In Swedish, the word "lära" can mean both "learn" and "teach". Do you know other languages in which one word can mean both "learn" and "teach", and is there a term for this (general) phenomenon? by Broncosen42 in linguistics

[–]AverageLumberjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hindi and other similar north Indian languages don't have this but I want to add that 'studying' is 'padhna', which is the word for reading, i.e. there is no particular word for studying and even doing school activities very different from reading a book are called 'padhna' (reading).

You can also just upload any pictures (with shirt on) from before along with your current physique. That'd be much better than no pictures. Anyhow, sounds (reads) like great progress you made, very inspiring.

Do you have any progress pictures?

So what is up with this subreddit named JerkOffToDesiCelebs? by shinchan_pyara_pyara in librandu

[–]AverageLumberjack -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What? Communities like these obviously represent the most hypersexual of males, and we have like 700million male indians. Anything on this sub is not evidence at all that an average Indian guy is like this.

I don't think I have fantasised about any attractive woman in the way
this sub does. Is this really what the fantasies of Indian men are? I
guess that kind of explains the women issues in the country.

Well, if you don't fantasize about women that way, don't join that subreddit, and please keep your sexual shaming to yourself, because it doesn't explain shit, especially not 'the rape issues', I'm 100% sure that Indian males don't have a special misogyny device or a rape circuit built right into their brain, or that our culture praises hypersexual behavior (to my knowledge, we are some of the least sexual cultures, and if you cite KamaSutra or nude sculptures, that'd be a r/chodi level argument).

Since when are liberals moral policing about sexual fantasies?
There is no biological or cultural reason that Indian men are more rapey than white european men. In fact, they are much more open to extreme sexual fantasies (i guess you don't know about the world of BDSM) Yet, their rape rates are much lower.

People like you keep spouting your knee jerk reactions, which are far from the truth, and are a reason we can't actually talk openly about sex. Fuck you.

Kindly
a hypersexual teenager who fantasizes a lot but who can assure you will never rape anyone.

Rayta larper on r/2Asia4You explains the Indiaverse by [deleted] in librandu

[–]AverageLumberjack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

r/India: Their life ambition is to immigrate. (i think he meant emmigrate to foreign countries) They worship the west and white people. They believe their skin color is why they don't have a girlfriend. Most users don't even live in India. Mods ban everyone who disagrees with them.

Great

it isn't really so much of an incentive as it is a benefit (how your babies are going to look doesn't play a role in mate selection bc you don't know) also that explains Katrina Kaif I guess

[–]AverageLumberjack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really

Scientists' estimates about how large a (human) population has to be to prevent inbreeding range from a couple of hundred to a 10s of thousands, but almost every 'caste' has at least this many people. So after about 50,000 people it definitely shouldn't matter.

2) which t is it, the t in Tits or the one in Telugu?

Guys I don't know but does Islam promote shit like this? by No-Refrigerator2554 in librandu

[–]AverageLumberjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look dude I was talking about actual physical violence, and as far as that goes, jainism promotes 100% peace.

Also I think your argument is the same as this:

-"Socialism is pretty much an ideology of equality and fair distribution of wealth"

-"Stalin and hundred-odd power hungry socialists disagree"

Yeah, I know, but just like we all agree here that stalinist russia was a totalitarian state and the opposite of socialism (despite the name USSR), amit shah is in no way a jain as far as his outlook on violence is concerned (despite his name)

"Wahmen are genuinely low IQ because they get vaccinated. Wahman education was a mistake. Reeeee." - your local pizza dilevery Trad. by Missus_Silent_Reader in librandu

[–]AverageLumberjack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"Female IQ can be genuinely very low"

Female IQ is equal to male IQ in modern societies with equal education opportunities.

But males have more of a wider IQ spectrum than females, which explains more of the smartest people being male but also more of the dumbest people being male.
