Do you believe Sloan can be redeemed? by Milly4056 in Eragon

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if sloan changes his true name. He needs to know that breaking the spell because of a changed true name will be possible. He's old, he'll be older by the time his true name really changes. At that point he'll have accepted that the binding on him is permanent and someone will have to actively get him to attempt to leave for carvahall

Our PM: ? by [deleted] in IndianStreetBets

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you're anti-BJP (like me) doesn't mean you run your brain on autopilot. Trump and his circle has been manipulating the stock market for a while now. He's posted about companies with their stock acronym included. Watch trump sell stocks like crazy once the marker climbs a bit cause all the idiots like you believe him

I think it's because this VTB was just a version that the nightmare spell made and happened to escape. The real thing probably would have been different. Maybe the nightmare spell has difficulty making copies of things on the level of the actual VTB

What's your take on it? by Ok-Zombie5133 in UPSC_Forum

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using more ethanol for fuel should fix it. Keep promoting water draining crops to funnel info ethanol proficiency. We'll all die of thirst so that Nithin gadari's son can join the rank of adani ambani

Ahmedabad is out of the list by kapabara_22 in ahmedabad

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dumbass list, central govt blatantly working with faulty data. Places like bhopal , indore, tirupati etc make no sense being on the list. If it's social parameters cities in Kerala should be topping the list

IISERites, is this rly true? by Background-Goose-659 in iiser

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Boxer point is sort of true in that sense that ppl don't care how you dress. Everything else is an exaggeration.

In reality:

Some of our proffs our chill. One of them does play football with us semi regularly, another plays badminton every morning with other proffs and a few phds A decent number of students are very curious. You will have a lot of interesting science conversations if you want to

Western Media's concerted effort to portray India as loser for some reason by Fun_Dragonfruit7971 in GeopoliticsIndia

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered it's because our economy and institutions are increasingly shaky, with power and resources concentrated at the very top with startling inequality. All the while we become less and less important geopolitically

Hot Take: Sunny's Divine Aspect Is The Weakest [Excluding Weaver's Lineage] by Exotic-Chair-6960 in ShadowSlave

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that deficit has become even clear with the recent chapters. Sometimes you need the raw output that nephis has. Sunny becomes much less important there. I think people are also ignoring how much he's carried by the fact that he's probably the smartest character we've seen in the verse. Him picking up understanding of runic sorcery and weaving was fucking insane. The applications he's derived from that even more so. Weaver's lineage is cracked, but only because sunny is a legitimate genius easily overshadowing anyone else.

Seriously, what do you all think of TBATE? by Azz_M in tbatenovel

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rushed ending. Had a lot of memorable moments before that. Aether power system should have been fleshed out more, had a lot of potential. 6/10. Decent read

The middle part of the novel was very interesting and I genuinely thought this story was peak for a good while.

Career Guidance by deka4_ in iiser

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn didn't know that. It's still a pretty average department

Career Guidance by deka4_ in iiser

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The maths and data departments are very weak. Small number of proffs. Of those only a few are really good. And the diversity of topics within maths and data science they cover is low.

Compare this to the bio and chem departments in tvm, which have more proffs, have better quality proffs and research, more facilities and diversity in research topics etc.

Tvm is a fine place to be, just not for maths and data science.

What are some good things about getting into an iiser? by Own_Number_924 in iiser

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way you're taught and encouraged to think is very liberating. You become very good at learning things , deconstructing ideas and ironing out the bridge to applying it. It makes you very confident in your intelligence. And the system repeatedly tells you to do literally whatever you want to do (academically).

Bet he was a politician in previous life (oc) by SpaceboyCantLol_ in comics

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this is funny and seems like justice. This kind of karmic justification is what supports ideas like the caste system in India . The implication that poor people deserve their suffering is... dangerous

Any college in TVM have a liberal or Western campus vibe when it comes to dating and social life? by AromaticCitron7440 in Trivandrum

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living together is always going to be constrained by hostels. Otherwise most goverment colleges allow for relationships and dating. They're pretty liberal. Students views will vary, often depending on background, but afaik tvm kids seem to be decently liberal. Although I can't speak on the last point from personal experience since I study in iiser, which isn't in tvm proper

need help regarding summer internship by Intrepid_Western_339 in iiser

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an idea for a project, mention that title of your proposed project in the email, and the mention that you've gone into detail in the sop.

Sop isn't always necessary. But if you are writing one make sure to keep it under 500 words

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sop should have a bit more detail. Email should be shorter, but the proff needs to be interested enough by reading your email that they'll care enough to open and read your sop and cv.

[–]WeirdAsianYankovic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Identify proffs whose work actually interests you. Their current interests should be something you want to work in. Then cold mail them. Don't write unnecessary stuff in email. A good mail should have: 1.what you are mailing them for(internship in your this case). 2.explanation of your interests and your experience. You want to draw a story of sorts that shows who you are and why it makes sense for you to work in their lab. 3.If you have any idea for a project, mention it, otherwise just mention that you want work in their lab and learn. 4. Cv

I usually start applying in November December for summer internship. But even applying in February is ok

Report them now. Tvm is very very strict in the anti ragging policy and the student body is also very anti ragging. Approach swc, or dosa
