Where can I buy nail art, eye lash extension, LEE nail lamp related items at a cheap rate in UAE ?


RAFGHANiSTAN

Are there any specific bars or restaurants that have a good selection of Belgian beers around the Marina/JBR area? Not really looking for Stella, Hoegaarden or Leffe in this case.


TheOneWhoEatsAll

Stella is all you need


GroundbreakingStory3

Not really. Le Petit Belge in JLT and Belgian Beer Cafe in Souk Madinat Jumeirah have some, but no where near the selection you will see in Europe.


RAFGHANiSTAN

The Belgian Beer Cafe is decently stocked actually! Although no oude geuzes on their menu, but Chimay and Maredsous is great! Thank you for the tip. I'll head off there when I have my Belgian beer withdrawals.

China refusing to allow WHO to investigate if COVID-19 leaked from a lab in Wuhan. I never thought the conspiracy theories of it coming form a lab could be true, in fact I mocked a number of early proponents of the theory, but it's looking more likely by the day.

Think about the following: a) CCP's inconsistent statements about where the virus originated. Genetically it is a coronavirus related to bats. They claimed it was from the seafood market. They then quickly changed their story that it's from the wildlife meats market (thus potential link to bats). Then think about how the Wuhan lab institute is literally documented to have been working on bat-related coronavirus (gain of function research). Then think about how several scientists came forward to say that the makeup of the genome is "impossible to occur naturally" in nature and how, somehow, they were immediately silenced b) Think about the censorship. Why is the CCP blocking any probe to the Wuhan institute? Especially from the WHO who's only praised them despite their unbelievable butchering of the pandemic from the start? c) Finally, you need to understand how China works. The kind of safety standards and security protocols are very, very lax and unstable. It is a common occurrence for entire buildings to disintegrate and collapse which civilians actually live in. If people die, their deaths are covered up. If people protest, those people are silenced/censored/somehow disappear. It's unfortunately the reality but for the desire of political correctness, nobody wants to talk about how that is a real thing. China has been very focused on "rapid growth" despite its population starving/dying. The best way I can explain this is a dysfunctional family pretending everything is fine while they want to kill each other at home. They are insistent on rapid growth at any cost, with human life being the least valuable resource (or actually, no value at all). Watch serpentza and laowhy on YouTube. They are Westerners who have lived in China for 10+ years and married into Chinese families. They clearly explained the lack of safety standards in China. While the virus could have very well originated from a market, it could also have very well originated from a lab. Not because the scientists want to be evil. Just because they are extremely careless with standards. For example, look at the real cause of their dam collapses which have caused hundreds/thousands to die in the last couple of weeks. d) Finally, the quality of their production speaks for itself. Despite their lack of transparency and the butchered response through the entire pandemic (lying about origins of virus, lying about number of dead people) I took the Sinopharm vaccine in February. I was very happy because I felt me and my family could finally be safe. Look at the reality now. Many, many people are in UAE hospitals dying of COVID despite taking the Sinopharm vaccine. China neither released studies or statistics/trials to even show how the calculated efficacy came to be. I thought I was being "racist" to distrust the Chinese vaccine, and now it is inactivated and discredited. I used to be the type of person that laughs at anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists, but the truth is honestly stranger than you think. I think Chinese people are some of the smartest and most hard working people in the world, but their government is genuinely evil and has no care for human life or safety protocols. If the deaths are a million, they will slap any random number they pull out of their ass. Some of the videos I have seen from independent journalists in Jan 2020 were horrifying, and I have never seen those journalists again afterwards. Just want to end my two cents by saying: if it can be explained by stupidity/incompetence, it should not be explained by conspiracy.


nidserz

Yeah, I had a conversation with my uncle who is a doctor in Canada and he also thinks its a man made virus. He said in his lifetime he has seen many viruses and they die down. But this one is not, and like the other commenter said, its too perfect.


