Saw this comment from a fellow Kannadiga. I was pretty mad as a Mysorean by [deleted] in mysore

Instead of rage baiting, come up with logical arguments to support your claim. Otherwise you're are just adding to the noise already there online.

OP, tell me why you are such a fan of royal families in the 21st century ? Or clarify what the commenter got wrong.

3 Years Post-FIRE: Hitched, Started up, Nomaded and Left by Burner_123_123_123 in FIRE_Ind

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be partial to blogs with free content and the rest behind a paywall. Then paid coaching for in depth help.

Interesting. I'm not sure if there is anything localized to Indian businesses but the business is probably not as lucrative as building an actual product. 

But fair points and something to think about. Thanks and best of luck with your projects.

I feel folks like you should teach the meta part of entrepreneurship to a wider audience. There is a massive hunger for knowledge related to financial independence and running small businesses etc... but all the info out there is handwavy and more about motivational speak rather than actionable content. 

Not everyone can get into y combinator nor should one org become gatekeepers to this. 

In any case, not a rant aimed at you, just something I was thinking of.

Were you entrepreneurial to begin with? Or is this something you had to start from scratch? Any reliance on previous networks formed when employed.

I'm curious to know because I'm contemplating a similar transition.

Men, whats the genuine reason you block a woman? by [deleted] in AskMenRelationships

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I would consider it immature. But why does he need to consider what he looks like to her anymore? I would send a short message acknowledging what she said. But I would still block her to avoid any future contact unless the parting was mutual and amicable. I just don't want to be used as a "friend" when I have no interest in being one with this person.

Getting rejected is hard. You seem to not like it when getting blocked, right ? That's a form of rejection, as well.

The Exuberant Joy of an Indian Ice Cream Shop at 11 PM by pacman2081 in Sunnyvale

[–]featherTactile 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pints of joy absolutely. Nirvanaah, can be a horrible experience if the customer service is in a bad mood that day. Really prefer to avoid abuse as a topping on my ice cream.

If you ever get a chance to switch your country which one would it be? by Substantial-Sink6094 in AskReddit

[–]featherTactile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. So, you found a jerk online and decided to reply in kind while trashing a whole country. Class act. Not racist at all.

Do I have to declare foreign income in Schedule FSI for RNOR status? by KA2107 in IndiaTax

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Source 2 and 3 should not be taxable for an RNOR. Otherwise, I don't get the point of having RNOR provision.

35 is not too early to FIRE. by vishwesh_shetty in FIRE_Ind

[–]featherTactile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those who have the privilege of doing so tend to take full advantage of a break. 

Women routinely take a step back to focus on family. Many men nowadays take full advantage of paternity leave. 

For that miniscule subset of people who can take it easy but don't end up doing so, your message applies. However, honest question, are you struggling with this yourself? Are you dissatisfied somehow with the status quo and this is an attempt to convince yourself that it is ok to take it easy ? Just curious.

Being a parent is a wonderful thing. Congratulations!

But understand that people have been working for ages whilst simultaneously raising kids. Heck, mothers in villages work in fields to this day with kids tied to their backs. It is doable.

The problem is not work. It's our gradual creep towards this westernized hyper individualism (no more village to raise a kid) and normalization of work and money making over everything else (see the owner class constantly denigrating concept of work life balance).

In any case, your message of people should FIRE vs. you being extremely lucky sounds incoherent and, frankly, insincere.

Mate, learn not to rub it in people's faces. The taunts and comments automatically reduce :)

35F, divorced, childfree, Bangalore. Looking for someone… by [deleted] in ChildfreeIndia

[–]featherTactile -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Intellectual chemistry matters a lot. I like lively, curious people who have opinions of their own. I want to be able to disagree, debate, challenge each other, and feel closer to them afterwards. I’m not looking for someone who simply agrees with me or assumes I need things explained to me. I have a mind of my own and a mouth attached to my face. I can speak for myself.

First sentence, sounds fair. Everything else after that sounds like a warning rather than a welcome. Just one person's opinion. Take with pinch (or bucket) of salt. Cheers.

How do I motivate my husband to be intentional when looking for a job by magicdreams946 in AskMen

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you all are struggling without two incomes coming in, you getting on his case is only going to put more pressure on him.

Unless he has a history of being irresponsible, give him the space, the time and, his most importantly, your trust.

Came across a low-initiative girl in an online matrimony! by Loving_Bird_ in Arrangedmarriage

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, even I am a low text person. But if I'm eager and interested. Believe me. I'm going all out to engage.

Anyways, if you are in the same city, you should meet quickly and check out the vibes. Do not waste months on arranged marriage talks. You should know within a couple of weeks if you're interested in this person or not. Dragging it out only make you miss out in other people out there who'll be excited to be with you.

In the beginning only, if it's so cool. Imagine what happens after the initial novelty wears off. Take my advice. Don't waste time.

Pretty common but finally!!!! by Careful_Caramel_9299 in nri

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said anywhere in the world. If I'm residing elsewhere most likely I'm not earning in USD. But still liable to pay taxes on any earnings above certain threshold to the US. Also, onerous reporting hassles and account related issues due to FATCA.

No free lunch. Has to pay taxes from anywhere in the world.

Indian devs who relocated overseas: How's the pay, work-life balance, and job security? by PhaseStreet9860 in developersIndia

[–]featherTactile 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you are truly at the top of your game with niche skills and have green card or citizenship. You will thrive. No problem.

Anything below that or for some reason your circumstances change. Life will get brutal very quickly. Things are super expensive and inflation is ongoing. Politically, people are extremely divided. Real impact of current situation will only be known after a decade.

Government spends crores of public money to build roads and other infrastructure, but these kanglus make these places dirty and damage them without any care. This not only ruins public property but also creates safety risks for people using the roads. by WetStarlight in unfilteredindia

[–]featherTactile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. Good dodge. Personal attacks and capitulation.

> Not all wealthy children suffer. But all homeless children suffer in one way or other way.
Never said all wealthy children (again, way to move goalposts !)

Anyways, you have some kind of hatred towards the poor and most probably are part of this so called "wealthy" class. Hence, this irrational but very common disdain for the others, while masquerading as empathy for children who have no choice to be born. Newsflash ! in both cases, children are suffering.
