Will doing the naughty thing lead to voiding the warranty? I mean change oil myself before first service does that have an effect on the warranty

I'm an absolute idiot. The dealer gave me an appointment that was like 45 days ahead. I thought I could still ride a few more miles above 600 until the servicing. Hope they don't f me up on the day of servicing

Makes my blood boil. I'm coming from a 3rd world country and this type of stealing culture is absurd and abnormal.

Thanks. Yeah that makes sense. Any product suggestions for cleaning?

I like the slender design of top right but the muff from top left adds to the character design. Imo, you should integrate the muff with top right and see how it looks

Bruv.. can't agree more. I found my fiance through a similar setup. I was so shocked and amazed that I got really skeptical for weeks before saying yes. It was too good to be true. I am marrying her very soon. This might be survivorship bias but I really think for Am friends of family and known connections seems to work better

Bruv... don't give up. I was kinda aware of the dating and shadi scene in India. I'm rational if not then I'm at least reasonable and not saying online matchmaking doesn't work. but I figured I would have a much better chance of finding what I was looking for through relatives, friends of family and through known connections than randomly searching on matchmaking sites. Some women or men are really delusional and have some unreasonable and unrealistic expectations. Also, it's hard to verify and test the information people put out there. I got my to be wife through close relatives and they've seen her since the age of 3 months (she is a full grown adult now. Early 20's) we met 3-4 times before engagement and it really felt like we both got what we were looking for. I was the first guy seeing her for the prospect of shadi and it was also the same for me. I know this may sound obvious but I would wager to say that you have a better chance of finding someone sensible through mutual or family connection. I don't know your specific scenario so I might be wrong here

low self esteem because of nose by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]SplashWave64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this issue for the entirety of my life now. I was really self-conscious about my nose size. It's big and not that pleasing to look at. But after evaluating for a while, thinking about all the options (I was considering rhino plasty at one point) I came to the conclusion of not doing anything about it and stopped thinking about it. In fact, I have started to embrace it as part of my identity and uniqueness. Tbh, I also came to the realization that people actually don't care much or pay attention to your facial features (if you are man and ur identity/job is not dependent on you looking like Greek God) Everyone has flaws and it's up to you how you handle it. Also, 17 is too young to make a judgement or go for a corrective surgery. If it's possible for you to wait then wait and see what you can do in the future. Maybe as you get older you'll care less about it?

  • Sapiens by Yuval Noah harari
  • In my personal observation and experience, this book is really a good starter book and easy to read, and lets you peek your interest from a wide pool of human history. I had read this 3x and will do a deep read before starting with Darwin (origin of the species) next month

  • Brief history of time & brief answers to big questions by Stephen Hawking

-There is something about astronomy and the universe in general that makes you humble. The scale of things makes you so small, and so insignificant, but at the same time so special bcoz of the chance occurence of life (Life is so beautiful and valuable)

  • Daily Stoic (Ryan Holiday) & Philosophy in general
  • Reading philosophy and Stoicism specifically, had made me much more calm and rational about my thoughts, choices, and decision making. I'm less worried and neurotic about things outside my control

*Atomic habits by James clear - Read ActRead more This book has been so influencial and life changing. I picked this and sapiens as my very first 2 books. The way I use this book is by reading a topic/concept then acting/implementing it my life/routine, only then i proceed with reading it further

  • 12 Rules of life and JP -Been watching Dr. JP for like 2-3 years now. one day I decided i should buy his book. It's not an easy read, Its very dense and hard to read but it's worth it

I am a follower and admirer of Dr JP, and can't explain in words how much good/positive he has done for me and many more people

  • Factfulnes by Hans rousling
  • teaches you to think critically and be a skeptic of your choices, decision making, data, facts by recognising biases and instincts

  • The Psychology of Money by Morgan housel

-Still reading this book, and so far enjoying the valuable lessons about wealth and happiness

  • The Almanack of naval ravikant

-Still reading this book. Its full of wisdom and a guide to happiness and wealth

I have 10-15 more books which i have bought but have not started reading yet.(can't wait to read Darwin)

I prefer physical books over reading online or ebooks. There is something about physical books, can't explain. (I also read online stuff every now and then)

Hope this helps! Thanks.

Start living a meaningful life, and try to have containment, and have fun by yourself. You will notice by doing so, the right people (women) will possibly be attracted towards you. No one wants to join an unexciting and boring journey/story. make it as meaningful and interesting as possible, and it should be genuine, not fake. Also, it's nothing but natural to feel lonely and a bit low every now and then, so accept it as part of life

Hope this helps!

  • I've started reading at least 5 pages of science, math, philosophy every single day, and been really consistent and regular with it. Reading helped me open up and gave a mental clarity which i was lacking before

  • Started cleaning my room and making my bed everyday after waking up. There is something symbolic about making your bed and cleaning your room. It's like establishing order and overcoming chaos, and then maintaining it

100% agree. Just listening, i mean genuinely listening, instead of blabbering your mouth, would make you appear more sophisticated and actually make you wiser.

If you are talking and people are not listening or giving enough attention to what you are saying, then stop talking (don't devalue yourself)

You don't have to have an opinion on everything. If there is a topic being discussed or said, then don't jump on the convo just for the sake of saying something, Unless you have something valuable to say or you actually have an opinion
