Like istg most of cant even end a sentence without saying it. its become so... idk normalized almost like normal slang. im curious why it became so normalized here, especially since the word has a very specific history in places like the US.

Also, where do people think Maldivians fit into this? We are generally dark-skinned/brown, and a common response on social media whena white/european person says the N word is "you are white you cant say/you dont got rhe pass" but does that actually mean Maldivians can say it (since most of us are dark skinned), or is the reclaimed use more specific to Black/African-descended communities?

On today’s topic of my frustrations, what do you mean my only option to move out bcs I wanna live a peaceful life alone is … getting married and literally again having to give up my independence? No bcs what do you mean in Maldives, rent situation is so sooo bad my only option to move out is to get married so that we both can SHARE rent? :( bcs nooo I wanna have my own apartment and pay my own rent and do my own things and live alone before I have to ever live with a MAN…?! Ugh whatever idc. I’m so hungry.

I haven’t met a single person in real life who uses Reddit.

I'm curious to hear honest opinions from Maldivian men.

If the person you're seriously talking to asked you to get an STD test, would you think it's a weird request, or would you be okay with it? Maybe during the talking stage before you get into a serious relationship?

I'm asking because casual flings and situationships seem to be quite common nowadays. And it's kinda scary to me. I don't think wanting both people to know their sexual health status is unreasonable, it's about being responsible and making informed decisions, not accusing anyone of anything. But I feel like it's very taboo here and most would feel uncomfortable if they get asked that?

If someone you genuinely liked asked you to get tested, how would you react? Would you do it? Why or why not?

Please keep the discussion respectful. I'm genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives.

Edit: also where do I ask them to go? 😀 I only know SHE building but I heard they aren't really private?

Which one? Which one do you use?

Anyone down to make a Maldivian Minecraft Server that we can play?

I want it to be NOT aternos, so we would be paying for the server, but we all can pool our money each month and pay as well. Not everyone but those who are atleast able to.

A 6$ per month server hosting would be just 90rf. My point is it's nothing if people just pool 20rf each as well. I mean hey it's just an idea.

And I'd like it to be bedrock so that mobile and PC players can co play together. And share some ideas about addons we could add for multiplayer

Anyways if ur down for it do send a DM. I'm thinking of making a group chat if enough ppl want it so we can discuss about it.

It's the same post but I changed my mind and wanna make it java.

Been wanting to start but kinda confused where to even begin lol

What broker are u guys using? IBKR? Trading212? eToro? Something else?

How do u deposit money from Maldives? Did u have any issues with the bank or taking the money back out later?
Also do u just buy VOO/SPY or those Ireland ETFs people keep talking about?

Would love to hear what u guys are doing. Feels like there isnt much info for people in Maldives.

Hi All :) Me and my boyfriend are currently planning our very first overseas trip together. Based on my findings, my first choice would be Dhigurah (I was also looking at Thulusdhoo, Kunaavashi & Fulidhoo - would you recommend any of these islands in lieu of Dhigurah?).

We'd love to do as many water activities and excursions as possible, and my research showed the island would be perfect for that. I do have a few questions for the more seasoned travellers.

1. Arriving and departing: I found direct flights from Vienna to Malé with great prices at the beginning of December. I am aware we would need to take a speedboth to and from the island once we get to the airport. My main concern is the departure. Our flight would leave from Malé in the morning (10.25 am) would we be able to make it in time or should we find accomodation in Malé for our last night?

2. Speedboats: How do speedboats work here? I tried looking it up in the group, where they said mainly the accomodations book them for the guests. Is it still around 60-70$? Can we pay this fee in dollars or euros or should we exchange money at the airport first?

3. Money exchange: Can you please give me some advice how this works? Can we exchange money in Dhigurah as well or is this a service we can get strictly in Malé? Are the islands mainly cash only? What is better: euro dollar?

4. Accomodation: I found a great price for a hotel at Dhigurah and they had great reviews as well. One of the issues were that they were quite unresponsive regarding transfers. If that's the case, is there a company I can contact in the island to help things get scheduled?

5. Respecting the locals: I'm aware that Dhigurah is an inhabited island, meaning women would need to dress modestly and tourists are not allowed to consume alcohol. Is there only one Bikini Beach in the island where every tourist goes, or if we explore the island can we snorkel basically anywhere?

6. Excursions and prices: I saw that the accomodations organise a bunch of excursions (i.e. snorkeling/diving, bike rentals, wildlife tours etc.) how much do they cost on average in your experiences?

Thank you so much in advance for your help! 🥰
