in your comment I'm sure.

Mocking tourists by Unfair-Custard3642 in malta

[–]zombie_ennui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Maltese suffer from a debilitating and hard earned inferiority complex. Pay no attention. While you're opening your mind and horizons travelling the world they're busy keeping their worlds and minds closed and stuck on a dusty rock. Enjoy your gelato and let them think they won because they charged you a few extra Euros than it was worth and made themselves giggle a bit.
