Q: How to get a friend out of his depression of now getting any brides in an indian arranged marriage scenario?

Posting on behalf of a friend... My friend is a 27 year old (average looking mallu) successful software engineer in India working for a multinational company paying over 20 lpa salary. He graduated from a top notch IIT few years back. Currently his parents are looking for brides. Its been almost...

Morning :)

Mithrandir

08:22

@ExtrovertedMainMan Hmmmm... is this question about @JourneymanGeek ...?

Tinkeringbell

Morning :D

dhein

How you all doing? :)

Tinkeringbell

Okayish

Mithrandir

exhausted

dhein

Sounds like you need to talk x)

Tinkeringbell

08:31

Still coughing a lot, but my fever is gone :D

dhein

Huh? you had a fever? poor you :x

Tinkeringbell

@dhein No, I actually need to stay quiet :P

That way I don't cough as much

dhein

@Mithrandir Uh, and wbu? :o

Mithrandir

@dhein was doing race training yesterday and not quite recovered yet

dhein

@Mithrandir racing? :) bike? Or what kind of racing?

@Tinkeringbell you know what I mean ;P

Mithrandir

08:34

@dhein bicycle racing, yeah

dhein

@Mithrandir cool cool. Hobbish? Or you gonna be pro?^^

Mithrandir

I'm training with the pros, but I don't think I'll be entering competitions any time soon

@Tinkeringbell Good Afternoon! How are you now?

Still coughing a lot, but my fever is gone :D

I'm back at work too :)

A J

@Mithrandir There is gonna be a bicycle marathon here. Wanna participate? ;)

@Tinkeringbell Oh. Try taking only warm water for a few days. Coughing will get cured too. :)

@Tinkeringbell Good.

Tinkeringbell

08:42

@AJ Mom got me cough syrup. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work though...

You swallow stuff, it ends up in stomach, not your lungs

Despite what the tv advertisements say

(And I get nauseous from plain warm water. Would tea be okay?)

A J

@Tinkeringbell That sounds bad. Still you can take warm water besides cough syrup.

@Tinkeringbell I can't say about tea though. But you can try boiling water first, let it cool and then take it.

Tinkeringbell

@AJ I guess it won't work then. Just warm water makes me nauseous. I either drink cold water or hot tea ;)

avazula

Hello everyone!

Mithrandir

@AJ i'll pass thanks

A J

@Tinkeringbell It's dry or other one?

Tinkeringbell

08:49

@AJ dry coughs? No, the slimy ones :P

A J

@Tinkeringbell OK. I didn't know the term. :P Anyway, if it is slimy one then ginger or lemon tea would be good.

dhein

@Mithrandir Cool cool, tho :)

@Tinkeringbell maybe you have to breath in the syrup? I mean its cough syrup. I am sure you will cough that way x'D

A J

lol

@avazula bonjour!

JAD

@Tinkeringbell you're supposed to inhale it

dhein

09:06

@JAD The syrup? you sure? I mean I was trying to be sarcastic >.<

Tinkeringbell

@dhein I'm pretty sure JAD wasn't serious ;)

@JAD At least that way I'll be sure to cough!

Journeyman Geek

@Mithrandir I'm older and frustrated not depressed ;p

JAD

@Tinkeringbell yep, you also have the stuff that you take in bigger quantities.

Choke syrup

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell it gets in your bloodstream.

dhein

@JAD Thats what I said xP

@JAD Choke syrup? 0o You mean glue?

JAD

09:23

@dhein sure :P

dhein

In our canteen menu no3 is today "The superbowl hangover big beef burger" :D I love our lunch menus <3

Tinkeringbell

09:47

@JourneymanGeek What gets into my bloodstream? Some herbs and a load of sugar? :P

Journeyman Geek

Yes

Tinkeringbell

Over the counter stuff here doesn't really include any medicine.

Journeyman Geek

I had a really effective herbal tea once.

.... Any y'all can buy weed in specialist coffee shops...

What an odd country ;p

Tinkeringbell

I don't think smoking would help right now :P

I wouldn't call cannabis a herb either :P

Mithrandir

Are cannibals herbs?

Tinkeringbell

09:49

@Mithrandir seasoned cannibals, perhaps?

Mithrandir

Hmm, won't the old ones be all tough to chew and stuff?

