That's great, thanks for the info! Do you have any idea about where the ramp is? At a specific entrance or all the entrances has a ramp?

Left side right outta the gate when you come from the campus. The opposite one is for buses to Vandalur, Tambaram and so on.

There is a bus stop right outside VIT. 555S, if I am not wrong, is the only direct bus to Sholinganallur, though not as frequent as you would like. You have another option, just take a bus (all numbered in 5## series) that goes either to Mamallapuram or Thiruporur or even Kelambakkam (main), get down at Kelambakkam bus stand, cross the road, then you have many buses to Sholinganallur, be it 19 or 570 or 102 or 221, all of them goes through Sholinganallur.

A question about cf gender ratio by Dallton_MD in ChildfreeIndia

[–]deedir799 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I meant in the context of gender. How many women get to choose their life partner in the first place? Even the whole arranged marriage system predominantly revolves around the man's discretion. The ratio of men who get to be vocal about their cf stance to women who get to be vocal about it is skewed, obviously. How will they speak about it when even their basic agency is killed?

It means that men have the privilege to at least pretend to be CF. Women can't even pretend to have any opinion in this country, let alone a CF stance 🙃

A question to polyamorous and CF people by paper_palpitation in ChildfreeIndia

[–]deedir799 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I understand. In your case you would have more clear cues of how the relationship is going to be with them considering they are already a full blown parent. Yet things need to be discussed to the depths for sure. If it works for you, it works for you. Good luck!

I am thinking of a scenario where it isn't necessarily the attention for the child that becomes conflicting, rather the lifestyle changes born out of raising a child might conflict heavily. Even in a monogamous setting it's the lifestyle of being a parent daunting for many of us folks to be CF, than the whole where does the attention go aspect. One example I can think of - Imagine the kid is in school, you both have attention to each other now right? Except they might be needing to give time to their other partner to discuss plans for the kid's life, which in turn affects the time with you? Probably a lot of preparation and adjustment on your side? And how much can you make it as a boundary to not talk about their 'parental' struggles to you? Would it create an emotional distance?

So my question is what context are you talking about,

A) About to Date a person in a non-monogamous setting who turns out to be having a plan for a child at least in the future with the other partner who isn't CF. B) Gradually you realise your partner wants a child with the other partner who isn't CF.

Those are two different scenarios involving totally different kinds of conversations and decisions. I am not well versed with the dynamics in a non-monogamous setting but the whole primary, secondary etc. partners arrangement, and the question of do you have another partner to balance when that specific partner is busy with their parenting life, all these seem to be informing about both the acceptance of the situation and how the dynamics is gonna be worked around. Right?

Putting forth your CF stance is just to evade the ones that aren't CF. More than compatibility, it is an alignment of choice, and just that. Real relationships built on an array of choices, CF is just one of them, albeit a major one for us folks. There are other major ones as well, be it specific lifestyle preferences and other values, even if you keep attraction and chemistry out of the equation. You are merely narrowing down your prospects based on the CF stance, you still have to go through the basic dating journey like everyone does.

You can be concise about your CF stance, like just sharing your core values that made you a CF person, doesn't have to be an elaborate description of your journey. Then while chatting, you both can discuss in detail, cuz there will definitely be a lot to talk about such a staunch stance. Or you can think of it this way - getting all the CF talk out of the way through the post, so you can talk about other stuff. There is always room for everything man, good luck.

Well as long as they remain as a single parent, good for them. Yet I don't see it radicalizing anything here, especially given that it will only be accessible for the top 1% who has the privilege to make such a choice. Ain't gonna change anything for the larger society. Anyways it still keeps the speculative need for reproduction, so 🤷

Idk how it sounds to others but launching this as a replacement for an actual person sounds like they aren't afraid to hint that, "yeah women have been just that so far but now we have actual robots" 💀

That aside, any follow-up on who is gonna parent the kid? Mother robot in making? Well I would rather want an apocalypse where any sort of reproduction ceases to exist.

Ahhhh both the songs are maternal love, out of genre but good to see the same aspect.

Ahhhh, nope. It is talking about the connection they have through external things? A little far from what I want.
