I like to talk about watches

The Badlands of the Pothohar Plateau, Rawalpindi, Punjab, circa 1928.

Trump praises Pakistan's Asim Munir:

I call him the General. He is a general. He is a great general—so great that he is actually a field marshal, a step above.

[Usama | اسامہ @usamakbhatti]

Everyone in Pakistan, except Central/Northern Punjab and Karachi, is convinced there's a gazillion dollars' worth of minerals buried under their feet. Meanwhile, the places with no such grand delusions actually get things done and keep the whole country afloat.

There's something dark and funny about it. The poorer a region gets, the more elaborate the fantasies become. You watch people in these areas weave grand stories about hidden wealth, resources that'll save them someday, Turn them into something akin to Gulf Kafeels, who'll spend evenings chilling and reading their 8000-year histories.

Someone should study this properly that how desperation and delusion feed each other.

[Hamza🗽🌐🏙️💹 @schitcoin]

This is the norm across the Muslim world and other bastions of Third Worldism, where people are broadly incapable of thinking beyond resource extraction as a means to pursue economic progress. Muslims are thus divided into shitholes and non-shitholes, with the former only being based in and around the prosperous oil fields of the Gulf.

How do you get rich without extracting oil, minerals, or a bunch of fruit and vegetables from your land? Most people are too stupid or too illiterate to think beyond that question.

And so for them, everything from US foreign policy to their own state’s security policy comes down to a fantastical obsession with natural resources, which are usually not even that valuable (e.g. Balochistan).

Over time, this obsession becomes regurgitated and repeated into a form of “My Truth,” and accepted by well-intentioned members of the outgroup who want to express their sympathies for the shittier conditions that the They Are Stealing Our Resources gang live in.

I wish a lot more people understood this incredibly simple concept

@horrorandspice6 I remember your time in NL
Horrible stuff
Especially that small room

Rare flex but I got me accommodation in Berlin over a single phone call

[kinocow @kinocow]

Everyday in this hell of a flatsearch I hear a quite common Berlin flat story - couple broke up months ago but cannot move out because they can't find flats. And the desperation only increases. I think this is a potential startup idea: a flat swap for couples who broke up.

[Jasir Shahbaz @LahoreMarquez]

PML N is a Punjab based party or just Central & North, they have never tried serioulsy to make in roads in a metropolitan like Karachi or Peshawar. They can't get their heads out of sand of "biraadari", "family", uska bhai, uska samadhi, uska damaad. It's a family run business

[Wifi Money Plant @WifiMoneyPlant]

What people quoting these don’t understand is that almost every one of these yachts is owned by families compounding their wealth for centuries

Warren Buffett type shit but on steroids

You simply cannot beat it by “locking in” for a year or two

[Europe Defender 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @oroborous]

Fun fact: Lidl has his own freight shipping company. Tailwind Shipping Line was founded in 2022 during the Covid pandemic to reduce Lidls exposure to disruptions in the wider logistics sector.
Today, the company operates a fleet of eleven ships with a total capacity of 42,000 TEU, connecting Europe and Asia and servicing lesser used ports around the world.
The company has also commissioned the construction of 5 new ships, doubling its cargo capacity over the next few years and making it the 25th biggest such company in the world.

This city is so try hard it’s depressing

[James Jackson @derJamesJackson]

No one wants to admit it, but Deutsche Bahn killed it with the ICE design

[dom @ryiacy]

it's cool how middle-class british people are opposed to racism primarily on the grounds that it's low-class

[Kashan Ahmed @_kaeshh]

How are you as a man okay with your wife being financially handicapped?

[Hassan Bey @Fittaymuh]

This girl isn’t happy with her husband right after marriage because she’s not getting her monthly 30k pocket money which is meant for things like premma/anhaar milk, occasional foodpanda orders under rs1000 and parlour expenses for facepolish hair treatments and pedicures. 🤦🏻

[Linaa 🏴‍☠️🏴 @LinaaKhan__]

They wouldn’t agree to their own sisters marrying a man earning 40k a month, yet they expect a wife who will manage everything on that income, stay satisfied, and never make any demands or complaints.
Ajeeb bakwas hai.

[Shay 🇵🇰 #FixKarachi @PakiSwift]

If you condemn settler apartheid violence against innocent Palestinians in the West Bank you should condemn bullshit like this when it happens in your own country.

the cig goes harder than any pipe anyway

[Kashan Ahmed @_kaeshh]

Friend just reached out to ask if there’s any issue flying with a new Rolex Submariner since I took ‘5 watches with me’

I was carrying Seikos and this guy is travelling with $15,000 on his wrist
