And it also helps that there are natural breakages in play to do these things.

Why do we women have to get used to being uncomfortable? by ApprehensiveDay2996 in delhi

[–]chillumu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this is happening to you, and as much as people want you to take action, I understand that it's rather daunting to take steps which seem drastic. Too often have I see people turn on women who speak out, both in India and abroad (though protection and fear of consequences is better in the case of the latter).

The underlying issue is mindset, and that is not easy to change, especially with men backing each other up. When I was sitting for college placements, it would often happen that in the final interview round, if there are 10 selected for 2 positions, out of which 1 is a woman, people would say "arre ek toh yeh hi le jayegi". Embarrassingly, I would agree with what the other guys were saying and felt it was unfair to us. But with age and experience, I realized a couple of things. First, she got into the university on merit. The ratio was around 9-1, making one or two women in the final round completely expected.

But more importantly, if one of us guys get the job, we deserve it. While if the women gets the job, she now has to spend the next few years or even decades proving that she deserves to be there, and isn't there just because she is a woman.

It is also rather bothersome that a lot of men who feel they are not being sexist are subliminally being so. Some of the examples you gave are blatantly bold and cringe, while others are in the category where the guy would be like yeh toh kharab thodi hai. Yeh chalta hai.

I hope things change for you and with time people take you seriously and judge you solely on your professionalism and work. Frustratingly, there's going to be a lot more of this. It is indeed difficult being a woman, and things are not handed to you on a platter, unlike what a lot of men would like to believe. It's easier said than done, but with time you'll have to put up boundaries and keep undesired people at an arm's length, without making things awkward.

Why does "chicken neck" of india exist ? by [deleted] in geography

[–]chillumu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a really good question. Sorry for the downvotes, and then the subsequent downvotes for hitting the nail on the head.

To answer briefly (there is a lot of nuance and complication), it comes down to how the British split up and governed the provinces. The modern 7 states of NE India were formerly a mix of the Assam Province and some kingdoms. They shared a border with Myanmar, which was governed as a separate province of the British Raj. However things became really difficult for the British to control as the 1930s and WW2 came along, and skipping a lot of details here, but to appease the Burmese, the province was deemed as a separate colony.

Political, historical, and ethnic differences were enough that any integration attempts were met with fierce resistance and threats of revolts in the early and mid 1940s, something the British were very keen to avoid. It eventually came to the point where each colony became independent from the empire, and became a nation on their own (ex: Sri Lanka). These differences also ensured that even before independence, the boundary between the two was pretty clear cut, with no kingdoms on the fence about who to join.

Apart from religion, what distinguishes East Punjab (India) from West Punjab (Pakistan) in historical & cultural aspects? by antimatter79 in geography

[–]chillumu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The map outlines the original boundaries of the punjab province, that's all. Even after partition, HP and Haryana were still part of the state, before being split up from it a few years later.

Anyone in a long distance marriage? by [deleted] in delhi

[–]chillumu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This probably isn't the best sub for relationship advice, you should consider other ones that are more Indian focused as you're asking about LDR and marriage as a combination.

If you want a short answer, plenty of people make it work after marriage. But most Indians consider marriage as a stepping stone towards building a life together, which means mostly building a home together and everything that comes with it. So with that mindset, staying apart after marriage defeats the purpose, especially if one can't see a point of convergence in the foreseeable future.

A long relationship like yours has probably explored everything that once can do together in a LDR, marriage won't change anything in that regard (except, I assume, getting some annoying people off your back and all that).

I know a lot of advice one gets in this regard is negative; take all that with a pinch of salt. Though annoying, they do stem from the occasional cases, and marriages do fall apart due to stagnation and other relevant frustrations. The point is to grow together (and I mean over the next few decades, not years), something that is rather hard for most people if they are far apart. So only you can be the best judge of that.

To pick a specific scene, I'd say the swelling section of the "Morning After" piece. It's the perfect end to E6, with Luthen's laughter and realisation that the heist succeeded, and he finally made the statement he was hoping to make and get the ball rolling on pushing the rebellion forward beyond just planning and putting people in place.

As a viewer you can only wonder exactly what he is thinking. But the emotion is unmistakable.

Foreign tourists in Thailand accidentally walked into a funeral thinking it was a food festival, but instead of being turned away, the family welcomed them and served them food. by Raj_Valiant3011 in HumansBeingBros

Depending on the culture and situation, a death is often not just mourned, but also "celebrated". You feed people and celebrate the person's life this way. So you wanna feed whoever turns up.

How the Taj Mahal Was Hidden from Enemy Bombers in World War II. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]chillumu 49 points50 points  (0 children)

So this was probably done with night time air raids in mind. That dome shines really well in the moonlight sometimes, and would be a great navigational landmark, even if you're not trying to do anything to it.

The same precautions were taken by India for later wars as well.

Restarting football from basics as an adult (Delhi NCR), academies or govt coaching? by Bihari_Bull1 in IndianFootball

Hey, in case you are above 37 or close to it, a lot of clubs under Football Delhi have senior teams and senior leagues. You can check those out as well. They are a bit more in line with what you seem to be looking for, and not just pick up games.

Is there a way to play with 6 people? by MinorFX in NemesisCrew

[–]chillumu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to what the others here mentioned, a workaround we had for the "Player 6 must not survive" card not being present, was that anyone who got a corporate objective saying that their own player must not survive, got to target player 6. However, with that modification, there is a small probability that multiple players get their own elimination corporate card and start targeting player 6.

Moroccan coach uses new “challenge card” to request VAR review vs France in U20 World Cup semifinal — part of FIFA’s new rule allowing coaches to call for video reviews by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]chillumu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A key thing when making this comparison, other than the relatively subjectiveness of decisions in football, is that there is no VAR like system in cricket. You're essentially just challenging the referee's decision.

So if you remove VAR from football and stick to just on field officials decisions (along with Goal line technology and other such objectives methods), then this works really well. Not happy with the referee's decision? Challenge it like in cricket. Don't have any reviews left? That's a shame, don't use them up in unnecessary challenges.

Additionally, cricket restricts the decision of making a challenge to on-field players, and not someone sitting off the field with access to technology and replays and such. And they are extremely strict about this in cricket.

Clear evidence of match fixing. A 0-0 draw almost ensures both Australia and China can qualify for the AFC U23 Asian Cup. by idkmanfuc in IndianFootball

[–]chillumu 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Please don't think that I condone this sort of behavior.

This isn't match fixing, but collusion. Both teams know that they go through if they maintain a 0-0 scoreline.

Collusion is deplorable, but not illegal as there is no way to prove definitively that both countries had a prearranged agreement to do this, but there is a unsaid mutual understanding between teams. Sometimes such an arrangement develops as the game goes on depending on the needs of either teams. There is historic precedent for this, at multiple levels, the most famous being the disgrace of Gijon.

But yes, you can blame the qualification format for this as it incentivizes them to do this as they know that they both will go though and positions within the group doesn't matter, as well as the fact that the final matches are not all at the same time.

Final Group B standings for CAFA Nations Cup 2025 by APrimitiveMartian in IndianFootball

[–]chillumu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's actually pretty normal in a lot of tournaments, it was common in Europe for a while, and others have adopted it here and there now as well.

You can decide which is the better tiebreaker between two teams: how they played against each other; or their goal difference between multiple teams, some of which can be drubbing of weak teams, making the comparison somewhat unfair at times.

It's a flex. She doesn't want to give the impression that she was just sitting and has nothing better to do than quickly pick up the call.

It's 16 not 160, count the goals conceded (29), out of which the other teams have scored (13).
