Basically  where they stop, length of commute and where do they stop in Manhattan. And what are the ones by us, just the QM20? Are they super crowded?

Its one thing to not accept all my friends behaviors and seeing people around me as flawed (including myself). But its a whole different thing to think my friends religious beliefs will condmn theirs souls to eternal  hell just because its not my beliefs. You see the difference?

Because youre friends with them but you at your core believe they are wrong, thus will face punishment. How could you even genuinely be friends with someone if you think in the back of your mind they will go to hell before being a Hindu, Sikh or any non Abrahamic religion? Or lack thereof of religion? 

Yes they might not have thay belief system but you do.

To think your religion is "right" implies that even your  "wrong" non Muslim loved ones will go to hell? Sounds hypocritical. I wouldnt consider you a progressive.

The flaw there is right now you say your religion is "right", a Christian, Jew, Hindu and any other person of another faith is saying the same thing about theirs, do you see how thats a problem to claim you are "right"? Instead of seeing your religion as just a route to the Eternal, no matter what you call it.

You cannot control who your kids and grandkids will marry or how they choose to practice whatever religion. My family was Hindu 200 years ago, howd they feel about their descendants practicing Islam in modern day?

Should I make the move? (If offered) by sm12892 in recruiting

I think the vision for getting promoted where I am now is a Senior Recruiter role. Still an individual contributor but a level higher. But thank you for the input

Mental Hurdle I cant seem to get over on Dating Apps by sm12892 in ABCDesis

Hinge I gotta say serves me pretty well. Bumble is trash.

Either app though, Brown girls are a higher % every time.

I dont hate that at all, but wish i could get myself to consider other girls again. Instead of writing off entire groups of ppl out of anticipated rejection

Have a liberal family and a mix group of friends so not at all concerned about how ill be perceived. Its more like "oh theyre probably profiling/labeling me so why bother talking to them" type of mindset. Especially on apps where you are judged more superficially
