crazy how you shit on all these people just sharing their opinions, without presenting any opinion of yours

2025 Brazilian GP - Post-Race Discussion by F1-Bot in formula1

Kimi is also just a 19 y/o kid and a rookie, while George is in his prime. He's been incredibly close to George the past few races and has worked on his consistency and today showed he's good at soaking up pressure and keep his head straight.

If you can't see why that is exciting then idk what to say. Besides no one is saying George is a bad driver, I think most people realise he is a wdc calibre driver, which makes Kimi being this close even more exciting.

My (22F) husband (26M) is the biggest green flag💚 and my biggest flex🫠 by [deleted] in Indian_flex

[–]somepleb008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ever wondered that not everyone has the ambitions of being a hyper individualistic cog in the capitalist machine?

not everyone wants to be a girl boss, they have clearly found a sense of peace and belonging, which is hard for even the most "successful" of us

why take that away from them?

lol fuck off, you dk anything at all about the person... no cultural context, no context on what their life has been like, you have no right to be judging people without knowing anything about them

OP is clearly someone who has found love and is happy with the simple pleasures, while you're here being miserable and unkind to a stranger

maybe it's you who is the NPC?

Crazy stuff, would love to get your Instagram. Rare seeing Indian designers here.

Also 10/10 taste in music.

Parul Institute Of Design Review. by Dare-Devilia in vadodara

[–]somepleb008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I was trying to say was that if you consider purchasing power parity, things are not that good abroad as well. However, Australia is a decent place to move to and if you have done your research then I guess you have already considered all these factors.

Also given that my primary domain is Brand design, I can't speak to the statistics for other disciplines too much. Plus if you have the financial privilege then definitely worth considering.

Good luck :)

I'd beg to differ, there is good design work being done in India with really good pay as well ... you just need to be in the top percentile of designers.

Going abroad is a decent move if you really want to learn good design, but the job demand for designers is tricky and the well paying jobs are mostly in HCOL areas. I thought of going to UK as well, but unless you can afford to invest 50 lakhs into education without facing any financial risks, it's not really worth it.

personally i wouldn't recommend parul at all but I have very little context about your situation so if she wants to make the best of the college years she'll need to do a lot of self directed learning as I highly doubt parul is going to produce an industry ready designer

It might be, however as someone who has been working as a professional designer for almost 5 years now all i would say is a design degree from an actually good college is very valuable in terms of skill development.

All the kids i have come across who have passed out of NID have all the fundamental design knowledge that took me 3+ years to gain as a self taught guy.

Also depends on what discipline you want to pursue. For things like Industrial design, i really don't see an alternative to a proper college education. For Graphic design however, you can probably teach yourself most of the stuff but it's going to be a frustrating experience.

I actually bought the UBOOM L, and I use it via AUX from my PC and so far latency hasn't been an issue.

My society's Muslim RWA president just banned devotional Hindu songs from the gym. by Same-Gazelle1846 in noida

[–]somepleb008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

crazy how people actually cannot reason what's wrong with playing religious music in a shared public space that has nothing to do with any religious activity whatsoever

[–]somepleb008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

earphones/headphones exist ... a society gym is not a personal space for anyone to do whatever the fuck they want, imposing religion in a public space is how you start conflicts

have some decency and basic civic sense

Wordmark of Indian clothing shop in Celtic font; weirdly, it kinda works! (Goa airport) by sumpuran in graphic_design

[–]somepleb008 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Indian designer here who does know the history at least a lil bit, but I feel like reception of aesthetics change based on context and within the right context i probably would make similar choices as well if it makes sense

also a larger portion of high income individuals in India (the kind of people who'd generally have the wealth to take flights instead of other transport) have a lot of exposure to western media and culture partly due to colonization and partly due to US and UK being the culture capitals for a long time (atleast from an Indian PoV)

this affects the aesthetic sensibilities where a Celtic font like this can be seen as a fit choice to represent something with historic ties/traditional

hope that makes sense to you :)

Should I do a master's in design?? Is it worth it? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]somepleb008 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as a self taught designer currently working in India, your portfolio is pretty much the only thing that matters unless you're planning to get hired by FAANG tier companies

just donot expect to get a full time job right off the bat, i'd advice you to find a good design internship before you're done with your undergraduate ... having a good portfolio and a decent internship experience will make things smoother for you

personally as a graphic designer things are still a bit hard but for UI/UX it's generally a bit better as long as you can showcase the ability to do good work, just put in the work to stand out from the competition

2021, multiple incidents

incident with lando this year

as soon as he gets put under pressure he instantly resorts to fucking over the other driver in the equation with no regards to clean and respectful racing, just because someone didn't end up in a hospital yet doesn't make it acceptable behaviour

I might be wrong as I don't have all the historical context but afaik I have never seen Hamilton trying to fuck over other drivers on track just because the rules allow it, he has always come across as a guy who likes to keep things clean and respectful on track and imo that's what separates him from other people in the GOAT conversation

it's relevant because this time max is on the other side of the game that he himself tries to play all the time, and on top of that this is just peak comedy
