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?

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!

My sister went missing last day. We have zero clue where she is. It looks like a case of eloping, with all the info we have gathered so far.

I am worried about her safety. My family have tried police but so far nothing has come out of it. We have a potential suspect, but nothing concrete.

I have some information that I am willing to share. I am overseas student. It doesn't seem like I have many options.

I have seen folks give valuable input here so I am trying my luck here. Meanwhile, if you know anyone who get get a number tracked, please let me know.

Edit: we found her. She is safe. Thank you for your kind words and prayers.

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?

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

I have muscular dystrophy and severe scoliosis(if you wanna know more about me in general just check my previous posts), started playing chess competitively in 2025 (discovered how the pieces move in 2024)and honestly never expected a competitive sport to be a part of my life growing up because of my condition and never knew about chess till I was an adult, Chess ended up changing that faster than I could’ve imagined.

Earlier this year I traveled all the way from swat to lahore for international trials, I tied for 2nd (4/5) in Pakistan’s Olympiad Qualifiers for Players with Disabilities and earned a spot on the national team for the 3rd FIDE Chess Olympiad in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, this September. Unfortunately, some issues with the previous federation leadership meant our team wasn’t able to attend this time around. It was disappointing after all the work and money that went into qualifying, but there’s a new leadership at the federation now, and I’m genuinely hopeful things will look different going forward.

Alongside that, it’s been a good year so far (went to 3 over-the-board tournaments. Going to another one this sunday wish me luck) tied 3rd (5/6) and won Best Player of the Tournament at the Shangla Chess Championship in January, and represented the University of Swat on Board 1 at the HEC Inter-University Championship 2026, finishing top 10 with a 5/7 score.

None of this really felt real until I saw myself described as an “International Coach & National Team Qualifier” recently for someone who only picked up the game seriously in 2025(still have a long way to go im no chess prodigy), that recognition means a lot. I’ve also started coaching a small group of students(mainly beginners and intermediates), including a few based abroad.

Chess wasn’t something I grew up with, and it wasn’t something I expected to be such a big part of my life. But it turned out to be the thing that gave me a shot at representing my country and in a way it made me feel normal and competitive at a sport.

Going forward, my goal is to keep improving, keep taking on stronger opposition, and hopefully represent Pakistan at the Olympiad next year now that there’s new leadership in place at the federation.

Big thanks to Wah Chess Club (@wahchessclub) for putting this feature together and giving me this recognition.

And THANK YOU for reading this far.

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.

One of my friend shares the severe flood update in Isb or Rwp ?

As the most followed sport in the country (cricket) is going down the drain, Pak Government now seriously needs to invest on esports and give these talents more & more exposure to represent our Country.

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.

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.

Getting an idea how other people earn spend and save.

I come from a frugal family. I have my own family now and live separately but my parents household expense is still around 500k with 2 kids studying in unis. 4 income streams. Basic cars. Basic home. That's what I grew up with as well. No major upgrades over the years.

My father could have lived a lot more lavish life. He has multiple properties, a rather steady business, good portfolio of funds, stocks, saving account balance. A good combination of other small bets. Altogether the assets are in range of 3-500 million PKR. He did get a decent inheritance but majority of it is his own doing.

He didn't grow up poor either but he learned this behavior from his father who came from nothing.

When i talk to some friends looks like their household expense is double or triple my parents household expense and comparatively little savings and assets. We did miss out on a lot life experiences that money could have bought. I am sometimes salty about it but at the same time it's a great feeling to have not to think about going broke ever.

So i am curious - how do you guys manage your household expenses. How much do you save and spend.

Edit: my father is retired now so the income has reduced a lot compared to when he was working full-time but it's still around a million/month and he manages to save a big chunk of that even now as well. The lifestyle hasn't changed much after his retirement.

what do you is the reason we are not out there demanding our rights even after suffering so much

Yesterday I went to a doctor and later, while looking at the prescription, I noticed a small line at the bottom saying “Not valid for court.”

I am not saying this doctor prescribed anything wrong. I am not planning to take anyone to court. It was just the sentence itself that got stuck in my head.

A prescription is not a casual suggestion. A doctor writes something, we buy it and put it inside our body. Through years of trying to understand my own issues, I have ended up learning quite a lot about medicines, what they do and how they interact. People who have read my earlier posts probably know this. I am obviously not claiming to be a doctor, but I generally know what I am taking and I tend to read far more about it than is probably healthy. Most patients do not. They take the prescription to a pharmacy and trust that the person writing it knows what he is doing.

Then at the bottom of this same piece of paper is a sentence which seems to say that this authority should stop somewhere before the courtroom.

Maybe I am misunderstanding it. Perhaps it only means this is an ordinary prescription and not a formal medical report prepared for a legal case. I can understand why a doctor would want to make that distinction. But that is not what the sentence actually says. It does not say “not a medico-legal report.” It says “not valid for court,” as if the person who created the document can also decide where it may later be examined.

What happens if the prescription itself becomes the issue? If the dosage is wrong, two medicines should not have been combined, or something important was missed, does this line matter at all? Can someone give professional advice with real consequences and then put a small legal fence around the record of that advice?

The question becomes more complicated for me because I do not believe people are completely free authors of their actions. Doctors also make decisions through their training, exhaustion, habits, pressure, fear and whatever information was available to them at that moment. A mistake does not automatically make someone a bad person. Sometimes even when serious harm happens, hatred makes less sense once you understand all the causes behind what a person did.

But the patient who gets harmed is also a human being shaped by causes he never chose. His pain does not become less real because the doctor did not intend it. This is where I always find the legal system philosophically strange. It has to assign responsibility as if people are free, while almost everything we know about biology and psychology tells us that our choices do not appear from nowhere. Yet complete determinism does not solve anything either. We cannot run hospitals or any society by saying nobody is responsible because everything had prior causes.

I do not know where the exact balance is. I only know that even if free will is mostly an illusion, the difference in knowledge is real. One person is licensed to make the decision and the other person is trusting him enough to swallow what he writes. Surely that difference has to mean something morally and legally.

Maybe “not valid for court” is only a badly written limitation and I am reading too much into five words. Or maybe it reflects a wider desire among professionals to keep the authority of their position while reducing the responsibility that comes with it.

I would genuinely like doctors and lawyers to explain this, especially if I have understood the purpose of this sentence wrongly. What do doctors expect these words to protect them from, and should any professional be allowed to decide beforehand whether the record of his own decision can be used to question him?
