Not going to pretend this is confirmed. I came across this as an unverified/"confidential" claim, not an official announcement, so take it with a grain of salt. But given the direction things have been going (the national firewall rollout, Telegram being blocked on and off since 2017, Signal getting hit with intermittent blocks through 2024-2025), it doesn't feel like a totally random rumor either. Feels more like "where this is heading" than "breaking news."

So even if the specific timeline is wrong, I think it's worth actually talking through: if WhatsApp goes the way of Telegram/Signal, what do we switch to?

Yesterday, I was applying for jobs through linkedin, and I left my laptop open while I went downstairs to grab food. Big mistake. My 16-year-old brother decided it would be top-tier comedy to "looksmax" my work experience section before I got back.

He replaced all of my standard corporate bullet points with pure brainrot:

Demonstrated leadership under pressure" became "Absolute alpha energy, completely unbothered, maintained maximum aura during high-stress situations.

Managed budget efficiently" turned into "Never got cooked by expenses, zero delulu spending, 100% no cap.

Under my core skills, he deleted everything and wrote: "Unspoken Rizz & Advanced Yapping."
I came back, blindly exported the file to PDF without double-checking, and quick-applied to about ten companies.

I was ready to accept my fate until an hour ago when a recruiter actually emailed me back. Her exact words: "Your resume is entirely unhinged, but our hiring manager is dying to meet you."

I have an interview lined up for tomorrow morning. I am technically locked in, but mentally I am deeply cooked. How do I walk into this room, own the joke, and still convince them I am a functional human being without dying of cringe on the spot?

1 September — 5th Death Anniversary of Syed Ali Shah Geelani

Five years since the passing of the Supreme Leader of the Kashmir. His courage, sacrifices and lifelong struggle remain an inspiration. He stood firm on his convictions until his final days, never surrendering his cause.

His struggle lives on. His legacy will never fade.

I work as a lead front-end developer for UK based consultancy. Most of the people are from India, management and some people are from London.

We have a new client and I am in team creating stubb repos to demo and if client is okay we get the whole project.

We would need to hire around 15 people with claude, ofcourse they cannot be hired in the UK due to costs. One of the delivery head who is a UK guy, hementioned the costs in India are also high these days. Around 60 percent of the UK market.

Since I didn't have much say, I just suggested pakistan, Indian manager suddenly started saying things like data secrecy and terrorism lists will scare the client. He also said financially there would be sanctions and you don't know which terrorist entity you would be dealing with. The delivery head also agreed.

Is there anything we could do to fix this problem other than the obvious.

Purely from a business point of view :

As someone who lived in the Middle East for 20+ years, this is just my observation from a business perspective, not me saying Pakistan is better overall.

Why?

• 250M+ people - massive market and a huge playing field.
• Low barrier to entry - you don’t need a fortune just to get started.
• Side hustles are actually possible - small businesses, brokering, middleman work, etc.
can be started without the heavy setup costs you see elsewhere.

In the Middle East, especially as an expat, doing business on the side can be a whole different ball game. Business registrations can start at around
7–10k riyals (5–8 lakh PKR), and if you’re caught operating without the proper setup, the fines can be brutal.

Pakistan has its problems, but when it comes to starting from zero and getting into the game, I’ll take Pakistan.

P.S. This is strictly Pakistan vs Middle East.
I can’t speak for anywhere else.

I’m thinking of doing online business for abaya selling and other stuffs, my main hurdle is delivery from Pakistan, do they deliver world wide? And should I go for Shopify or custom website.

My main hurdle is delivery internationally rest is not an issue at all, kindly help navigate if its possible to do delivery from PK.

redesign local passports for fun whenever I get bored.
Our actual national passport looks pretty mid compared to Other countries, in my opinion
Let me know what you think of the concept!

I debited some amount from Standard Chartered ATM with my meezan debit card, the money has been deducted but the atm showed me error in transaction. I got no cash and i called meezan helpline and they provided me with the complaint number. It has been more than 24 hours, i know the money will be reverted back into my account but i am just kinda overthinking. Has this happened to anybody else?

