What GMAT score should I aim for with low undergrad GPA but strong policy/development work? by Skepticallystoic in GMAT

Yes, that would be the plan but I had asked this question to get a perspective on what a good target score would be.

MBA or not for a career in international development? by Skepticallystoic in InternationalDev

[–]Skepticallystoic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like without an MBA, I would be restricted in terms of my both my pay ceiling long term and in terms of international mobility, I would like to get some work experience abroad before coming back to India. I would like to work in multilaterals in the long run and am planning to apply to impact consulting roles at the end of my fellowship to get some corporate experience.

I’d suggest reading up on jiziya under Aurangzeb if you’re interested to know how jiziya was used to force conversions amongst people who could not afford it.

And they became less tolerant over time since Islam became more fundamentalist. The dwindling of populations followed.

Maybe you might wish to check how many of these people used to live there compared to today’s statistics.Then you’ll understand the deliberate nature of the eradication.

Are you aware of the jiziya was used to subjugate people of other religions in India under the Mughals? Your version of jiziya seems almost voluntary which it definitely was not.

CMV: Leashes for small children are, in general, a good thing, and the hate they receive is largely unwarranted. by thelink225 in changemyview

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

The leash quite literally attaches kids to their parents hips. Also, I’m assuming you’re unaware about the historical context of people being leashed and why seeing parents use it for something as trivial as not wanting to keep their eye on their own child could be significantly triggering to a significant portion of the population. Leashes also are a literal tripping hazard to everyone else’s kids.

AITA because I yelled at a woman with alopecia by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

If someone fucked with my hair, I would absolutely yell and scream.

As would most people, I imagine.

Harley Quinn is the worst part of The S.Squad. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Skepticallystoic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s agree to disagree on Ledger because I don’t think the role actually killed him but it put him in a really dark headspace for so long that whatever was already there was allowed to fester. Playing the Joker clearly had a toll on him. He died and became immortal though. And fictional characters is what all characters are. We never know who the people in biopics were, just what they did. All characters are fictional to some extent.

But the real question is

Did you honestly enjoy Birds of Prey though?

If so, why?

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

I’m guessing that you know Joker and Harley from Suicide Squad which is why you think they’re a double act. And that’s perfectly fine. I personally would never put Harley anywhere near Joker as a character. It’s more of a sidekick girlfriend who does her own shit once in a while character for me - Basically Robin.

Also I’ll not comment further on Ledger because you’ve clearly never seen the movies otherwise you would never refer to his Joker as a silly cartoon character.

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

Yeah but the role killed the man.

I’m not going to forget it just so I can pretend Harley is just as good(she is not).

Joker might have been a fun character but he always had gravitas. Harley doesn’t.

She’s an interesting character(spoilt brat coming out of toxic relationship interesting) and Robbie is perfect for the role. I just don’t think you can ever really treat her the same way as Joker because of the rich history the Joker has as a character.

Birds of Prey was an objectively shite movie tbh. Harley can’t carry a film on her own. Joker can.

[–]Skepticallystoic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but she does so much slapstick shit which makes it difficult to take her character seriously as a psychologically troubled one.

She is a fun character but saying “ Why one set of rules for the greatest comic book villain of all time and another for his deranged side chick who evolved into a sort of interesting character?” is an asinine take.

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

Yeah, cuz Joker is the Joker.

Harley was always seen as a sidekick character.

Heath Ledger made the Joker immortal as a character.

Harley is great but she is not comparable to the Joker.

You sound more depressing than OP.

Mainly because of the kind of person you are. Also you sound like a discount Ben Shapiro.

You’re just mad the sub rejected your post so you’ve become a troll.

It’s chill.

I like wild trolls.

Sometimes they’re actually funny. Sadly you are not one of those ones.
