How long can we go before we start treating online stuff like real stuff? Why is my car protected from theft but my data isn't?
I asked that, because we always get that from most western people. Western media which is being watched all over the world shape us in a certain way, while they play a role in keeping our countries as it is. You just want to bully and cancel an Arab my friend because you hate us, that's all.
I hope to visit more Arab countries soon and make more friends there.
> I lived 3-15 months each in more than 10 countries.
Is that supposed to mean that you know those countries more than natives?
You’re completely out of context. I’m just replying to the parent suggesting I don’t engage with the cultures.
All I need to tell you is that I’ve been stared at, followed, called names, harassed in a number of countries, and many of them were Arab. Go figure.
I am not sure who is full of hatered here, telling me to go f myself while I am trying to say my understanding about a place I know more than you do.
“Are you western?” is not an acceptable start. How would you like it if I started my comment with: “Are you black?” — regardless of whether you are, which is my point.
I've travelled back and forth from Dubai for business and other emirates and countries and never had that experience.
When you say "fact being told", you actually mean "anecdote being shared".
Nothing from my experience indicates an automatic feeling of hatred towards me and my wife when going to these countries. In fact, the opposite.
And don't get me wrong. I have my issues with these countries and their governments, just like I have my issues with many other countries, but that doesn't mean you dismiss the entire population.
Maybe it's time you engaged with the cultures. I'm sure it'll be "No thanks". Surprise me.
I’ll surprise you: English is not my first language, I haven’t been in my home country since 2015, I speak 3 languages fluently, I’m currently living in Indonesia and can already speak my fourth language (although not well). I lived 3-15 months each in more than 10 countries.
You got the wrong person. I know what I’m talking about because I’ve lived it.
Your comment reflects your lack of knowledge about us.
I don't hate western people for being western or white. I respect a lot of them and would love to learn from them.
Some places are more welcoming because people have more knowledge about dealing with foreigners and know more about their culture. So it comes back to education and being open to other cultures as I said, which dictators will never care about. They take money and weapons from you, then tell the people a lot of nonsense about you. People don't really know you. Then when someone tries to tell you this, you say your comment is full of assumptions and hatred.
Also, your media plays a big role in making people see us like animals, watch "bad reel arabs" and it should tell you more about that.
I’m talking out of my own experience in Africa, Asia and South America. I don’t go flashing out money around and I know exactly how I’m seen and how I’m treated in every place I’ve lived in. And no, I‘ve never been in a resort and I live in local housing trying to learn the language. So kindly go f yourself.

It’s so hard to step out the Apple ecosystem when these other manufacturers have consistently screwed me over with repairs.
I’m specifically calling out Dell, Samsung and LG here. All were utterly terrible experiences.
Dell was the absolute worst though. They sold me a $1,700+ XPS notebook that months later had a non-functional trackpad, and they refused to do anything to rectify the situation. With an investment that large I need certainty that I can get support, and thus far Apple is the only PC OEM that has provided that.
If anyone can suggest non-Apple OEMs that at least provide a competitive support experience, I’m all ears.
How is that not covered by the standard, mandated 1-year warranty? Did they pull the same BS described in the article?
Apple is no saint for this kind of stuff either though, I still remember the red humidity marker in the headphone jack that denied repairs to many people because of “water damage” (which was actually just sweat, probably)
