I've been wanting to join an offline d&d campaign for a long while but I have no girls to play d&d with, l've convinced my friends to get into d&d but we're only 3 people with no dm and l'm obviously not comfortable playing with men, so, any girls here into d&d and interested in starting a campaign? Also I should note that me and my friends are on the younger side if that bothers you

I’ve posted about this situation few days back and I’m honestly exhausted with this whole situation and I’m wondering if it’s even worth going through the process of filing a complaint or taking further action.
I recently resigned from my company in Kuwait. There was some discussion regarding my notice period, and I had clearly told them that I was willing to serve the full 3-month notice period if required. However, I was later informed that Wednesday would be my last working day and was asked to start handing over my responsibilities and to transfer my visa within a week. Got this confirmed on WhatsApp chats as well for proof.
Since then, I’ve been trying to get clarity regarding my final settlement, pending salary, and passport. My salary has still not been paid, and my final settlement hasn’t been completed either. I’ve followed up with HR multiple times, but I’m either not getting a response or I’m not getting a clear answer about when the payment will actually be released.
At this point, I’m tired of constantly having to chase them for money that I’m owed. I’m also in the middle of transferring my residency, so I need the relevant documents and settlement to be sorted out so I can move forward.
For anyone who has dealt with something similar in Kuwait:
What did you do when your company stopped responding or delayed your salary/final settlement?
Did you file a complaint with PAM?
How long did the process actually take?
Were you actually successful in getting your salary/settlement?
Did the company eventually pay after you filed the complaint?
Was it worth going through the process, or was it just more stress and waiting?
What documents/evidence should I make sure I have before taking any action?
I’m honestly at the point where I just want this to be over and move on, but I also don’t want to simply give up money that I’m legally entitled to.
If anyone has actually gone through PAM and successfully recovered their salary or settlement from their employer, please share your experience. I’d really like to know if pursuing this is genuinely worth it.

Hi! I’m from North Macedonia/Albania and I’m interested in visiting Kuwait alone in November.
I know people say Kuwait is “boring”, but honestly I don’t mind. I’ve been to other Gulf countries before and I’d mainly like to see the city, try the food, visit some museums and historical places related to the Iraqi invasion, and visit Failaka Island. (maybe also the Bubiyan and Warbah Islands, if that is possible?)
I’d also love to do a desert trip.
Can I easily do these things alone, or would it be better to find a local tour guide? I would also appreciate any other ideas to explore Kuwait.
Thanks!
Howdy! Where do I buy tickets to watch the Kuwait League games? Also, how much do they cost on average?

Hi, I just received my Cambridge IGCSE Statement of Results for the May/June 2026 exams.
British Council Kuwait has already authenticated it and confirmed that it is a genuine document. I will get the actual certificates later.
My school advised me to get the SOR attested by the Kuwait Ministry of Education and then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Has anyone done this before?
I want to know:
I know the final certificate will come later. I just want to know if I can officially attest the SOR now.
Thanks!

Hello all,
I have an XBOX Elite Series II Controller, and was wondering if anyone knows someone in Rihab Complex that could fix stick drift, perhaps replace buttons with mechanical ones etc? Someone that is good at what he does.
And, if you know anyone, please share details!
Much appreciated.

I already have a valid MOH nursing license. I can download the certificate from the MOH website, but it comes in the older format without a QR code/barcode.
In the Sahel app, I can see my nursing license details, but it only shows the information as text. I can’t find any option to download or generate the official digital certificate.
I’ve seen many people using the newer Sahel/MOH digital certificates with a QR code/barcode, so I’m wondering if there’s a specific option or process to get this version.
Has anyone managed to download their nursing license certificate with the QR code/barcode from Sahel? If yes, could you please explain how?
Thanks!

Single Kuwaiti men, how are you actually meeting potential partners outside the traditional khu6ba/family route?
I’m a Kuwaiti woman from a pretty conservative family, and that route has just never really appealed to me. I have some beliefs that aren’t exactly the norm, so certain things aren’t the easiest to bring up early in the process with potential suitors. It can feel like a waste of everyone’s time since they’re deal-breakers for me (╥﹏╥)
So aside from friends setting you up with their friends, how are you actually meeting women and seeing if there’s potential for something serious? And what do you think of places like r/KuwaitMarriage and r/KuwaitSingles; Would you genuinely consider using either of those to meet someone?

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on Kuwaiti folklore and came across the famous story of wedding singer Noura Al-Taqaqa (نورة الطقاقة) performing for Jinn in the late 90s.
I did a basic Google search which basically says it's not real and that it just originated from an old tabloid magazine story. However, I wanted to skip the generic internet answers and ask actual Kuwaiti people who might remember that era or have heard about it from family.Did locals actually talk about this back in the 90s as it was happening, or did it only become a big deal recently because of social media?
Did Noura Al-Taqaqa really exist, and did she actually quit singing because of a specific scary incident?
Would love to know what the real local consensus is on this. Thanks!

I do not know why, but all of a sudden I remembered this forum. It was popular back in the day, I met a couple of cool people from it too.
I might be too old, but does anyone else remember it?

I have an old 2014 prado, never had major service unfortunately and its at 190k km right now. Ofc I do the mandatory oil change every 7-9k and oil filter. Everything else gets changed or fixed when necessary. I was thinking of doing major service at al sayer since its the most guaranteed but worried about pricing being way too steep. I was either gonna take it to somewhere like bumper to bumper or challenger garage, or even called up alomar to inquire about the prices of the parts i believe need changing. Such as the serpentine belt, spark plugs, all filters, cleaning fuel injector or changing the rings and the parts came to about 100kd and lets add about 50kd for the mechanic’s labor and oil/filter change so thats about 150kd. But i always come back to debating if since its a major service i do it at alsayer cuz its guaranteed to be genuine or outside. Anyone here knows what the prices are like at al sayer nowadays. I have no complaints or issues with the car other than it steers to the right but thats not a big issue and i want it to last me at least a 100k more. Thanks in advance.

Im 38, single and lately getting bored of working from home once a week. Was wondering if there are any cafes in town where people prefer working from? Would be great if there was a place where you can meet socilaize and work. Dont have any friends here either so thought of maybe working from a cafe and meeting others who would also like to meet up and hang out while working.
