When I stayed in the Dubai airport hotel not only was it $550 a night for a basic tiny room and there were there no bathroom doors but there was a GIANT painting of the king of dubai both in the bathroom and the bedroom! The one in the bedroom was almost floor to ceiling size. I hung a towel over him. It was super creepy and felt like his eyes were watching you as you walked around the room.

Impossible to sex near that painting as the speaker will begin talking at you half way through!

"To sex" is to determine sex (gender.)

If someone says "I am sexing your mom" on the internet, that is definitely not what they mean.

Not me. I’m definitely checking your mom’s gender.

We're buying mice and we want 2 or 3 females. So yesterday I was searching "how to check mouse gender". Imagine my confusion when search engine recommended me a bunch of "how to sex mice" youtube videos!

Be careful, that's probably a felony.

Seems like it. Randy from Cupertino should probably avoid visiting UAE again.

https://uaelegislation.gov.ae/en/legislations/2131

> Section Two: Crimes and Penalties; 2. Slander, challenge, or insult the Divine Essence:

> Anyone who commits one of the acts stipulated in Clauses (2, 3, and 5) of Article (4) of this Decree by Law, by any means of expression or other forms or by using any means, shall be punished by imprisonment for a period of not less than one year and a fine of not less than (AED 250,000) two hundred and fifty thousand UAE Dirhams and not exceeding (AED 1,000,000) one million UAE Dirhams, or by one of these two penalties.

While this is obviously grotesque, it's both funny, sad and telling that the overarching name for the legislation is Federal Law by Decree Concerning Combating Discrimination, Hatred and Extremism. UAE learned this from the US/Europe.

> the Divine Essence

Surely this refers to God/Allah though. I would expect using such a monkier to refer to the king would be shirk (associating/comparing something with God), one of the worst sins in Islam.

So Randy is probably safe.

		Looking over the linked legal page (with the caveat that I spent ten seconds and I am not a lawyer although I did use to watch Law and Order every week), I didn’t see anything that would make the portrait of the king subject to the law.
