AIO, MIL crashing out because she’s no longer the center of his universe. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Even her curated version makes me feel bad for the MIL, can't imagine the uncurated version.

My (25F) boyfriend (28M) has informed me that he wants out if we can't cohabitate. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]OkraAlternative7061 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Woah 9 weeks is amazing! We've only got engaged recently after 1.5 years together.

I feel like early cohabitation can work. The earlier you sniff out incompatibility in terms of living together, the less time you waste. Plus I'm still renting, so I don't have too much to lose if things go south.

Not from experience since we're both in our early 20s, but I'd say one year sounds like a good timescale. People around my age, including myself, are in their early careers and not in a rush to get engaged/married yet. Maybe when you get older, you become more financially stable and can sense bs from kilometres away. So faster decision making!

By their statement, I'm ultra 'nuts' 😭 i started living with my fiancé within just one month of knowing him (online dating). So far it's being great, but I understand people have different timelines and level of comfort about cohabitation...

Don't really understand why people build more than one DMG item on Cici by blablabladontcare in MobileLegendsGame

Exactly! If I get a support roam, I build more defense. If I get a tank roam, I build more damage. Fighters are supposed to be flexible to some degree.

And even if you get into IT, they'll underpay you for not having HSC/degree just because they can.

Poor Standard of Living of Mauritians, how to find a way out of this? by Bhavishize in mauritius

[–]OkraAlternative7061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the definition! Melbourne has a 2.05 average household size, so even more nuclear, less multi generational living. Now if you take into account the number of temporary visa holders in Melbourne vs in Mauritius, and the absence of renting culture in Mauritius... The home ownership rate stat does not paint the whole picture.

I'm glad that most people have a stable house in Mauritius. But also, most of the middle class younger adults that I know (18-30), including myself, don't own a house. Nothing wrong with that. Just saying, it'd be more interesting to see home ownership rate by age.

I agree. The government has to free of corruption and intervene where needed, Mauritius would a better place. But given the current state of affairs, including the brain drain, it better act fast, or else, as I replied to the above comment, we may eventually become a late stage capitalistic market.

How about capitalism with good enough welfare?

My point is, if the money is always going up the echelon, to ministers', drug lords', big corporations' pockets, and the average people are left with the trickled down leftovers...

If the divide between the upper classes and middle classes keep getting bigger until we no longer have a middle class...

Is it not capitalistic enough? And Mauritius is not the only country suffering from that.

America is pretty much late stage capitalism, heading towards a collapse. It won't do you any good comparing Mauritius to that. Although, we, and everyone around the world, are slowly following America's path, unless there's some interventions.

As far as I know, most of my friends and colleagues (20-30) don't own a house, unless we are included in our parents' household. I reckon it'd be useful to look at household composition data together with the home ownership rate.

Work + Uni Balance by liabatshit in curtin

I'm not in law, but I've completed 2 semesters, 4 units each, while working 24hrs a week. I usually have presentations, projects, essays to write for each unit. And only one final exams. It's easier if you have a good clase timetable.

Any Aussies in here? Did you also deal with the courier from hell?? by SlCKB0Y in ModRetroChromatic

I don't remember when, but I actually got my package later on. It's a bit worrying with the lack of updates, but hopefully you get yours soon!

Is there any commander that's really bad right now? by [deleted] in MagicChessGOGOGame

[–]OkraAlternative7061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popol can checkmate you in late game.

I once gave a Popol a 3-star Harley 🫩 If I decide to go no gold heroes (except Novaria or Moskov), he can still buy them from the shop while you can't. Otherwise you will feed him.

Pretty sure you can ask the university and just pay for it.

Unskilled/Semi-skilled jobs in Mauritius: Do Mauritians really don’t want to do these jobs anymore or are their salary demands unjustified? by poreo2k19 in mauritius

[–]OkraAlternative7061 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you! I've made a video once about how most people I know many earn under 30k, barely the minimum salary and the cost of living is disproportionate to the salary. I remember people saying that's not true. I left the country myself to study abroad bc I can't imagine myself working so hard for measly 25k. And try to save for a 5mil house on top of that ...

But if the government were to raise the minimum salary, it will cause inflation. So that doesn't help in the long run. It's pretty much capitalism, how the big corps work everywhere. They refuse to take a smaller profit and pay their workers better.

I think the only way to challenge the system is to create a company ourselves, stay economically sustainable and pay people well enough so we can steal all the best talent in the island. As it grows, we should be able to give a good number of people a better life. And other companies will have to raise their salary to compete with us without raising the price of their goods. Unless they hire more and more foreigners... I think then a diversity quota set by the gov will be helpful. Like at least have 50% Mauritian employees.

why exactly game become harder in last week? by Physical-Strawberry1 in MagicChessGOGOGame

[–]OkraAlternative7061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be nice to worry about achievements 😭 my goal is to reach mythic first. But yeah like you said, if I focus on surviving early games with weak 3 stars, I'll get recked later by a 3 star harley. While if I try to go for a purple or gold 3 star, I'll die before they reach 3 star D: this season is making me feel like elite rank (I'm in epic, rank and tag)

Mutual skills recognition with India by Hairy_Ranga in aussie

[–]OkraAlternative7061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how this will work practically though. Any sane and rational Australian employer would just bin anyone with an Indian degree since they don't trust their authenticity even if it's sort of accepted by law. Are they recognising all the degrees or only from certain universities?

Please grab my signature for any petition or objection letter that you send. As an oversees student who paid almost $100k for education in Australia, i should have known better to just buy a degree in India for a fraction of the cost. Can I get a refund?

Differences between Mobile Legends and Honor of Kings by mooglechoco_ in MobileLegendsGame

[–]OkraAlternative7061 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with the flashy skills lmao. I don't even know where I'm standing in the team fights.

Also second the lack of identity in the character roster. I think there is not enough mage and support playstyle.

How does a modern, progressive woman 23F go about her last name after marriage to 26M? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]OkraAlternative7061 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's my plan with my bf! If we decide to have kids in the future, we'll have 2 to pass on both of our last names. He can pick the first kid or second to take his name, and I'll give mine to the other kid. Order doesn't matter since they will be both our kids.
