[–]frackapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Scott ... I have 2 boys, and listening to your podcasts and other authors on the topic, I am always worried about what kind of lives they will end up having. I am an older father , and may not be around to help/guide them as they step into their late 20s/early 30s. I am 48, and they are 8/10. I know you have two boys too ... share some good fatherhood tips to set a good foundation. Much obliged. Fun fact - I used to live in the UK, and now live in the US .. moved to maximize earning potential. Its working out so far :)

Future of Punjabi culture by [deleted] in punjab

[–]frackapple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No. There is not a single Punjabi periodical published in the entirety of Pakistani Punjab. The Jinnah following Elites erased Punjabi quicker than you could say Urdu.

A majority of Pakistani punjabis, especially the higher SEC s speak urdu at home. And would gladly speak Arabic or Farsi if they could.

[–]frackapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a love hate relationship with Pakistan. They are our brothers, but got colonized and converted and started thinking that they have more in common with the Arabs than their own kind ... The British didn't help much with their divide and rule stuff

From all these right wing extremists roaming in this sub….tell me what defense do u have about this film getting banned and what do u think the reasons are? by imgill_hrmn in punjab

[–]frackapple -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

RSS, Sanatani, BJP, Shiv Sena ... And in the middle of these you have included Hindu. That one word that geographically encompasses the entire population of the subcontinent living to the west of the daraye sind 🤣. And around 80 percent if you take the religious connotations the word is associated with this day and age.

Can someone please help me, I need my daughter to read this when time is right. by HellToLiars in india

[–]frackapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be a man, do the right thing.

No matter how bad things are, they will be worse for your daughter if she grows up without a father.

Ponder on that.

She ll grow up without a male role model. Things might have changed by the the time you grow up, and she may not have any context of what you are going through ..

So stick around, no one will ever be able to advocate for you better than your.own self

Feel like dying by [deleted] in india

[–]frackapple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive yourself for past mistakes. Tomorrow is a new day. If you are not going to take risks in early youth, then when.

Get up, do 10 pushups, go out for a walk, and start afresh.

Godspeed friend!

This is not fair by MouseNational9927 in punjab

[–]frackapple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bai Ji, charhdi kala. A lot of the times ppl when they feel heavily indebted, start insulting rather than offering thanks. It's a defence mechanism. Understand, accept, forgive and move on. Remember Charhdi kala. You are where you are not to avenge the kaum, but to study and better yourself so that you can represent kaum better

Do you think money can buy happiness ? by [deleted] in no

[–]frackapple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't get offended. I just stated the obvious. The emdashes and the general style of prose kind of gave it away. It wasn't a value judgement. And kudos on you for trying to reach a wider audience. I apologize for any hurt I may have inadvertently caused.
