What the actual hell do I do to get out of this country ?

I am making only 35k a month as a doctor. There's no other job on the market, I've been to literally all the hospitals and clinics within a 20-30km radius of my house and dropped off my CV. There's literally nothing /1 Even the least expensive route to get out of the country as a doctor requires 2-3 thousand dollars. At this economy and this job environment how in the name of God am I supposed to leave.

The current job I'm doing has zero satisfaction this "hospital" has roaches everywhere /2

Political mess affecting mental health.

I was quiet happy when I moved to Europe but as the months went by and situation in Pakistan... has worsened, it is taking a toll on my mental health. Although I’m abroad living without any fear and having all the freedom one can dream of, I’m really worried about my family that’s still in Pakistan.

Everyday there’s more bad news coming out of Pakistan....

The joint family system in Pakistan is destructive for our society and needs to be eliminated

We see much hype about guys saying no to dowry these days which is quite positive, but I think the elephant in the room is the joint family living arrangements which is very... (1/19) detrimental but still widely accepted. Again, it's not a generalisation but an observation which is common. There could be many good exceptions (my own family is one). I haven't covered the super abusive joint family system rather I am putting arguments against the... (2/19)

Need second opinion/advice on this UPS/inverter setup.

Salam everyone, I have visited the markets and done my research, there is a lot of misguidance and mostly shop owners just wanna shove the UPS down my throat without barely listening to the problem at hand.

Is it prohibited to do Phd on Jinnah in Pakistan?

I was watching Junaid Akram's podcast yesterday with Syed Muzammil Shah. In the podcast, SMS mentioned that it is forbidden in Pakistan to do a PhD on Jinnah because it would reveal truths about him that are not widely known... to the common man in the country. I think he was referring to Jinnah's drinking habits

Can someone confirm this?

Karachi: An Urban Planning Nightmare and road to improvement
Karachi - Difficult to navigate and no sense of direction. And this is just a post. I know the country is in a shit state and people will say that we can't afford any of this. I'm well aware.

One major issue is that... more cities have no urban planning, or that the army has purchased/forced people off their land. This is going to be a long term project. One way to tackle this is to split the provinces into more provinces. Each province would have its own capital.... Image

A #Germany based #Baloch separatist has uploaded pictures of multiple civilians in order to identify them for kidnapping and killing.
(Note: Faces have been blurred by us).
They are alleged to have informed #Pakistani security forces about the whereabouts of #BLA terrorists [1] The caption left by the separatist is explicit about getting the faces identified and reported to separatists (likely BLA).
Given the account's other posts celebrating deaths of pro-government forces, it is clear that these civilians will be hunted. [2]