Have you guys ever tried this site? They got coolest sneakers ever for 3-4k. I want sneakers and not 15-20k ones. So is it a legit site.
TIA

An interesting thought experiment you may want to engage in sharing your strongest opinion about Pakistan or Pakistanis you think everyone gets wrong.

Some relatives of ours are getting their daughter married soon, and I’m trying to find out if there are any legitimate organizations in Pakistan that could help them with some of the expenses.

Her father currently earns through a vegetable cart. The family was doing reasonably well around 10 years ago, but their financial situation changed quite a lot over the years and things are difficult now. The daughter also works, but her income isn’t enough to manage the wedding expenses.

They’re based in Islamabad.

I’m specifically looking for NGOs, nonprofit organizations, Zakat programs, interest-free assistance, marriage grants, or any other genuine support schemes they could apply for.

Not looking for an extravagant wedding or anything like that — just trying to find legitimate support that could make things a little easier for the family.

If anyone knows organizations that actually help with cases like this, especially in Islamabad/Rawalpindi, I’d really appreciate the names or application process

Hi Everyone, as the title suggests, I am thinking of applying for Fulbright scholarship from Pakistan for 2028 intake next year. However my cgpa is bare minimum (3.02) and I have a degree in CS. I do have two years of work experience and I am aiming to score 320+ in GRE hopefully. What are my odds or any suggestions?

I wanna start prepping right away to make up for an exceptional CGPA. The first few semesters i had some personal issues going on which costed me the grades. They were improved in later semesters but the damage was done.

I really want this. Thank you!

I don't usually post things like this, but I'm at a point where I have to ask for help, and I'd rather be honest about why.

For most of my life, my home was not a safe place. My father was extremely abusive, controlling, isolating, and at times outright frightening to live with. My mother and my siblings were locked inside our own house, had our phones taken away, and were cut off from talking to anyone, sometimes for months at a time. It reached a point where staying was no longer survivable. My mother made the decision to leave, and my siblings left with her.

Since then, my father has completely cut us off. No support, no contact, nothing.

My mother and my younger sisters have relocated to Lahore to stay with my maternal uncle. He has taken us in without hesitation, and I'm endlessly grateful for that but a household can only stretch so far. My sisters haven't been admitted to school yet because of admission costs. Everyday expenses - food, basic needs - are stretched thin for everyone in that house right now. My mom needs a job to be able to support my siblings, and I need one to help support myself and my other sibling here at LUMS.

I used to get a small monthly allowance from my father, barely enough, but something. That stopped a long time ago. I've asked friends for help just to get through some days, and I've reached a point where I can't keep asking. The last 1000 rupees I had, I gave to my sister. Right now I don't have money to buy myself a meal tomorrow . I haven't had a single proper meal in two days. I had 100 rupees left, which got me two packets of instant noodles, and that's all I've eaten. It's genuinely that urgent.

I've tried going through official channels too . I went to the FA department to ask about food vouchers, and was told it isn't something they handle, though they said they might look into it. I also spoke to STUDENT AFFAIRS DEAN who said he'd see what he could do. I'll keep following up there, but for right now, I need help.

So I'm asking directly: if anyone knows of a job opportunity for my mother any kind of role, she is capable, hardworking, and ready to start immediately please reach out. I'm happy to share her CV.

And if anyone has tutoring students, part-time work, or freelance opportunities for me . I will take almost anything right now.

This isn't easy to post. But my family needs this more than my pride does. If you can help, or know someone who can, please message me. And if you can't, sharing this post still helps enormously.

Thank you for reading this far.

In 1902, Theodor Herzl (Father of Zionism) sought to convince the British Empire to carve out a territory within in for a Jewish State. Cyprus was ruled out because there were white people there. The Zionists needed to find a territory not inhabited by white people.

Those Crimes committed by the British back then set the path for the coming Armageddon.

Another voice goes dark. Another account deactivated. Another young activist Suleiman Sohail simply disappears after daring to speak truth to power.

I am not excluding myself from it but genuinely sad what it takes? How can we change?