Tinkeringbell

Hmm. That sounds more like roots than herbs, indeed

dhein

@Tinkeringbell I think his point is more what a weird country you are living in rather than cannabis being a herb. :P

Tinkeringbell

@dhein Oh, yeah. It's a weird country ;)

A J

looks like Mith is back in the game. :P

Mithrandir

10:02

Only took you 40 minutes to notice... ;P

A J

lol

dhein

What are we all kind today. love it :D

Journeyman Geek

@Tinkeringbell and that you can buy something illegal and not the good flu meds

dhein

@JourneymanGeek well you can't buy something illegal there. :D

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek As far as I know, there aren't really any good 'flu meds'. Unless you're very seriously ill, then you may get some anti-viral meds.

dhein

10:05

Reminds me on a PnP story I once heard of, where the DM had a city set up with a blackmarket, which was tolerated by the local government and was respecting the taxes and sales regulations of that local area. Rather than following the story line, the group was busy to indoctrinate the citizens that this is by definition not a black market then.... at some point the DM was so annoyed by that, that he left the group being arrested x'D

A J

@Noon Congratulations for earning all rep-level privileges on Interpersonal Skills! :D

@Tinkeringbell oh. The paracetamol coctail in hot water stuff helps me a lot

welp, time to call the police on the neighbor again

avazula

@Mithrandir ?? D:

Mithrandir

There's this one neighbor we've had an... issue with for a while. He's threatened to throw rocks at me, he's shot a BB gun at our window, and now he's drilled a hole through our attic wall.

Noon

@Mithrandir Oo Taht must be a difficult situation, lot's of courage to you! <3

Mithrandir

He's an old Russian man, who's... pretty much legally insane.

dhein

@avazula Huh, might be now you say it. I am not an expert ^^

@Mithrandir Than he should be in a place where legally is taken care of insane people >.<

@Mithrandir ah, that also explains why the answers are identical

@avazula You might like Deafies in Drag, theyre two deaf guys that do drag and they do videos about situations that deaf people find themselves in and they're so funny

Good morning people :)

ElizB

it's strangely warm today... the high is 50F which makes me confused cause i'm so used to doing heavy duty winter clothes everyday

Mithrandir

67F here right now...

avazula

@ElizB Sounds interesting! I'm gonna check this

ElizB

14:35

@avazula Yay! they've gotten inspiration for their drag from RuPaul's Drag Race, so you'll like it! and learn about deaf culture some more :)

@Mithrandir wow, nice

I'm used to having it be something like 20 to 30 F

Rainbacon

@JAD Sounds like a timezone bug

JAD

@Rainbacon according to the timestamps there's more than 24 hours between the posts. So that doesn't seem plausible

@Haptometer I think that what WendyG is getting at isn't that you need to clean excessively (like mopping the floor each time you walk on it), but that cleaning needs to happen more often than never. Whenever any of this communal cleaning happened (so, not just your own spill but the routine cleaning that needs to be done periodically to keep a house clean), it sounds like it wasn't you that did it and one of your roommates did it instead. It's a different case if you did such cleaning and it wasn't noticed vs. you not doing the communal cleaning at all. — Upper_Case 24 secs ago

Today's a big day, people! I just created an Area51 site proposal for Neurodiversity. All people with curiosity and/or experience of neurodiversity (autism, OCD, ADH-D, dys- spectrum ...) are welcome to visit and propose questions!

7

ElizB

@avazula Ooh. I am neurodiverse (ADD), and am married to a neurodiverse guy... @El'endiaStarman so yeah i'll check it out.

avazula

@ElizB Please do follow the proposal, so as we get enough people and feedback to launch it one day :D

ElizB

@avazula Will do! :) i'm interested in the context of this, because it's somewhat scientific and somewhat interpersonal-ish

how will this be different from interpersonal skills?

avazula

@ElizB ♥ Thanks girl

ElizB

@avazula You're welcome :) Yay new stuff :D

avazula

16:01

It'll be different because it will be focused on neurodiversity (both theoretical and practical questions), and sadly, autistic-related questions aren't always welcome by the community (many people do not understand the bluntness with which some neurodiverse people express themselves)

Rainbacon

I just followed the proposal!

ElizB

@avazula huh, cool. Bluntness? Deaf culture is all about that, so i wonder if that's why I understand blunt stuff coming from neurodiverse people... hmm.

Rainbacon

It's the first one I've ever done

ElizB

@avazula I was looking up some common misconceptions of autism, do we wanna include basic google-able questions like that or have more specific situation-based questions?

oh, another idea- do we wanna create a chatroom for that site to get people to chat about questions and what is on topic?

avazula

If you have examples of questions, feel free to propose them! I'm most familiar with autism and dyslexia but my knowledge of the other "troubles" remains limited :)

@ElizB I'd like to keep it broad (which is why we'd need to be careful when defining the scope). But I'd surely like to deconstruct the misconceptions that can be found on Google and alike :D

@ElizB Of course!

