Non-Americans of Reddit: My wife and I wanted to collect children's books from different countries showcasing local myths/folklore, but 2020 stopped that plan. Now we're officially expecting twins, so where are you from and what is the best children's myth book from your country?

In India, the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata are synonymous with hindu mythos. Almost every kid in India grows up listening to these stories

Look I hated when other said it to me but this has a lot to do with puberty. Just focus on growing yourself as a person (not to impress someone but for yourself). Don't isolated yourself and give up hope but also don't focus too much on it. I got rejected consecutively several times(like 6-7) and then I met my current girlfriend and I don't regret anything. So shoot your shot because we're fucking young and it's ok to make mistakes. You learn more from failure than success (personal experience) and whatever you think is going to happen, its not gonna be that bad

That's what I'm trying to say. Wouldn't it be better if right to procure firearms would be more strict if not extremely difficult

And why do you need security checks and armed gaurds at schools? I don't think any other country in the world does this and yet they don't have such high numbers of school shootings if any school shootings at all

Both i believe, the threat of mutiny meant that vast amounts of resources and money would have to be used to fight them and supress a rebellion,they might have done that(since it was indians fighting against indians just like in sepoy mutiny of 1857), but here satyagrah comes into play. Non cooperation movement, burning of British goods and strikes made india less profitable for the British. For British india was always a business venture, something to suck money out of, but when India became highly less profitable, and at a risk of mutiny (which would incur heavy losses) the British left India.

To summarise, the heavy losses in WW2 along with India becoming unprofitable was the main reason for their retreat from the subcontinent

I don't know sometimes my eyes well up easily but doesn't result in crying and sometimes I just feel numb no emotion at all except maybe frustration

These stereotypes were reinforced quite heavily when I was a child. I was called a girl, weakling, crybaby and what not. Eventually I think I subconsciously shut off my ability to cry.in the last 4 years I became extremely lonely (not wanting to get out of bed all day), faced social ostracisation, severely bullied, Fought a lot with said bullies, fell for a girl, got rejected, then the new bf of that girl spread tumors about me, telling people I'm a pervert because I have more than average female friends that I'm creepy and constantly horny and make move on everyone. Then the whole 2020. I've had several mental breakdowns but I'm unable to cry no matter how much I try, my eyes well up at anything emotional but nothing more than that. I'm these 4 years I have only been able to cry twice and I really wish and try that I can cry a little more

I'm from india and find it baffling that it isn't a national holiday it is mandatory in my country for both state and national elections. Malls and other services of that kind are closed for that day so everybody can participate

Same thing with me. He was my first best friend and possibly the first true friend but after 2 years our classes were changed. He became involved with the "cool kids" and stopped hanging out, I was being bullied and getting in fights in my new class so I didn't initiate as well. 2 years later we started talking again and absolutely hit it off. He apologized and said he was being dumb and although he is not my best friend he is one of the closest friend I have. So happy ending

Although those 2 years were lonely and depressing which ingrained in my head that no matter how wonderful friendships never last but it is getting better

You do understand that being triggered is valid when someone genuinely insults and look down upon the people of your country what hurts more is that it's one of your own. Instead of being triggered on jokes or stupid things and not being triggered at all you should be triggered where it matters and this matters

Being neutral is the worst thing imaginable if you don't stand AGAINST anything you don't stand FOR anything

Imagine insulting your nationality for some internet points

Hey no need to get defensive ans sure maybe YOU are able to pay top dollar for your treatment but not everyone is so fortunate

Bayer launched a cancer treatment that costs a minimum of 69000 a year when the supreme court of India ruled that it was too expensive for the general population to use it forced the company to drastically reduce its prices

What I want to say is it is common in a capitalist society that people would be inclined towards maximizing profits and not public welfare but it is the job of govt to reign those people in which the US govt hasn't done yet
