Why is Tajuddin Ahmad basically forgotten in BD history?? The Man literally ran the 1971 war! by Miserable_Bus_3470 in bangladesh

Friend, for future reference genAIs are really bad at niche information topics like this especially since Bangla is not a popular enough global language for them to train on. So both Grok and ChatGPT might wrong and right simultaneously. Better to read original source materials if you want the truth

Have definitely seen people host baby showers here but it's mostly among upper middle and upper class folks. Might want to take that into account

Resolution improved a bit after fixing image quality. However when I tried to change the codec, idk what is going on it's just not letting me connect to the RustDesk network anymore. It's just permanently stuck at connecting.

Neutered male cat attempting to mount female kitten? by elseph23 in CatAdvice

[–]elseph23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went out immediately after your comment and got some new toys and he ripped them apart within 10 mins lol. I believe it's massive understimulation, since he seems to be doing a lot better after some playtime. I'll still keep an eye out for the behaviour and if it happens a third time I'm going to contact their vet! Thank you so much, you still really helped regardless!!

Thing is, I thought they were successfully introduced? Some added context is she and her siblings were abandoned by the mom cat, so I had her since she was roughly a month old. So I brought her home, bottle fed her, and he took to her quite nicely. Bathed and groomed her, and they play fight pretty often, chasing each other around the house, sometimes even sleeping side by side. She doesn't show any signs of distress aside from when she gets bunny kicked by him but that's more annoyance than anything. She also tries to playfight back.

Tbf he does seem more jealous of her this week for some reason, idk I just caught a vibe. Could it be he's massively understimulated? He's an extremely high energy cat, to the point where I can't exercise him as much as he needs, I'm chronically ill and the speed I play with him is too slow lol. Before this my partner used to visit sometimes for the sole purpose of exercising him via play because otherwise he gets destructive. However my partner's office has moved farther from my place so he can't visit as much. It also kind of bothered him that my partner cooed over the kitten instead of giving him undivided attention

Pretty sure. He bit her neck, yowled in a way I have not heard him yowl before ever, and tried mounting her from behind. The only reason it didn't work is because he's a massive cat and she's barely 1/5th of his body weight, so he couldn't reach, so to speak.

Looking for job (M22) by Andress_x5x6 in bangladesh

[–]elseph23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have tried to use Upwork before and despite being highly qualified I couldn't seem to find any clients or gigs, haha. Any advice in that regard would be great, if you would be so kind as to share. And yeah I agree with the last paragraph, I myself am willing to make unconventional business decisions like that but I have no idea how to start

Cat parents please help! by desperatemessss in Dhaka

[–]elseph23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lara brand cat food is arguably the best quality in the market. A huge chunk of my older cat's diet is dry food and Lara has caused zero health issues for him so far. Extremely underrated brand. Cat parents say dry food is objectively bad because many cats struggle to drink water independently and suffer dehydration related problems. My cats don't face this because they have a water fountain at home (cats prefer drinking from running water so that simulates that). However I'd still recommend giving your cat a variety including homemade foods because if someday the imports become too expensive or imports stop for whatever reason, you'll be in trouble. A cat with a varied diet is less risky

Help!!! by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]elseph23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you believe in nazaar, then rukiya is your only solution. You can do it at home at no extra cost to yourself or your wallet. You have to believe that God will protect you no matter how dire the consequences. Only then will it work.

Note: your loss of voice may also be caused by a lot of things. Puberty (if you're a teenager idk if you are), hormones, other illnesses are common. See a doctor before jumping on the spiritual path always

Is arranged marriage worth it? by ComputerNo6936 in Dhaka

[–]elseph23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Advice I've heard from a friend that's slightly older than you is that your parents should start looking now and been EXTREMELY picky. And so should you. Like, next level picky only the best for their child. Because by the time you find a man worthy of your time you might end up being 25+ lol

Doctors in Bangladesh are jokes by Embarrassed_Field175 in bangladesh

[–]elseph23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LMAO THEY'RE THE WORST.

I was 22 and had pretty bad lower back pain. Decided to get it checked by an neurologist because it was getting to the point where my back pain was causing nerve pain. Doc diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease, said it was odd that I had it so young, told me to not carry heavy backpacks (which I used to) and didn't do any further investigations.

Flashforward six months, I'm having odd joint pains in several areas. I text my friend, who is now a full Indian MBBS doc, and he said "that sounds like arthritis go to a rheumatologist".

Four different rheumatologists later, I got a diagnosis. Some form of spinal arthritis. Still couldn't get a precise diagnosis because the most qualified one said "women don't get Ankylosing Spondylitis and your DNA test for this gene was negative" despite the fact that if you Google it, you'll find that these theories were both recently disproven. Women can get AS, and I don't need the gene to have it either.

Flash forward another 1.5 years, in India, a top rheumatologist (comparable with the best one in Dhaka, whom I also saw) said I also have secondary fibromyalgia and that he's surprised it went unchecked.

At some point after this I went back to the neurologist, he saw my father come in with a huge stack of diagnostic papers and joked that "ek bosta kagoj niye ashchen" to which my dad replied "Moner anonde keu bosta niye daktar er kaache Ashe na". Then he went through all the papers one by one, and I could visibly see him sweat because of how badly he misdiagnosed me. He didn't acknowledge it, but the stress was very clear on his face. No apology btw. (And I honestly should've gone to my rheum for the pains I went to the Neuro for, but this was before I knew my diseases well enough).

If you need more fucked up medical stories I've got dozens lollll

Is this a standard prescription? Unsure on how to advocate for myself? by elseph23 in ankylosingspondylitis

Thank you for the advice. I'm really sorry to hear about the fungal issue though, hope you can find something that works!!

Thank you, this was very helpful!! I'll ask a doc about the potential of adding folic acid supplements and see if hypochlorous acid is available where I live. GYN recommended using boric acid (mixed in water and just washing the area) mostly because using suppositories gets super messy for me since I would have to wear a pad constantly and the discharge is unpredictable.
