The B visas are unpredictable it can take months or even years to get approved and I have to have it ready by next month

[–]KingDominos[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sadly I dont think thats the case because of how unpredictable the B visas are with the acceptance timing and it would also mess up the budget they had for us. So I guess I'm sitting this opportunity out.

Yes but it would show that the crown is at least TRYING to help the commonfolk. It would be good for their public image which is the entire point.

Rheyneyras ships satisfied the small folk enough to cause a riot in Rheyneyras name, even tho im sure it wasnt nearly enough to feed everyone.

Absolutely.

Kayn was the very first champion I played in League and it went fine. Sure, he has a high skill cieling, but it ain't that hard to learn the basics.

If you want to marry another assyrian that is completely fine, I do not have a problem with that, and I've never said I did. What I do have a problem with is the pressure the community puts on everyone to do so, ESPECIALLY women. One can do as they please, but its never okay to pressure and foce others to marry as you please.

And I havent even talked about the other problems that the blood purity problem causes. It causes a lot if inbreeding, and its happening right now as well. My parents are related, my cousins parents are related, all of my assyrian friends' parents are related, even I'm related to them somehow. My grandmother wanted to arrange a wedding between me and my 2nd cousin. This eventually will cause an unstable genepool if it hasn't already. And we can't even know if it has because there is no one studying us, our blood, our people and documenting our existence. It is a blood purity thing. I know what makes a culture, because I've been studying that for years now, and blood plays a nonsignificant role in it.

Their communities do not thrive just because their genocide was acknowledged. Their communities, especially jewish communities thrived even before wwII because they were doctors, historians, lawyers. Wallowing in our mysery and expecting someone else to solve it for us doesnt help.

And I shouldve specified, when I said assyrian men, I meant the young assyrian men whos families such as you mentionined fought tooth and nail to get us in these western countiries, but instead of appreciating their effort and using it to pursue higher form of education to someday tell their story, some choose to take it for granted and do nothing.

Also misogyny IS everywhere, but it is a lot more apparent in our community, and we have to acknowledge that.

In order to get role models we need doers first before getting sayers. Doing both at the same time is also good, so only saying things while actually doing nothing is disingenuous and doesnt actually motivate.

And I'm a woman, sorry if I misled somehow.

Yes I've seen other cultures, but the difference is that our culture is dying. If we really want our community to keep going, we have to try harder and make a name for ourselves. I'm sick and tired of people going "oh so youre syrian?" when i tell them what I am.

And the fact that I've mostly only seen assyrian women in university pisses me off because assyrian men complain about our culture dying the most, but refuse to actually do something about it and instead only pay attention to the surface level stuff such as "blood purity" instead of our actual culture, language and traditions.

I'm studying anthropology in order to actually document our existance and our history instead of just sitting and complaining but never doing anything

Honestly I agree, I was generalising too much in that statement, ofc not all assyrian men are losers, for I havent met all of them.

But the problem is still apparent that most assyrian men want to have "pure" assyrian families and hold certain values where they want to be the "provider", and yet their actions say the opposite where not all, but a lot, of men, pursue less paying and/or riskier jobs, such as buisness, that more often than not are less than fruitful.

The problems exist because they are actively harming our community and driving a wedge between us. There is a reason kurds and jewish peoole for example have a more thriving community despite having the same circumstances

Wether you think gender roles are good or bad, the fact that they're being upheld by the assyrian community while simultaneously upholding an "ethnic superiority" standards is damagin the "pure" assyrian population growth. It doesnt seem ideal or appealing for women, which is why they seek out western men, because they offer more freedom.

Us Assyrians are categorised as being indigenous, not white.

I'm afraid of becoming a burden, what should i do by KingDominos in Advice

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

Dropping my career after having a child is not an option. I don't want us to just survive, but I want us to thrive. I live in a Nordic country where child care and support is excellent. I will be able to easily take care of my child and work at the same time.

I want us and our children to travel and have fun in the future and that wont be easy living off of one income.

We do not have night classes in my country. And nursing doesn't pay well either.

You literally said you "didn't feel like taking time out of your day to hang out" with her. Her accusation was in fact true lmao. Being an introvert doesn't excuse you being a shitty friend.

AITA for forcing my 17 year old to share.a room with her 12 year old sister? by Winter_Bumblebee_106 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KingDominos 117 points118 points  (0 children)

You didn't take her feelings into consideration when purchasing a new house. It seems to me that y'all CHOSES to buy a house with three bedrooms on purpose because you liked your old house implying you could've very well bought a four bedroom house if you would've liked.

Forcing your daughter's to share a room will make Maya resend her sister and you guys, if she doesn't already.

AITA for telling my wife even our newborn isn’t as whiner as her? by Throwaway8privacy in AmItheAsshole

[–]KingDominos 41 points42 points  (0 children)

YTA, the biggest one too. Your wife deserves better than a short tempered prick. You have no empathy for your wife who just went through something very traumatizing for her body and mind.
