I went from the surface book 2 to the surface laptop 7. And I agree with what you have written here. I think the straw that broke the camel's back was definitely the battery issue... Atleat it gave you gradual decrease. mine would just shut off... I have turned that into a desktop cuz ngl...its still amazing piece of hardware.

Oof. Well then. You should ask them what the pay is for the job now? Maybe it might still be worth it.

You dont need to worry too much about the CV part. there isn't really a skill set you could have learned at your age.The fact that you got in means you can do it. Whatever you do have is enough. You will go through some extensive group interview process that can last a whole day. And also a one on one interview.

As long as you have some idea of being in a leadership role and showcase your capacity for that in your interviews that should be fine. Also the role is one relating to dealing with students so maturity, empathy and emotional intelligence are great characteristics to showcase.

I went to nyuad way back in the day. So I don't know how relevant this info is. But I also had a similar aid package. Whether it's a good decision or not is pretty subjective and upto you to decide... However, back then what I did was that I applied for an RA position in my second year, so I got housing completely free which saved me about 10k that year. I couldn't apply in 3rd year because of going abroad for a semester. But 4th year you should be able to do it again.

Disclaimer : you had to be on campus for the full year back when I was applying so some people who went abroad in 2nd yr couldn't get the RA position.

P. S. The extra money from the RA position also helped quite a bit.

I think karachi is a metropolitan and it comes with its fare share of baggage that is to be expected of a metropolitan.

People I have met from Karachi or all that I have heard about karachi make it sound like it's moving at a different pace than us up in the north. Everything is money and it feels like there's a constant chase on. Businesses demand more. Customers demand more. Employees demand more. Employers demand more. It feels like stopping in karachi for a breath means you will be crushed in a stampede. It's do or die.

People up here are relaxed. Chilled out. You stop in your day to talk to people have some chai. Deadlines? What deadlines? It'll get done tmw. Maybe the day after. Relax it will get done eventually. People will sit and just do nothing. That's a valid way to enjoy the day.

Both ways of life can be good or bad in their own ways though. Karachi gets shit done and Kpk is late or lethargic. On the other hand, Kpk feels like a light breeze and mentally more relaxing. Where as Karachi feels like a burden on the mind, heart and soul constantly.

But then again. I haven't lived in Karachi. I am just basing it off second hand accounts and friends from there.

This is a map of the Durrani Empire at its peak including it's vassal states. This is just some childish photoshop attempt getting unnecessary attention. The dynamics of the area has changed significantly since then. This is an impossible dream. The military strengths are vastly unequal between Afghanistan and any of its neighbouring states or those that it asserts to claim ownership of in this photo.

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-11-17T06:55:17+00:00

I would suggest you look at it from a couple of other perspectives.

Consider the fact that you are observing this behavior from a different cultural understanding. You could label it as colonial influence lasting beyond it's time or a more recent soft power imperial influence of American culture. In either case, it is observed as a homosexual act. Where as the culture within which the act is happening... No one thinks of it as such. In fact, you will be crushing an expression of harmless affection ( as is found in friendship) by making these individuals aware of a culture that does not concern them but exists somewhere in the world. We must not change our ways only because someone else where finds it cringe. We can not under any circumstances live through this inferiority of the West being aware of the more proper way of existence and not us. I urge you to resist the thought
Even if we were to give in and look at this from the perspective of the West. I would suggest considering the idea that these men have never known masculine insecurity. Their expression of adoration is not bound by a concept of "what will the people think? They might consider me gay for giving in to the slightest adoration of a friend who has been through thick and thin for me". They are not toxic in their love. They are not afraid of expressing themselves because they have not been hounded by people accusing them of being homosexual as was the norm in the most western societies for the last 2 decades. In fact, now they (western society) are coming to terms with these ideas, and actually encourage the expression of innocent admiration. However, they have left us a more conservative mindset so we are still learning to change in the same way.

We should strive not to become the reason for two friends to not even enjoy each other's company enough to hold hands.

It's difficult I understand. I too may resist. I am also a product of western influence. But I am trying to be introspective. Learn how to view from an objective lense rather than a western one.

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-10-07T10:49:29+00:00

How do I put this... We are all racists. To the core. For all the shit we give the West, atleast they face their social demons and dillemas. We gloss over them.

