I thought I'd get into Anthony Bourdain's stuff. Oh boy, I don't think so.

Has anyone here managed to cope with how inconsistent his ethics are? I mean, he's better than most people, but somehow a person like him never seemed to think about the ethics of killing animals for food, even though it's unnecessary in most cases.

I'd still love to get into his work nonetheless. Has anyone here managed to watch his shows without feeling disgusted?

Where can I watch Kothao Keu Nei (1992) uncensored?

There's a version of the series on the BTV YouTube channel, but it's heavily censored. There are awkward jump cuts throughout, and even the background music, like songs playing on a radio, tape player, or TV, is muted or cut out, which completely kills the vibe.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me find an uncensored version.

Need a Scooter Partner

I'm thinking about getting a scooter, but I don't know how to ride one, even though I'm in my early 20s. Growing up, I had a phobia of accidentally hitting stray cats, even when I was riding with someone else, so learning to ride myself never really crossed my mind.

I'm living in Kulshi right now. If anyone can help me learn for about a month, that would be great. I'll pay ৳10K, plus cover all fuel expenses. We can practice at a place you know is safe, or I already have a location in mind.

Help me find a 1–2 bedroom apartment to rent in Kulshi or Nasirabad

22 (M) - Single. a freelance writer. I'm thinking about moving out and living on my own, and I feel that Kulshi or Nasirabad would be good areas to live in.

I've searched online but haven't been able to find no good listings. If any of you live around these areas, I'd really appreciate your help. If you know of any available apartments, "To Let" signs, or landlords looking for tenants, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Where to Watch Bangla Movies?

I got a Mubi subscription, but the problem is they don’t have many Bengali movies. Even piracy sites barely have any Bangla movies, so I’m wondering where you guys watch them. Any safe site recommendations?

It's hard to watch Larry, but I can't help resonating with him so deeply.

I’ve found myself in a lot of embarrassing situations throughout my life, and for a long time I blamed myself for not handling them the “right” way. Those moments changed me. They made me hyper-aware of everything I say and do. Now, before I speak or try anything, I instinctively think through different outcomes, trying to avoid humiliation before it even happens.

And honestly, it works. It protects me from embarrassing situations. But it also comes at a cost: life starts to feel calculated and restrained. Somewhere along the way, caution replaced spontaneity.

That’s why I resonate so much with Larry. Beneath the comedy, there’s something painfully human about him. We’re all experiencing life for the first time, yet somehow we’re expected to always know the right thing to say and do. As if awkwardness and mistakes aren’t fundamental parts of being human.

(That being said, I’ve never made an affirmative action joke to a Black person.)

I know she was supposed to be just an accessory in the show to move the story forward... we’re not meant to expect anything remarkable from her. But I can’t help it: every scene she’s in is so hard to watch. About 80% of the time, she’s completely unhinged.

And then we’re supposed to feel some relief when she gets humiliated, right? But no... even when she does, it’s still uncomfortable to watch.

There’s something about her character that I’m probably taking too literally, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Anyone else feel the same?
