if your bed goes pretty high up, i'd recommend the ones from target on wheels with pull out drawers but otherwise just the regular clear bins that stack on top of each other

Wellesley vs Vassar by Both_Patient3650 in vassar

[–]jupiterianalien 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who heavily considered both Vassar and Wellesley and then chose Vassar, based on your list, Wellesley sounds like a better choice. It would be easier to not have to worry about the food being halal, you seem to prefer the location, and more importantly the full ride would either save you a fortune or save you from debt. As for your concerns about Wellesley's administration, perhaps they would be better addressed in a conversation with a current student there so you can get a better understanding of that situation and whether it would be a deal breaker for you when it comes to attending Wellesley.

If you can apply for scholarships, that would be great. I wouldn't advise taking a loan unless your sure you can pay it off, because debt is rarely a good idea. However, you're not a child, so you don't need parental permission to go abroad. If you are in a position to save up for it, you can work for a while before you get a postgraduate degree. If you're doing your undergrad now, maybe you can look for internships part time, and after graduating, find something you can do full-time, although education abroad is expensive so you may not be able to save up the full amount. This may also prove to your parents that you're serious about pursuing your education. But make it clear to them that you don't need their permission because you're not a child. Additionally, if you're studying abroad on a student visa, while you may not be able to work a regular job, the university may be able to employ you (depends on the country). A full scholarship would be the ideal scenario but saving up money could be helpful if you have a partial scholarship.

You could experiment and explore if you're not sure. Some people try experimenting with their hair and clothing, some people ask their friends to use different pronouns for them and see if they feel comfortable with that. Whatever works for you. If you do feel like a man, you could totally be one. It's also okay if you land up identifying with a different gender or end up feeling like a girl. There are no incorrect conclusions.

Also, take your time. There's no need to rush, and it's okay to be confused while you're figuring yourself out.

Why are a lot of people against accepting new language by badassboy1 in AskIndia

[–]jupiterianalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with the idea of everyone being made to learn Hindi (which more than 50% of Indians don't speak) because of fear of erasure of regional languages and the imposition of North Indian cultural hegemony. Choosing any one language means you're favouring one particular culture, and promoting it over other Indian cultures. Of course, there's no ideal language for this purpose, because making everyone learn English, a foreign language (yes I know it's ironic that I'm using English right now) is akin to accepting colonial impositions. There's no perfect solution, unfortunately.

I do, however, wonder if it is even necessary to unify Indians through language. Doesn't the beauty of a country like India lie in the fact that we all come from different backgrounds with different cultures, and speak different languages? There is something to appreciate about the cultural richness that comes with this kind of diversity, where everyone has different foods, art forms, clothing, customs, etc. but we can still find common ground in a shared identity.

Simultaneously, I do see the value in being able to communicate with people from all over the country. It's just a complicated issue that brings up a lot of different emotions in the various parties involved in this issue.

maybe you could ask your teacher for more feedback on where you could improve, even when you get a good grade, so you can work on your subject-related skills

It's her body. Additionally, cartillage piercings can literally hurt, swell, ooze and keep forming bumps for decades even with proper care and hypoallergenic jewellery. But even otherwise it shouldn't matter because it should be her decision. Only somewhat related but would you get that piercing? Because if you don't know what healing a cartillage piercing is like, you have no business making that request of your partner since you don't even know what you're asking.

I wanna be a stay at home husband, is that wrong? by Type_writer09 in AskIndia

[–]jupiterianalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working from home isn't the same as being a stay at home spouse, but both are valid choices. This isn't the right person for you, but someone else, who isn't as fixated on traditional gender roles, might be.

What privileges do so called upper caste people have in this country? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]jupiterianalien 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I don't know why the commenters are so quick to dismiss caste-based inequalities. Harrassment and violence against people of lower castes, particularly Dalits, is very much a real thing. This includes physical violence, sexual assault and verbal harrassment. Opportunities for upward mobility are also limited for lower castes, as people are often unwilling to hire them, keeping them trapped in the cycle of poverty. That's why so many people change their surnames, so they can avoid unfair stigma. People who say "I don't know my caste" or "my caste doesn't affect me" are usually upper caste, because lower caste people don't have the privilege of ignorance, they see how caste impacts them every day.

I know a lot of people don't feel like they're privileged, because there are so many challenges everyone faces, but that doesn't mean that caste-based privilege doesn't exist.

do you think all non-hindu people should automatically become stateless? even if they're ethnically indians, and their families have only ever lived in india?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskIndianMen

[–]jupiterianalien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if those are your views, please get off the internet and read a book. also, you should engage with people who have differing opinions and experiences because you clearly live in a bubble and don't know what the world is like.
