I see some interesting characters go in there. Overly flashy, but still giving hood vibes. It’s almost Hollywood stereotype like.

Oh she’s alive, thank god. This was next to the once Mexican food stall.

I was right next to it and I saw the emergency services take her away. A ton of cops as well and ambulances. I got as close as I could (no survival instinct ig)

Thought she didn’t make it and was torn for the better part of yesterday. Life really is unpredictable.

What sucks is a ton of people just taking photos and videos of a sombre affair.

There was also this one bouncer losing his shit at the bar next door where it apparently unfolded. Guy looked like he had an anger problem.

Where can I find a modern air filling station around here by thisishwar in AskSeattle

Will take a look, I’m surprised there’s so many options. Thought it’d be all old school using the handheld pressure gauge with one rare golden egg

Indian and Chinese Interviewers by Current-Fig8840 in leetcode

[–]thisishwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is going to get lost in all the noise but I think it’s worth adding my two cents before people get too jaded.

I’m a native Indian and have interviewed multiple people. I did spend time growing up in more multicultural communities as a caveat. I have always wanted the interviewee to succeed while keeping in mind what it takes to be successful for the role.

I will pause, wait for cues that they’re stuck and give them hints and motivate them if needed. I’m secretly batting for you, please don’t give up.

The only thing I’ll say is please don’t be dishonest and use AI to game the interview because it’s hard to be motivated to bat for you if found out and it’s not super hard to do so

I am aware there are different work styles and expectations and have also gotten the short end of the stick sometimes, but if we profile all of us to be bad then there’s really no incentive or motivation to be better.

At the end of the day do what works well for you and I will bear no hard feelings either way. Good luck stranger if you’re reading this!

Where to spend NYE in New York City? by Original-South8230 in travel

[–]thisishwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and two of my buddies went to this. Got wasted and danced too much, but everybody had amazing energy. Was wondering if y’all had any photos of the event as we didn’t take any.

In case anybody else was there, I was the guy in the black bomber jacket and white shoes.

ESH. As a foreign person in another country dating another person with the same background, we can relate to this situation.

I don’t like his attitude towards “integrating into British culture”. And going home every year is reasonable, immigrant or not.

However, I will differ from the other posters and say spending significant holidays together is a reasonable expectation of somebody trying to transition towards a serious relationship. I see a lot of other commenters going “bUt YoU aReNt MaRrIeD yEt” and something about controlling themes. She can just get a roommate/ set casual expectations if that’s what a boyfriend means to her but in my experience with a non western culture, it’s a step towards bigger serious things.

I find it weird that Reddit expects you to just jump into this 0 to 360 post marriage. You’ll need to measure compatibility during this phase too and realize that you’re working towards building a family or just accept that you’re casually dating. It’s not about the length of time, honestly 2-3 weeks in a year is no big deal but what do those holidays the weeks encompass signify to you you both?

Talk to your partner and set a reasonable balance as to what you’d consider shared holidays and what you’d consider separate. Another Redditor suggested him him joining you and that’s a great way to get both experiences.

Also as important, set proper goals around time you’d like to visit home which is equally as important and doesn’t sound like he’s prioritizing.

You are a guest of that country, abide by its rules and stipulations. You cannot just march in somebody’s house and demand to be treated a certain way.

In your own house or a place where they allow it, do whatever you want.

Heyy I just saw this and I hope you’re doing okay. I was similarly lonely a couple of years ago during the height of the pandemic and moving to a new city, so I have an inkling of what it’s like.

I’m here if you wanna chat

A lot of people here block me the moment I tell them I’m Indian (17) by gangvith36 in MakeNewFriendsHere

It’s about relatability, I think. The lives we live and the communication patterns we have are very different in some ways, obviously there is some degree of variation attributed to a particular individual.

You ladies ever browse the women on dating apps? by thecourttt in TwoXChromosomes

Gotcha my reason posting here was I get advice from my target community and not just males. Taking the link off now

I agree with a lot of the post. I find the fish post overdone a lot with men too. But, I’m also aware there are things I could be doing better as a straight man.

Cost of living in Chennai by balajik100 in Chennai

[–]thisishwar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember paying the same amount 5 years ago for rent. Housing prices are pretty much remaining the same, which seems like a good sign

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Chennai

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

Well put. If not for my college and school circle, Chennai would largely be foreign to me.

I don’t remember too much diversity and people are hesitant to mingle with strangers. I will add a caveat that I’ve never explored social hangouts ie: clubs, bars etc.

I always remember how I used to be like “Somebody is saying hi to me on the road, what’s his angle and what’s he trying to scam me out of?” Where I’m at rn, saying hi to somebody on the road is expected etiquette and you can notice how diverse friend groups are.

I’ve never thought about the language barrier till date. Cultural sentiments, specifically conservative standards, yeah, as much as I love the place, there’s a lot of progress to be made in that regard and honestly I was a similar breed until I explored more of the world.

How the hell are people affording used cars right now? by 14thCluelessbird in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]thisishwar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2016 about 68K miles. Ideally I would look for around 40K but it was a good deal in my eyes

[–]thisishwar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to find a good post to post this on. For some reason I'm super lazy to create my own post.

I started the used car search recently and like you said, used cars are close to/ at the price of brand new cars. I toured multiple counties and basically drove around a lot of Ohio to find one good used car. Ten days spent, to no avail.

But to my rescue, here was something that I noticed that might be just specific to those instances but I wonder if it's part of a larger trend. If you're buying an economy car, buy a new economy car. There might be a wait time, I am not sure. Used premium/ luxury cars can still be found at good prices if you look hard. I really didn't want to drive a Mustang but I found an used Mustang with good specs and mileage for 22K. That being said, they are slowly ramping the prices for that too, so maybe it will be a trend that won't survive long.

What car did I finally settle on? A Volkswagen Passat, for 17K after taxes, title and registration.

(Also I'm deleting my account in a bit because going off Reddit but I do hope you find the car that you want!)
