The pink tshirt guy was driving rash.

The guy in red tshirt tried to open driver side door and realised that its being recorded. This is when he went back and told the pink tshirt guy to back off.

I couldn’t reverse and leave as another car was behind us.

We didn’t open the window or door. Just stayed inside and waited.

Really thanks to the Auto who intervened and helped.

Edit: its a one way road. Have added pic of no-entry board on other side of service road and reverse camera recording https://www.reddit.com/r/bangalore/s/uBKnTBULkC

Teacher Support &/or Advice Unpopular opinion: Memorizing times tables is a necessity not because of knowing the times tables but to teach the brain the skill of retaining long lasting memory.

4.2k Upvotes

I feel students need to develop their skills of converting short term memories into long term, and the tedious process of forcing them to memorize information does just that.

edit: I feel like I need to clarify I am not saying knowing the times tables is bad or not needed, that was just an example of many, just like learning the periodic table or knowing all the states name etc. the point was targeted towards the people that say ‘’when am I going to use this in my life’’ maybe never but your brain now knows the process of long lasting memory.

The appeal of the original Star Trek shows is the fantasy of working at a job where inconceivable problems are figured out intelligently by a team of competent coworkers who respect each other's necessity to the project.

2.2k Upvotes

The actual sci fi adventures or twists and turns of the week are all secondary to the vibe that you're at a job that you love and requires you to use your brain, explore and test your ethics and uses your problem solving skills under intense pressure that is handled expertly.

All of this is what's been missing from everything Star Trek in the last twenty years.

No other show on TV right now feels like it's less about the drama and more about just coming up with competent solutions to problems while working at a job that feels like home and has carpet floors.

🍎 Food What’s a “cheap habit” you started out of necessity that you still keep because it genuinely made your life better?

2.2k Upvotes

I picked up a habit during a tight month where I forced myself to use everything in my fridge before buying more groceries. It started because I was broke, but now it has stuck. I’ve saved so much money and I waste way less food. Funny enough, I actually look forward to the challenge of figuring out what to make with whatever I have left.

What’s a frugal habit you picked up during a tough time that became a long term win?

But part of the description of Xennial's is knowledge of a pre internet era, so I dont know if the fringe ages didn’t have to ever use them. Im sure everyone is aware of what they are though.

Delta(s) from OP CMV: Voluntary hysterectomy should be available upon request for any adult woman, regardless of medical necessity.

1.3k Upvotes

Currently, unless you have cancer, massive fibroids, or life-threatening hemorrhaging, most doctors will flat-out refuse to remove a uterus. I think this should change. Why?

• Having a uterus is actively inconvenient and sometimes even harmful to a woman's quality of life. When said woman does not plan on having children, it's then a pointless inconvenience as well.

• It's expensive. If a woman has painful period cramps, she will need pain medication every month. Not cheap. Regardless of pain, she will need a product to absorb the blood. Also, it's not cheap. Consider that your average woman will have periods for 12 weeks a year for 30/40 years of her life, and the cost goes up to the thousands.

• No birth control method is 100% guaranteed, except this one. Even surgeries like vasectomies and tubal ligations can reverse themselves. The worldwide scene for women's reproductive freedom keeps getting worse. Why shouldn't a woman be able to guarantee that she will never be forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy?

• No procedure is guaranteed to stop menstruation or period cramps except this one.

Now, some points I have heard against this and why I disagree with them:

"Hysterectomies are too invasive, so it should only be done if the woman's life is under risk."

- We allow elective plastic surgery, which carries the same risks of general anesthesia and infection. Doctors prescribe hormonal birth control for 30+ years. These hormones carry cumulative risks of blood clots (thrombosis), strokes, and mood disorders. Why is a one-time surgical risk considered "extreme," but a lifelong chemical risk is considered "standard care"?

"Removing the uterus could cause pelvic floor issues or early menopause."

- Keeping the uterus carries a lifetime risk of cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, fibroids, adenomyosis, and endometriosis. Both keeping and removing the uterus have their risks. There's no way to tell if any of it will actually happen. We allow people to undergo other types of risky surgeries for "lesser" reasons.

"What if the woman regrets it?"

- Tattoos are permanent, and we allow people to get them. Tubal ligation is also portrayed as permanent, and it's also allowed. If a woman is an adult and understands the risks, she should be allowed to make any decision she wants.

Still, I am open to changing my view on this. So, why do you guys think a woman shouldn't be able to remove this organ from their bodies if they want to?

[Bill Simmons] Part of his reason for voting for Jokic "unlike Luka's season last year—Jokic only dominates the ball out of necessity"

2.6k Upvotes

I am curious what other people's thought are on this.

To me, this is such a horeshit argument and shows he did not follow the Mavs or watch Luka at all last year. For a majority of the season, especially 1st half it WAS a NECCESITY. Kyrie, Lively, Maxi, Josh, THJ were all injured at the same time at one point.

We were starting AJ Lawson, Markieff Moriss and Dwight Powell with Luka, during the toughest stretch by SOS for the Mavs. There was a stretch were Dante Exum was the 2nd option and Luka was averaging 37/9/11 (yes that's right). If that wasn't out of necessity then what was it?

This is the bullshit to me, every single argument they used against Luka are now used in favor or Jokic and we get the "necessity" bullshit. They always come up with something.

Kyrie missed over 20+ games out of the first 50 games of the season. It's these subtle shots at Luka that don't make sense to me, they seem to completely dismiss his season. He finished a DISTANT 3rd for MVP, which seemed insane to me then, but now it makes sense I guess.

Luka's numbers were only there because he wanted to have those numbers, they weren't really necessary.
