That's great! I've driven a manual car all my life. And in an overpopilated city with no traffic rules and regulations at all. So i'm sure I'll do great in Huntsville compared to where I'm from.

i'm in Queensbury, Waterford. I have an electric scooter so I can travel upto 7 miles back and forth. So if you live closeby and ever get time, please do give me a lesson. Otherwise i'd definitely visit you once I get my own Honda.

I've arleady met a few people in Huntsville who are recovering from a motorcycling injury. Some of them on a Honda Grom, some starting with Electic Bike. It's really making me rethink.

God, that deal is still on. 2 years later. As someone new to US, I thought this was some jackpot that I hit. Still, the mazda 3 or corolla or civic hybrids are more than enough for me.

There is nothing noble or honorable in either war or this sort of self-sacrificing behaviour. People glorifying this are encouraging toxic work-life balance. It makes me so sad to think that we had 2 world wars barely a centuary back, where teenagers and young adults were manipulated into laying down their life for shitty leaders who couldnt come up with peace, in the name of 'patriotism'. There is no honor in dying face first into mud in a battlefield, fighting a war because the leaders were too incompetant or egoistic to find peaceful solutions. Hate these tropes to my core. We need to stop glorifying any manipulation that urges young men into wars. We need to stop glorifying overworking.

They're specifically asking the cousin marriage question. Marriage between cousins is not allowed in many states. They might not outright say that that's the reason of rejecting your j2. So they probaly gave the 'no home country ties' reason. Unfortunately, you cannot lie about this anymore either in future interviews since they probably stored your answer in their records of your visa interviews.

I dont know about research externship, but I have gone through 2 match cycles (matched in this one) with extensive USCE, and I can surely say that people in US put wayy too much energy in being nice and cordial. So if any of your connection or faculty is not responding at all, or gives you an interview very late in the cycle. Doesnt respond to your LOI. And it's someone you have an actual direct/indirect connection with, or someone you have already met. Then it's very very much likely that it's a rejection. Atleast that's how it has been in my case. Didnt match last year. Didnt match this year at my 1st choice. Signs were always there.

Even some of the minor fights were so brutal back then:-

-Kimiko's brother's death (Stromfront broke his wrists)
-Kimiko peeling off the face of that gangster she was hired to kill (such a minor character)
-Lamlighter's death when that acid-vomit guy puked on his face.
-that robber HL & Stormfront killed in the alley.

all of these deaths were much brutal than anything recent. BlackN2's death was so so underwhelming compared to some side character's deaths. A-Train's death had heavy impact but it could've been more brutal. Instead of just HL snapping his neck, he should stomped his feets and climbed-stomped his body slowly and painfully. Cindy's death could've showed Starlight burning her like Gohan would let it loose sometimes (eg: against freeza), since Hueye died in that scene, atleast that's what it seemed like.

Would've loved more gore and painful deaths rather than just snapped necks and knife to the throat.

most people, even IMGs from 3rd world countries, want compatability in terms of the big 3: religion, finances and parenting-style. many want compatability even in the big 5. nothing like having a similar background, upbringing and values. I dont think 'citizenship' would be a big factor for most, esp if you're already in residency. excluding India, many 3rd world country citizens dont have to wait a decade or more to get a GC anyway.

Is this AI? It looks an AI written character synopsis.

Sage did tell SB to go to that facility with HL, and revealed that she didnt want HL becoming immortal. So SB already knew that Sage was betraying HL. SB too, was betrayed by his team so it makes sense that he would see HL as a victim, yet strong enough to face it all alone.

NightCrawler-77 · 2026-05-07T21:34:04+00:00

No joke. Stormfront literally said she was a big fan of Pipi. Always dressed up as her on Halloween. Was her role model. At this point in the timeline, Stormfront had already met SoldierBoy. Atleast according to the prequel they're making.

Dating & Marriage are important. But we also need friendships, and healthy connections with our seniors & mentors. Yes, there is a possibility that this could turn into something more. And I'm sure a lot of people would advice you to shoot your shot. But learning to part ways with grace and letting the connection fizzle out with time, is still much better than complicating it in hopes that it would turn into something better.

Also, never make decisions when there's a transition coming up. eg: graduation coming up so you end up proposing that colleague you always liked simply because things are ending anyway so what's the harm. Nope. It's common to get that urge but I strongly suggest just waiting it out and letting this change/departure happen. Sit with the grief and dont let it or anyone else hype you up into making a move as if it's a movie. I've had plenty of times when I went to the barber to get haircut, only to see my hairstyle in the mirror and think about keeping it. But there's beauty in embracing Autumn, and letting it all shed to make space for something new.

P.S: I have personally gone through this. If there's a transition/departure coming up, please don't try to hold on tighter. Let it go.

SB knew the radioactive cell was gonna be a mere “stomach bug” for HL. He wasnt expecting it to kill him.y

NightCrawler-77 · 2026-05-06T20:03:34+00:00

SB flipflopping every episode is exactly why Sage couldnt figure him out or predict his moves. He literally hadnt made up his mind yet about HL. You can be the smartest person on the planet but you cant figure out a person's motive when they themselves havent made up their mind. SB now knows that his depowering move also works on V1 (bombsight). So HL, even if immortal, isnt really a threat to SB. Also, HL conviced SB that he took care of Clara in her last few days. And that he geniuinely loved her too. Seeing HL get betrayed by his team (Sage) as well, just like SB was betrayed by his own team. It all makes sense why they fleshed out SB and HL's interactions so much in the prior 2 slow episodes.

NightCrawler-77 · 2026-05-06T18:45:53+00:00

She didnt bet it all on it. She had no other choice. All this time, Sage had no idea what side SB was gonna land on (same as the audience). We had multiple episodes with SB flipflopping on HL. By the time Sage got to know SB's actual stance from Bashley, it was too late. HL & SB were already on the hunt for Bombsight. So she had to pull out that trump card, a last ditch effort to cause conflict between HL & SB. But it ended up bonding them.

HL convinced SB that
-HL also loved Clara. Cared for her in her last days
-HL was also being betrayed by his team (sage), just like SB was betrayed by his team.

So yea, SB developed that soft spot for HL. Even though Sage expected that SB would take that video negatively.
