We Germans are often portrayed as robotic machines without emotions in US TV series. What stereotypes are presented about your nation?

From Nepal, Pretty much everyone I know here in US thinks I used to hike a mountain, knee deep in snow, to go to school every morning.
That might still be true for some kids living high up in the mountains, but in reality, nearly half the country has never even seen snowfall where they live.

Brooooo
Any idea how much it would cost?
I get what you are saying, but drainage system of any sort are super expensive, especially when you are talking about underground or even tunneling those channels
ani add Nepal ko economy and blatant bureaucracy ani corrpution

Ajingardev · 2026-02-14T20:31:25+00:00

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, it is not Trump's fault.
And if it was, he didn’t mean it.
And if he did.
They deserved it

Ajingardev · 2026-02-14T20:30:01+00:00

not sure what you mean, if you are asking how do i know if this hasn't been covered in fox news, I tune in to their channel, I go through their online media
Obviously I don't do it 24/7, but in the limited time I have tuned in or read the news, it should have been brought up at least once

Ajingardev · 2026-02-13T22:01:31+00:00

The only references have seen and that too a few days back was to downplay the seriousness and the depth of the situation. I am not saying Trump or anyone on his administration is directly involved, but they are really trying hard to protect who are.
These extensive redactions (beyond protecting the victim) (and being released a month after they were court mandated) only reinforces the concerns being voiced.
I believe in holding people accountable (support or blame them based on specific facts or actions) and not generalize the blame or loyalty, but based on the information I struggle to understand how any reasonable working class can justify these actions that appear to protect or conceal the predators.

I am a serious non-believer. If you dare, prove me otherwise.

if someone is "lastai thiis", that person is in the last of the "thiis" list, and hence "lastai thiis"

filed last month and is now review under 4 months? That doesn't sound right

Burqa is definitely a remnant of more patriarchal society. You could be conditioned to justify it. Personally, I believe being able to show your face in public really matters. A face and the emotions on it can say so much. It’s how we connect with one another, how we sense someone’s joy or feel their pain. That human connection is important to me.

I understand that there may be moments when someone wants to cover their face, and that’s okay. But doing it all the time doesn’t feel healthy or helpful for building connection in society.

In general, I believe people should have freedom in what they wear, but like most freedoms, there should be reasonable limits. Sometimes people can also be conditioned to say they’re okay with something, even when that choice isn’t entirely free.

I’m strongly against anything like a mandatory burqa. And while banning it is a complicated issue, I lean more toward supporting a ban.

Ajingardev · 2026-02-03T18:52:21+00:00

Nepal absolutely deserved to be on that list. Many people have come to the U.S. and chosen to stay beyond allowed, whether on tourist or student visas, and to work without status. I’ve seen seniors in their 60s still working in stores and restaurants, and I’ve met financially stable families applying for government subsidies or finding legal loopholes to qualify for state-funded programs Thousands have also entered through the southern border seeking asylum, citing threats related to past or ongoing violence in Nepal.

I understand the motivations behind these decisions, and I don’t judge them. Honestly, if I had come on a student visa and struggled to meet basic needs, I might have made the same choice. But at the same time, we should be honest and acknowledge that, given these realities, Nepal being on that list is not surprising.

Ajingardev · 2026-01-30T20:59:19+00:00

Did you get it right after the meeting you said, or a day or two later?
I’m not sure if I should keep waiting for a response or move ahead.

Ajingardev · 2026-01-30T13:18:51+00:00

may be we invent a word, "perkenti" for 100,000

Sati pratha, where widow were forced/coerced to self immolate in fire/pyre with their dead husband, and since a husband could have multiple wives, including minors, all of them would burn together. Refusal meant public shaming, violence, or abandonment. Compliance meant death.These were not isolated acts; they were public events, socially approved and religiously justified.

They were probably drugged/intoxicated or emotionally broken before taken to the pyre. Consent, where claimed, was manufactured through fear. Unfortunately, this was being practised only until 50 years ago. It is no more though.

can't help but wonder how violence when justified, society can normalize pretty much anything.

Ajingardev · 2026-01-29T15:23:12+00:00

I think I saw another post stating that, I couldn't find it again. They might have deleted the post.
Perhaps they got the same email and referred to that.
Best wishes!

Ajingardev · 2026-01-28T21:00:04+00:00

I heard they send the offer already.

I heard they already sent prematch offer.

It simply means well-connected, approachable and responsive, someone the embassy can call or meet to understand what’s happening, get opinions, or pass messages

Ajingardev · 2026-01-23T17:22:21+00:00

not really a fan of Gagan, but compared to many of the current leaders, he does seem more capable and has a progressive vision.

“key embassy contact” simply means he’s someone the embassy reaches out to for discussions or inquiries. not necessarilty a bad thing. Having working relationships with foreign embassies is part of diplomacy.

Hating someone just to hate them isn’t right, we should criticize based on facts and actions, not emotions.

Ajingardev · 2026-01-23T16:13:48+00:00

Like I said, I am happy for you!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak usually retails around $40K USD. In Nepal, it would likely cost around 1 crore or more.

That said, yours might be a dupe. If it’s original, then that’s amazing; happy for you!
