EDIT 2: Once again, thank you for the feedback. Some observations:

1. Not a single person noticed that I am a tenure track professor at a public research university. That hurt, but it shows the shallowness.

1. In spite of women (majority, not all) claiming that they want a dependable, committed partner majority of the comments were geared towards attractiveness and the mythical “spark”.

Neighbor so old yet so clueless. We are always being first judged by looks. I for example often give people the impression I am easily approached party boy. Something I ain't. And being an Indian working at university is kinda stereotypical. Women claim many thing so things to look good in eyes of society but wanting something else that won't make them sound noble and pure.

It looks like you're in Utah. This is your whole problem. I'm sorry but even if you address the other suggestions here, you are incompatible with 90% of the population.

That is such a giga cope. Reality he will do even worse in comifornia or any democratic state because he will lose his novelty and bipocs foids in those states are giga racist. Like for example homo wants a white girls but his Indian foid counterpart wants a white guy and she has more success than the Indian guy. So most bipocs foids in U.S. wants a white guy. So reality is white girls are often least racist than other foids. You see white girls dating indian guys more than any other race yet media paint them as racist

OP, I am a female academic in a conservative religious state from a different ethnic minority background. Given your specific set of circumstances, I am curious: Are you looking to date a particular type of woman - Desi or non-Desi, Hindu, Muslim, or Christian, an academic, a woman of a certain educational background, etc.? Or are you happy to date anyone, as long as your personality matches with theirs?

I ask because among my Desi friends, referral networks are strong and the potential for setups common, even across the South Asian-born and American-born divide. But perhaps you are looking to date on the "open market" instead?

Additionally, are you in a college town or a regular city? I teach in a very small town, and even in college towns, the population often is missing that 25-35 band of young people.

You definitely bring a lot to the table but you might want to consider being clearer in your dating search what kind of woman you are looking for and where you might be more likely to find her.

Jfl lol how they try to send him to Indian girl,

Your friends are right. Your values and attitude are definitely gonna be a big mismatch here, at least with educated, liberal types. They'd be a better match with religious women, but being foreign + not the same religion is the barrier there.

Have you considered an arranged or semi-arranged marriage? That's how my coworkers who fit your profile got married.

The fun part is that the value part came out just because he is Indian

Yep, I see that and think tradwife. Those are always the guys "correcting" you on your own life and who talk to you like you're a toddler.

He didn't mention trad wife in any comment it's just she sees Indian. Some of his replies:

I hate that, I suffered that throughout my life, I wasn't allowed to have control over my life and I would never subject anyone to that. I am sorry it came across like that. I like collaboration and shared goals, how do I convey that?

Thank you, I want to date on the open market so as to say. I do not have any religious preferences but I would prefer at least some college experience.

And how can girls learn about his value if the absolutely don't interact with him ? He gets zero matches and all that trad shit makes no sense when he is university professor giving mostly lectures to foids ? Ah yeah he is professor surrounded by many girls, non flirts with him, it's beyond over.

Thank you for being truthful, I appreciate it very highly. I am not looking for a traditional woman, someone with family oriented values. I prefer someone who has their own career and want to work towards a shared goal.

So neighbor will be attacked for being Indian inkwell and getting hard stereotyped. It would make sense for him to just do arraignment marriage but his brain is to lib and he rather die than accept the world

SHIFT UP's action game Stellar Blade is a day away from release and there's already been some controversy that isn't sexual for a change, as Sony says it will remove in-game artwork that shows ‘hard R' due to unintentional racism.

In Stellar Blade, there's an ‘R Shop' referencing the information broker Roxanne. There's also ‘Hard' graffiti that can be found in numerous parts of the game. However, there's one instance in Stellar Blade where the graffiti and R Shop are shown next to each other, showing what appears to reference a racist slur, which Sony claims was “unintentional.”

Sony provided a statement on the matter:

“The placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch.”

When asked if there are any plans to remove the art from the physical games as well, a PlayStation representative said that it “Should be removed for all users in the Day 1 update.”

The patch has since gone live and the ‘Hard R' artwork has since been changed to say ‘Crime' instead:

Seethe in the comments:

All of you fricking idiots were warned! But no “It's going to be uncensored”, “It's a based game guys!” Bunch of stupid fricking weebs, weebs are fricking laughing stock.