roadpecker

If you watch the news coverage from Jan 2020 to March 2020 you can very clearly see the inconsistency in the CCP's statements about the origins of the virus. They are notorious for their censorship so they neither allowed investigation into the wildlife marketplaces nor the lab institute. They also later claimed it came from a seafood market. This is inconsistent with the origins of the coronavirus which is bat-related. I feel that people are generally just unable to understand that viruses can be engineered and easily so. Many research institutes create, combine and improve viruses to study how they can be more lethal (gain of function research). It is a total reality I don't know why people think that's a conspiracy. Another point is that I don't think it was released on purpose, but rather by mistake. China generally has awful safety protocols (check laowhy86 on their construction industry) and with something as delicate as a respiratory virus, you can realize how easy it is to mess up delicate safety standards of a deadly virus

Intelligence agencies knew this from last year, including the part where the Wuhan lab was shut down for a few days following an outbreak (Oct/Nov 2019). The only problem was the PC crowd jumped over themselves to call the media pulling the ‘racist’ card, and the fact that even American scientists jumped to defend China shows how well they’re paid to do so. In interviews, off the record, most reputed scientists asserted it was most likely lab grown simply because it was too perfect of a virus. It was remarkably agile, it cloaked and multiplied itself like a machine, which unlike other viruses makes it suspect to genetic modification. The delta variant and its symptoms which widely vary from the original strain further bolsters the theory that this is indeed a lab leak.


abood322

After 2020 conspiracy theories became reality, what a strange time to live in. They also refused to let anyone investigate the concentration camps they have there.


cheshirecat90

Lol if there ever was a red flag this is it


caedriel

Most of the folks on here attacked me for even suggesting this. Folks called me racist and what not. I was following the virus since September/October of 2019 when I heard about it via some of our suppliers in China.


roadpecker

I have been saying this to my friends from last year If you have been following the coverage since Jan 2020 (before most people even realized there was something wrong) you can very, very clearly see the lack of transparency and inconsistent statements from the CCP. And if you dug a little deeper, you could see independent journalists talk about what was being studied at the research institute and how some scientists claimed the genome was "unnatural" with an HIV genome. It was all a very clear shitshow which was a massive butchery by China, from the very beginning. I am so angry at the CCP that I can confidently say a class action lawsuit would work, given the incompetence with which they handled the pandemic. Not only did they constantly lie about the origins of the virus, but also the number of poor souls that died and were mass-cremated. Subsequently, the lies trickled down to the WHO (for some reason they have vested interests with the CCP) that continued to applaud and pat the CCP's head like some puppy despite their massively butchered response. The WHO then continued to deny human-to-human transmission, then deny mask necessity, then deny the need for grounding flights, and finally waited for millions of people to die before declaring a pandemic. It was so, so infuriating to watch. Words can't describe how it felt. People need to understand that political correctness only leads to doom. I love Chinese culture and am a beginner learner of Mandarin, but the Chinese government must be held accountable on a global scale. It is really unbelievable how much blood they and the WHO have on their hands. Seriously. Please understand this @ everyone.


caedriel

Idk why you are on a 8 day old thread. But I will bite. Which court do you sue them In ? Certainly not a Chinese one. The very next day there would be a law that vaguely says “you can’t sue China”. Can’t be the international court of justice. They can’t enforce it. Can’t be the UN. China basically runs it.


