My students keep using chatgpt and it's disappointing
I'm supervising some bachelor students, and it's really disappointing that they have no thoughts of their own, every time I ask them to write something, they just tap it on ChatGPT and send me the result of their prompt, they don't even bother hiding it, I'm not against using AI, I use it myself, but it should be no more than a tool, in this case, it's the whole effing brain.

علاش العلاقات ولات توكسيك و بدون مبالاة؟
صراحة، وليت كنلاحظ واحد الظاهرة كتنتاشر بزاف: الناس ولاو كيطبقو حرفياً نصائح بحال "لي ما سول فيك ما تسول فيه", "إلا ما بقاش عاجبك، خرجو من حياتك بلا ندم" هاد النصائح، لي كانوا فالأول كيجيونا تحفيزية، ولاو سبب فأن الناس كيهربو من المسؤولية، من الحوار، ومن إصلاح العلاقات. النتيجة؟ علاقات خاسرة، صداقات كتسالي بسبب تافه، و بزاف ديال السّم بين الأزواج والكوبل و الصحاب.
علاش وصلنا لهاد الحالة؟ الناس كيقراو نصيحة فبلاصة بحال الفيسبوك أو إنستغرام و كيبداو يرددوها كيحسابهم راه اتصلاح لاي وضع. ولكن الواقع معقد، وكل علاقة خاصها تتفهم فالسياق ديالها حيت النصيحة بلا وعي وسياق كتقدر تولي سم. المجتمع ولا يشجع على الانانية و كيمجد المقاطعة والبلوك والـتوكسيسيتي فكلشي، وكيعتبرو أي اختلاف ولا زلة سبب كافي باش تخرج شي حد من حياتك. ولكن العلاقات الصحية خاصها شجاعة، تفاهم، وصبر. ولينا كنشوفوا ناس كيغبرو من حياتنا بلا سبب مفهوم بلا ما يشرحو شنو المشكل.... علاش واش كيبغيو يفقسو دك الشخص و يخليوه معلق؟ حتى الأزواج ولاو بحال أعداء، كل واحد باغي يغلب ولا يفقص لاخور. العلاقة ولات ساحة معركة ماشي حب و دعم. بزاف ديال الكوبل و الصحاب و حتى الخوت ولاو كيلعبو بمشاعر بعضهم. فين غاديين بهاد العقلية؟ وشنو هو الحل باش نرجعو نعيشو علاقات فيها الرحمة و الحنان بلا نفاق ولعب بالمشاعر؟

Tipping in Morocco has become a scam — let’s call it what it is
Tipping in Morocco used to be a kind gesture. Now it’s just guilt-based extortion.
You pay for a car wash at home, and the guy acts like drying your mirrors deserves a tip.
You go in for a basic oil change, and suddenly three guys are circling your car hoping for a few dirhams each — even the one who just stood and watched.
You order food on Glovo or Jumia, pay 25 MAD in delivery fees, service charges, inflated restaurant prices… and then the delivery guy lingers like you owe him a bonus for doing his job.
Let’s not even talk about:
• The “guardian” who appears out of nowhere when you park.
• The guy who opens a door you were already going to open.
• Waiters who pretend they don’t have change unless you “generously” leave it.
This isn’t tipping — it’s a passive-aggressive hustle.
It’s turned into a cultural tax based on shame and social pressure. And it needs to stop.
I’m done tipping for normal service. I pay what’s asked, I’m polite, I say thank you — but I refuse to sponsor the dysfunction of the system.
If Glovo pays like trash, that’s Glovo’s fault — not mine.
If garages underpay helpers, that’s on them — not on my pocket.
If someone thinks standing next to my car deserves money, they’re part of the problem.
Tipping should be earned, not expected. I’m not rude, I’m just not a sucker.
Anyone else fed up with this? Or are we still pretending it’s “normal”?

Any way to send a parcel from Morocco to Russia despite current restrictions?
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to send a parcel from Morocco to Russia, but I’ve run into some issues. I checked with Chronopost here in Morocco, and they told me that shipments to Russia are currently suspended, likely due to the ongoing geopolitical situation and related restrictions.
Has anyone here found a workaround or alternative courier that still delivers from Morocco to Russia? I’m looking for something reliable even if it’s a bit slower or more expensive. Also, if you’ve done this recently, did you run into any customs problems or paperwork complications?
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thoughts on Morolingo ?
Salam. Labas 3laykum ?
So, recently I was on the trip to Morocco, and I just returned home a few days ago. It was a good experience, though one of the things that keeps me intrigued till this day is the language used by Moroccans. As I found out, they speak Darija, which is a very distinct dialect of Arabic. I was kinda struggling to understand what were the locals saying at that time, as I have very little knowledge of the Darija
One day, I thought to myself, "what if there's a dictionary for Darija ?". So, I searched and found a couple of apps that I thought are interesting, including the one named Morolingo.
So, Morolingo was kinda like Duolingo, in terms of its learning design, but it focuses more on learning Darija and Amazigh. I was excited. To me, its a good app, except for one thing ; the app used romanized writing of Arabic, and they sometimes used numbers to represent a letter, for example 7 represents the letter ح. Where I'm from, we never use numbers even when we romanize Arabic Language. For example, for the letter ح and ه، we simply just use "h" and figure out which is which.
I really enjoy the app, overall. However, I've come to realize at that moment that it was the last night of me being in Morocco. Man, what a loss. Trip to Morocco from Malaysia wasn't really cheap, you know lol ? Despite that, I still use the app till this day
So, anyone who knows about Morolingo, what are your thoughts about this app ? Is it accurate and reliable to use as a Darija-learning app ?