ElizB

16:06

@avazula Since you proposed it, you go ahead and create it :P

avazula

@ElizB I'm not sure one could create a chat room yet :p

ElizB

@avazula okay... wow, i'm brimming with questions because I don't know a whole lot about it but I know enough from interacting with my hubby and some others

@avazula oh, okay

avazula

@ElizB I like your question proposal!

ElizB

@avazula Cool! Posted another about stimming because that seems to be another common misconception

avazula

@ElizB that's right

Oh, why can't I see it :(

ElizB

16:15

I know @El'endiaStarman does it, and I got him a fidget cube but he can do that with just about anything.... kinda funny to see my reaction sometimes, if he is shaking the object or moving something noisy, often enough, I'll just glance over and he'll look sheepishly at me and say sorry haha

@avazula "new users can only post every three minutes" ... :P

El'endia Starman

Oh yeah, I've been playing with a fingernail clipper lately.

ElizB

just posted

@El'endiaStarman yep... hehe

avazula

@ElizB ugh. Bummer. :p

ElizB

and I can only post 3 more questions

so I need to think twice about just bombing the site with more questions because that's a great topic... hehe

avazula

Yeah, I have a limited number too :p

I think we should be careful about not being too broad though, and I'm afraid that that stimming question may be a bit too broad. Maybe asking about "why it may be dangerous to prevent autistic people from stimming?" may be better? I don't know

I guess we need to find out all together :p

ElizB

16:18

@avazula Yeah, that's what I thought too. hmm, i think i might edit it if i can

Rainbacon

@avazula I actually really liked the stimming question

I could see narrowing it slightly (the current question is kind of asking two different things)

avazula

@Rainbacon I did too. I'm just afraid that it'd may be more of a wiki question, if you know what I mean?

ElizB

@Rainbacon I'm editing it to be more specific like avazula said- why would it be harmful to prevent or punish someone for stimming

there, I feel better about that- what do you think @Rainbacon and @avazula ?

avazula

@ElizB I think it's better too, although that was a great question :)

Q: How to talk with my boss about the lack of hygiene on our workspace?

I'm currently working on a small office with around 14 coworkers. We have a tiny scullery just to make coffe / wash dishes and a bathroom. Most of my coworkers are men and they're developers. I'm starting to feel bothered with the hygiene of these common spaces as I spend a lot of time in there, ...

work-environment coworkers personal-hygiene

ElizB

16:22

@avazula I think we can worry about wiki-type questions when the site gets there but for now it's better to be more specific

@El'endiaStarman what do you think about it? If you like, maybe you can share it with whoever you think might be interested?

avazula

@ElizB I agree :)

ElizB

@avazula yay :)

this makes my brain buzz happily with ideas and such. hard to filter out stuff like that when it's all new and exciting

avazula

@ElizB Arf. Sorry about that :)

ElizB

@avazula no worries haha it happens way too often

it's just funny to watch my brain go all crazy and then my "mom side of the brain" i call it, goes "hey chill out we got other stuff to do" haha

avazula

@ElizB I get you. I never was diagnosed but I think it's likely I have ADD as well (I'm a butterfly!)

ElizB

16:26

@avazula yep, if you get me started on something good luck stopping me :P

avazula

@ElizB haha

ElizB

@El'endiaStarman knows how that works... way too much... oop. :P

El'endia Starman

Mmhmm...

To be fair, your mom is similar.

ElizB

yeeeah and when me and mom start.... yeah, might as well take shoes off and sit down

what i'm struggling with is prioritization... I have six things going at the same time, and it's hard to try and do them all at once because I wanna finish them all by the time the semester ends... heh

or earlier, that's better :P

Noon

I just posted 4 new questions :D

avazula

16:36

:D

ElizB

16:56

Hmm, lunchtime for me :)

avazula

Enjoy!

I understand we're 6 hours apart :p

Mithrandir

@avazula So I just took a look. I'm a little unsure exactly what the scope of this site is; at the moment, it seems like a cross between Psychology & Neuroscience and Interpersonal Skills. Would you mind elaborating a bit more on what niche this fills?

(Oh, BTW, a Psychology & Neuroscience site exists. You may not have known that :p)

avazula

@Mithrandir I knew about it. Anne Daunted indicated that this may partly be a cross between IPS, TWP, Parenting & Psychology/Neuroscience. The goal of this new stack is to be specific to neurodiverse spectrums and "disorders" to assert both theoretical and practical questions regarding those latters.