If you're a weeb, then you're calling yourself a subhuman who has no spine whatsoever.

Where's the lie?

You cope too much cute twink. KEEP YOURSELF SAFE you cuck

Ibought two copies because i have tons of money to spend unlike you, you born poor and will die as poor lmfao enjoy working 7$/hr at fast food

America is a mistake.

The corrupt West deserves to be nuked and obliterated completely.

Eastoids still bussyblasted at a lil' bit of nuke correction.

And the idots were attacking you for stating the truth. This is why weebs are cucks. They live in their own little world like a filthy basement dweller.

!nonchuds I will remind you all that the reason why 4chan stays alive is because Hiro gets paid by research groups who want to study the link between anime and rightoid extremism.

Rightoids are beyond parody

And here's another article whining about Stellar Blade.

It's the usual over virtual cleavage so not gonna' bother with a write up.

While we're talking about Shift Up let me bring up their now dead gacha game Destiny Child. I really liked the OST the game had

Thanks to the libtard municipal government policy decriminalizing homelessness and defunding police in the past year, it has become necessary to resurrect this project by rigging up a new broadcast unit for the first time since 2021, to blast directly at a new homeless encampment on the other side of the property boundary.

I learned a lot from the original version of this project, so the new broadcast unit will be faster to set up since I have a refined design. I think I will start tomorrow and try to have the broadcast going by the end of the day. Also I have learned how to do some basic audio editing since 2021, so now I can add boost the volume/equalizer on music tracks that I previously would have excluded due to having too many quiet parts.

I will try to keep the new playlist relatively meme-y, but I cannot risk including any music of the 1933-1945 and 1861-1865 persuasion. During the original version of this project, I was able to shrug off most of the questions about that type of music from the local Karens, but it's more risky these days with moral busybodies and whiners.

But I feel confident in getting away with subversive music, especially if it's not in German or English.

Even in my father's village which is also quiet poor the houses at least have colour. Imagine showing this literal slum off with pride and wtf are those lanes if you're living in villages also like in your dalli slum then wtf is the point.

We can live freely in individual houses but we choose to live together in hovels I seriously don't get this pattern of houses in a village at all !bharatiya is this what villages in your states look like? Bengali villages typically were a home surrounded by some kitchen garden land and a pond. Because of safety reasons it never was homesteads in the middle of farm land but why would you live like this where land is dirt cheap?

>Then stay there

>There's no money here

>Even Jaipur's sewage canal is better than this

Ooga boogas kanging now

So true

>All the Biharis are in Delhi of course Bihar will be clean

Are all chuds mentally ill?

Reminder that economics is not a real science and econ professors deserve it.

I will soon be finishing my undergraduate degree. My university has requested my "preferred name" to display on the diploma. I think it would be funny to submit "[my name], King of the Rats". I also intend to apply to law school within the next year. I have 2 questions:

Are diplomas submitted in law/graduate school applications, or just records containing GPA and the like?

If yes, is it a real concern that doing this might hurt my prospects? I personally feel it is a harmless bit of self expression, but I could see the possibility that a recruiter considers it a sign that I'm not "serious".

What could go wrong

Bombay Shaving Company does a full page ad for Prachi, The UP board topper, who was being trolled for facial hair.

Haven’t seen something this desperate.

Context: Grade 10 schoolgirl scored the highest marks in the state-wide annual school exams. She went viral because she's very hairy and her parents and her don't seem to care about her appearance. They should have at least given her a shave/wax to make her presentable before publishing her photo or appearing on TV. Why even print the photo or appear in an interview if you only wanted people to celebrate her achievement? The problem is Indian parents and boomers don't believe taking care of your appearance and health is important.

https://twitter.com/ians_india/status/1781640786641088524

Incels have been making fun of her and femcels have been defending her:

No way that's a girl..no way..

Atiq Ahmad

Atiq Ahmad was a notorious gangster that was recently killed.

Those haters mocking her probably couldn't even score as high as she did,lol !

Queen Prachi Nigam 👑

Another copium post. Tbh it comes of as sarcasm. The caption says "laugh all you want but some days later you will be my driver and your bank balance will laugh at you". The user speaks as if she's landed on Mars. Bruh, she still has to complete her Grade 12 exams, not to mention heaps of other exams that land you a government job or enrolment in university.

