F | 22 | Atheist | Never Married | Chittagong | Student

Especially girls, please read this post to save yourself from catastrophic disaster.


I am absurdly introspective and growing up I barely had friends. I don’t know how this post will sound. I'll keep it short, I don’t know, what to say cause I can't make it an Ad to sell myself.

I am someone who is absurdly introverted but I question a lot when I don’t understand things. I absolutely don’t like parties or large crowds. I love being at home doing things I love, reading, coding, origami, listening to Robindra Sangeet and some other stuff.

Although I am an atheist but kshatriya hindu by family background. I truly respect every other religion. I DO NOT want to get into interfaith stuff.

I'm down for relocation. I don’t want to do any job especially corporate jobs. The word "corporate" is so suffocating. I'm figuring out other ways.

You are good as long as you are not forcing me. ​

Sooner or later I'll step out from home to climb Mount Everest. If there’s any meaning that keeps me alive, Mount Everest is the reason. Also sometimes I deeply think about Tibet. Their celibacy, detachment from things, their way of life truly fascinate me. I want to sit with Tibetan Buddhists and ask about life. I want to understand life.

This is reddit and I am not optimistic about finding a true friend like this way. Whatever, I'd love to have someone by my side to explore. I'm being probabilistic this time instead of being a determinist.

[ My friend I hope you know what to dm instead of hi and hellos, so please:) and sorry, I'll NEVER reply to creepy DMs]

[Bhai! I put a Base64 puzzle here and yall just used AI to decode it! I should better just remove the puzzle. Sigh]


Update: Bhai re bhai, can't tolerate anymore.

So this post was an experimental post. My childhood friend came into our home and we were having an argument/debate about marriage. We were also bored that we are talking and we don’t have proof to show. That is the moment we decided to post this and see if we are wrong or right about men.

I swear we are shocked, speechless, laughing, and wondering! It’s barely 15 hours and I got 90+ DMs. Mostly creepy like - hey what about sux. And others were faking about their religion hiding their profile history, but me being me, shob khuje ber kora jai, we saw what they were hiding. And some just casually said - I have a wife already but want to talk with you. Dude, illicit affairs!? We did not reply to ANY dms. ANY.

And arekta jinish kheyal korlam je, meyeder post jebhabe viral hoy ta bolar opekha rakhe na! This post got 110+ shares! Ke atoh share kortese bhai!? 26k+ views! Like what! Anyways, some good dms (2 ta matro) were also there I think, we saw someone saying not to trust people here on reddit and be careful about religious matter. I'm just glad that in a world of creeps ek duita bhalo manush are still there.

Me and my friend we are a bit traumatized. I was right in some things. She was also right in some of her statements. Look, we are not here to judge but honestly judge na koreo thaka jai na karon we made the post - nerdy, deep. But 99% manush maybe post porei nai! Amra ekta base64 puzzle disilam, took us 2 hours to make it, manush dekhlam ai diye decode kore dm kortesilo bha bhai bha.

At this point criticism korai lagbe.

And another fact is bhai tomra kew please reddit e eshe jiboner soul mate pawar day dream korio na. I beg to fellow girls out there, please don’t be desperate for marriage and all. Don’t ruin life. I repeat, amra ajaira free chilam tai experiment korsi, girls be very very very careful about creeps. And stop daydreaming you fool.

Lastly, I hope mods Won't remove this post. It is kinda like an expose post.

Clueless about installing OS to usb

Hi, I am totally new to this kind of work. I am so passionate about OS stuff. Exploring and learning about OSs, Kernels. Recently the tiny OSs really got me. Especially the tiny core linux and kolibrios. I don’t have my own laptop. I will be using my fathers office laptop. So, I got myself a 32 gb usb and want to install and daily drive the tiny core and kolibrios but I can't find good resources to learn and install. I have installed ventoy and installed the iso of tiny core and kolibrio there.

I neee some guidance and if yall have good great resources pls let me know.

Thank you so much.

AI companies destroying books

I am shattered to see all the news about AI companies destroying books. And we can't do anything! Can we? It’s disgustingly horrible.

If books are gone. In the future, if no one reads, can you even imagine the scenario? It’s already happening, just look around how sick, clueless, impatient, and destructive people are.

