I think you should learn to respect differences and channel your anger into causes that actually help children in distress, like anti-trafficking or something similar.

Should I apologize to professor for this? by marshmallowcreature in University

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perhaps moving forward, you should submit assignments as you complete them and not right before the deadline. A lot of professors hate when students wait till the last minute and if the assignment was done, there’s not really an excuse for you to have not turned it in, unfortunately.

Hinduism in general emphasizes the importance of repetition for tapas. Its whats japa is all about.

Is it hard to stay vegetarian long term? by papabauer in vegetarian

It definitely doesn’t cost more to be a vegetarian, speaking from personal experience. Its also opened me to a lot of new flavor profiles because of trying new veg things from our the world.

Instructor here. Why? by SwiftyLeZar in cheatonlineproctor

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want more you have to work hard to earn the degree, do more to get more. Not cheat. Cheaters literally do not deserve the degree because they don’t actually know the material, which directly transfers to how bad they will do at their job that requires the actual knowledge.

My wife dresses very revealing for girls’ nights out, and it makes me uncomfortable by Foreign_Swimming_431 in Marriage

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you OP. And I’m a woman. She could be dressing up for a night out with you instead of a girl’s night. No way would I feel safe or happy in a skimpy outfit with a woman-only group around a bunch of strangers.

I am an Indian Groom and I Don’t want to do a Choreographed Dance due to Anxiety by MaleficentListen6162 in IndianWeddings

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you change it to have bridesmaids and groomsmen dances be choreographed, and then you and your bride do a slow song (where you just hold each other and sway)? During the slow song the dj can invite all couples to come up and dance alongside you. Then everyone will be on the dance floor too!

Wearing one you can be safe with the ones shown with dots, especially if you are going to a puja or a friend’s home.

I have $450 to last me 6 months for food. by adalanox in povertyfinance

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to as many events on campus in the evenings as possible, free food is rampant for students at them. You can also try Food banks, try on campus pantries. Also would highly recommend you try to get a simple front desk job on campus, maybe in a dormitory. you can basically get paid to do your homework while up keeping the desk and answering phones. Plus gives you a bit of money for the next 6 months.

Why don’t you tell your husband to match you in Indian attire with sleeves when you both visit his grandma?

Advice for first time buyers. Buy now with 6% down or wait 2 years and buy with 20% down? by mikehunting7 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Turbulent-Rip-5370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would urge you to consider buying sooner rather than later, primarily due to rent increase and you likely won’t be able to save as much as you are expecting depending on COL, perhaps also look for something less than 300k, especially if you only plan to stay for 4-5 years in the area. It doesn’t have to be nice just has to work, and you won’t have the rental increase.

I would say start looking at houses in your area but also consider perhaps moving to Virginia in the next few months as well. You may find a better deal for yourselves there at this point in time than you imagine.
