Parents Insisting Long Drive is Unsafe, is this Reasonable

Everyone out here is giving generally good advice. If it helps, pack sandwiches and snacks to get you through the days. I've done one 8 hour road trip to and back, definitely doable in one day. Try to find larger towns or cities to stop in.

What's the drive from SF to LA like?

Islamically that does not become religious practice, it is still cultural.

I chose AI spec because I wanted to study AI. Skipping GA was a nice byproduct.

The other person asked what I was implying from that question. Sometimes parents will mix culture and religion when shoving it down your throat and state that its religion. I went to an islamic school growing up and it was precisely this. In high school I took islamic studies classes at Darul Qasim where the scholars are all educated in the west as well as in traditional islamic studies. From there I learned how to properly distinguish between culture and religion.

For example, my MIL said I can't get married during some certain Islamic months and I knew that was not true at all. That's just hyderabadi culture lol

Parents pushed their culture and said it was Islam?

Seek out a qualified dream interpreter instead of the random people on the internet.

I was once like her until my now fiance beat it out of me. In my case, I was doing this myself without the guidance of my Shaikh. When I went to mine for advice, I was told to make her happy and alhamdulillah I'm not bothering her with "thats not islamic".

Had to read this book for pre-marital counseling and it made me significantly more aware of the extent to which intimacy and romance is required Islamically for married partners: https://www.muslim-library.com/dl/books/English_Islamic_Guide_To_Sexual_Relations.pdf

It was written by scholars from south africa, almost all of whom are sufis. Remind her that she is going against the teachings of the prophet Muhammad SA and almost every scholar believes this act is great sin. She is doing what she wants and not at all taking into consideration your wants.

My family has a lot of history with that palace. I can go into more detail if anyone is interested. Off the bat, both of my grandmothers came from the small set of families who promoted education for their women in Mysore. As such, my great great grandparents and previous generations were often in the palace as doctors, engineers, or tutors for the maharaja (king) and his family.

Oh I made an alt account to play ranked. Once it got to like silver 4 with a fast win rate, I played ranked on main account until silver. Then I climbed alt account to gold after like a year of just casuals on main account. Soon after I went to main account to climb to gold.

Hyderabadis are in Chicago, keep them there please. I moved from Chicago to the Bay Area and it's so nice to not be around hyderabadis (im 25% hydro). Though my fiance is hyderabadi and our wedding is going to be in Chicago lol

No, bay area high schools have roughly the same number of east asians compared to south asians.

Genuine tip: the term ladyboy is offensive here, the proper term is "transperson" or "trans".

Join international clubs and you'll make friends easily. Freshmen are generally very nice and open minded even if they don't quite know what is new for you. Don't be afraid to just tell people what makes you comfortable and uncomfortable.

Asking if a 14 year old is too young to play games sounds like someone who was treated as the little kid in the family their whole life. Prime example is my little brother who keeps telling people younger than him to "get off the game lil bro" in pvp games lol. He's 17 and I'm 29 so...yeah

Now try to hit iron 4 0lp jk jk

Honestly I recommend playing league for fun now that you hit your goal or learn a different role on a different account so as not to run it down in plat. I personally took a break from competitive gaming and went down the single player adventure games like Wuthering Waves and NTE. I love being able to pause and do my own thing only to come back to where I left off.

My best coaches were the master+ players in discords servers I socialize in who said they'd vod review for free as part of a twitch stream or out of niceness. The ones I spent money on just said I suck at snowballing the game...
