I could explain the whole dichotomy to you, in fine detail in fact, but you would never understand any of it. Why? Because you're too shallow. Well, here is something very basic that you might be able to grasp: One size doesn't fit all.
Woke, simp, snowflake, etc. More of the pathetic and rhetorical vocabulary that evolved in the USA after the birth of the MAGA disease. I have never met anybody personally who uses those words, thank goodness.
Trump and his kool-aid stricken cult followers are more deluded and pathetic than even the 5 top buffoons that post the most nonsensical rubbish on AN.
Been there a number of times. I don't rate Dubai at all. Zero local culture. Another place like Vegas in the desert with flashy hotels, expensive restaurants, and nothing of substance. Foreigners make up something like 80% of the population. The place is like one big airport business class lounge.
Prepared meal delivery services in Thailand are great. Get meals delivered every 4 days. High quality and good value. Prepared in a food prep facility, which is much cleaner than any restaurant kitchens. Just a couple of minutes to heat up the meals in the microwave and never get food poisoning anymore. Best thing ever to happen to the food delivery industry.
