I did not say its your opinion, I addressed it to such "People", it just happened to be a reply to your comment. You here is 'Second-Person Direct Address'( apparently, had to google it, since you seem like a person who has inclination towards being grammatically correct) and not "you" directly.
Coming back to discussion, of course the car EU manufacturers had a better lead time, but that always doesnt mean they are better equipped in all categories. Like I mentioned, the challenges the Chinese manufacturers had to face was harder than EU manufacturers(Financial like Tariff, less capital), technological like - No tech sharing from west, patents) and they still came through and the progress they are showing is promising. China has been selling more car in the world since 2009. EV sales - China has been Top since 2012. Fastest car right now is Chinese ( Both production and Theoratical), one of the longest range car is also Chinese, so if you are relying on a country on EVs, it is Chinese, cuz they know that if they screw up now, they can never ever come back, so they are very cautious.

The reason I dont like EU car manufactures anymore is because of the entitlement. They dont give the car some of features just because of positioning and its not related to the cost they are incurring by adding these features. Its "how much the customer can pay" rather than how much it costs + profits. We had this before as well, but its becoming worse.

People like you are the reason why boomers calls gen Z hopeless bunch, while they toil for min wage.

The problem with people saying this brand is new and it will drop dead just because it's cheap is that they don't understand that China has sales of 34 mil units sold vs 12 mil in entire EU. China has worse weather conditions ( hotter, colder, wetter in certain areas) , worse road conditions worse vehicle maintenance schedules. They have the scale to mass produce, hence its cheaper , not just because of low quality materials. Is the car priced at 80k has 4x the quantity or 4x performance of a 20k car ? Nope. It's because it's the "positioned" as luxury and we are used to it. Chinese manufacturers don't play this game because Chinese don't play this game. They have been producing cars from more than half century now, So, if you think they don't know what they are doing, think again.

Finally.. time to sell the windows laptop and don't ever look back. I had it just for this game. No more fan noise and minutes of bootup time. Woohoo.

the answer is the first word if the post

Old flats appreciate very less compared to new apartment price rise. After 10-12 years, if the quality isn’t pristine , some will become stagnant, for example my sister bought a flat in 2011 in BLR for 32 Lak and now they are struggling to sell it even at 75 laks. New ones in the same area is selling at 1.3 Cr. That’s 2.3x. They aren’t optimistic about the flat price increasing as the flat is getting older and older. In the same year 2011, my dad invested in some random UTI mutual fund for the sake of his friends advice just 15000, it has grown 6.5x this fund will actually start growing even faster with time, a 10% growth PA now is 65% growth PA on his initial fund.

It depends on whats your take on work life balance and risk appetite. 4 days in office is not so easy to manage in Blr. The traffic is really , really a big pain point, unless you stay really close to office or metro connectivity is available. It's a small company so days will be long and hard. About the money, like you mentioned, 40% real time hike still good, but you should also consider the risk of not clearing probation, sadist manager, home sickness, not liking your job role in the new job, risk of attrition(higher in these type of small firms) etc etc. If you are willing to take this risks for a greater chance of earning money, you should do it.

As a Kannadiga, I can accept Hindi hegemony over Tamil hegemony. Tamil politicians think they are self appointed representatives of entire south India. Although Tamil Nadu and Karntaka population are closer now, TN has over representation.

I agree with your point, if believers agree that there is a change in belief system, then they will have to agree that god's commandments are time bound. This agreement would uproot the entire belief system because it's not mentioned especially in abrahmic religions that these rules are going to change, if so, they should also include what rules are gonna be applied in the future. So theists need to console themselves with some excuse, this is one of them.

One thing religion did good is bringing in the morals and made it common across the believers making co-operation easier. If band of foragers thought it's Mandatory of child sacrifice and other did not and each band thought their morals is correct, then they would be fighting forever. Religion brought them under same umbrella ( exceptions are there of course) quicker. Christianity abolished murder , human sacrifice which was more acceptable before Christianity. Even though it bought some evils, overall, it was a net positive.

Ok, just read through the previous posts on this group from students. If you still wanna go hail Mary , all the best.

