  • As someone who actually lives here.

    Good things include: nice food, diverse places to travel to, socialist programmes to support poor people so they don’t die of hunger, simple lifestyle, fast internet connection, okayish job market.

    Bad things: a huge population means lots of criminals as well, politicians here loot the poor, the cities are fucked with lots of people, little space to hangout, public transport sucks, culturally regressive society in regards to individual, women and trans rights, people are becoming more violent, Hindu vs Muslim bullshit rather than focus on making things better.

    I rate 2.7/5.






  • I agree but this is very location dependent. I live in India and an hour of therapy session costs around 15$(average bill if two people eat at a normal restaurant to put things into perspective).

    If you can’t afford that, don’t worry as many not for profit organisations exist which will help you with free therapy. But this comes at the cost of therapists who themselves are paid like shit. But none of this applies to my friends because their job is ready to pay(your boss can’t find out you go to therapy btw) in case they want therapy but they still are hesitant. It’s more to do with how people will perceive you if they hear you’re going to therapy.


  • Most of my friends who have tried therapy just leave after a session or two and claim their problems have gone away, dodge further sessions and never actually gave it a real try. Then a week later they will go through the same issues again. It sucks to see them this way… I’ve tried to help them to go to therapy consistently but very few actually do.

    You can’t solve 20 years worth of emotional issues in a few sessions… it takes years of therapy to actually get better. Not to mention societal stigma against going to therapy makes it even harder.

    Learning JavaScript for the frontend is an absolute must! Learn basics of modern js and then start learning c# or java for backend. These languages are great for starting out, have a big community of tools and people which will help you immensely and not to mention tons of job opportunities.

    After that you can pick up some fe library like vue.js (personally i think it’s the best most intuitive. Saying that as a react dev).

    Start building out as you learn tho. Don’t wait to complete learning. A simple note taking app with a good FE and a backend with features like auth and a sql db to store data will give you much more learning than tutorials.


  • Wow. I feel the same. For me school was always a place of competition. There was just studying and rarely did we get the time to play together with classmates. It was full of fucking idiot teachers who lacked basic humanity and would start beating you up if you failed to solve the questions they asked or make you kneel down for 40+ minutes on the floor. So yeah school was nothing to long for. Btw this was in India.
