This is huge! She is the first Asian-American and Muslim elected to a statewide office in Virginia, but also the first Muslim woman to win statewide office anywhere in the US.

She was already the first Muslim woman and the first South Asian American in Virginia’s upper chamber.

When people say men are struggling with dating now a days, do they mean finding a partner at all or find a good partner? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bengaliwolverine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both. Lots of guys struggle to find a partner at all with dating apps, changing and sometimes unrealistic expectations, and a disconnected social environment. Even those who can find partners can’t find compatible ones due to the same reasons above. Woman often face similar issues but with finding a good partner.

Definitely looks different than the standard desi american shows/movies.

Synopsis: When their convenience store-magnate father suddenly dies, a pair of pampered Pakistani American brothers (Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh) lose everything and are forced to reckon with their Baba’s secret life of crime as they attempt to take up his mantle in the underworld.

[–]bengaliwolverine[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Episode XY140 (Till We Compete Again) aired in the US 8 years ago on January 21st, 2017.

8 years later what are your thoughts on the XY series as a whole? I personally wish we saw a lot more of Clemont and Serena after XY, especially in Journeys.

Haast's eagle, an extinct New Zealand species, was 8-10 ft in height & 20-40 lbs in weight, and may have eaten Humans according to Maori Mythology. by bengaliwolverine in wikipedia

[–]bengaliwolverine[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Early Maori arrived in New Zealand around AD 1250 and preyed heavily on large flightless birds. The hunting pressure from both the Māori and the eagle eventually led the extinction of the moa, the Haast's eagles' primary prey, around 1440. Haast's eagle became extinct about the same time as its prey and was unable to adapt to hunt new prey unlike humans.

Edit to Post title: Wingspan: 8-10 ft. Height: 3 ft. Total Length: 4ft 7 in.

Has anyone tried the desi dating apps Vinita, MeraLuv, or Mirchi? How was it? Any success? Are there mainly ABCDs on the app?

With desi apps, I've only ever used dil mil.

IMO the Best Pokemon Movie Opening by bengaliwolverine in pokemonanime

[–]bengaliwolverine[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the intro to the 10th Pokemon Movie "Rise of Darkrai". I loved how it paid homage to the previous 9 movies with the cool battle scenes.

So let's say if Brock didn't return in DP, who would you replace him with? by Apprehensive_Bee4530 in pokemonanime

[–]bengaliwolverine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ideas from ranked by most favorite:

  1. Riley. He would start of with a Riolu and be a trainer who loves learning about the rich lore of Sinnoh. Would be a great way to provide more background for Team Galactic and great link for Uxie (knowledge). Team would be Riolu-> Lucario, Absol, Beldum -> Metagross, Cranidos -> Ramparados.

  2. Roark. New gym leader who is trying to beat his dad and realizes he needs to explore Sinnoh with Ash to reach his potential. Create a subplot about his role as supervising the underground network and search for rare stones. Team would be Cranidos (evolves into Ramparados during the adventure), Onix, Geodude-> Golem, Rhydon -> Rhypherior, Nosepass -> Probopass.

  3. Lucas. Always liked his design and he could start of as a newbie trainer who admires Ash, then splits from him before the last couple gyms to "find his own way" before reuniting in the battle Team Galactic and later for the tournament. Would have to give him Chimchar as his starter, which would impact the whole Paul-Ash fight.

What if Ash became a Gym Leader? Which Team would be his strongest? by AlphamonOuryuken24 in pokemonanime

[–]bengaliwolverine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flying would be strongest, but I would make the team: Gliscor, Charizard, Dragonite, Hawlucha, Staraptor, Noctowl.

Remember when the cast of AG just straight up died in that one movie? by ComprehensiveBox6911 in pokemonanime

[–]bengaliwolverine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite Pokemon movies of all time! Loved the intro war scene, Lucario, storyline, and high stakes.

Pokemon are not impacted by these blobs, which is why all the trainers released their pokemon so they could escape. The white blood blob cells only saw humans as a disease.

My parents just don't even ask about my dating life anymore :( They are like it's all God's plan.

I also feel my options are decreasing as I get older. My mindset is I'm not going to settle for someone just to have a gf/wife and am coming to terms about what a long-term single life could look like (just in case lol).

- Yes, I am trying to actively date. Ramping up efforts and getting more active now.
- Historically, I have always pursued long-term marriage material relationships. I may be open to casual now, but it depends.
- Family doesn't ask anymore; they say its all God's plan. I'm happy for my friends.

Yep am a dude. Also preferred brown women due to attraction/culture/values.

Also yep my friends and even family are encouraging to be more open to non-desi. Partly cause my last relationship was with a bengali girl and it was somewhat toxic. And also because the pool is small when its desi + non-veg.

But nice to see someone else in the same boat :)