ElizB

@avazula Cucumber salad with dill and a simple dressing of honey, sushi vinegar, and olive oil, potatoes with oyster and lions mane mushrooms (wild picked mushrooms) and lemon garlic chicken :D

Mithrandir

And you're thinking that this would allow for, let's say, a higher rate of experts on that topic answering questions there than looking for questions on the topic on other sites?

@ElizB Wild picked mushrooms? That seems a little risky...

ElizB

17:05

@Mithrandir no, people picked them and sold them at the farmers market- the company is called Mariaville Mushroom Men

Mithrandir

As long as they're trained professionals, sounds good :P

ElizB

they also inoculate straw and logs with mushroom mycelium and grow it, i said wild picked because they usually grow in the wild, not in a typical farm

i wouldnt go out and pick them i just go to the booth at the farmers market and buy it from them

Mithrandir

yep, sounds good then, enjoy!

El'endia Starman

All mushrooms are edible. Some only once, but still.

ElizB

@Mithrandir thanks :) I've been begging my mom and other siblings to try them they're so much more flavorful than the white mushrooms or baby bellas you get at the store.

@El'endiaStarman Now, now. no suggesting anyone go out there and eat the first mushroom they pick.

Mithrandir

17:10

@El'endiaStarman oy

(I laughed)

Anyway, @avazula, I've just followed the proposal and added an example question. You're now past the minimum activity requirements for the next month or so ;)

Tinkeringbell

Followers active in is fun to see there ;) 100% Interpersonal Skills :P

Noon

Hey people, when you read the name Ælis, do you think it's a male, female or neutral name?

ElizB

I think it's neutral

Tinkeringbell

@Noon Is that a person's name? I thought it was some kind of conlang.

JAD

@Noon Guess that that depends on culture quite a bit

Noon

17:27

@Tinkeringbell I have no idea what a "conlang" is but it's an invented name. I'm searching a neutral name so that people won't assume the gender of the person talking

Tinkeringbell

@Noon conlang = constructed language. A language someone created, like Tolkien's Elvish

ElizB

I have a friend named connor, she's a girl, but the name made me think she was a guy

Tinkeringbell

There's a whole SE site about that, IIRC.

Rainbacon

@Noon Why not pick a gender neutral name?

Noon

@JAD Yeah, name often does. But let's say that it's for the SE network. What would you think?

Tinkeringbell

17:29

@Noon I think it may be neutral enough.

But don't trust me ;)

Noon

@Tinkeringbell Well, you wasn't far then since the name is, indeed, created ^^

@Tinkeringbell Seriously? Oo

Tinkeringbell

You might find some nice names there :P

El'endia Starman

My own name ("El'endia") is itself constructed, although the -a suffix has in the past lead people to assume I'm female.

Noon

@Rainbacon Because I don't know any that I like

@Tinkeringbell That sounds great, thanks!

Tinkeringbell

@El'endiaStarman The 'starman' fixes that for me :P

Noon

17:35

@El'endiaStarman I was one of those people ^^' And I thought @ElizB was a man because of the profil picture x)

Mithrandir

Just swap 'em for a bit.

ElizB

@Noon huh, interesting. I'm not that creative with my username, it's not that different from my real name, heh. El'endia's is wayyyy different than his real name.

Mithrandir

"Tom"

@Noon "Bailey"

"Alex". "Sam". "Avery". "Taylor". "Harley". "Riley". "Finch". "Perry".

Noon

@Mithrandir Tom is also a woman name? Oo

Mithrandir

@Noon No, I was saying that was @El'endiaStarman's real name

Alex

17:43

@Mithrandir I have been mentioned.

Mithrandir

@Alex Hi Perry

Alex

I don't see that listed.

Mithrandir

How's it going, Finch?

Noon

@Mithrandir Oh right, you got me confuse for a bit x) (not that there is anything wrong with a woman named Tom)

El'endia Starman

@Noon Bonus points if they're a tomboy.

2

ElizB

17:47

Tom might be short for tomasina, one of my friends has that name

Noon

@Mithrandir Also, thanks for the name ideas :)

Mithrandir

I like "Aiden".

Noon

@ElizB Is it an american name? I have never heard of it

El'endia Starman

I haven't heard of "Tomasina" either. Probably not English.

In fact, I'll bet it's Japanese.

