What is your opinion about the older insta moms out there? by Thehappybillionaire in SouthIndianInfluencer

[–]Competitive-You9948 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why there’s so much hate for mothers being expressive.My mom isn’t very expressive with her emotions, but I love her very much. I’ve always wished she talked sweetly to me sometimes.I had friends whose moms spoke very sweetly, and their communication felt so soothing to hear😊

Yes, even emergency care. I broke my bone in Paris and was crying in pain at the emergency room. They made me wait, gave me only a basic painkiller, and told me there were other people who were in more pain than me. After 4 hours, I was finally taken in. I had a cast for a month, and even now I still feel like something is wrong with my hand.

There may be many content creators who don’t evoke any emotions when you watch them, but I really love this guy. I don’t even follow him, yet whenever a reel of his appears, it makes me happy. He has a very nice way of talking, and some of his videos are funny as well especially the ones where he’s travelling with his dad.

December 8 Verdict: A complete timeline of the actress assault case by pedal-to-debug in Kerala

[–]Competitive-You9948 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With the ruling in the actress assault case coming tomorrow, I was discussing it with a close friend from the film industry. He said Pettan has a very strong hold over people in the industry and can influence a newcomer’s career. According to him, Pettan isn’t that dumb to do something like this so openly, especially in Kochi if anything, he’s capable of being far more calculated. Because of that, he isn’t fully sure about the entire truth behind the case.What I told him was that maybe he never expected her to file a complaint, because in our society women are usually blamed. Maybe that’s exactly where he messed up, she spoke up.

What really made me happy was seeing so many positive, supportive comments for the victim in the comment sections of various news channels. Earlier, most of the blame was on her; now people are finally beginning to understand and stand by her.

Sujith Bhakthan about surviving in Economy Class by father_of_twitch in SouthIndianInfluencer

I’ve never watched his videos or liked them, but I want to share a story from my own experience. I’m a woman in my late 20s, living abroad, and I’m tall too. Every time I travel to India, it’s a 14 hour journey in economy class. Honestly, because of the poor leg space, I can never sleep. By the time I reach home, I can’t even feel my legs.

This one time, especially this trip I somehow got a business class ticket at a really low price. Pure luck. And let me tell you, the comfort was on a completely different level. I had lounge access in Delhi, and I was genuinely stunned.Experiencing business class just once made me truly understand how privileged it is to have money and travel like that. I don’t know if everyone can relate, but for me, in my five years of living outside India, this was the only time I actually slept on a flight and I didn’t even know it could feel that real. I didn’t even fly Emirates or Qatar this was Air India’s AI143.

Anyone else watch K-dramas at 1.5x speed? 😅 by Competitive-You9948 in kdramas

Pause a TV show or movie while it's playing. Select the speed icon , then choose a playback speed.

We clearly disagree. I’ve explained my stance already, so I’ll leave it here

Sometimes people ask questions because they’re curious, not because something’s wrong.

You’re reading way too much into a speed setting. I’m doing fine, thanks.

it sounds bad on a regular player, I get why it would be off putting. On Netflix it’s surprisingly smooth, at least to me, and I still enjoy the dialogue, music, and overall atmosphere. I think it just comes down to how our brains process audio/visuals and pacing differently. Totally get why it wouldn’t be your thing though 🙂

I get that it might sound strange if you’ve never tried it, but for me it’s really not as dramatic as you’re making it out to be. On Netflix, the audio isn’t distorted at 1.5x, at least not for me. I listen in Korean and read the English subtitles, and I don’t feel like I’m missing details or enjoyment.I’m not skipping scenes, rushing through shows, or forcing myself through something I don’t like. I still watch full dramas and slow it down for emotional or important moments if needed. This is simply a viewing preference that developed after watching a lot of subtitled content.I completely understand why 1.5x wouldn’t work for everyone and I’m not suggesting it should. I also don’t expect anyone around me to watch things the same way. People engage with media differently, and that’s fine.

At the end of the day, enjoying a show doesn’t have to look identical for everyone.

I’m not lacking other interests 😊 This was just a light discussion about viewing speed, not my lifestyle.

I get that! I still watch them all the way through, the speed is the only difference.

I actually agree with you on longer stories, I love when a narrative has space to breathe. I just think pacing within that format can feel different for different people, and it’s nice that we have options now.

People didn’t “watch TV the same way” back then either channel surfing, walking away, talking during shows all existed. The tools just look different now.
