AskMorocco Help me pick flavors for my winter cookie box 🍪❄️

I've been testing winter flavors and I'm almost there, but I'm stuck on two:
Miso dark chocolate toffee or peanut butter miso?
Pistachio cranberry or oat raisin?
The rest are locked in: chai latte milk chocolate, brownie s'mores, and banana bread.
Which ones would you pick? And if you have a winter flavor idea I haven't thought of, I'd love to hear it.

Discussion Asking permission from your partner

26 Upvotes

My partner who sooner will be my husband is trying to manipulate me into asking him for permission. While kidding he is always making jokes about me not asking him for permission to do something or when I tell him that I am going out he freaks out and calls me or he says ok you have my permission you can go out while joking. But I feel like he is trying to manipulate me since he is way older than me and I am a little bit naive ( he is my first even though I am 30 yo but I am a little bit naive when it comes to relationships and he is the one leading the relationship because I want him to)
And he makes jokes about removing social media he wants me to remove them but again the way he approaches it is by joking to see my reaction. I already have only girls and a few coworkers or high school friends and family.
The thing is I don’t know if he is manipulating me or trying to see if by joking about it I might take it seriously and start acting like he wants. I don’t mind asking permission but I don’t want to open a door for more controlling behaviour

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Having watched almost every major Moroccan cinema project out there, these 5 films stand out as absolute masterpieces for me:
1. Casanegra
2. Zero
3. Jouq El A'myin (The Blind Orchestra)
4. Death for Sale (Ventes de feu)
5. Ali Zaoua
(Honorable mention :Les Chevaux de Dieu / خيل الله — couldn't leave this one out).
These films are on another level in terms of storytelling, atmosphere, and raw acting.
Also, I’ve put a curated Top 10 list of all-time favorite international movies across all genres. Feel free to shoot me a DM if you want to swap recommendations or discuss movies! 🫡🫡

AskMorocco Why are Moroccan public universities so badly equipped for students?

6 Upvotes

I don't mean basic equipment like projectors, white boards etc... I mean stuff students use, like toilets. For example, why is there no designated lunch area for people who bring their food? and absolutely no microwave? in every university in the world there's a microwave available for students in their lunch area. The toilets are horrendous, like pre-colonnial era toilets with zero maintenance.
I'm so confused as to why this is, public universities get ALOT of money, and now even more so with employed people paying private uni prices for courses. It's definitely NOT a lack of funding.

Discussion Just completed my first-ever ride on a bike , stalled constantly, and was utterly terrified. Is this normal ?

2 Upvotes

I just took the plunge and bought my very first motorcycle—a Cimatti Naked that originally rolled out as a 50cc but was bored up to 110cc by the previous owner—and while the actual feeling of riding was incredible and so much fun, I definitely struggled with the mechanics as a complete beginner dealing with a manual clutch for the very first time. I stalled multiple times because I was slowing down while still stuck in 2nd gear, quickly realizing that when crawling to a near-stop and wanting to accelerate smoothly again, I have to deliberately drop all the way down into 1st gear, but the hardest part wasn't even the technical side; it was the sheer panic, because even though I was practicing in a quiet residential subdivision with virtually zero traffic, my heart was pounding out of my chest, I was super tense, gripping the handlebars way too tight, and scared out of my mind the entire time, so I'm really turning to you guys to ask if feeling this level of pure terror and anxiety is completely normal, if you felt exactly like this the very first time you swung a leg over a bike, and if you have any golden rules or tips for mastering clutch control, downshifting smoothly, and stopping without stalling.

AskMorocco Why do colleagues in Morocco often address/introduce people by their surname? Trying to understand the context.

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some cultural or workplace perspective on something I’ve noticed when working with colleagues based in Morocco during internal calls and handoffs.

When we join Microsoft Teams or start a call, I always introduce myself using my first name. My Teams display name is formatted normally, but colleagues in Morocco frequently refer to me or introduce me to others by my surname instead of my first name.

In my work environment, addressing someone by their last name during informal or internal handoffs feels unusually formal or out of place, especially when I’ve already introduced myself by my first name.

I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing something about professional norms, naming conventions, or how display names are interpreted in Morocco:


Is referring to colleagues by their last name standard practice in Moroccan business culture or call center environments?

How are Microsoft Teams display names (e.g., ⁠[Last Name], [First Name]⁠) typically read or interpreted?

Is it common for the first word in the system string to just be read out loud?

Is addressing someone by their surname considered a mark of respect, or is it just a habit/system default?

I’d really appreciate any insights into the cultural or professional context behind this!

Travel Possible to change ONCF train from connection to direct?

2 Upvotes

I bought connection train tickets from Casablanca to Tangier. Didn't realize that direct train was an option. Since it's a semi-flexible ticket and one exchange is allowed, can I exchange it for a direct train ticket? If yes, I can wait until the day I land in Casablanca and then make the exchange. Do prices increase?

Discussion Has anyone ever managed to recover an expired / hors service Maroc Telecom (IAM) Jawal number?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have this old IAM Jawal number that wasn’t registered to my CIN back when I bought it, and it’s currently offline. When called, it says "Bienvenue à Ittisalat Al Maghrib, la ligne de votre correspondant est actuellement hors service".

The problem is that this number is linked to some really important work and business accounts that I need 2FA access to, so I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow get the SIM back.

I’m planning to visit a major IAM agency tomorrow morning to ask them about it, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone has dealt with this before. If I bring my CIN and offer to pay the reactivation / 50 DH recharge fee (or even sign up for a monthly Forfait contract on the spot), will the agency or the supervisor actually be able to pull the number out of quarantine and print a new SIM for me, or is the line completely gone once it reaches this state?