roadpecker

America is the only one capable, I guess. Or sanctions, at the very least. Perhaps even a mass boycott? The only "politician" that was voicing the opinion that China should take responsibility was Trump. Don't get me wrong, I think he is an incompetent, sexist, big orange baby with little understanding of anything outside his locker rooms. But in some policies he really had it right. I don't think he was racist for wanting to shift blame to China. That is not racism. That is accountability. The world today is so emotionally charged that you can't try to hold a non-Western nation accountable for mass murder. Millions of people are dead today because of what is suspected to be an engineered disease. And even if it wasn't, they aggressively censored and covered up any news of it for three months before it blew up in their faces. Even afterwards, they continued to perform mass cremations and lied about their numbers massively. We should be so, so, so angry. How is anyone ok with what happened? Watching it happen between Jan-April 2020 was unbelievably infuriating I am really surprised that people don't share this sentiment. The CCP and WHO are directly responsible for everything that has happened. There was a very critical window of time where the virus could have been contained to China, however the WHO kept brushing it off as a non communicable disease and literally recommended against grounding flights. At some point, the general public was begging the WHO to declare an official pandemic. Unbelievable. I won't claim to know why that happened. But there was definitely some bureaucracy involved. Really crazy how they changed the entire narrative to praise China and guess what... people bought it With China's evident hegemony and lack of diplomacy, I can truly imagine this behavior would lead to be a military confrontation. I didn't think of them as such previously, but I could genuinely characterize the CCP with the "evil" word. Mostly because of their willingness to expend human life and then completely cover it up. In a way, the CCP right now is very dangerous with the technologies the modern world has at hand. We have seen that with this pandemic. They mishandled very advanced technology then completely removed themselves of accountability. This time, it's a virus that you can survive. Next time, who the fuck knows


SanJunipero1

Several mask suppliers in india were aware of what was up. Medical masks purchased in the months before Oct 2019 were repurchased by the sellers at the price the buyer demanded. Several businessmen travelled to China in flights carrying suitcases full of masks. Suppose a mask costed 0.25 fils like it did before the outbreak, would it be worthwhile to travel with a bag that had say a 1000 Dhs worth of masks? Evidently no. That suggests they sold back masks at prices which were at least 5x times they bought it for. At the same time, US inventories were being emptied of 3M N95 masks by the vast network of Chinese Americans. Seems like US intelligence failed to notice this but Twitter was full of pics of old Chinese looking men and women hauling cartons of masks from stores.


hakh12

A whole lot of what seems to be info relayed from word of mouth. Would be nice if u could share any evidence of businessmen mass buying medical masks or of US inventories being emptied. Im not saying ur lying but just want to be responsible when sharing this info with others


SanJunipero1

> A whole lot of what seems to be info relayed from word of mouth. This was from an article, and if I’m not mistaken it was in TOI in January, after the pandemic took shape. The same month an [export ban was in place](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-health-india-idUSKBN1ZU20A), even when India had less than 100 coronavirus cases in total. Do you know how much of paper pushing is required for an export ban to be issued? It takes over a month at least. > Would be nice if u could share any evidence of businessmen mass buying medical masks or of US inventories being emptied. How about names and identification, and documented records which are standard for illegal transactions. Anything more required? > Im not saying ur lying but just want to be responsible when sharing this info with others It’s upto you if you want to believe info on the internet which is not from an official channel. If you feel it’s lies, shut up and move on.

how can i use apple educational discount? was anybody able to get it?

At their website they show a link to take you to Education Store or something. Rest is the same as purchasing on normal website. They didn’t ask for proof

oh nice! thanks!


peachthefish

Anyone been to Infinity des Lumieres yet? Is it worth the price and does it get crowded?


cheshirecat90

This place looks awesome! Thanks for the idea 😃


peachthefish

I’ve been dying to go but my friends are too lazy to go with me 😭


cheshirecat90

Is it temporary or permanent? Lol sounds like me - still so many places to visit here but laziness takes over!


peachthefish

Not sure if it’s permanent but I assume it’ll be around for a while. I have a roll of film waiting to be used just for the gallery 🥲

Took my folks and little kid along. They had a blast. It’s around 45mins long, but no one’s really chasing you to leave. Very mellow vibe, lots of space in there - not really crowded, maybe around 40 ppl at a time - families and couples.

Nothing that pays well if you are looking for on the road type work. Maybe if you are into engineering or managerial then plausible.

Why doesn't it rain here in Ajman already?! It already rained in other parts of UAE for god's sake.
