Yes honey, I’m almost there.

What an absolutely braindead comment.

Now I fully agree that marital rape should definitely have the same repercussions as rape. However, the summary posted made me think initially that there was no protection for women against domestic violence in India at all.

After some googling, I found some more context

“It is submitted that the act colloquially referred to as ‘marital rape’ ought to be illegal and criminalised. The Central Government asserts that a woman’s consent is not obliterated by marriage, and its violation should result in penal consequences. However, the consequences of such violations within marriage differ from those outside it. Parliament has provided different remedies, including criminal law provisions, to protect consent within marriage. Sections 354, 354A, 354B, 498A IPC, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, ensure serious penal consequences for such violations,”

Tl;dr marital rape is illegal and can be prosecuted. But somehow the court thinks that the act of marriage changes the situation.

Loudermilk had an episode on this.

In my field of research, there seems to be a recent push for artifact evaluation. It’s a separate process which is also optional but you get to brag about the fact that you get badges if your experiment results were replicated.

There’s also some push back against this since it’s additional work, but I think it’s a step in the right direction.

Oh we know. We just don’t care.

If your first response to a valid point is to attack the other person, then you’re worse than anything inbreeding might produce.

My roommate was cooking at the time, so yes.

“Sometimes my genius, it’s almost frightening”

Wait, I thought this was an onion article

I moved from India to America 5 years ago and I’ve picked up an American accent now. When I was in India, I frequently saw Indians correcting the pronunciation of other people when they tried speaking Indian languages.

So if that’s acceptable, why is it not okay for someone to try and correct their pronunciation of English? (Ofc there are multiple native English speaking countries, but you get my point)

Put it another way, I don’t speak hindi and I assume there might be accents in Hindi. So if I was taught Hindi by someone who had a particular accent, I would probably adopt the same accent. Does that mean that I’m faking this accent? Or is it just a matter of what we’re taught ?

You don’t really say why you don’t want your close ones to realize that you’re picking up an American accent. Maybe it’s just fear about being ridiculed?

If you’re looking for justification for changing your accent, there’s definitely arguments that can support you. But the important thing is for you to understand that you can do whatever makes you happy. And if your friends are any good, they’ll understand that.

That’s probably a bad idea if you’re not concerned about security updates?

I don’t remember where I originally heard this from, but the Serenity Prayer has helped me get through some tough times

“Oh God, give us courage to change what must be altered, serenity to accept what can not be helped, and insight to know the one from the other”

I know it begins with “God”, but I found it applicable to my life without requesting anything from God.
