I’m in my 20s, 5’10 and 125 lbs. Not the strongest below my age group for sure, but I can bench comfortably 100 lbs, squat and deadlift 135 lbs. In terms of dumbbells i can curl 15, but prefer 13. So pretty lanky, but I find the strictness of western weights boring. I was thinking of getting a wooden gada, not sure if I should go with 4 or 6 kg. I was thinking abt 8, but I’m pretty sure I would crack my head and break my back.

Always in Jainism, some monks went astray, whether in the 4th or 5th era. When Bhagwan isn't here some Maharaj Sahebs go astray. How should Shravak and Shravika look out for our own well being along with that of Jainism?

Some Digambar and Shwetambar monks have gone astray; I think we can all agree to that.

I know these two girl who want to take Diksha and the Sadhvis are not leaving them alone. The conventional thought is that if you are sincere then you can for a time live without me and then see if you are truly ready or even go talk to other Maharaj Sahebs if you would rather join that Gaccha or Guru. So some are trying to grow their lineages very fast, when in reality you should make sure. The trend of taking Diksha really fast is bad.

Along with that how can Jains pick their Gurus wisely? Some Gurus are very pushy or seperated from Jain Dharma. Saw this video of these Murtipujak Mahra Sahebs playing along with a Shiv Bhakti, which was strange. Some Gurus get into fights, both Sadhus and Sadhvis.

Most Maharaj Sahebs are true Jains, but some are blatantly going against Jain Dharma. Some give their followers short cuts, other do mithyatva, some are to pushy.

I think a big problem also is that Gacchapadis should think abt combing a lot of these Gacchas, because there are far to many compared to the amount of Jains. Along with the nonsense of 2-Titthis, doing Yatra during monsoon or not, etc.

If I have hurt anybody, Michhami Dukkadam and Jai Jinendra. May Jain Dharma and the Chaturvedhi Sangh forever live on!

Not justifying the use of the word by any race, but it seems hypocritical that a word is exclusionary to one race. Historically, the Brits used to call Indians the n-word, too. At first, we were thought of as a nation with immense wealth, but soon after, we were seen as colleagues of those of African origin, in terms of being beneath white people. As a result, Brits used to call Indians the n word just like they did with ppl of African origin.

Is it hypocritical for people not to recognize the history of the word and those who were subject to the insults? If we grant one group a pass to use it, shouldn't all those affected by the word be given the same right?

I'm an Indian American. Many SA/Desi/Indian/Pak/Bangla/SL boys use it, so I am asking??

I saw something on Insta abt telling Brown Men not to say it, then this topic came to mind.

Uber close to being a perfect watch. Perfect in size, WR, and movement, but seems confusing as to why Tissot wouldn't lume the pip of all things. Also, the bezel sucks to read, maybe they were going for a fashion diver??

I don’t want to mess up cutting my delugs butterfly clasp fkm strap. So far I have cut the rubber equally on both ends, so the fit is almost perfect however when I tilt my wrist to the 12 the watch falls that way a little ever so slightly. I want it to stay in place in the middle near the 6, so do I cut by 6 or the 12?

In the state of Illinois essentially adults with mental health issues are hard to control, there is no easy way to get them admitted or make them take their meds. The system is basically saying let them break and until they get arrested we will let them rot.

There’s Luna and Garmin Cirqa, I just want to know the feature list coming with Luna as compared to a Fitbit Air and Whoop.

I am a rising senior heading into a Corpdev/Stratfin Internship, where I was loaned out to a team at a T-25 F500. Signed a while back, passed my Background check, drug tests, and signed a short-term lease for the summer. Just woke up to find out the internship had been rescinded. What should I do, also feeling a bit nervous since I will be a senior and at this point will likely not be able to find another internship? What I can tell you is that my team has gotten leaner due to some layoffs.

You should hate both, not one and not the other. It’s okay to be normal. The odyssey wrongly casted characters bc Nolan is an Award merchant and in the Jesus movie he is depicted as a white man, which is not true of the time.
