A Saudi Arabian company that was created by the Saudi Arabian government just purchased Pokémon Go

If you can’t see the article i will paste it for you.

I’m speaking from experience as a Saudi person who’s always grouped with the “saudi” or "Arabic " or “brown” groups instead of another human being.

So am i, and i’m also sick of it and the people who use this to fuel discrimination. I see this article as more of a reason to hate the sauds, not saudi people.

After MBS became the de-facto leader (after some purges, to centralize all the power to himself) he started “liberalizing” and giving us more freedoms. It’s all bullshit.

Women weren’t even allowed to drive four years ago. That was probably the only good thing he gave us.

The sauds are the last people you want to own anything you use.

Absolutely. The british and french are absolutely to blame. They destroyed the entire middle east, and made us all suffer for their own convenience. Also, the Sykes-picot agreement.

(now there are four other arabs than me that i know on lemmy :DDD)

I see thanks. I assumed so since egypt followed a very similar timeline to you described (even the 21y reign of a murderous dictator lol)

Sorry i don’t have much to add, but if i had to guess, that country is egypt?

Sadly yes.

It’s actually worse than assassination for dissidents inside the country, it’s flat out public beheading.

But how common is it unless you’re a major regime critic?

Still common. Happened to someone i am vaguely related to, they tweeted to their [less than 10 followers] just criticism of the monarchy, and “disappeared”. Nobody ever saw them again. Later i saw a news article, of someone being executed and fitting their exact description. Fuck my life.

All they need is your real name and your comments, and it’s over.

I haven’t emigrated yet, but every time I leave my country by travelling, I feel terrified that somehow I’m being watched or someone will report on me. So I stay on my best behavior, and not break any religious laws.

Honestly, even if I leave (which I’m planning to) I don’t think I can ever feel or be safe. The gulf monarchies have boundless reach, and are practically omnipotent.

Maybe it’s just paranoia, maybe they’re not keeping a close eye on me. But I’m still afraid of messing up and losing my life.

Absolutely. I can’t point out what’s so nostalgic about it and its graphics, maybe the gamma? the simpler minecraft? just playing on a controller? It also felt that the OST played at more fitting times then Java/bedrock edition.

There’s just something magical about it. Especially the minigames, i almost forgot about those!

God i miss legacy minecraft. Way better than bedrock.

I still have it on my original xbox one (not the og og xbox lol) and i’m overwhelmed with memories everytime i play it.

I was heartbroken when they discontinued it, and it took me years to actually migrate to bedrock ;'(

Thank you for reminding me of it :^)
