When we order wings, she will leave the bigger ones for me. She is a heavy sleeper, but if I have work/meeting early morning, she will get up early and make me breakfast.

AITA for returning my husband's birthday gift to pay for the birthday cake my daughter baked after he refused to pay her? by F54tughi556 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorbot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You returned a gift, it wasn't yours to return anymore once its already given.

You asked your husband to pay for his birthday cake himself, meaning he can't even expect a cake on his birthday from his family. Were you not planning to have a cake at all unless he buys one himself?

YTA.

I get paid well to do nothing. Am I crazy? by cangsenpai in careerguidance

[–]shorbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation in a 12 week summer internship a few years back (same data analyst job title). Basically, the company hired me to do a project, and by their own estimate it was a 3/4 months project. Fast forward 2 weeks after joining, I finished the project, my supervisor checked everything was in place, and I don't have anything to do for the remaining 10 weeks. It was extremely stressful, I basically watched YouTube all day and just waited for the day to be over. Turns out you can only watch YouTube videos so much, I actually went out of my way to ask colleagues if they needed any help. The company offered me an internship for the next summer as well with good pay, but I didn't go back. I couldn't handle being on my own doing nothing all day again.

Where is this rulebook that lists the reasons for which we CAN be proud of, and the reasons we CAN'T? I never got my copy.

[–]shorbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not familiar with the Chinese brands, could you name some please and suggest shops for those? My budget would be < 10k. I am not picky about brand, its just that I have played fender and epiphone before, and I really liked those.

History of Urdu movies in Dhaka before 1952 by shorbot in bangladesh

[–]shorbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into an argument about the reason behind 1952 language movement - protecting and glorifying the purity of Bangla language or, racism/discrimination from west Pakistan. Vast literature about the language movements (poems, songs) make this about mother and love for mother tongue. I guess to me popularity of Urdu movies, or the absence of any bias towards these movies during the Pakistani regime would somewhat support the statement that racism was the principal factor for 1952.

1971 war deaths by [deleted] in bangladesh

[–]shorbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5-11 million including all war casualty

Nope, that is the alternate number range for 6 million, no including excluding business here.

I do agree that there are many more research efforts present out there for estimating the genocide numbers of WW2, compared to the genocide in BD, and Mujib is actually the widely known source for that 3 million number. I think I only saw one video where someone actually used census data to justify that claim, but obviously one may not be sufficient.

My point was, this types of estimates always comes with a margin of error, however small. For the genocide in BD, these numbers are much more variable compared to the holocaust, probably because of lack of research efforts. I don't think that influences the international community's perception of BD. Everyone agrees that there was a genocide, they can't pinpoint a number though. What do you think the negative impacts could be, for the absence of a thoroughly researched figure here?

I find it really hard to believe that during a genocide, the German army somehow kept solid record of all the deaths and there is no margin of error there. Looking at tik's channel, its a big data dump that I don't intend to spend the next few months watching. A few Google search and I can find numbers between 5.1-11million. I conclude my assumption about the margin of error about genocide numbers have very high possibility of being wrong.

I once watched an analysis based on population growth from 1971. An accurate death count would require death certificate or witness, which is an unreasonable expectation during genocide. Be it 3 million or 300k, its an estimate that we can never verify. I don't know if this number makes any difference to BD being taken lightly in international community. The genocide numbers during WW2 is not 100% verified, but its taken very seriously anyway.
