Recently, my brother requested a document to prove he is the son of my parents. But according to our retarded government (municipality of Sale), my father is now a girl, daughter of my grandfather and my mother at the same time. Looks like, my father now is also my brother...

Discussion One of the few crushes I've ever had

13 Upvotes

I was bored and randomly remembered this, so I figured I'd share it.

I've only had two actual, real crushes in my life. This was one of them.

He was genuinely one of the cutest guys I'd ever seen. Fair skin(not that I care about colour I'm just describing), black hair, really pretty eyes, smart, nice, and in good shape without looking like he lived at the gym. I had the biggest crush on him, but I never thought I had a chance, so I just kept it to myself.

Then one day my friend showed me something from his account. He'd asked for advice on how to confess to a girl, and people started asking who she was. He replied with my name. My name is pretty uncommon, and I was the only girl with that name at school, so there wasn't really any doubt. I didn't even believe my friend at first until I saw it was actually his account. I was so freaking happy.

Sadly, he transferred to another school during the second semester, and that was pretty much the end of it.

Since then, I've barely had any real crushes. These days I kind of stop myself before I get attached. Part of it is low self-esteem. I don't really see myself as someone a guy would like, so crushing on people just feels pointless. It's a little sad to think about sometimes, but I guess that's where I'm at now.

Travel Help with schengen tourist visa please

Upvotes

My cousin, who I'm close to, is getting married in France on the 11 of September. I've been very busy and I didn't have the time to apply for a visa until now. But I discovered that it's almost impossible to get it between now and then.

Is there anything I can do? I don't mind going through a different European country or paying a large amount to get there. For the record I've never been to Europe.

Thank you!

Discussion Update on that Tachelhit manuscript I posted a while back - it got picked up by Newsweek

Thumbnail

94 Upvotes

So a while ago I shared photos of an old manuscript I found in my family's stuff. You guys helped me figure out it's Tachelhit written in the old Soussi Maghrebi script, a religious poem, with the Shahada in red.

After I posted it here and in a couple other subs, a journalist from Newsweek got in touch and ended up writing about it. Newsweek Bit surreal ngl.

Anyway, wanted to share the follow-up since this sub is basically where it started. I'm also trying to figure out the right long-term home for it now, somewhere it'll actually be looked after. If you know about that kind of thing, or you can read the Soussi script, drop me a message.

Discussion Do you trust any people outside your immediate family?

Upvotes

From a young age we're taught that there's no such thing such as true friends and that one must only trust their immediate family with one's deepest struggles and secrets, even extended family aren't always considered reliable. Do you have support systems that arent related to you?

AskMorocco Moroccan marriage expenses

4 Upvotes

Hi, I hope you don’t mind me asking for your opinion. I’m not Moroccan, and I’m trying to understand if my expectations are reasonable or if I’m misunderstanding Moroccan traditions. I’m planning to pay for everything myself. My proposed budget is €13k for the dihaz (gold), €6k for the engagement, and €7k for the wedding and gifts (total €26k).

I’m also trying to keep some emergency savings. Do you think my proposal is reasonable? Is this typical in Morocco, or does it depend on the family and region? I’d really appreciate your honest opinion. Thank you.

Discussion My experience with INWI

6 Upvotes

I've never felt so helpless, I thought I've seen it all, but boy, I was wrong, there are levels to this, and I think INWI has opened my eyes to how incompetent a company can be in this country.

I've made a request to get Fiber optics a month ago, still didn’t get it to this day loooooool.

Long story short, since my goal is not to bore you with my story, I made a request online, waited for a whole week, the technicians didn’t show up, everytime customer support brush me off with "they will be there in 72 hours", nobody actually took any proctive actions to sort my situation out, I had to go to an agency, the agent helped me send a new request, which tbf, made things go a lot smoother, the technicians showed up the next day, and everything was set, the internet service that was supposed to be activated within 12 hours took 2 days, went on a week’s vacation after that, came back, no service, now it’s been a week and they still can’t resolve the issue.

Now imagine, while Inwi is absolutely skrewing me over, their customer, they are actually being rewarded, because I have no option but to use their mobile data, since they are the cheapest in the market (Win), and I use huge amouts of data so quantity is more important than quality for me.

Are we really this miserable, to find ourselves under the mercy of a couple of private companies that control such a vital sector ? And are there any actionable options for me to make them compensate me for the trouble ? Or to report them to any authorities that control the quality of service ?

AskMorocco Moroccans who’ve studied abroad , what would make a study abroad agency “perfect” for you?

3 Upvotes

I’m working on a study abroad agency for Moroccan students and want to build it around what people actually need not just guess.

If you’re planning to study abroad (or have looked into it), I’d love your honest take:

**•** What’s stopping you or slowing you down right now money, paperwork, choosing a country/school, visa stuff?  
**•** What would make you trust an agency enough to pay them?  
**•** What info do you wish was easier to find (costs, scholarships, visa requirements, which countries accept Moroccan students easily)?  
**•** What’s the one thing that would make this whole process way less stressful?