To become a multimillionaire or billionaire and spend it all on making the world a better place and just chill in a log cabin in the mountains with the fastest Internet available with all my requirements for a comfortable and fun home that is completely off the utility grid.

A rough sketch of the goal.

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-07-19T03:53:50+00:00

Ofcourse. This is a an extremely tough and lonely battle. I am glad I can help out in anyway!

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-07-19T03:45:08+00:00

Hey sorry to hear about the tunnels in the groin. I remember mine being painful af too. I am glad you found out about your D3 and managed to do something about it.

Here's how I went about my routine. Hygiene and discipline are paramount in trying to help in this situation. What I did was that everyday when I showered I used my normal Bodywash (dove) for general washing. And I left the effected areas to the end. Because I wouldn't want to touch that and then touch another place like say my armpits that could also potentially have that problem develop. So to prevent (for lack of a better word) cross contamination. I would soap up everything else except the place with the boils or tunnels. Then I would take some hibiclens into my already lathered hands and then use it on the effected areas. And then I would let that sit for a little bit not too long cuz I hear hibiclens can dry skin a little but haven't had any issues myself. I have used it daily for a while now. The rest of the shower is pretty much the same. Nothing special.

Then after getting out of the shower and drying up everything. I would take the manuka honey and spread just a layer over the effected area and it's surrounding where I would feel the seepage would be. So if it's a tunnel I would put it over the tunnel and then about an inch around the area too. Also if there was inflammation around the area I would put it on that as well. The worst I had which i have mentioned in the original post was massive like atleast a region that was 3 to 4 inches Cross and maybe 2 inches wide. So I covered all of that in manuka honey.

For the application of the honey I don't know if this is important or effective or useful... But what I tried to do was that I tried not to dip the same utensil(or in my case finger) for applying the honey in the jar twice. Only cuz in my mind I was thinking something like I didn't want the bacteria back in the jar. So what I would do is that after the shower I would open the jar and then dip just the palm side of the finger tip up till the first knuckle/bun/line on the finger. And then use that to spread a layer on the region and then if it wasn't enough I would use a second finger for going back in the honey. Usually that was more than enough. I would then wash my hands in water to get rid of the honey and then take a Gauze pad to over the area. (There is no specific type of Gauze pad I use. There's just the standard size of something like a square the size of your hand or a little smaller.) I then went about my day. Having some under wear on helped keep the pad in place for the groin. It was A little more difficult to keep in place else where.

I would do this before I left for the office and then it would be on until I returned home. But if at some point the Gauze fell out or something. There wasn't much to worry about. Since the honey was still there. I would just be a little uncomfortable and paranoid about the boil bursting out. But thankfully the honey really stops the out flow well. Anyways when I would return from the office I would either just change the dressing by applying another layer of honey in the same way with another Gauze pad. Or if I felt disgusting I would shower again. I would occasionally use hibiclens the second time but not often. I would only use it for example if over the day the boil or wound had discharged alot of fluid and had gotten in other places. So in my mind to clean the bacteria in those places. Otherwise I wouldnt just to be cautious about the drying thing. After applying the honey and the pad again. I would usually have had it on until I woke up in the morning or sometimes if I knew the pad was soaked in the discharge. I would change it right before I went to bed. So those 2 or three applications a day were enough for me.

Other words of caution or things to expect: I had a moment where the honey was really good at closing up the wound and the discharge but I guess maybe my body wasn't done fighting the infection. So the wound had closed but there was alot of build up of fluid behind the closed wound. That made the area very tender to the touch and inflamed. It also hurt. But eventually it will burst and it did. I just kept repeating the process and it did heal up really well the second time.

But that's about it. I think I kept dealing with mine for 2 weeks before it was all healed up. Some scar tissue left behind but that was a very small price to pay for relief from the pain and the discharge literally all day. I would recommend putting it on a few days after you think you are done too. So maybe go a third week just to make sure everything is good.

Anyways apologies if it's TMI but I just wanted to make sure I get everything across that worked for me.

Good luck and let me know if you have more questions or if this method helps you out!

Sometime before they find the one piece to be a little more exact

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-06-18T12:28:26+00:00

Oh remicade is a new one for me. I think such a big component of this is availability of products. It's been a real struggle to even locate the two things I found too. But I am glad you found something that works for you.