How do you find/ deal with stingy people ?(z9rama)
Just a very silly story that happened yesterday but i can't stop giggling thinking about it and i wanna know what would your stream of thoughts be like and how would you react in a similar situation.

I wish I could be 16 again and do it all differently
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about being 16 again—high school, friends, that carefree feeling of life ahead of me. I miss it. I feel like I didn’t fully enjoy it while I was in it. I was too caught up in stuff that didn’t matter, or maybe I didn’t take the time to appreciate the little moments with friends, the dumb jokes, the late-night talks, or just being young without pressure.
If I could go back, I’d be more present. I’d talk to people more, take more risks, laugh harder, care less about what others thought, and just… live.
Anyone else ever feel like that? Like you’d give anything to rewind—not to fix everything, but just to relive it and feel it again?
Ps: I’m 31

Why is public urination still so normalized in Morocco?
It’s 2025, and somehow, grown men still think it’s acceptable to urinate in public — in broad daylight, in city centers, behind cars, or right next to walls people walk by every day.
This isn’t just happening in remote villages. It’s everywhere: downtown Casablanca, the Corniche of Rabat, Marrakech medina, near public buildings, markets, mosques… even schools.
It’s disgusting, embarrassing, and honestly unacceptable. But even worse than the act itself is how normalized it’s become. People walk by like nothing’s wrong. No shame. No fines. No consequences.
And let’s not even talk about the smell in some corners — especially in summer. Some walls literally reek of dried urine and rot. And we wonder why cities feel neglected?
Why does this happen?
There’s no real enforcement. You rarely see police intervening.
There aren’t enough public toilets, especially clean and open ones.
And let’s be real — many just don’t care. No sense of public decency.
Public space is not your private toilet. If someone did this in Europe, they’d get fined or arrested. Here? Nothing. Just zip up and walk away like a champ.
What needs to happen?
Cities need to build more clean, accessible public toilets — no excuses.
Fines must be enforced. Cameras are everywhere, so use them.
And we need to stop accepting this as “normal male behavior”. It’s not.
⸻
We talk a lot about improving Morocco’s image and urban quality of life — this issue is basic hygiene. If we can’t fix that, what are we even doing?
Curious to know — does this bother anyone else? Have you ever confronted someone about it?

Casablanca absolutely needs a metro system
This city is growing fast, and the current transportation infrastructure simply can’t keep up. The tram is helpful, but it’s not enough. Taxis are overloaded, traffic is chaotic, and commuting can be a nightmare — especially during rush hour.
A metro system would:
• Reduce traffic congestion
• Improve air quality
• Make daily commuting way more efficient
• Connect key areas like Sidi Bernoussi,Sidi Maârouf, Ain Sebaa, Maarif, and Hay Hassani directly
Other cities like Cairo have had metros for decades — even Algiers has one. It’s about time Casablanca took this step. The demand is there. The population is there. What’s missing is action.
What do you think? Would a metro really make a difference here?

Recording Police or People in Public in Morocco Can Get You in Serious Trouble Know Your Rights & Limits
Just wanted to drop a quick but important reminder, because I’ve been seeing a lot of people in Morocco thinking that “since it’s public, I can record whatever I want.” That’s not how it works here.
Recording police officers (or any security forces) while they’re on duty, even in public, can be considered a criminal offense under Moroccan law. This especially applies if you post the footage online, share it on social media, or use it in a way that might “harm the image of the state” or “violate personal privacy.” Yes, even if no faces are shown.
Recording people without their consent (even in public places) can also land you in trouble. If someone files a complaint saying you filmed them without permission, you might face legal consequences under privacy and defamation laws.
Moroccan Penal Code Articles 447.1, 447.2, and 447.3 deal with the unauthorized use of someone's image or voice. The penalties range from fines to prison sentences (yes, even for “just a TikTok”).
Even if the video goes viral and you're not the one who posted it originally, you can still be charged if you recorded it.
What is allowed?
Recording landscapes, events, your own vlogs, etc.
Taking general footage in public as long as you’re not focusing on people’s faces or recording police/authorities.
Filming police is only safe if you're in a life-threatening or emergency situation and even then, don't publish it online without legal advice.
DON'T RECORD THE POLICE FOR FUCK SAKE IT WILL GIVE THEM ADVENTAGE TO PUT YOU IN TROUBLES

Do police officers in Morocco have the right to ask you to unlock your phone and search it?
A few months ago, I was stopped by a police officer while I was picking up my brother from the airport, it was at the first roundabout, and the situation was chaotic because of Eid — the roads were completely packed; I was simply waiting for an opening to enter the roundabout when some gendarmes stopped me… apparently because I had turned off my indicator way before entering the lane to continue driving... Yes, really !
They stopped me and followed the usual procedure — I handed over the vehicle documents, etc.. while one of the officers went off to write the report, I took out my phone to record a short video with my brother to share the moment with our other brother, one of the police officers came up to me and asked if I was recording, I told him I was recording myself and my brother, he started yelling, giving orders and demanded that I unlock my phone so he could check it — that son of a b*tch
Instinctively, and in good faith, I unlocked my phone to show him the video — but he snatched it out of my hands and started scrolling through my fucking gallery
Looking back, I can somewhat understand his reaction: they had just stopped a luxury car, and based on what I saw, it seemed like they might have accepted some money from the driver
I still have the police report, so the officer's name — or at least one of his colleagues' names — should be on it, tho I’m not trying to file a complaint or whatever, I just genuinely want to know: Did he have the LEGAL right to take my phone and search it as if I were some sort of drug smuggler or criminal?

I see it a lot these days , a hate toward any woman who marries a foreigner , and gets worse if he is a Gulf arab , why do people even care , is it misogyny? Racism ? Or a mix of both with a springle or self-frastuation and boredom
