I'm not well versed with all the new laws/ ammendment or scandals. I do try to keep up with them. Recently, my neighbor who I'm close with is getting on my nerves. She is a die hard fan of Modi and supports BJP. She has seen congress ruling and says those times were bad/ worst. We are not in India. So all the information She gets if through news channels. Her topics change from the new petrol ethanol % to why brainless people are opposing it when it's good. Her example is the price of gas in us is higher. I pointed out not everyone can afford and she says it is required then backtracks saying only bigger cars should be charged more.

I bough up about how sudden tax is affecting and she goes well it is charged that way here as well. Today it is about Modi calling someone Dimagi Naxel??? And she supported it saying those people are spoiling other's thoughts so Modi is right. Maybe I'm wrong but isn't everyone free to express themselves? So I bought up how people get called anti nationalists for mentioning a few issues. She starts with, bjp doesn't call them that. Then the issues they discuss are not to be mentioned. When the issues are corruption or just letting someone know how the infra is bad then she changes to during congress jails were filled with people for speaking against congress. It's like she'll compare the issue at hand with usa or previous Indian politics. At this moment, she says bjp has flaws such as having few bad people in the party. But Modi is good. In the recent Delhi paper leak, she said students got hit bcoz they marched toward ( whatever the place they marched towards, I forgot the word) and it's unconstitutional.

I am so done. If i point out things happened under bjp she blames that on the state government like the paper leak is due to state govt and not central. Today she said she is not andhbakth and I'm being leftist??? So right is supporting bjp and left is not supporting bjp blindly ig.

Anyway, I would really really really appriciate it if anyone could give me some prespective. This is not gonna end and i can't keep mum to avoid. Just tell me if I'm wrong. Or if there are solid things that went wrong which couldn't be justified.

I apologise for the long rant. These talks are draining me when i usually like our conversations. Apologies in advance if there are spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.

I’m a new transfer student, and I’m hoping to find someone who’s also looking for housing and a roommate. I’d be happy to search for places together. I’m aiming for lower rent options, and I’m totally fine with places a bit farther from campus. If anyone has any leads, please do let me know. Thank you.

I know this is gonna sound stupid, but I always felt like Shiva was always with me. Like a tiny ray of hope, even when things were bad. But for the past few months, it feels like he just left me. Is there any idea where i can feel more connected to him? Am I just mad?

Non-native English speaker here. I was wondering how difficult it is to learn German and how long does it usually take? Ik a few languages that one can converse in but can't read or write. How difficult would it be to read and write German? I would really appreciate your answer. I really really want to learn it. I would also appreciate any sources I can get to learn German. Thanks