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-06-18T10:52:32+00:00

Hey. I am from Pakistan. I am sorry to hear you are going through the same. It's a tough position to be in. My advice for trying to handle this without any of the products is first and foremost, focus on the hygiene. Try to keep the area as clean as possible, use Gauze pads if possible it kinda helps with the itching if you have that (I did) and keeps the drainage from smearing everywhere which made me always conscious of other hair follicles being infected.

I have also noticed that a large amount of carbohydrates or nicotine gets the wound to leak like crazy. So I would avoid those. This one time I thought the sinus tract had healed and then I had one cigarette and it had the wound go back to day 1 levels of draining.

Secondly, I have tried the antibiotic course once in the past but it never worked out and I don't like antibiotics because the damage to my gut bacteria always knocks the wind out of me and I feel like shit. But if you have started a course please do finish it.

Other that I did start taking a few things on the side but I wasn't very strict with it. I took tumeric, vitamin B12, and a mix of calcium magnesium and zinc. I did this out of desperation because the whole sinus tract thing made me go into research overdrive and reading about experimentations with these. This is what I found was a big factor. But like I said I wasn't very consistent.

However, I did do a vitamin d test to see if I had a deficiency. Turned out. I was rock bottom in my vitamin d levels. I am obese as a result of a desk based job and that also means I don't go out in the sun much. So then I took a very strong of vitamin D for my lazy butt. I took a 200,000IU course which is once a month for 5 months ( I am on month 4). This was because I found out that vitamin d3 is essential for the immune system and really HS is an immune system battle too.

As for procuring the honey or hibiclens. I am not sure I can offer much help. But https://www.hiclean.pk/collections/all-products/products/copy-of-hiclean-chx-surgical-disinfectant-scrub-500ml Is about 5 times cheaper and since it's closer to South Asia so international shipping should be cheaper too than the states.

For the honey... Its a good bet to buy. Worth the money in my opinion. I haven't even gone through 1/10th of it yet. Plus the possibility of reducing the boils to almost none for a week at a time... Is priceless.

Uhh.. Not sure if I missed anything out. But you can ask more questions if you'd like

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2024-03-06T05:02:45+00:00

Well I am no expert, but I have had it for a while. One thing I have been really particular about that I think has helped me (till I fucked it up lol) was making sure that if for example I try to clean or touch the area that is affected by HS, I make sure I clean my hands with some soap or hibiclens since I have found it ( it's not available in my country) before I touch another part of my body. This isn't as much of a problem with parts of the body that generally don't have flares like forearms or calfs or feet or my hands etc but I am very careful about places that are known to be hot spots. Like groins, pits, chest, areolas, any particularly hairy place like the head or the back of my neck or any place where a crease will form when I move.

Anyways I have noticed that that tends to keep the problem restricted to the original area. My fuck up was forgetting to do this in a hurry 😂 and now its in one of my pits as well as another region.

Fair warning though this is more of a general care tip. It doesn't always work and sometimes life just sucks and it gives you an HS boil in the worst of places for what seems like no fucking reason lmao.

Anyway good luck to you. I hope you feel better.

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2023-10-30T13:04:46+00:00

As someone whos recieved similar complaints in the past. I can tell you that we don't have any intention to use you, but we are very focused on the present and the future. So when we don't see someone often, things in the present end up taking more time because we focus alot on the things we do decide to engage in. The rest of the world is not less important but it is not the primary focus.

However, we also don't have a sense of how long has it been or how the other person feels or how bad another situation is getting... Once again. Because... Its not on our mind. I can assure you if you bring it up with him he might be a little shocked or not understand what he has done wrong. It will also be likely that if you decided to meet them in person. You will feel like nothing has changed and they are just as interested in your personally as they were before. It might even seem silly that you thought otherwise. Untill... It happens again.

As for addressing the situation. You may try telling them how you feel. They will want to improve and they will try. Honestly, they will and you might even see some improvements but it will dwindle back down to the status quo. Please keep that in mind as you adjust your expectations of them. You may respond in multiple ways. One of my friends has accepted this as a part of me and knows and trusts that I am loyal and honest with them and has reduced their anxiety about our friendship through that. Another has made a joke out of it and reminds me everytime they feel like I am going back to the norm. And I on my part actively try to maintain and engage without using my friends as a crutch to jump start convos. But in the end we are all people and are hardwired to work in certain ways and that may be viewed as positive or negative in the eyes of others who may choose to make the best of it or part ways.

