Dubai 2020 fireworks
Spectacular fireworks in Dubai to celebrate 2020
FRONT PAGE EDIT: Aww splendid to start the year on the front page. Thanks for all the comments, though would be great to focus on just admiring the fireworks rather than make it a discussion of UAE vs America or something. I find things to admire and criticize in both countries, and am affiliated to neither.
Oh yeah, send boobs too.

Then you read countless testimonies of rape victims and the facade of modernity comes tumbling down.

Sometimes I think it would be cool to go to Dubai. Then I remember that the government is pretty damn misogynistic and fundamentally fucked,
RealityInflicted
which, oddly, is the same reason that I haven't been to the US in a while.

Oh no, there’s a Fire on the 231 flor! Get the ladder...

Did that building just, how do I put this tastefully, climax?

Not in the UAE, you're thinking of Saudi Arabia.
SneakyPeakyReacon
I’m not exactly a fan of the UAE but that’s woefully inaccurate.
rockdoctor
Stay because your employer confiscated your passport.
DOOdManDooderlisious
France has had a beheading more recently than UAE XD
Screwdelicious
What beheadings? Read a book before self-righteously criticizing a country you know nothing about
peopleannoyme420
It’s a fucking joke buddy- calm yer tits
Screwdelicious
I’m telling you very calmly. You may be joking but a lot of people see your comment and don’t see it as a joke. Which only spreads idiocy.

At the start of it, the white light rose to the top where fireworks exploded outward giving the appearance of the phallic objects climax.

How many south Asian slaves died for that display I wonder

Yeah.... nothing Freudian ‘bout that at all. Lol

I have one friend from dubai and he is cool as fuck. These comments are changing my mind
thatscool22
As they should. Dubai used a ton of slaves to build those buildings. A lot of Muslims in the ME think other people are beneath them.

Impressive but fuck Dubai

Ya fuck Dubai for its evil capitalism/ slave use, but let’s still buy, use and wear shit that was made by the biggest modern slave owner.

Agreed. It is sad though that we are always dropping the ball on New Years. Literally and figuratively.

I like how you’re saying that having absolutely no firsthand knowledge of this place
aziz518470
I live in dubai. Its pretty vapid and shallow place to live. Its lovely for a couple of days. But it kinda chips away at your soul.
oshodatwan
O it’s definitely a soulless hellhole!!! Just not fond of people talking shit with no context. You sound cool though, we should hang!
GnomeDeGuerre
How much first hand experience is needed to talk about facts that aren't disputed?
oshodatwan
I would not say that they are undisputed. I’m writing this as I sit in a bar in Dubai, where I live.

one of these days the 3rd rate construction on that tower will bear its fruit.

"The hour won't happen till the unclothed, barefooted, and poor shepherds compete in having taller and taller buildings". That's SA and USE.

What game is this from?
Dontworrybesalty
Spec Ops: The Line. Gameplay functionality competent but nothing to write home about. The real draw is the story. Jump in blind if you can.
RamsesMCMXCI
Sweet, thanks. Is it a PC game?
Dontworrybesalty
It is (or was at least) on Steam and I think 360/ps3? Should be able to pick it up cheap
witalaska4
It’s a lot better than Saudi Arabia. I visited Riyadh and I was disgusted. I’d rather be in Dubai
sunnymangoes
Just because there is somewhere worse it doesn't mean Dubai is ok. Trump existing doesn't make Boris Johnson a good person, for example

But still fuck em

I always say, “could be worse than Dubai”

My parents are currently living in the United Arab Emirates in Abu Dhabi and my mom loves it over there she is treated with a lot of respect
GoofyGoobers
I also lived in Qatar and visited Dubai a lot. I’m white I was treated super well. There are people who are second class citizens however.

I worked at Sidra...tax-free and 37 days PTO were the best things

I think the U.S. and UK deserve some guilt here for importing the facilitation of Capitalism.
DukeSamuelVimes
I'd agree that the West definitely deserve some guilt for enabling it by taking their exports and the profits of their slave labour if that'
DukeSamuelVimes
s what you're trying to say, but bloody hell try to be a bit more clear on it.

For what? And, you may want to argue that claim, including proportionality.

UK Security Exclusivity Agreement 1892, Chicago Bridge and Iron Co., BOAC backed by UK Firms all establishing firm roots in the UAE.

Exactly for a country that still treats women like second-class citizens we should not visit there as tourists or enjoy it any in any way.
Screwdelicious
You are mistaken for Saudi Arabia. Dubai and SA are not the same thing.

not just thee women. foreign workers get even worse, the Dubai ppl. are arseholes

Yeah, was shocked to learn that rape victims get arrested as well.
