Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has selected his daughter as his heir, South Korea's spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday.

Kim Ju Ae - who is believed to be 13 - has in recent months been pictured beside her father in high-profile events like a visit to Beijing in September, her first known trip abroad.

The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it took a "range of circumstances" into account including her increasingly prominent public presence at official events" in making this assessment.

The 80% figure I mistook for the one of Qatar originally

No you don't, you're just ignorant. Next you gonna tell me south korea is a dictator state and then whoops, you confused it with north korea.

Every service you pointed out leaves immigrants without access, 40% of Saudi population not having access to healthcare is exactly my point.

You first say poor people, now you change it to immigrant. How many time do you wanna move the goal post?

Wikipedia explicitly says this healthcare is for citizens, and when 40% are non citizens, it's a de-facto apartheid state with half the population being immensely exploited

Wikipedia also stated:

"Sponsors/employers are responsible for paying for an extensive package of services for private sector expatriates."

Why are you running defense for authoritarian monarchies in the Middle East?

Is this supposed to be an attack on me or defence of your own ignorant? I see you spitting bs that can be easily debunked via a simple search, so i debunked it via a simple search. And why are you defending dictator state of north korea?
