Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Remember to not behave like you're gay kids!

You have to respect people. You don't have to respect ideas.

Passively expressing disinterest in another's ideas is part of the very nature of humanity, and is absolutely not disrespect.

Top of my list of things to not do is visit Qatar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

This place sounds boring as fuck. What a bunch of squares.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

My gay buddy wants to go to Dubai I'm like bruh they don't drink, arrest gays, and it's a fucking cardboard movie set city. It's omega lame af.

Just go to Vietnam or Thailand instead. Great food, cheap af, and they party.

Thats a weird-ass Yakuza NPC if I ever saw one.

People play too many games with their lives. If a government is telling me not to go to their country, I interpret that as a threat.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I mean it is in every way a threat. There's a silent "or else" at the end.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

The coolest of cool guides.

Things you can do: slavery

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Alternatively you can also avoid going to countries with no respect for human rights. Act in a way that if everyone else did too it would have an actual impact on the world. Be the change.

It come from the troll man in reddit, dont be idiots please

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Elaborate on which part or parts is actually completely safe to do in Qatar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I was a drunk gay in Qatar.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

That seems dangerous. Why did you do it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Damn, I think I'd break 6-7 of these just by going to the beach.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Damn

Straight to jail.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

What to do: never go to the middle east without an armored battalion backing you up.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What not to do in Qatar:
-come

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I think that's covered in "dating" unless you want to do it by yourself.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Don’t count out the DIY crowd

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Sounds kind homoish to me though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Cool, an intolerant place i wont ever go.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm not inheritly against different cultures wanting to maintain their values, but I definitely wish people could freely enter and leave their culture.

In the case of Qatar, I can imagine not many women would be interested in staying if it was super easy to switch cultures, but at the same time cultures around the world are beautiful, even if different, and it's a shame that they can't be preserved.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Cultures evolve like anything else. Even language is constantly evolving. Preserving cultures is for museums, not for a growing society. I think that's part of the reason we are in such a shitty place everywhere. 2024 and there's still racist homophobic idiots everywhere trying to preserve the "good ol days"

No dating? How do they reproduce?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Your parents match you, an Imam marries you, then the Emir impregnates the wife.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Have you seen their population diagram? They import.

(Yes, I know, it's more complex than that.)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

I wonder if it's meant to contrast to a "chaste courtship" sort of thing. Just a wild guess, though.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Glorified rape

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Two words, arranged marriage.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

One word, rape.

Sounds like a really shitty place to visit

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Realistically there are two reasons you're going there, one is because you have a business obligation or potential contract which incentivizes going there, and two is because you got conned by tourist bait ads that try to hush hush all this stuff because it drives people away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

3rd you need a connection flight

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fourth is you're an influencer and are getting paid to let them shit in your mouth.

Yes, this is a thing that happens. Google "Dubai porta potty"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Google “Dubai porta potty”

You can't make me do that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Third is you're an influencer and don't want to pay taxes.

Addendum -- What not to do: "Visit Qatar."