Noon

@Mithrandir If a name start with "A" I will probably like it. Bonus point if there is an "m" or "l" in it :D

Alex

17:49

Ami.

ElizB

@Noon Yeah, i don't know the origin of the name

Noon

@Alex Is it a name? Because it means "friend" in French ^^

Alex

@Noon It's a Hebrew name.

Probably short for Amiel.

It also is a regular Hebrew word meaning "my nation".

Mithrandir

Amech... Ami...

Alex

I don't know anyone named Amech though.

Noon

17:55

@Alex I like this name. It checks all the things that I like in a name :D

ElizB

Amech, Amiel, and Ami all roll off the tongue quite nicely :) Especially Amiel and Ami

now, does the pronouncation count? in Ami- i could say ayymee or Ahhmee

Mithrandir

@Alex I don't know anyone named "your nation" either

Alex

@Noon It's also gender-neutral, apparently:

Amiel Daemion

Amiel Muki Daemion (born 13 August 1979 in New York City, United States), also known as just Amiel, is an American-Australian pop singer, songwriter and actress. She moved to Australia with her family at the age of two and starred in films in the 1990s, including The Silver Brumby, which also starred Russell Crowe and Caroline Goodall. Her music career shot to fame in 1999 when she teamed up with producer Josh G. Abrahams (as Puretone) for the song "Addicted to Bass" which became a top twenty hit in Australia, this led to Daemion releasing studio albums such as Audio Out in 2003 and These Ties...

Mithrandir

@ElizB second

IPS Comment Bot

Very well put on the first sentence about asking about the cleaning service. The second sentence might need a little refining for, it sounds a tad bit passive aggressive. Maybe that same sentiment, but using different words like "the cleaning service does not come here frequent enough for them to be able to handle what we leave behind for them, maybe we should help them out by reducing their workload" or something. Keep the blame away from the coworkers at all cost. Very good answer besides. — Crazy Cucumber 47 secs ago

@Mithrandir Yes, it can sometimes get weird when you try to explain what your Hebrew name means...

Pronouncing my name trips people up, apparently.

@Alex Nice! I might turn it into Amæl, but I definitively like it

El'endia Starman

Mith-rand-ir is hard to pronounce? Huh.

Now, Mit'hraw'nrudo, I can understand...

Alex

18:00

@Mithrandir What's so hard about Mith|ran|dir?

Mithrandir

It's got three syllables. Israelis tend to emphasize the first. Americans tend to totally mangle the name if they read it without hearing it, and then tend to emphasize the middle. The proper way is emphasizing the last one.

Alex

@Noon nameberry.com/babyname/Amael

@Mithrandir Most Hebrew words have the emphasis on the last syllable, though.

ElizB

i wish i brought my own headphones :( I have some here to drown out the chatter around me, while I work, but they're like these:

totally made for hearing ears. Not cochlear implants.

Noon

@Alex Thanks for the link. I will need more research then I guess (I hope Amælis isn't a gendered name)

@ElizB How is that?

ElizB

@Noon just the shape and the way they're supposed to sit on the ear. I have cochlear implants that sit on my ear so I need headphones to go over the CIs not the actual ear canal because y'know the ear canal is just ... broken :P

Noon

18:13

@ElizB Oh, right, make sense x)

Can't you request headphone taht work for you?

ElizB

ugh, look at it sideways lol so see my implants and how the headphones sit on top?

thats how i hear

@Noon Nope, these are the only ones available... it's an unpaid internship

Noon

@ElizB Ouch, this doesn't seem really comfortable :x

ElizB

@Noon nooope lol but it makes people shush up

Noon

@ElizB Oh yeah, I guess that, sine it's unpaid, they won't buy you anything :/

ElizB

@Noon yup that's the case unfortunately. :/

I will remember on Friday though.

The sound isn't even that great too

I am definitely remembering on friday

Noon

18:24

@ElizB Good luck for the rest of your day. And yeah, I hope you won't forget to take it on Friday :)

El'endia Starman

<-- smug owner of a ComPilot that means I don't need to worry about headphones.

ElizB

@Noon thanks and the memory of how awful these are are will help me remember

@El'endiaStarman I know where you sleep..... -_- you smug *** rubbing that in my face. Just have to pay a few thousand for an upgrade for my cochlear implants ...

Noon

@ElizB x)

ElizB

a compilot with advanced bionics implants (the company) is basically wireless streaming of music into his implants. -_- waahh i want one

El'endia Starman

Y'know, I wonder how hard it is to set up a loop of wire around the apartment for that sort of thing...
