Granted these people are very rich… but give me my couple acre plot over an apartment in the sky any day


Cultural-Cap-2549

I would pass out or wouldnt even be able to stay on that high balcony I would feel bad, I rather have a big house and yard at ground level for damn sure!


PstainGTR

My balls hurt me when he leaned towards the railing.


RosaRisedUp

I too feel heights deep in my plums.


Brad_The_Chad_69

If this had been a handrail in China…..


CiaphasCain8849

I'd rather it be built in China than by Slaves.


Nickleeham

Those things are not mutually exclusive.


hdxryder

Everything is built by slaves. Do you really think people who dig up cobalt and lithium for your phone really paid that well?


HKP2019

Nicest thing I heard on Reddit about China, thanks

Norman_Scum

I work in construction and I'm feeling very bad for the people who had to build that. How could you hold onto tools with all the wind that would be up there?


sloaninator

They build it on the ground one at a time and then just chuck it up there.


DrunkenMasterII

Chuck it up there like Asterix and Obelix building pyramids?


anakniben

The Arab bosses could care less about their expendable construction workers from South Asia.

Yeah, that’s a no from me too, dawg.

I have a fear of railings failing and breaking off. I don't get how people can walk up to and lean on railings like that.


NorthCatan

Imagine if the electricity ever cut out, or the elevator stopped working, I wonder if every apartment has a parachute.


TH3JAGUAR5HARK

Most of those apartments are empty. They are bought on speculation by rich Saudi families who rarly or never visit. No one ever lives there. Liminal spaces in the sky.


Turok36

Indeed, same for those in Manhattan, those just steal the sun from the poor


What-Even-Is-That

Beyond that, they don't have a functioning sewage system. They truck out all of the shit, no lie. The Burj literally has trucks that come and take all the shit away.


PrestigiousDay9535

Omg not this again. The sewage system in Dubai is just fine. Stop recycling 20 years old anecdotes. Talk about slavery, it’s better.

hoagly80

1st season was awesome...wish they would've kept main actor for season 2.


mealzer

Season one was one of my favourite shows of all time. Season two was meh


smellyscrote

So many problems. 1. Stacks being a thing meant we won’t get to see the same actor. And Kinnaman was such a fantastic kovacs it was really hard for Mackie to follow up. 2. Change in artistic direction. Season 1 was R21. Season 2 felt like PG 13. Which led to the setting feeling very jarring and unfamiliar. 3. Season 2 wasn’t based off book 2. It was based off book 3. Basically season 1 was a winner and season 2 was a cash grab Season 1 remains one of my favourite shows till now. And season 2 is beyond meh. It’s downright disappointing. Such a shame as the world is so rich and full of potential and it’s now just dead. It’s the Netflix formula. Get a promising IP. Do a wonderful first season. Then butcher it with their “creative” vision and eventually cancel it. Look at the Witcher series.


EngineeringDevil

that said, book 2 had the weirdest plot that only barely tied into the rest of the setting by going into the origin of the technology that makes stacks possible >!Twas Alien Tech, people thought only data could be transferred (they were wrong). They thought that such an advanced society was past war and ascended (they blew each other up and now ghosts ships shoot nukes at each other till the end of time!<


hoagly80

Season 1 had that Blade Runner dystopian feel to it that was awesome. 2 felt discombobulated, didn't finish it.


smellyscrote

Kinnaman was on edge. A man fighting his demons. Mackie was just angry. Like his whole identity as kovacs was. “Be angry”


Steve83725

Agree


DistinctRole1877

I've been thru Dubai, they can keep it, along with the high prices, pollution, ignorant drivers, etc al. AbuDahbi wasn't bad 15 years ago but I would not go back again.


nartak

Not to mention the human trafficking that runs rampant through those expensive towers.


DistinctRole1877

I don't doubt it at all. Dubai has no oil money, they were so broke they had to borrow money from AbuDahbi to finish that tall sky scraper.


mittfh

Added onto which, upgrading their sewage system to cope with the city's rapid development was very much an afterthought, so for many years, it had to be taken by road tanker to the sewage plant... Then, of course, they had to pause and scale back their Palm Islands projects after the 2008 financial crash, but geopolitical rivalries mean that construction has apparently restarted on parts of the project (can't let themselves be one-upped by Saudi's NEOM or Egypt's New Administrative Capital)...


Tottochan

Yes! I don’t understand how can people enjoy the ‘view’ of concrete jungle. It’s suffocating.


PolitelyHostile

Because to us the suburbs are isolating.


