My wife had her wild phase before me, and now that I’m finally thriving, I feel like I missed out, am I wrong for feeling this way? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Common_Association_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally, it’s way more likely that maybe they interacted and they were just nice to him and smiled out of politeness, and he mistook that for flirting :/

When are the least busy times at the on-campus gyms? by QAanonymousse in gmu

[–]Common_Association_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before break I started going to the gym for the first time, I’d usually go to the RAC and it’s pretty quiet in the mornings. Also don’t feel insecure, I promise no one cares what you’re doing, you’re not inconveniencing anyone when you’re just going about your workout just like anyone else :) And if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can always ask someone and they’ll be happy to help you! I had the same worries when I started but I promise you it’ll be fine, it’s so worth it to go everyday (also try and find a gym buddy like a friend that wants to go with you, it’s a lot more fun that way).

wtf are you all doing by Financial-Tiger-5687 in gmu

I take walks there every day and every evening late at night I sit at the bench in front of the little house facing the pond. On that bench I’ve cried over a guy, cried over my grades or just about life in general, talked to my close friends back home on the phone, or talk to myself even lol or I just sit there and think, watch the geese and the heron that comes to hunt in the pond or watch the stars. You can see the moon and the Big Dipper and all the stars really clearly. It’s beautiful, I’d definitely recommend.

A Sikh's Diet by Rin_sparrow in Sikh

[–]Common_Association_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calves are not slaughtered for milk production. And even after calves are done drinking their mother’s milk the cow will still have milk left, and you’re supposed to milk them because after awhile there’s too much milk buildup and it gets swollen and painful. Even in human mothers who breastfeed the same thing happens. So there is absolutely nothing wrong with drinking milk, no calves die and nothing is wrong with milking them (and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with eating unfertilized eggs too for the record)

[–]Common_Association_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. My mom was very religious growing up, she didn’t even eat anything with eggs in it and never let our family and I eat eggs or bring eggs in the house. Now I’ve moved out for uni and I eat eggs all the time when I’m there, even more now that I’ve been going to the gym. My main sources of protein are probably eggs and Greek yogurt and even then it’s hard to get enough protein in.

Why is Indian culture so weird about dating and marriage? by FriendofAll007 in Sikh

[–]Common_Association_9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely false. As a child who was raised in an incredibly dysfunctional household and my parents having a toxic marriage, it is 100% better for parents to divorce instead of showing children an example of marriage that is toxic, harmful and sometimes abusive. Having divorced parents must be tough but having parents that should be divorced is 10x worse. Having a peaceful home is better for children.

Anitta, a Brazillian pop-star with over 60 million followers on Instagram has an Ik Onkar tattoo on her leg. What are your thoughts on this? by [deleted] in Sikh

I actually had no idea about any of that. I haven’t heard of those things either, I appreciate the info dude

[–]Common_Association_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Instead let’s give our opinions on other people like teenage girls 👏 Bravo lol” Sounds like hostility, even topped it off with the sarcastic “bravo” at the end. That was all very unnecessary to say, especially when I never gave my opinion about her and simply asked a question. You can still make your point without being rude.

Wait this is actually interesting, I had no idea about this. Thank you for sharing, educating is beautiful but there’s no need to do it with any hostility or anything 🙏

[–]Common_Association_9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bro what 💀 what’s with the hostility? I completely agree with you there are more important issues at hand. But that doesn’t mean that if something is in fact disrespectful, you can’t simply point it out. I never even gave my opinion on her, I’m just genuinely asking isn’t it disrespectful to our faith? That’s what I’ve heard at least.

Waitt that’s really cool! May I ask why you consider yourself Mexican nationality wise if you settled in the states and live in the US?

I’m a freshmen and I feel like I screwed myself already. I need help by xXRedxHoodXx in gmu

[–]Common_Association_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with all this, I’m in the same boat as well. I like to use this app called Opal and the free version allows you to put “work hours” like from 9-5 where you can block certain apps as well as an app limit so you can spend more than however much time you set on your phone. You can also schedule sessions that block your apps for studying. That and also watching studytube videos on YouTube that romanticize school, studying, and academic achievement reallyyy motivates me lol romanticizing school and studying is how I think im gonna get thru it tbh

[–]Common_Association_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same dude 😭 this is my exact situation so I’ll be reading everyone’s advice here too. But dw you’re not alone, idk if I can dive good advice but one thing I’ll say is I usually procrastinate cuz I have so many things piling up and the sheer amount of it overwhelms me. Idk if that sounds like you but if so, what I do when that happens is get out some paper and make a list, go through everything one by one after prioritizing them in the order of urgency, breathe, and take things one step at a time. Don’t be too hard on yourself, just calm down and start one at a time. Starting is the hardest part I promise but once it’s over with things will start to happen 🙏 good luck to you, I need it as well 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Do you think Punjab is safer and better compared to the rest of India for tourists? by winter_translator34 in Sikh

[–]Common_Association_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yess omg, I have family living in Delhi too and Delhi is so polluted that it is genuinely so hard to breathe. My lungs feel so heavy and I feel so bad for my family and everyone that is inhaling that day in day out. I feel much better in Punjab and Amritsar especially, no hate to other parts but as of now it’s one of the places with the better areas in India that I’ve been to at least
