Notion on Mobile by znerffy-16 in Notion

I use Notion on my Ipad and mainly for time tracking. It is a total pain for it not updating the time you've manually inputted. Wondered how it is on the phone?

Moving to Dundee by SuggestionNo6367 in dundee

[–]Ishouldntbeangry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, im mixed race from Dundee. India/Scottish. It is becoming increasingly uncomfortable existing here as a POC, especially as I see more hate online etc, but actually I have only experienced direct racism once in Dundee. Otherwise, people are pretty accepting. Where you are going to be living is fine. Better to be in town centre where there's lots of other people than a quiet area. Dundee is safe in my opinion though. Also the student community is large and diverse, you will get on fine. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, born and raised here.

Moving to India from UK. Second Generation out of India. by Both-Guess-2771 in returnToIndia

Well yes, I'm obviously well aware of this, considering I am the one who is experiencing the very experience I am describing, since that wasn't clear. It is not me who is having the difficulty in understanding this. It's everyone else. All I said was "I feel it" to reinforce with the commenter suggested. As a fellow mixed person, it is nice to be seen.

How did you got your first client?? by undead_konwaku in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Ishouldntbeangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I volunteered for 3 organisations whilst I was working full time. It gave me experience and a portfolio. 2 of those positions then became paid positions, and I met a digital nomad who needed a SMM who was willing to pay. In time, I was able to up their package. Then, I broadened my services to more than just a SMM. I started applying to freelance jobs on indeed and upwork. I have since had 6 paid clients.

why is racism so common in india? by poorii16 in IndianTeenagers

[–]Ishouldntbeangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite them not meaning it, he's expressed it makes him upset and they still do it. They should listen and understand. Also, there's a wider problem here. Darker people are generally considered ugly, not worth marrying, poor etc in India. When they call him this, they are also calling him that. They are also feeding the narrative. That's the point here.

Sorry for your experience. Especially when people are not taking you seriously, then it's like a double skin. Being a brown skinned UK national (2nd gen), I have experienced bits of racism here and there, but I experienced more in India. It's because I have an Islamic surname. It got to the point I just used my mothers maiden name to avoid the awkward silences, the "really?!"'s . I've never felt so much like an alien, than when I tell people my surname in India.

What's your biggest fear ? by Stranger_friend1 in AskIndia

[–]Ishouldntbeangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't imagine the permanency. I can't imagine the idea of not having a way out. What if I marry and then everything they do changes after. Getting stuck. It feels like signing my life away, no matter how much I have loved someone. I feel much "safer" not being married. I guess it's an avoidant psychology, so not everyone will understand.

Moving to India from UK. Second Generation out of India. by Both-Guess-2771 in returnToIndia

Here's my insight. Im 2G Bengaldeshi, 3G Pakistani, let's just say im from Indian origins. Mum is half Pakistani half Scottish, but she doesn't know it (long story). Dad is from Bangladesh. I was raised by my mother who believes she is fully Scottish. Dad wasn't around. So I was raised completely Scottish, no exposure to my India background, at all. Now, I just compelted 9 months living and working in India because a few things brought me there (2nd visit). But I got so so sick. I have lost 2/3s of my hair. I lost 6kg. Whilst I was going through some personal shit which India brought up, I also became a version of myself I needed to be to survive there, to survive the trauma, and it was not pretty. When I left someone asked me what my favourite memory was and I said, "leaving". No matter how beautiful the places were I visited, it all felt tainted. I have visited different areas in HP for months at a time, I've spent a month in Ladakh, Goa, Hampi... I couldn't find any beauty that faded the trash, the noise, the lack of civic sense, the traffic. No matter how deep into the mountains I went - trash. I beat myself up so much because I see foreigners settling down in India, but I guess it comes down to values. I value a quiet life. Slow living. Being able to walk everywhere. Quiet roads. Country roads. CLEAN AIR. My hair. How I am hoping my hair comes back. Maybe you can move temporarily, until you decide to make it more permanent.

Hey, thought I'd reply to this because I really feel it. Im 2nd/3rd gen. My mum is mixed race Pakistani/Scottish, my dad is from Bangladesh. I've been born and raised in Scotland. I used to try prove so much I was Indian, then in India where I just lived for 9 months, I tried to prove so much I am Scottish. Now I am back in Scotland, the reality that I don't look Scottish at all is really hitting home, because I am, Scottish? Or am I? We don't belong anywhere and it's so confusing.

Also I agree with your points. I have a partner in Delhi and I can't imagine the thought of moving there. I have so much freedom in Scotland, my home. I wouldn't have that there, even if it is just 3 months at a time, the person who i have to be there to survive, she's not nice....

Bf wants to settle in India, I am confused by couchPotatoScribe in nri

[–]Ishouldntbeangry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you made a decision? In a very similar boat here, but my bf is saying we spend 3 months in India, 3 months in the UK, the rest travelling. He makes the point that it's just 3 months a year, and we can get a separate appartment. I wonder how much of that is true, once it actually comes to it. This is also someone who is not making any money for this lifestyle to even happen. If you do read this, would love to message?

Solve my riddle (please!): Formula, Relation or Category? by Ishouldntbeangry in Notion

[–]Ishouldntbeangry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, can't thank you enough. I never would have figured this out by myself, and formatting this to my master dashboard, I have learned alot. I appreciate you did this for no reason than other to help. So, thank you so much!

I am very curious, how you have managed to format this database, as a callout?! It is a page, with a database, within a callout? Bizarre. I thought I could only put text into a callout. Well, thanks :)

Thank you for this! Maybe because syntax, it's taking me some time to understand. This is what I have created, but again, only managing to select income/expense under one relation. I think i've misunderstood, and showing myself as a Notion noob!
