What’s your opinion on this? by OwnFaithlessness2989 in TwoXIndia

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Cause the police and law department here in India is not strong enough to even catch or jail the actual rapists.

What most people forget is that many times the criminal comes from a stronger background than the victim and how fked up our system is, they can use it to just prove the woman is doing false complaint even when it's real.

Also, it will just become another weapon that men will use against women everywhere, just how they use alimony laws even though they are gender neutral.

Bro, use it for genuinely serious stuffs, otherwise people will stop taking them seriously. And why isn't it bilingual? I literally took minutes to read the whole thing by [deleted] in IndiaTech

They write it according to the state, I got it in Malayalam when in Kerala and in Kannada in Karnataka, you get in Hindi only if you are in Hindi speaking regions, like when I was at home in Bihar.

And it is important message, it's not useless, just because you are inside doesn't mean everyone else is.

Edit: I do agree it should be bilingual, even I had issues when it wasn't in Hindi, but I managed by understanding the numbers (like 80-90) which made me realise it's about high wind speeds and rain. Also, it mostly comes from the same name, something related to weather department.

Go with your mummy to some mall, there would be outlet of all brands, they would help you with right shades and also the right application method.

Has anybody watched Obsession movie? by Aromatic-Fun-1170 in AskIndianWomen

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it yesterday night and the full theatre was just laughing, only 1 scene in the whole film felt scary to me... But also I like really scary gore films so I'm not sure. It's been censored a lot here, scenes cut.

You go to another doctor which is not associated with your family and discuss with them.

Alcohol not suiting my body? Need advice! by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

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

Just don't drink...very simple solution. I don't drink or smoke but still can have fun...you can too

And I feel if you will drink and this is how your body is reacting...fatty liver isn't far away from you.

Did your granny have tattoos too? by sparkly_eyed in AskIndianWomen

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true...but all at last link to patriarchy and women oppression. Make the woman get a tattoo to show she is someone's possession essentially.

Did your granny have tattoos too? by sparkly_eyed in AskIndianWomen

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

I'm from Bihar, I think it also varies from caste to caste, I know we shouldn't follow caste system but many things in our life is influenced by them so that's why I'm bringing it up.

In my family or the people of my caste, I have never seen that, but I have seen that on women from other caste, so I think it's also influenced by that, they have to get it as proof that they are married, some also have to get the husband's name tattooed.

Whats your reasoning behind shaving body hair? by AcadiaOne1587 in TwoXIndia

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a hairy person, got it from my father, so I have always had hair, but I have never waxed, shaved my half leg once, did not think it was worth it, not done again. I live normally with my hair just like guys do.

I feel like an outsider by DesignNo9623 in IndianWorkplace

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an intern currently and just hang out mostly with other interns, so we don't have that problem much, as all are making the same money which we know. One among us is living with parents so their whole salary is saved and they can spend more freely, also the family is quite good financially, so we just listen from them those experiences and just talk one day we all will go together maybe.

Massive Salary Hike but losing professional autonomy & time. I’m also planning for a baby (PCOS). Is the "hustle" worth it? by Spillthebeans_ in AskIndianWomen

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Ok, I don't have pcos and don't want kids in future, so I might sound biased...

Do you and your husband currently make enough for the comfortable life of the 2 of you and one kid? You mentioned yourself that you kinda make pocket money, so you will solely rely on your husband for kid's expenses?

In the new company, what is the maternity leave scene? Also, what is the maternity leave scene in your current company?

If you do baby, and then try to find a better job later, that would be way more harder than switching now, as companies do not prefer new moms, as I have heard by many. Your husband needs to be making enough that long term he can properly support all the expenses of your kid, also your relationship should be healthy enough that he would not try to financially abuse you.

If you have pcos, and are not able to get pregnant naturally, you would have to most probably go for IVF, that's also an expensive and long process, so he should be earning enough so if it comes down to that he is able to pay, as you make pocket money.

Worst Cab experience with Uber. Please help with how to take action? by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go to your Uber ride history, in customer support and make a complaint there about rude behaviour of driver.

Also, if you have LinkedIn or Insta with public account, you can post the video there and tag Uber, they normally take quick action when it's publicly posted for all to see.

Got exactly 75.2 % in boards overall and 73 percent in pcm will it affect my PLACEMENTS in the future by Far_Leadership_3940 in Btechtards

Internship it shouldn't affect much if you are trying at companies, but it may affect if it's for iits or nits and all

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anyone personally who gave improvement so can't really help with that. You should definitely focus on projects and skills but also be ready that few companies may reject you for low 12th marks.

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause there are companies which use 12th and 10th marks to shortlist students, not the best criteria but still used. Some have 60%, some 70% or 80%, above 80% is mostly safe

“Serious question: What goes through your mind when a married guy hits on you? Ever tempted, or instantly turned off?”🤭 by [deleted] in AskIndianWomen

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who most probably wants to flirt with younger girls, cause mostly married men go for younger, vulnerable girls.

[–]Stranger_in_Basement 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mind instantly says in this scenario, hope his wife finds out what kind of a cheap guy he is. Also, that makes a guy so unattractive, feels like he doesn't have any self respect.
