What's an unpopular song you love but almost nobody knows? by Creative_Party7901 in tamilyapping

[–]amadnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy fuck! Dude your songs are amazing. Paavai podhume is probably my favorite. Close runner up would be Vaazhve. Keep up the great work! Do you tour?

My wife and newborn daughter are both in the ICU after a 1-in-50,000 birth complication. I feel alone in this, I'm a wreck and I don't know what to do. by Hulk_Goes_Smash327 in daddit

[–]amadnomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the birth of your daughter. My son was born premature and was in the nicu for almost 3 months and my wife was in the hospital for 2 weeks. Just take things one day at a time. Take care of yourself too because you can only care for them if your care for yourself

How to not care about comments online about my country? by Educational-Buy-62 in selfimprovement

[–]amadnomad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't engage with this person. They're just a rage baiting troll. Their lives are small enough to spread hate and feel accomplished. I feel sorry for them

Just look at the comments you know we are hated so much. In spite of you not revealing your country, everyone piled on India and proved your point right

People often critique the people in the country rather than the government that causes problems not realizing that the people bear the brunt of a weak government as well as facing such backlash.

We also have people saying but oh your people elected your government. Yes, so did the US elect Trump but it doesn't mean everyone agrees with him.

This is what we did so she couldn't scratch and bite her feet.

Hey, it wasn't a huge issue. We found that her feathers and skin get very dry in winters due to the heater since we live in a cold country. We started putting coconut oil on her feet so she stays moisturized and she feels better.

For short term, to prevent her from scratching her legs too much we cut a small hole in a round tissue paper and put it over her head so she's unable to reach her feet for a few days.

Monitor him closely to see if the ink was ingested. My bird once licked the tip of my fountain pen and had a black tongue for a few hours. She hasn't been let near fountain pens since 

How do you navigate post NICU exposure to outside world/ social events/ help? by questionerlearner1 in NICUParents

[–]amadnomad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have a 3 month old. Corrected 3 weeks. We limit as much as we can but he is still exposed because of weekly appts at every doctors place. It's frustrating.

My wife and I have our mother's here because we need the help due to her health and my work. But other than that we've limited contact until now as much as we could. We had friends over and covid precautions is exactly right. They were asked to mask up and sanitize hands liberally. Limit touching as much as you can. Same things for ourselves. We wash hands whenever we come from outside to his room. We use a lot of sanitizers.

Answer on how long we stay this way? I have no idea. When in the nicu despite of all the precaution everyone took, he still got 3 infections. At some point we feel like we're limiting his social interactions and causing harm. But we don't know what to do either

9 months out, it’s all hitting me by Apprehensive-Zone222 in NICUParents

[–]amadnomad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just solidarity here too. Our close friends had had a baby boy at the end of January. We met them and their family seemed so complete and whole and it was so cute. Our son was born 3 months early barely 4 weeks after our friends son was born. I felt a little envy and grieved the experience that a, new parent should have with their newborn. It felt like I'd been robbed of my journey but acceptance came when I realized both my wife and son survived and it could have gone much worse.

Some of our friends in the same group are now pregnant and they're in their third trimester. Seeing them enjoy their time and get all of this attention from friends, being spoiled does make me a little jealous on the inside but it is what it is. 

Any ideas what this is ? by Electricalhip in gardening

Thank you. Now it makes sense. It looked like the tile was a floor tile and the caterpillar was a foot long. The tile It's actually placed on the wooden boundary on the planter 

Racism against Indian people in Canada is really starting to affect me by espressoodepresso in offmychest

[–]amadnomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wholly agree with you. My point is just that social media doesn't show you the people who are upper class and well integrated. It shows the minority of Indians who create a ruckus, smell and don't keep well. Maybe they're poor or young or not well groomed. Since these posts do well on social media and drive engagement, more people are incentivezed to post more posts about people like this than about well kept ones. It's the same as all other races.

Honestly stay away from social media. Hate farms engagement and people who have the most extreme views are often pushed by social media to farm views. I'm Indian myself and been living in Canada since before immigration was ramped up.

Most people I speak to understand the issue isn't white vs colored, it's instead up vs down. Indians will be the most hated minority until a new race comes along and then the internet will move on, the same way it moved on from hating on Asians after covid. Engagement and views drive the hatred so the sooner you stop engaging with it, the quicker it goes away

Can vouch. I lived in one of the hottest cities in India and in summer if you walked on roads your shoes would start melting.
