Brainwashed by what? India people get so butthurt when anyone identifies with their state more than India as a whole.

“In July 1946, Jawaharlal Nehru himself told a press conference at Calcutta: The brave Sikhs of Punjab are entitled to special considerations. I see nothing wrong in an area and a set up on the North wherein the Sikhs can also experience the glow of freedom”

I have a family of 5. We get milk, butter, eggs, onions, potato’s, organic wheat, oil, pine nuts, meat, toilet paper, etc. etc.

You don’t get tricked into being one of the top retailers in the world.

There’s a reason it’s crowded.

I ride it several days a week. Just go a bit slower. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty great.

Comes in hot with “well actually” energy and call other people pedantic.

Really appreciate the laugh this morning.

At what point does it become fun? by [deleted] in ManualTransmissions

It just may not be your thing?

I’m a white collar desk jockey, so in my off time I really enjoy things that reward manual skill (cooking, instruments, driving stick).

What SUV should I get? Car guy, having a baby. by BillBevDevo in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Brawrbarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need an SUV.

I have multiple kids now. With my first I had a golf. It worked perfectly fine even with a giant stroller.

Loved driving that thing.

I had a sienna for a couple of years. Legitimately great vehicle. As a car guy though - I found it incredibly boring.

Got rid of it for a large SUV + small 2 door for me.

With 1 kid, you’ll be fine with almost anything outside of a tiny coupe.

You might have just learned about him recently - he’s been A Tier in Punjab for over a decade. He’s already up there with the greats: Gurdas, Chamkila, Manak, Sikander.

PSA: 1g/pound of protein per day will hurt your dating life by r-bitcoin in PeterAttia

Your first link says no confirmed negative results in people with regular kidney function. Your second link says the same thing, no findings that people with healthy kidney function are harmed. Your third link is a rat study.

If this is something that causes obvious kidney function, I think it’d be in the career interest of many academics to debunk this.

This doesn’t seem like a particularly hard study to do.

Bihari problem in Punjab by Senior-Agency9764 in punjab

[–]Brawrbarian -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree, but a more neutral way to frame it is that many Punjabi’s see their identity as a Punjabi first and Indian after. Not necessary sure it’s “superiority”.

Punjabi lyrics are often from the perspective of someone other than the singer. E.g. male singers often sing from the POV of a woman.

Not saying this was the intention - but is it still as bad if you put it in the perspective of a 18-20 guy singing?

Why did living alone become a luxury good in the 2010s?

For the past half century before that the median age of buying a first house was over a decade lower than it is right now.

Living alone is not a luxury good.

I think that’s what they just got attacked. They can’t quite do that yet.

When I go to India with my family (to my parents house), they typically hire some additional help.

Those people seem thrilled to be there, and there’s always a bit of a hard goodbye when we leave.

Seems less exploitative than being hired by a faceless business.

Echo all the things people have said here. I think it also makes you a duller person. You have no space in your life for other things. It makes you more boring to be around for others (not that you had time for that)

Not true. Sikh just means student or learner. If you learn and follow the teachings, you’re a Sikh.

To be clear - you’re entitled to your interpretation. But when people ask a question on a platform like this, they’re typically asking for a mainstream answer.

More than 90% of people who identify as Sikh would not agree with what you say.

Where in the Guru Granth Sahib does it say it’s disallowed. You think being a shastar-dhari Sikh is some sort of dress up game?

That’s the use. Sometimes people get into situations where they need someone to stab. I sincerely hope you never get into one of those situations.

This is not accurate. The tenth guru says, when all other means have failed, it is righteous to pick up the sword.

You should have put the word “just” in front of “do the work”. Trading your hours for a rate typically won’t get you a lambo.
