it makes me so sad that people are blaming this young girl who was trying to achieve her goals. the average pakistani university has zero career counselling. professors will NOT help you. you don’t know what to do once you’re thrown into postgrad life. i had zero guidance—
Laiba Ijaz didn't commit suicide just because her admission turned out to be fake, but because she was certain that filing a police case would be useless and the money was gone forever. It had more to do with her distrust in Pakistani criminal justice system
Some of us here have been consistently raising alarm bells for the last four years that the country has already collapsed, and that what will follow is death, destruction, and devastation for the people.
And throughout that time, we were mocked for spreading "pessimism" in society, while the regime and its enablers in the media, academia, and NGOs couldn’t stop cheering fake geopolitical wins, SIFC's, crypto schemes, global relevance, and Trump’s pat on the back.
My concern isn’t simply that the regime is downright corrupt and criminal; it’s primarily that they are philosophically so dead that they have neither the intention nor the imagination to deliver any good for 240 million people.
Our only hope now is that by the time they are done, there is something left of the country.
Hunza could have been the Bali of Pakistan. It could have attracted tens of billions of dollars in tourism revenue if the state capitalised on its natural beauty and cultural openness.
Unfortunately, the state did not even provide water, electricity or paved roads to the people of Hunza or their guests. You open a tap in regular homes and you get blackish water. Electricity doesn’t come for most hours of the day. Even the main road of Karimabad is full of potholes. It would cost a small percentage of the cost of a single Gulfstream recently bought for one Chief Minister’s travel to provide these basic facilities to the people of Hunza, but the state continued to ignore one of its most valuable cultural gems.
Tourists still came, despite the bad roads and despite the lack of basic facilities because of the openness of Hunza. It didn’t feel like Pakistan. Most people drank. Hunza Water was rather easy to get. It was culturally and socially accepted. Women could wear what they wanted without being judged. People sang and danced in the mountains as if they provided a sanctuary from the judgemental norms which plagued the majority of mainstream Pakistan. In Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, the elites have access to everything, and nothing can stop them. But in Hunza, everybody was allowed to have fun. Social class was much more fluid, it didn’t matter who you were as long as you were respectful.
Tolerance was Hunza’s most attractive trait, since it is in short supply in the rest of Pakistan.
But now, that too is changing. A video of some tourists dancing has been spread as if some grave and moral travesty has taken place. The intolerant mindset of mainstream Pakistan is finally permeating in some people of Hunza. An influencer based in Hunza, who has posted his own videos drinking abroad has called for moral outrage over a video of tourists dancing and purportedly drinking. An event like this is considered normal in most parts of the civilised world, but in Pakistan, where bombs explode in mosques and children don’t eat enough, we take offence at people having fun.
The hotel where the party happened was sealed, and the state supported the moral outrage of some self righteous and self appointed guardians of the moral landscape of the mountains.
Maybe this is why we don’t deserve tourism. The billions of Dollars are better spent elsewhere, where people won’t be judged for trying to have a good time. Where having a beer is not considered a conundrum. Where enjoying music is not a grave moral dilemma.
Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkey, UAE and many other Muslim countries have embraced tolerance, but in Pakistan, where Muslims can’t stop killing Muslims, we are outraged by a rooftop party in the mountains.
My theory is that post World Cup year if Carrick actually forced the players to try and break them in pre season to bring their fitness up, we’d have more injuries that would mean missing many of these players for the start of the season. He is managing potential injuries without jeopardising our whole season. Also why he is giving them more rest. It’s a gamble. If he gets to stick around it will pay off big time towards the latter part of the season.
milletin üzerine işediği, boşaldığı ve yaladığı kadınlarla nasıl sikişiyosunuz amk midesizleri. bu karının ağzına kim bilir kaç kere boşaldılar. Namussuz şerefsizler.
Eskort siken adam acizdir ve gurursuzdur çok net.
Orospu siken de en az orospu kadar aşağılıktır.
Everyone romanticizes this scene as sweet domestic bliss, but it’s quietly the most tragic setup in the movie.
Tony was the only Avenger who actually found peace during the Blip, he built a family, survived his trauma, and got out clean. Cap, Nat, and Scott showing up at his porch wasn’t just asking for help, it was essentially asking a retired man to put his offspring's and his own life on the line to fix a catastrophe caused by the team failing to listen to him years prior. He gave up everything so everyone else could get their lives back.
May 26: Amorim gaslighted us into believing these players weren’t good enough. We’d have won the league if Carrick had have been here at the start of the season
September 26: Carrick’s been let down by the board. The squad needs a complete overhaul, they only bought 3 players
Great work by Sully, as always, but there is one piece there which is a contradiction and I don’t agree with Sully and others :
“Ruben Amorim was backed more than Carrick” but when they talk about what Carrick achieved, they’ll say “The squad was thin and needed real quality to challenge for what was going to be a tough season”.
When it’s Amorim, he was backed by INEOS and the team had the quality to finish in a CL spot but when it’s Carrick, the squad was thin and he achieved more then the squad was able?
This makes 0 sense and it just shows the subjectivity when people talk about a foreign coach they don’t like and a former United player.