This is UP board topper Prachi Nigam and she scored 98.5%. She should focus on grooming herself as well

Guy makes a good point but could have worded it more politely. Foids and simps seethe in replies.

The topper herself/himself responds to the trolls:

"Trollers can live with their mindset, I am happy that my success is now my identity......what will ultimately matter are my marks and not the hair on my face": https://www.siasat.com/up-topper-prachi-nigam-shuts-up-trollers-over-her-facial-hair-3014157/

===================================

Now, a shaving company does a full front-page ad on her on India's most read newspaper (A.I.R. stands for All India Rank (exams)):

Their intentions may have been good, but it feels like they're making fun of her lol

Poor girl , hope she and her parents learn to care about her physical appearance.

Escape From Tarkov is an extraction shooter developed by Russian studio BattleState Games (BSG). It's somehow been in "beta" for 8 years. Players enter a game, find loot or kill players/AI and take their loot, then if they can exit the map they keep the loot.

The game has a weird monetisation model. The developers promised no microtransactions, no pay 2 win, the usual stuff that makes gaymers smile. Instead the base edition is $50, going all the way up to the Edge of Darkness edition at something like $150. What do you get for that? Basically extra space to store items between games and a season pass for all future DLC.

A few months ago BSG stopped selling Edge of Darkness and suggested they'd offer the features to other players as microtransactions instead. G*mers were less than pleased, but it all blew over in a few weeks.

Arena

Meanwhile, BSG released a seperate standalone game called Arena, which is basically a Team Deathmatch mode for Tarkov aimed at being an esport. Like most "esports ready" slop it flopped, probably because Tarkov doesn't do balance. There are good guns and shit guns, it's ultra realistic. Guy with the better gun and better bullets always wins.

So, 8 years after initial release BSG dump their money into a new, failed game. It's given out for free to Edge of Darkness owners as a "DLC" but still fails. People suspect that this might mean that BSG is running out of money.

PvE

Perhaps the biggest thing the players want is a non-PVP mode. A big part of this is because the game is hard and most players suck, but to be fair Tarkov also has a massive cheater problem.

I mean massive btw, cheaters can see every item in each game. If you enter a raid carrying good gear, the 3-5 cheaters in each map will immediately charge you down for it without fail. BSG supposedly bans these players but does little to stop it, probably because most cheaters sell rare items for real world cash and use the profits to buy a new copy every week. That said, it's been worse in the past. There were times when cheaters could just teleport all the loot in the game straight to them. Fun.

So naturally, players really want to get away from the cheating and play offline. BSG insists it's not possible, although somehow modders were able to reverse-engineer things and create their own Single Player Tarkov (SPT) mod. Someone is lying there, I can't tell who.

Unheard Edition

This week BSG announced a new edition of Escape from Tarkov - Unheard Edition. In this you get all the Edge of Darkness features plus a special knife, woo.

Just kidding, alongside the knife you also get a character with bigger pockets to carry more stuff in game, extra gear and a bunch of other utilities. Naturally gaymers are mad about these more blatant Pay 2 Win features. It's not too bad though, right?

To sweeten the deal these paypigs also get access to a new coop pve mode. Yay! The devs insist that this isn't DLC, but a unique game mode. Edge of Darkness players don't get it.

Oh, and they get a special item which makes the AI not shoot at them.

The best part? The new edition costs

$250

Cue rage.

Drama

The Reddit jannies open the flood gates and promise to be less neurodivergent than usual. Just don't use naughty words.

The devs have been caught repeatedly editing the website to remove promises they just broke. At this point you can just look at /r/escapefromtarkov and see a dozen threads full of seethe.

Highlights:

Big seethe thread

Lawsuits incoming

The devs give in and offer Edge of Darkness owners a 6 month trial of PvE mode. Redditors even madder.

The lead developer gives an interview where he shits on all the complainers, apparently "True Believers" will buy the new version.

Oh, and you know how Edge of Darkness players got a "season pass" for DLC?

"No dlc planned"

This is ongoing. Will BSG give in or let it all blow over? Only time will tell.

Update

BSG studio head doubles down again. PvE for Edge of Darkness will come later, for now you're paying for a preview before full release. They're also going to offer a 50% discount on upgrades for top tier paypigs. Oh, and if you already paid full price you can have a second game key for the shit-tier edition, but you're not allowed to sell that.

Redditors are still mad
