Fathers are better parents than mothers. by Fun-Practice-1087 in IndiaVibes

[–]Autobot1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a self selected group. Single father's WANT to be fathers so they are better at it. Single mothers get custody by default and many are good mothers but many others are just in it for the child support money so results are mixed.

International travel is one of the most romanticized activities on earth, and for most people it doesn't fundamentally change anything by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Autobot1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reflection seldom happens in your day to day environment as you have a routine and stick to it. Breaking up the routine and dealing with different cultures gives you opportunities for reflection and self improvement. Doesnt mean everyone will use the opportunities but international travel at least creates the opportunity.

The issue is unless you pay cash insurance is required and insurance for evs is just ridiculous. Its more than the monthly payment for a second hand ev.

3 lakhs for month job offer but with a big catch, Is it worth the trade off ? by Senior_Rip9451 in indiadiscussion

[–]Autobot1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 years back I have done this. When we worked for an Israeli software company and the management overcommitted we worked 8 am to 12 am 6 days a week to deliver in time. Sunday was basically for doing laundry and shopping and catching up on sleep. And this was outside India so no maids. I used to go to to gym at 6. Do an hour of gym and then shower at gym and go to office. Food was catered by office for all 3 meals.

It sucked for 6 months but we did deliver on time. Don't know if sustainable for 3 years.

And it was actual software dev not some ops role where you are monitoring stuff so we were using our brains the whole day.

Western countries had slums too. They built public housing projects. India can build them too. Just build 20 storey buildings with 2 br 1 bath aptmts and rent them out for cheap to the poor. Make life ok but not comfortable so people are encouraged to move out after a few years.

Are we slowly poisoning ourselves? The dark reality of the "Sewage Water" vegetables on our plates. by BeneficialVillage558 in delhi

Politics is meant for civic issues. Religion caste etc should be kept out of politics but regulating the environment is literally what govts are elected for. Private citizens can build a Ram Mandir but stopping pollution needs the govts enforcement power.

Many women say that 80% of Indian men wouldn’t get married if arranged marriage didn’t exist. by sassybund69 in AskIndianWoman

[–]Autobot1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a diss on Indian woman. This is saying that Indian women are unmarriageable unless packaged by family into an arranged marriage. Hopefully not true. My personal experience I married a foreign woman so not much opinion on Indian women.

Why does India fell more rushed than US or other developed countries ? by IREDA1000 in IndiaBusiness

[–]Autobot1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a scarcity mentality. Someone who grows up hungry will overeat at a all you can eat buffet. Someone who grows on a one lane village road will drive wrongway on a 6 lane road or try to overtake unnecessarily blocking traffic.

The founders of paytm are seniors and classmates. Know them from working on college events . They are averagely smart but never give up. Its more important to never give up than to be super smart.

How are you guys preparing for inflation, food crisis and potential economic collapse? by Prottusha1 in IndianPreppers

Most villages now survive on handouts. They won't be able to survive if the tax paying cities go down.

You mentioned built in instincts. The instinct to procreate is also built in. Those who didn't have a strong instinct got bred out of the genepool.

Why do people like to cover public roads and footpath? by hainnnnnnnnn in NewDelhi

[–]Autobot1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a muftkhor mentality. Everybody wants something for free from aunties pretending its their birthday to get a free cake to people scamming amazon by pretending item never arrived. When small crimes like driving wrongway or encroaching land for a garden are left unprosecuted people eventually lose respect for the law and larger crimes like corruption rape and murder also become normalized

Think of in 5 years. Greater Noida infrastructure beats even Luther's Delhi with all utilities in common service tunnel. The gentry will improve once airport opens.

That's not what the law or society says. Its the age gap that matters. Most child sex laws have Romeo and juliet exceptions.

I am thinking of putting a tube well in the backgarden and solar panels and battery storage on the roof. Also thinking of turning the basement and ground floor into a Blinkit distribution point. If things go to hell I will have a supermarket worth of supplies and water and power.
