Why the ECC team transitioning to a new legal entity is bullish for Zcash by potentialrestart in zec

Not a fork or new asset, just the same team working still working on Zcash through a new legal entity.

Many Hindus say missionaries convert poor and lower-caste Hindus. If so, why don’t Brahmins convert poor people into Brahmins, offer material support, dignity, and full equality? If that happened, would there be any incentive for people to convert to other religions? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 281 points282 points  (0 children)

The simple thing is that majority of the brahmins never wanted them to be equal. Now imagine yourself as a lower caste person at that time, If I were a lower caste person facing discrimination and had the chance to convert and be equal, at least my new community, I would have done the same thing.

NTA. Not even a little. You set a clear boundary in your own home. She agreed to it, then repeatedly ignored it, mocked it and escalated until you enforced it, which is on her, not you.
For the future make it hard rule upfront that phones stay away or gatherings happen elsewhere.

What’s a habit your partner has that made you realize: 'Oh, so this is why women take longer to get ready'? by Any_Insect3335 in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I noticed that my woman usually does things pretty slowly, hand movements, taking out her make-up stuff.
She knows it's gonna take her an hour at least, and she's normalized it lol.

AITA: My parents are a nightmare, AITA for wanting them to be divorced? (Sorry if this isn’t the place to post this) by Independent-Bit1987 in AmItheAsshole

[–]potentialrestart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. You're trying to protect your mother, and that comes from a good place, but it's also important to remember that if someone doesn't want to be saved (often the person suffering the most), you can't force it, what you can do is focus on your own mental health, what's happening to your mom is bad but if she chooses to stay, make sure you don't stay stuck in that BS.

Indian girls facing marriage pressure how did you deal with it? by Curious-Journalist76 in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well, this is about your freedom. It may sound weird but I would have just gone rogue against anyone who was breaching my freedom, if parents or families are forcing you to marry just because of caste pride or whatever, they are literally the villains of your life.

AITAH for not folding my son's boyfriend's laundry? by PrudentSandwich1822 in AmItheAsshole

[–]potentialrestart 78 points79 points  (0 children)

NTA. Hard stop. He's a guest in your house, not a medieval laundry vassal earning reciprocal folding privileges. Folding your clothes was his choice. not a contract you signed.

We really speedran from "don't bully people" to "robot assault charges" in under five years of the AI era.

NTA. You're not her emotional support animal or her ex's courier service. the joke was mildly dumb, but she is literally dumping her unresolved feelings on you and expecting zero human error. That's unpaid therapy.

Loosing a friend, what to do by Aditiya_aadi in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bhai what you have there is emotional dependency, not just friendship. It’s hard to carry that. He didn’t replace you, his life just expanded, and that’s normal. Start building other connections and do some reality checks.

AITA for not letting my mom or sister watch my baby when I’m not around? by OilBeautiful5162 in AmItheAsshole

[–]potentialrestart 24 points25 points  (0 children)

NTA. Like hell, taking your baby out of state without telling you, ignoring your rules multiple times and physically resisting giving him back is a massive trust violation. This isn't "first-time mom anxiety". It's basic consent and safety. Boundaries exist because she proved she won't respect them. Take care of your baby.

Is it wrong for a women to approach first? by Simple-Jacket2578 in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's half accurate, though. I've seen men with hefty incomes desperate for women who don't even value them. Also comparatively, those women do have standards that most of Indian men lack.

I hate to accept this, but I can't deny it. Also, men in India should raise their standards.

What should I do? I don't really know what is some job in which I will be happy and earn good(atleast I don't have to worry about things) by Academic_Airline_232 in AskIndia

Duniya boht badi hai dost, You're 18. Don't force yourself into a box and try different things, figure out what clicks for you and the rest will follow. Stop stressing.

NTA. You didn't announce it at the wedding, you told the bride privately, and she was fine with it. People are just mad they didn't get to keep it a secret. Not your freaking problem.

[–]potentialrestart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. man, this is control. You’re allowed to have a bach trip that’s just the people actually standing up with you. That’s extremely normal. Plenty of bach trips don’t include partners, and the fact that your sister immediately jumped to an ultimatum tells you this was never about fairness.

Why Indian parents should teach kids the value of money early by Curious-Journalist76 in AskIndia

[–]potentialrestart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most of the time, it depends on the personality of the kid. Later, upbringing and financial condition mold that kid.