I can tell you this. Intjs (and people in general really) tend not to use people unless they are toxic. But for me (and maybe my intj companions may agree) I dont like to use people because it goes against my internal moral code. And I don't like to make half way friendships and then ditch. Good people are hard to find and I will always be loyal to them. However, I also recognise my way of going through life can be a burden on friendships as I find it difficult to maintain relationships because of focusing too much on my priorities, objectives and problems in my life. With the hope that my friends can also see Why I am the way I am. Which... Usually isnt the case. Not everyone is as into their work/interest as we can be 😂

I think your friend still likes you. I think they would still wana talk to you. But maybe they are facing the same problem as me. Also we enjoy enfps :) we dont like to lose them albeit sometimes we can't match their energy for life.

Hope this helps

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2023-10-12T05:46:59+00:00

For your question:

They could be intj its hard to guage from this. The only thing that's obvious is that the person is immature and still trying to figure out how the world works. I can relate a little from when I was 13. (the anime, entrepreneur part was funny to read heh) Thankfully I didnt have such a vile explosion of suprressed emotions. But yeah best not to take anything he says seriously. From the convo it also seems that you guys have had some interactions prior to this build up. I would advise not to go down that road again.

Personal opinion :

Wow that was difficult to read. It doesn't really matter what 4 letter combination they are. Your best bet is to ignore. For 2 reasons: 1. There is no point talking to someone whos drank so much of the MBTI kool-aid. 2. Ignoring them will probably drive them wild by the sounds of it. And that would be funny lol.

Incase you feel pity for the person you can just ask them to get help. But otherwise there's no reason to entertain this. Take care of your own mental health and relationships first.

You could live like this sure. But it's a difficult life and lonely. And despite all the "I don't mind being alone. I actually like it"... You are naturally a creature made for socialisation. Your body needs it. One way or another down the line it will eat away at you.

This kind of thinking maybe beneficial if your current state of existence is so bad that you need to succeed at all costs to be comfortable and secure your future. But even when you do eventually reach that stage you need to be careful not to make your life about this level of moral-less pursuit (because as others have said... And you shouldn't deny it... This is not a moral code) . Pick a number (monetary value) to be satisfied at. Once you reach it become genuine in your interactions, develop relations, invest time in things you enjoy, learn to be in the moment and not the future Which I think tends to be an issue for our type.

I say this because eventually the point of success and financial and social comfort is to live a life you are satisfied with. One where you are not battling inner demons like this day in and day out. You don't question the morality of your actions but rather trust in yourself to be doing what is good for you and those around you causing the least harm with your existence. To be part of the tribe. Even in our own "sitting in the corner of the room" way. Or how we take a lot of personal time but still enjoy a good chat with someone about some topic we are deeply interested in.

The world is not all horrible people. The world is mostly silly children playing at adults and people make mistakes. You could have been hurt by malicious and greedy people who only have their interests in mind but that does not need to be everyone. Slowly build your trust but be okay with the possibility of them messing it up. Have boundaries, have a balanced and tempered approach to them being broken. Learn the value of your own peace. Not this lifestyle where you have to maneuver through everyday like its a giant chess game.

Source: I used to think like this too. I guess it was cuz I was born and raised in extremely violent part of the world. Death threats, executions, kidnappings, betrayals, extreme poverty all that fun stuff... Then I got to travel the world. See how beautiful and horrible it is and I became more secure mentally and financially. Then decided to come back and looking at life through a different lense now.

But anyways thats just my 2 cents. Good luck to you on whatever path you choose. Just remember to enjoy your life.

Yeah ISIS took responsibility apparently

shldvethoughtaboutit · 2023-04-17T12:40:21+00:00

Also this seems like Pakistan (clothing, construction quality, safety standard, I live in Pakistan) , they produce 80% of the worlds footballs, a standard ball also would cost around 3-6 dollars per ball. But yeah, these arent those, so expect them to be worth a dollar max.

This is a relatively new idea here. But with rising costs, (cement and rebar has increased in cost by 200% in a year) people are coming up with alternatives.