I kind of want to hate AI, the people who run AI but more than that I hate the common people who are just nonchalant about the matter. Every single time, destruction started with destroying books. Library of Alexandra, Nalanda libraray (to remind you, it burned for 3 months), and you can continue naming the greatest loss of humanity.

Good lord, I have never felt this kind of helplessness ever in life.

Need some advice for low level programming.

Hi, I am someone who loves to tinker with computers. Long story short, I have finally realized what I want to be and do in life. And that is - staying as close as computers and doing something meaningful with it. Well, can't say that I'll become the next Linus Torvalds but anyways, he is my hero:')

So, I am learning C and Assembly in a very traditional way. Like, learning things by breaking it. And to tell you, after linux distro hopping from mint to arch to gentoo to nixos, I am now preparing to build a minimal OS in Assembly.

Now here's my dilemma, I am simultaneously doing things and feel like doing nothing. Like, for a moment I feel like, building a LFS distro, on the other building a minimal OS and embedded stuff and all.

I need advice from Bangladeshi people who made it through. All the confusion and break downs, how did you manage? Most importantly how you made it through? What are you currently DOING?

Just a human looking for any advice to make it through.

Book: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Recently read the book for the 2nd time. Trying to reflect a bit.

The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (A story of co-existence and falling apart).

I can't remember clearly how I came across this book. Maybe I was 12 or 13 and today, in my early 20s I read it again. I still remember that moment of stunned and astonishment, although I didn't have any idea what I read, but I had an idea of ​​the seriousness of this book. Even today, after finishing the book, I still hold that same moment of astonishment!

The small book can be read in one sitting. This book is about coexisting with the good and bad. We are a mixture of good and bad. In other word, we are imperfect, yet we truly value the truth. What is the truth? We don't know. I don't know. Here comes Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to show us something that lives within us. On one side, a person is a mixture of good and bad, and on the other side, another one is completely dependent on the bad. I will not go further into an argument or discussion about heavy topics like good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral.

However, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde unfolds it. And there's also a true friend like Utterson, who deals with chaos patiently. I won't spoil much about the book, I'll just say read it! Especially in this age of the internet, if you observe closely, you'll always find Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Or who knows, maybe there's a Mr. Hyde among those reading this!

This is the very first book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have read. I have heard that Stevenson is a wonderful writer, and I certainly cannot disagree!

And, read the Bengali translated version (By Amirul Islam). To tell you, it is incredibly good!

I really had a great time reading this book again!

বৃষ্টির দিনে কোন বইগুলো পড়ছেন?

Rain and reading is one of the sweetest things to have in life. I wanted to know what books you all are reading, these rainy days. Like, repeating the same books that match the rainy vibe? Or reading something new?

Also would like to get some suggestions for the perfect (almost) book to read in weather like this.

I am currently reading অক্ষয় মালবেরি (মিষ্টি একখানা বই btw) and thinking after finishing that, will start তারানাথ তান্ত্রিক to match the weather.

ঘুণপোকা - Existential Crisis

Recently read "ঘুণপোকা".

​

Readers, you can read it in a sitting but it took me a week to finish, because it's so predictable and I lost the interest to read further. The writing structure is very predictable. At least for me, I predicted the ending and obviously it turned out to be the same. It’s about Gloom and Existentialism. Those, who reflect deeply on life and mind get maniacs occasionally they can predict it perfectly. It’s about pure existential crisis. Although, It was a good read.

​

কোনো না কোনো সময় আমরা সবাই শ্যাম (গল্পের প্রধান চরিত্র) এর মতো হব হব করি, কিন্তু শেষমেশ তা হয়ে উঠি না (ভাগ্যক্রমে বা দুর্ভাগ্যক্রমে)! আমরা মানুষ, আমাদের ভিতরটা এক অভেদ্য রহস্য বটে। সেই রহস্যের এক বিন্দু উঠে এসেছে "ঘুণপোকা" রূপে।

​

Also,

How did you feel reading this book if you already read it? Some criticize it saying "copied kafka style", tbh writing on existentialism back in 1967 in bengali it’s I think huge and admirable.
