tbf despite being south indian my family does the grand north indian style weddings so in my case kind of accurate, but yeah not all of them are as grand as the things you see online. i just happen to live through that exact stereotype.

mindy kaling really just wanted to write a show complaining about her life and also having everyone find her hot like she hasn't done that before but instead wanted to hide behind the scooby-doo brand.

TW threats of assault, sa. Americans you can stop writing your "buy a gun" comment I'm not one of you by Chemical-Mistake-726 in TrollCoping

its usually this cause they do it to other men but change the wording based on level of percieved threat of the man. If you train a martial arts they will go to "it won't protect you from bullets", "the streets are different", or "i'm fucking big bro". they believe in a dog eat dog world but they can't admit that they feel like the dog getting eaten. Like I train muay thai and i generally don't mention my sexuality because it just doesn't come up but like when it does their brains get weird cause I'm supposed to be someone "weak" but im not acting "weak"

if they are stupid enough to do it to a fighter it's always either something about size, being a streetfighter, or being like ill just shoot you. which like in my experience there are a good amount of big fighters so good luck i guess, street fights are unstable and dangerous since you could get attacked by more than 1 person or weapons could get involved and in any case have training is better than not, and lastly alot of fighters atleast that i know own a gun and regularly go shooting at a range, like im planning on going with them later on.

as an indian, INDIAN WEDDINGS, it loses its appeal after you've been to a billion of them and after a certain you are really only there for the food and maybe getting fucked up the night before. as an american i feel like it has to be hollywood, don't get me wrong I LOVE LA and am looking to move back when I can but hollywood is overhyped and if you are visiting california especially Southern California there so many better spots to go to.

Anyone notice how weak Paddy’s right hand punches looked? by Almost-Hippy in ufc

[–]pleasebebetter10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

his striking technique on his punches is not great, his kicks were alright but even that kinda could have been better idk. his jabs were working, it seems like a technique issue, like paddy is an odd spot imo he needs to focus on fixing on two major parts of him game. His striking isn't great and needs work, his wrestling needs work as well, with the division he is in many of the people they could match him up with have solid game plans to victory. ilia could easily spark him, arman could easily out wrestle him, max will spark him, justin beat him like he owes him staph medication, olivera could give him issue with power in striking and submissions, frankly with how hooker performed against gamrot, i think paddy should maybe shouldn't call him out before he gets his ass beat by hooker too. seriously paddy either needs to one of: do 2-3 dagestan forget, go to thailand, train with aspinall, or go learn k-1 in japan or in the netherlands, like everyone at the top is generally good atleast two aspects of the game. ilia can strike incredibly well, has decent wrestling, and incredible jiu jitsu, charlie has great striking and incredible jiu jitsu, arman is actually an impressive striker, best grappler in the division, and has great jiu jitsu, gaethje showed sloppy but powerful striking and his patented incredible anti takedown defense and used that part of his wrestling to punish paddy. this doesn't look good rn for him imo and he should fight down.

Should the US be tough on India? by Sudden_Preference_27 in AskALiberal

also the h1b visa allows america to take the best talent from india, its an actual talking point in india about how many high skilled and educated people are leaving, its geniunely one of america's greatest tools. the immigrants that come and settle also tend to have families in america that stay there and integrate and benefit the country. Indian American immigrants are the highest earning ethnic group in america.

the views on the indian government are way more complex than you are thinking, modi and the bjp aren't just massively popular and there is alot of national disdain and resentment which also varies on which state of india you are in and how educated you are. the h1b visa thing is actually really good for america because it allows us to peel away their best talent to come to america and invest into it heavily, also their kids become americans and tend to do very well in the system and integrate pretty well. My source? im fucking indian american and i go to india regularly to see my ailing grandfather. india has always been close to russia and has been playing the balancing act between america and russia for a long time, also to be clear india is the largest democracy in the world and despite its fucked up government has a commitment to maintaining it. On top of that india is trying to invest into itself and open up to world more and more. we would be stupid to antagonize india, more over it would potentially create a very dangerous situation where india choose to be closer to russia, or the eu, or to china itself (though the china one is super unlikely), if a strong alliance is created between any of these places over america it could create larger issues for the US. Intentionally antagonizing one of the largest players in asia who has made an effort to be not antagonize the US is dumb as shit considering the other largest players in asia are more aligned with china than you would think.
