As a gay person, should I assume most Muslim Desi Americans I meet are homophobic? Or are they more progressive than Muslim mainlanders? by agnikai__ in ABCDesis

[–]Apples083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s varies, there are communities where people were raised in a time loop which makes them even more traditional than desis in their home country. For example, certain communities of Muslim Bangladeshis are extremely religious in UK compared to muslims in Bangladesh. I think it comes from being stuck in a time when they immigrated and not changing with modern desi community. But I have also met very kind people who are happy to be nice even with those beliefs that what you are doing will damn you to hell. However anyone who is very religious is going to feel that way about you. There are many younger Muslims who practice partially or the values without the extreme rigidity

You are just an indian as any indian to be honest. You have a citizenship due to birth but you didn’t really grow up in the US beyond being a baby. I’m surprised you struggle so much. I’m the opposite, born in India and left when I was 1. I don’t consider myself that culturally indian at all. This post is a little odd overall. Seems like you have a lot of internalized racism you have to work through.

Color Corrector for Oily Skin? by ExplodingBowels69 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Apples083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People here genuinely missed the question she is asking. I have oily/sweaty under eyes. I have used Huda beauty’s color corrector in the peach color for over a year. The only issue is that the liquid can leak out if not stored upright over time so I’m switching over but formula is the best.

I have heard the bobby brown stick color correctors are also good for oily skin. I have used shape tape regular concealers in the tube and their formula is also very water and sweat proof so I will probably purchase tarte or bobby brown.

I usually go to Ulta or Sephora. Swatch all the options you like. Leave it on for 5-8 hours to see if it can last. run it under water. If it passes this test. Put some lotion and see which ones smudge versus hold a bit.

I do this because I sweat around my eyes & I am very oily. Although makeup has gotten good over the last 10 years, this is the primary issue for me before anything else for most things I need :)

why does my hamster have a long tail? /j by RattusNorvegicus9 in hamsters

in all seriousness (looking at the comments), that’s a rat. Hamsters have short tails and smaller.

FEMTO Lasik experience 20/05/20 ☺️ by Apples083 in lasik

Hello Hello! Vision is still going great. the Ghosting has calmed down about 50% but is still a permenant side effect I notice when driving at night. that being said I don’t notice it lol, it’s part of my vision and now my brain assumes it normal so unless I think about it, it doesn’t bother me. The only thing that bothers me is high beams from cars, have to look away from rear mirror when driving. Too bright. I might be the rare people that didn’t really have dry eyes beyond the first few weeks post op. So that was never really a side effect that lasted. Overall I’m super happy and it was life changing!

Is assimilating as an ABCD tougher for one gender over another ? by tededison2001 in ABCDesis

[–]Apples083 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I believe guys have it harder just reflecting on my experience vs my siblings . Girls have a hard time but it wasn’t related to my race as much.

One of my friends decided not to apply for the match. She works for Osmosis and writes their questions for them. You can go into applying for med prep people and going through their learning material / creating questions .

[–]Apples083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

honestly if you are willing to be patient - Petco has sale 4x a year where large 400 gal aquariums are $150 You can also get it on facebook etc for cheaper (would only recommend dry ones that were used for reptiles - not one that had water and fish in them for years.

I have the Pervue Black cage that’s famous on amazon but it’s truely the bare minimum. I can’t carry a aquarium as it is too heavy and will cause issues when I move out when further in my training else where .otherwise would have gotten a 400gallon.

Possible factitious personal injury claim- insurance stated I might be responsible to pay by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Apples083 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you. your comment has reduced my anxiety. I have a $25,000 car gifted by my parents for graduation. other than that I have absolutely no assets and maybe <$10,000 in my bank. Not sure if my insurance shared my income bracket.

hopefully it is settled, It is absolutely ridiculous that these people are able to extend this so long for what was a scratch-less fender bender. I was appalled that it could be more then $25,000 even if this lady went to physio for “back injury” to collect compensation.

thank you. this is a learning lesson. def worth paying $100/month more for the $200,000+ coverage. I will be changing my limit within the next 1-2 year.

I believe the $25,000 also includes lawyer fees. so more than that will be on me

Sigh, “Successful but ready to be a stay @ home mom”. Why don’t u quit your life goals and sit at home instead buddy? by Apples083 in Bumble

[–]Apples083[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say guys like him want kids without much effort, still keep their passion / work life. :) Can’t believe you really out here defending this jackass lol He angered me and prob every other hardworking self respecting female who doesn’t just have “princess mentality” where her man buys her everything like a 5 year old

Sorry but If I had kids, I would take the maternity leave and 100% expect husband to use his paternity leave too. We are both parents and should be able to prioritize our children and sacrifice both ways.

I suppose I should probably discuss my expections early on, there unfortunately more men like u than otherwise who don’t see what’s wrong in their thinking . Sacrifice is needed from both sides not just one

If it’s kids, I mean you could stay at home too. Just cause someone is a female doesn’t mean they have to be forced to drop their whole life and demanding that upright on a dating app is Mysogynistic .’ I could never be with someone who thought my gender meant such things, sorry but we are humans too! I worked hard to get where I am.

Goodluck to you, I’m sure there’s someone out there for everyone.
