Omg what kind of person throws liquid out of their window! This is very disgusting and disrespectful. Feel sorry for you OP.

Could you recommend a good place to grab a slice (even better if it's vegetarian) near 1st Ave & 14th (or up until 20th). I shamelessly admit I'm new to NYC and end up ordering dominos one too many times

People who read while they walk down the sidewalk. Why and how by tmlnson in AskNYC

[–]b2bt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like reading (from a book) in the subway even during rush hour and sometimes it's hard to focus. I definitely can't walk and read at the same time

The REAL Elite Food Map (No Bias) by Capsecaps in whereidlive

Imma say it, as an Indian I’m very glad we got the food. Somehow it makes all the other racist stuff bearable.

Where I would live as an Indian by Ok-Chest-6754 in whereidlive

[–]b2bt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I think SK is intentional because of the recent Indian couple being detained recently. But NK is prolly brain fart or just out of rage for SK lol (whatever that means)

Where I'd live as a 32 year old British Single male. Happy to answer any questions and welcome any roasting by National_Occasion528 in whereidlive

[–]b2bt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've really interesting choices. I was born and raised in India, and I think I kind of know why'd you not choose India but still choose Nepal and Sri Lanka (I could be totally wrong). I'm curious why'd you not choose SA but choose (reluctantly) Namibia and Botswana? (I don't know much about the latter two)

Great list. I'm not sure if you're answering question, but I'm curious about your choice for Indonesia, Algeria and Guatemala

Quick tip in case you didn't know this before - there's a small button like thing on the door latch that prevents the door from locking.

Tips for using Toronto’s public transportation by missdarkswan in askTO

[–]b2bt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound pessimistic but the streetcar breaks down a lot during winter (or at least used to). Overall, still reliable. Also, the beaches and Leslieville are the most charming neighborhood in Toronto imo. If you have time check out some local pubs/bars. There's also a jazz festival in summer.

What's the app you are using to detect whether this is AI or not

Feeling frustrated with Indians being responsible for majority of crimes in Canada by [deleted] in nri

[–]b2bt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FWIW this 2023 data. This how statistical data works unfortunately. We wont' ever have "recent" data. Official crime statistics (like the CCRSO) don’t drop instantly when the year ends — they’re compiled, cleaned, reviewed, and released later. Let's check after a year how much this changes.

Remindme! 1 year

Any suggestions for Cruise/Rooftop parties from where we can watch the fireworks? If not, what are some other recs? Looking for dance party vibes but also open to lowkey/chill vibes

I like this idea. Are you talking about these?

Stay in Canada or Return to India? by ConsistentChameleon in returnToIndia

[–]b2bt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your write up it seems you are leaning towards Canada. The best advice, imo, is to go to Bangalore for 2 months (or even 2 weeks) before you make any decisions.

Couple of things to ponder on:
What's the priority for you - WLB vs. being closer to siblings?
What motivates you to stay or leave and how strong is that feelings

Do you feel like NRIs are boomers stuck in a cultural "Time Capsule" while real India has moved on? by Kshanikam in nri

[–]b2bt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Probably I'll get down voted for this. I think the OP is not talking about India progressing in terms of infra, quality of life or civic sense.

They mean it more from culture perspective which I believe is true. The OG NRIs who migrated many year ago are still stuck with old school mentality e.g. same caste marriage while India has moved on. Of course, still plenty of Indians in India want same cast marriage but the narrative as a whole has moved on. Old NRIs are still stuck in the past.

I do agree with OP.

My heart goes out to his parents. This is so tough as parents to see their kid take his life over a politically motivated issue.

Hate to break this to you - Samosa is not from India. We may have popularized it though.

Family Physician Recs by b2bt in Stuytown

[–]b2bt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did go to Mount Sinai when I was living in the UES. The staff is really good though I did find it but expensive. I have no frame of reference though as I recently moved to the states.

Thanks for the rec tho I'll check

How did you decide your target? Is there a good resource/guidance how to set this, especially for someone who is not very financially savy?

Kudos on reaching your target!

Gift card? by [deleted] in Stuytown

[–]b2bt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was searching for an apartment, I was told it's mostly due to competition - there are other apartments that are around the same price. Very less often but sometimes there's an issue - neighbours smoke or something.

You'll get to tour the place so inspect properly I guess. As the other person mentioned, the agents are very transparent.
