govt workers are we getting our salary tonight or on the 31st ? since 31st will be a government open day im asking

I see a lot of people complaining about needing a job and not finding one and then having no human rights , looking for someone 18-25 has a license is a vibe and can't travel daily to once a week as needed DM for details and no I'm not going to make you sell Dr*gs

The tragic loss of a dedicated Maldivian brother in the recent diving accident should serve as a wake-up call for our entire country. It is disgraceful that a member of our military was sent into a high-risk situation without the proper equipment, all to rescue individuals who willfully ignored established diving depths. This happens because our regulations lack real enforcement.

We must question where our national resources are going. While overpaid officials sit comfortably in offices siphoning wealth, the men defending our country are left under-trained and under-equipped.

With the funds available, our divers should be provided with world-class training and advanced career opportunities. As a former dive instructor, seeing a rescue team attempt to penetrate a cave system without closed-circuit rebreathers was a clear sign of systemic failure. We were entirely unprepared.

Since the last time i posted here for someone to go for a coffee i actually have made a friend now. Unexpected but yeah it was awesome. Atleast some of yall legit.

Anywhere near Male’? You gotta apply before?

So I have been seeing all these screenshots and statuses of students expressing their gratitude to their teachers after their O Levels and this has led to this again

It was right at the beginning of my Secondary Education and despite being academically good, I had struggled with Accounts. My teachers at school did not help at all and I guess I gave up on the subject pretty early in Grade 8 because I was once ridiculed by one of them - I still dont understand why, me trying to keep my book neat would set her off that way. I was scolded just because all the ledger account layouts was printed by me. I was asked to tear off the pages. Granted she didn’t want my book to look any different, she could have simply asked me instead of ridiculing me in front of the entire class.

Anyway, skip to 3 years later, I had struggled simply to pass the subject and decided to get tuition after my mock exams. That was when everything changed and this teacher, was so patient and kindly took the time to explain everything to me.

I did not expect much from this subject in O levels, but to everyone’s and my surprise I had scored the second highest from my school, missing out on the subject prize by just 1 mark and securing an A* in Accounts. I attribute all of it to Shiuna miss (she was teaching in Ameeniya School at the time i think) and I wanted to thank her then but I had immediately moved abroad after my exams and had no way to reach out.

It’s been more than a decade after my O levels now and I have successfully completed my Masters in Accounting and have built my career around the field. Over the years, I have asked around but no one seemed to know how to reach her. So I thought I will ask here one last time.

I’m 18 female and I’ve never dated anyone. I’ve only been in talking stages. i wasn’t allowed to date until i graduate 10th. which I did two years ago. now i am allowed to date but can’t get anyone to like me.

Now all my friends are dating, and pretty much everyone my age around me is too. I live on a small island with a very small population, and most guys here are already taken. I’m also not into younger guys. I don’t really meet new people here. i go to Malê twice a year but i have had no luck so far. nobody approaches be maybe because of my looks? i’m just not noticeable.

I also don’t trust online dating much because so many people seem fake or unserious. some people have approached me online and asked me out but i say no because i don’t know them in real life and we don’t get a chance to meet irl. i believe that a person online and in real life can be very different. THAT is why i don’t like online dating!

Still, I once met a guy online who added me on Snapchat. I’m usually a texting person because calling makes me uncomfortable, but he convinced me to call. We ended up talking for hours, called multiple times that day, and kept talking for a few days. Then he ghosted me too. After that, I started feeling like maybe I should stop talking to people online altogether.

Nobody approaches me in real life. The only people who approach me do it online after seeing my social media. I’m a fat girl, so I don’t think I have the looks for people to approach me in person. Online, I obviously post my better pictures, so I guess that changes things too.

At this point, it’s affecting me mentally. All my friends, my best friends, and even my mom keep telling me I should think about getting a boyfriend. It’s gotten so bad that I’m actually considering getting a fake boyfriend for a few months just so people would stop talking about it. Like having someone send me flowers and pretending we’re dating, then later saying we broke up. I know that sounds unhealthy, which is why I’m posting this.

Do you guys have any opinions, advice, or suggestions about my situation or dating life?

I want to vent out. Malé feels like a dumpster. Anybody? What can we do to improve??

Hi people! I’m a 23M.
I have a decent job and I’m studying abroad in doing my bachelor’s.
I have a height of around 5’9”ish and I am fit (i am a bit bulked up, not skinny)
I go to the gym regularly and I go running as well.
I prefer someone who prays regularly (or tries to pray regularly) and is a muslim.
My hobbies usually involve watching anime and playing genshin impact on weekends as I am pretty busy these days due to my studies.
I’m not looking to hook up or play around. I want a serious relationship where the aim is to get married one day when the time is right.
Looking for someone who’s between 21-25 years old and is mature.
People who are interested can comment down below.
Thanks.

First timer in your beautiful country, we had to spend one night in in humule right across from artificial beach before going to our resort the next day. Unfortunately there was a huge political protest. It appeared there was an official (mdp I think?) gathering on the beach and then some other group with a huge sound system set up in the street to drown out the official gathering. What’s the deal? It was basically just two people on microphones screaming over each other and then using blaring music to try and silence it. Can anyone explain the players and what the contention is in laymen’s terms?
