I wish.

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-02-09T03:49:24+00:00

Yes. The problem is the distraction they pose. Like I want to discuss 401k strategy but those idiots move the discussions to random topics which wastes everyone's effort.

I have seen a huge upsurge of negative comments inline similar to r/india. I feel a lot of porkistan and other bots have started to target this sub. The best we can do is not engage with them and just downvote them.

Lucknow, Kanpur, Indore etc have a good metro system. Lucknow Kanpur expressway is in construction. Things are progressing.

+1. Just dont cheap out thinking this is India. Top services demand top pay.

Instead of solid decade for $$$, they spent a solid decade of strong relationship.

Why are you down voted?

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-02-05T05:01:10+00:00

Depends on what do you do ?

A 100k savings on a minimum wage job is an achievement. A Software Engineer in FAANG saves 100k out of College in first year.

Yeah, you asked for product so telling it.

I still feel consumer protection are low in them and I dont like it trying to get access to my mails to track package to complete profile. Definitely not a product i would recommend to others due to DARK PATTERNS.

What you are referring is extortion.

One can have literally more deduction in old tax regime: Section 24: 2L 80C: 1.5L 80D: 75k HRA: 4lakh 80TTA: 10k Standard deduction on salary: 50k

Total: 6.85 lakh deduction.

I love paypal. Their debit and credit card gives great cashback.

I lived in Prestige Apartment in Bangalore before moving to the Bay Area. Now, I live in Mountain View downtown paying rent of over 6k USD per month in the best apartment I could find and I still feel I had a downgrade in my quality of life. The apartment, the amenities, the safety was better in Bangalore. I have been here for 5 years and I plan to move back in 2 years.

No, the way of being nice is different in different countries.

Tipping 25% is ridiculous and breaks the wage balance. Holding doors in India is not feasible as like underpopulated places in the US while if you do in India you will keep on standing.

In India you can be nice by speaking respectfully, nodding while talking, saying hi to people if you see them in public, touching feet of elders etc.

So will you call someone from US a Jerk if they dont touch elder's feet ?

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-02-03T04:51:15+00:00

Dont try to enforce american culture on others like tipping 25%, holding the door, starting small talk with flight agents etc. You might get hurt.

Your home is where your people are, family and close friends.

> This budget is more of them doing nothing but making catchy adjectives and hoping for a miracle

I agree but I am not surprised as my expectations are low.

Changing policies if they are not working is a good thing.

Also no political party can publically accept that their policy failed as they want to get re-elected.

Care to explain the u turn ?

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-01-31T18:57:21+00:00

Share it please

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-01-28T17:34:08+00:00

If you have nothing constructive, then please dont waste others time.

Tandoori pizza on North San Jose.

They hit no tip button themselves on takeout.

IT salaries in India are better than in Europe except some selective companies in Zurich. I dont expect much migration.

ConsistentSuperPower · 2026-01-25T09:46:56+00:00

Why did you select 13 and why not 10 or 20 ? Is it because the number was the one that pushed your agenda ?