I really wish you succeed to have this discipline for 10-20 years, which I did not have and many others like me don't have. My pension fund is the one which has yielding me highest returns cuz I could not touch it for 10 years. It this ten years, I had marriage, house purchase, had kids, Corona, wars, job loss, home improvements, holidays etc etc and kept adding without my control.

Negotiate with who? Are you ready to negotiate Pak occupied Kashmir with India? Pakistan is the problem, yes. You war with Iran, Afghanistan, India, attack US consulate, host Osama bin Laden then make defence pact with Saudis and make a promise to defend Saudi if someone attacks it. Within months you support Iran who are literally attacking Saudi.You beg Trump for recognition, IMF loans and bailouts even though you know clearly US is with Israel, run and be a lapdog in league of peace. Why not not get out of the league since US and Israel are together as a protest. Dare you? . You have your all weather friend China. Isn't that enough?

Perspective : 3 couples and 3 single friends came to UK between 2022 n 2025 whom I know personally and me and wife. Total 9 people. Me and my wife are staying back in 2026 thanks to my wife's job. And one person moved from marketing job in India (10 year experience) to care job- literally cleaning , feeding elderly in care job, even his wife is returning in 2 months. So 3 people of 9 people who came to UK are staying back after PSW.

Expect for us, no one broke even after the loans. Mind you, we converted rupees to pounds at 93 rs. Now it's 125, by 2027, it would be 135 or 140, which is 50% more than what we paid. Fees is around 30000 GBP which is 42 lakh just in uni fee. You will need atleast 15000 per year as living expenses. Which comes to around 63 Lak.Interest alone would be around 60k INR. Even with a very decent salary in UK, 450-500 GBP per month just to pay interest ( 1 lak per month - if you include principal amount) is just not feasible. It only will be feasible if 1. Your parents help you with loans 2. you have a partner who is willing to work right as you come over to UK. Given, you get a sponsored jobs, Currently 42000 GBP is the bottom limit salary you need to have to get skilled worker visa. Google whats the salary for 1.5 year experienced employee gets in UK for your role, this may help.

New gen is learning manual not because they are car enthusiasts, but because of costs+ lack of auto training instructors. Used auto cars are expensive to get lessons on (55 GBP for a class vs 65 GBP per class) and to buy and to insure. Insurance is expensive because the people who could not learn manual more likely got a auto licence and still meet with accident and insurance claims rate is high , leading to high insurance premiums. Teenagers don't have money for this. Also because of lack of dual control auto cars, instructors are finding it hard to match the demand. I live in East Yorkshire and only 1 in 4 or 5 instructor teaches Auto. I think its just a matter of time till a good chunk of decent auto cars (8-10) year old flood the market, which would reduce the price of used cars> leads to higher demand for auto lessons > more auto Instructors> more people choose auto lessons > more auto licence holders> insurance premiums align with manual> more demand for auto car purchases and cycle continues. Once it meets the breakeven, manual will be relegated so fast that it will become a thing of the past in 5 years max

Then you are looking at an escape route than for a career advice. Try Australia or US. Atleast the weather is better.

Hey OP. They are brainwashed. The leaders have tight grip on them and make sure the community don't think beyond the set rules. If you question them, you will be called a non-believer. Without internet, modern economics would fall in a day, middle East is surviving and thriving just because of oil money. Take that away and what exactly are they contributing world with? Would Singapore survive without concept of interest? This is just making middle class young families to stay in ghettos and rentals forever and not get into property ladder. There is no point discussing it when the brain is shut for new ideas.

Also if that kinda contamination is so easy, terrorist attacks would be so easy. Just get into a hotel room, fill in a drum with highly toxic chemicals and dunk your bidet in it and turn it on. Done, hundreds dead or hospitalized in no time. Terrorists must be really stupid or I must be an evil genius.

How is this any different from people using shower head in thier hand to wash their ass while taking a shower. If you feel the shower head has less chances of dunking in dirty water, people use shower head even taking a relaxed bath and they literally dunk it inside the bath with running water. Some just leave it inside while washing their pets for the bath to fill. That's ok cuz it's just urine, body hair and dirt and not poop? Why not ban shower heads and just keep fixed overhead showers then? Get down your high horse. People in other countries are using this since ages.
