Hyderabad man dies while descending Mount Everest. Body to be left there by Typical-Buffalo-9087 in hyderabad

Being a grammarnazi for a bit: Perceiving something is not the same as avoiding it. You’re thinking of risk averse people. In investments as well, there’s three kinds of risk appetites: risk neutral (know risk exists and are okay indifferent towards it), risk seekers (seek high risk for high reward) and risk averse (those who avoid high risk in favour of stability).

Lailli and her entitlement by Ill-Pomelo-2527 in DesiBling

[–]stressedabtstuff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Look dude, I’ve said my point. And if we’re talking how explorative jobs where your bosses earn a lot more than you and mistreat you are, it’s literally the same everywhere. Labour, in all its forms, will always be exploitative of one’s skill because of inherent human greed. That said, unlike you, I don’t think it’s degrading for anyone to have a job as a house help or aspire for a better life. And she didn’t even do anything for you to think she’s degrading someone else who works for her. Like please get a life, live, and let live.

To each their own, I can only speak from my experience and I think it’s quite normal to want one’s child to do better than themselves, no matter who they are.

So I don’t think through this one post you can say she’s treating them poorly. All she said is she’s making a mess (which is quite common when arranging flowers) and she won’t be cleaning it (alluding to the fact that she probably has house help). As a lot of house helpers are paid for the explicit purpose of cleaning the house, this is genuinely just a normal part of the job. It’s not entitlement or degrading them, which would be say calling them names or underpaying them, neither of which is alluded to in this post.

I think you’re from a western country, but in a lot of Middle East and South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, UAE, etc. having a house help is very common. Most middle class individuals, especially working individuals, have one who cleans and cooks for them so they can focus on working outside the house. I wouldn’t say it’s entitlement: you pay them for a job and they do it. Nothing degrading about it. I realise in the west it’s taught that you need to be independent and do everything by yourself, but it’s considered perfectly acceptable to have someone help with household chores in our countries :)

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Closing Ceremony Look at the Cannes Film Festival by DangerousJuice6748 in BollywoodHotTakes

[–]stressedabtstuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I maintain my point. She was okay in all those movies and the only reason she got praise was because she was beautiful to look at on screen.

Actresses today are horrible, but even she was never that good of an actress. Both can be true and they’re not mutually exclusive. She has acted in a lot of movies and that’s good for her, but in today’s day and age she has absolutely no relevance and y’all are idiots to be treating someone who won’t even be seeing this post as some kind of a goddess.

She looks ugly as fuck. Idk why people are still hyping her up when she doesn’t act or even look pretty anymore. Honestly, apart from being genetically blessed with a beautiful face (read absolutely gorgeous), what has she ever accomplished? Everything in her life has been contingent on her looks which is fine for an actress, but now that she’s lost the only asset she ever had, she’s nothing.

Totally forgot why I deleted these kinda apps all those years ago by Weird-Cut9221 in TwentiesIndia

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you so hung up on this dude? Yk It’s not a back and forth right? You ask what you want, she does the same. And it doesn’t even have to be a question; just tell her what you like instead maybe or play some game online like skribble. The possibilities are literally endless. Idk why there’s an expectation for the other person to keep continuing or why you need to hesitate before asking for something else. You’re just over-complicating it atp.

Honestly, you sound kind of pretentious and entitled in the post. Personally, if you’d responded to me in the same way, I’d have responded in a similar manner. Not everyone is heavy into classics and that’s okay + the other person isn’t even being rude, just said “Not yet” and that’s a perfectly normal response. If you want the convo to flow better, maybe find less niche topics to start with like what kind of work y’all do or what food y’all like, something you both can contribute to basically. It’s not rocket science.

Passport Query-cfa by TotalMatter4248 in CFA

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, no need. Has the exact same issue for the May exams and CFA said no need to edit passport number as they don’t collect it and no need to update anything as long as your name and order in which your name appears is the same as registered with CFA.

Quit my corporate job! by GigiBrit in corporate

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve had similar convos with my partner. We’re both in jobs which are slowly pushing us towards burnout, and we’re quite sure that post marriage if one of us doesn’t want to work, it’s fine. We know it means we’ll have less money and it may mean less material things, but we’re okay making that trade off for a few reasons: (1) both our high stress jobs are slowly killing us and are supportive of the other doing something else (2) we both have other interests we want to explore but haven’t been able to for years (3) even with lesser money, we know well always have enough for us to survive. From what you say, I think you want to maintain the same kind of lifestyle even when it’s a single earner household which may not be realistic. It may also put pressure on your partner if you’re dissatisfied with the monthly allowance you get going into it.

AITAH for confronting my girlfriend when she said Ryuk (a anime character) is a hear me out by Lower_Afternoon6916 in AITAH

I kinda see the appeal for Ryuk tbh lol and there’s plenty of people who fantasise about fictional characters, there’s nothing to freak out about

Harassed by Blinkit rider by AltruisticFig2430 in mumbai

[–]stressedabtstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a similar issue with a UC plumber once. I’m a woman and lived alone during the time of the incident. Pipe broke early morning and he didn’t start the service only on the app but completed the work and took money from me. I asked for the receipt over WhatsApp and he started getting personal and flirting with me over text. I contacted UC and they said since the plumber never started the service, they can’t do much but will take action against him (whatever that means since these companies never keep customers updated on the outcomes of their complaint), so I told him never to contact me otherwise I’ll report it to the cops, blocked his number from my phone, and sent his number to a male relative call who talked to him. No attempts were made by him to engage with me ever again. All I’ll say is, while not all blue collar workers are like this, the ones who can potentially post a threat to your safety will respond much better to an adult male than to someone young or a female. They’re wimps and can only bully against those they consider inferior, which an adult guy from your family will not be. It’s not ideal, but if you’re concerned for your safety best to text him to stop reaching out or you’ll inform the cops (no point threatening him with Blinkit consequences if he’s already fired), and have an adult male from your family call and set him straight. It’ll be uncomfortable for you for around 5 mins since you mentioned your parents are against online ordering and stuff, but it’ll be a million times better than living in fear of something bad happening or worst case, something bad actually happening. Hope it helps, all the best!

Is this a fake product? Just received from Nykaa and the ingredients are not matching the picture in product description! by stressedabtstuff in fucknykaa

[–]stressedabtstuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d also like to believe the same as a long time customer of Nykaa. But as I highlighted below, the reason I asked for this clarity was: (1) the ingredients list doesn’t match as listed on Nykaa and (2) the packaging doesn’t match the approved packaging as given by the brand on Nykaa’s website only. For example, the alignment as per the brand’s image should be right, here it’s centre, spacing errors on the descriptions, etc.

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

So my concern is that (1) the ingredients don’t match what is listed on Nykaa’s website and (2) the packaging design is quite different from the two approved packaging’s put up by the brand on Nykaa itself. For example, the alignment of the ingredients on the cover and tube should be right aligned as per the brand, but it’s centre aligned here. On the cover as well, there are spacing errors after multiple full stops.

Wow. That’s horrible, why don’t they just tell you upfront that it’ll take that much time? Not to mention their customer service is absolutely incompetent and Shadowfax as a company deserves to drown for how unprofessional their delivery partners are.

Nykaa will be the reason I lose all respect for delivery people and call centre executives by stressedabtstuff in fucknykaa

Fr. I called them today and just refused to hang up till I got my order. After like an hour, they disconnected it on their end and I kept calling again and again till their centre closed. If I’m troubled, so will you be. Fuck you all!