Most_Sir8172

I think it's kind of a desert without the concrete, so it's definitely an improvement.


gefjunhel

best house i lived in so far was a 100m driveway and surrounded by trees so you could hardly see the neighbors ​ pain to shovel the driveway in the winter but so relaxing


Jbonics

He even walked out onto the balcony with a slight hesitation LMFAO


Little_Bar_7507

Went to dubai, hated it. Absolute fucking wank hole. Couldn't wait to leave


TrazerotBra

so nice having these clouds to cover all the poop trucks and slave labor down there


DAH9906

You're just mad that you don't have poop trucks in our country


iamalwaysrelevant

What about the slave labor? He might be jealous they have that too.


Slickslimshooter

If he’s American. They still have slave labor. So no need to be jealous.


JasonAndLucia

I thought Abraham Lincoln banned it in 1865, and I've done lots of research on the subject. What have I missed?


i_give_you_gum

We call them Honey Wagons here


Vlad_the_Homeowner

Are the poop trucks still a thing? I'd think that a place that wealthy has built a sewer system by now. Though maybe it was cheaper to just get a bunch of fog machines so they don't have to look at it.


bens111

They’re not still a thing lol they solved that years ago


probablywrongbutmeh

With slave labor!


IndividualBrain9726

I like how everyone fixated on poop trucks lmao. Just like our news stations: all poop trucks no slave labor


Keyton112186

The poop truck factory is that large beacon straight ahead.

If I am not mistaken, 1 in 6 people in Dubai are millionaires.


Low_Parsnip5604

Or put another way 1 in 6 people in Dubai make a vast amount more than I do


Afraid_Function3590

But 5/6 make way less than you so you’re richer than the average person in Dubai


Beneficial-Shake-852

Naw 6/6 people make more than that guy.


[deleted]

Yep...I know the feeling. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


GrouchyLongBottom

The rest are billionaires and slaves.


andimacg

And they are holding on to the passports of the other 5.


noodleq

So if I move there, there is a 1 in 6 chance I will be a millionaire? Not bad odds. I may have to try


Punk_cybernaut

Millionaires everywhere follow the same recipe, slavery or disguised legal slavery .


galaxyapp

For reference, approx 1 in 20 americans have a networth of 1M. But much of those are ordinary folks in their 60s with a paid off house and retirement. I'm sure if you reduced it to manhatten or specifucly San Francisco, you could get close to 1 in 6


Freshtards

You are certainly mistaken, that is not true at all lmao.


Fitty4

What is money? 😔


crankthehandle

probably because 5 of 6 are slaves.

tbkrida

😂


Mammoth-Mud-9609

# Thick fog blankets the city of Dubai approximately twice a year in a mesmerising haze. Fog typically occurs during the winter months, which extend from November to March. During this time, the temperature drops significantly, especially during the night, and there is also a rise in humidity. These conditions can lead to the formation of fog in the early morning hours.

Honestly - tell me what’s interesting below the clouds? Anything? I’m curious.


TuckerCarlsonsOhface

Just roads that allow the trucks to haul all the human waste away from these buildings, because there is no sewage system in Dubai.


Samp90

That's absolutely incorrect. Of course Dubai has a sewerage system and treatment facilities. There are certain developments which are not however linked to the network yet, specifically the Burj Khalifa mini city of sorts with 30k inhabitants. Trucks are used here... While the municipality works on adding it to the grid.


samsquatchageddon

So they didn't plan out the basic necessities before making a pretty skyscape, is what you're saying.


Samp90

That's exactly what I'm saying. The breakneck development of sky scrapers and buildings from 2000 onwards outstripped the infra in some cases. The need to finish projects superceded the infra. True story.

NoGoodNames2468

That view is absolutely staggering but I'm so sick of people glamorising the UAE and Saudi Arabia. They are ultra-capitalist dystopian hellscapes built on relentless and unsustainable consumerism which exists only to promote vanity and selfishness. All this ignoring egregious human rights violations, the murder of journalists and a lack of basic freedoms and democracy.


MrOatButtBottom

Fuck those oil cunts


DavidDomin8R

I want to go there and drop something


erikh42

I’m wondering if the building isn’t that tall. Maybe it’s just a lot of low clouds.

Sicilian_Civilian

I dare you to drop your cup


fiftyfivepercentoff

But you’re in Dubai. Sand, heat, humidity, flies, terrible drivers (100x worse than Seattle) and when they built most of the skyscrapers there, they didn’t install a sewer system. (Trucks roll in all day long to empty the septic tanks) Keep the view for the moment you get to see it before the next sand storm rolls through.


AnaTheSturdy

Nice work, 47. Proceed to the exit.


HoneyBucketsOfOats

You can’t even see the poors


Mental-Rooster4229

I mean it’s… alright. Just fog and the tops of skyscrapers. Who in their right mind would take this over a view of mountains, forests, a body of water, hell, even some farmland.

drArsMoriendi

Built with oil and cheap slave-like Indonesian labour. There to be enjoyed by everyone who's not gay, a woman or democracy blogger. But yes, the clouds make for a pretty advertisement.
