      I think this is hilarious. People who help enable such a terrible country and actively promote it don’t get any sympathy. I’ll save that for the slaves unable to leave.

          Go to the regional subreddits. They’re dominated by expats, and I bet you’ll rediscover your sense of schadenfreude right quick.

            You right, can you link me to the reddit where the slaves used to build and maintain Dubai are speaking about their evacuations ?

                  No, I’m saying they’re pieces of shit who chose to live in a slave city, and have no problem abandoning their pets.

                  So no matter how many bombs fall, I will never feel sorry for those expats.

    I’ve noticed that high tech AI generates photorealistic images in ways that reveal a lot of complexion details that most consumer phones hide. Zoom in, look at those big blotchy freckles.

      5 years ago I would’ve thought that fabricating a convincing face would be difficult and fabricating a lamp post would be easy, but here we are.

      As a dirty American, we just borrow schadenfreude from German usually in my experience.

      There are English phrases that approximate it - like “taking enjoyment in another’s misery” but not really a word, at least one I can think of.
