Need Help Choosing Philosophy as an Optional for UPSC – Pros and Cons?
2024.11.29 23:39 dhondhuu Need Help Choosing Philosophy as an Optional for UPSC – Pros and Cons?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing for the UPSC Civil Services Exam and am struggling to finalize my optional subject. I’ve been leaning toward Philosophy but still have some doubts. I’d love to hear from those who’ve taken Philosophy or have insights about it.
Why I’m Considering Philosophy:
- Concise Syllabus: It seems more manageable compared to other optionals.
- Interesting Content: I’m intrigued by existential and ethical questions.
- Overlap with Ethics: Philosophy overlaps with GS Paper IV, which could be an advantage.
- No Prior Background Required: I don’t have a strong academic foundation in Philosophy, but I’ve heard it’s beginner-friendly.
- Abstract Nature: Some topics like metaphysics seem difficult to grasp.
- Answer Writing: Philosophy requires clear, coherent answers. I’m unsure how easy or tough this would be to master.
- Resource Availability: Are there enough quality books and guidance available for Philosophy?
- Minimal GS Overlap: Beyond Ethics, I’m worried about the time investment for this subject, as it doesn’t overlap much with the rest of GS.
- Honest feedback from those who’ve taken Philosophy as their optional.
- Insights on scoring potential and answer writing strategies.
- Recommendations for study material or coaching (if necessary).

2024.11.29 23:39 OrdinaryPool3427 Can anyone identify this bizarre scene from a 2000s horror movie?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to find a horror movie that I watched about 20 years ago. There’s one specific scene that stuck with me: An elderly couple is sleeping in their bed. The woman wakes up after hearing a noise and decides to wake up her husband in a very abrupt and funny way: she grabs his private parts. The man wakes up startled, and she tells him she heard something. The movie isn’t a comedy, but this scene was so bizarre and out of place in a suspenseful context that I found it hilarious.
I’m trying to find this scene to add it to my YouTube playlist "Random Scenes from Random Movies". If this sounds familiar, please let me know! I believe the movie is from the 2000s, possibly American or British.
Thanks in advance for your help!

2024.11.29 23:39 Oliver-Mc10 When to upgrade
I currently have a 4.5ft by 1.5ft by 2ft enclosure. I am looking to get another at my parents house, where I live for roughly half the year. Should I be looking at upgrading there, and getting a 6ft enclosure, despite this meaning that my skink will have access to 4.5ft for half the year and 6 for half, or should I look to keep the enclosure size consistent?

2024.11.29 23:39 schaweniiia How do you organise your savings?
I see more and more people online who have 5+ savings accounts for dedicated purposes (holidays, emergency funds, date night funds, etc.).
I've personally only ever had one account for my savings and I always keep it at the same level (6k for me).
Everything above that, I put into my Stocks & Shares ISA. I love the idea of having more pots, but I also think it would make me lose oversight quickly.
How do you sort yours? And what are your best practices? Do you have any advice to pass along?

2024.11.29 23:39 Flashy-Virus-3779 Ghosted After LOR Meeting
Hi all, I could really use some advice on what to do.
I've been pouring my soul into grad school apps for this cycle, and my applications are due on Mon/Tue. I am very aware that admission is not a sure bet, but I wanted to try my best in either case.
My faculty mentor who I worked with for north of 2 years during my UG expressed support for me and agreed to write a letter during a meeting I arranged early on in the summer. I did not want to catch him off-guard, and I wanted to take the opportunity to meet in person before I moved across the country.
Since then he has not responded to any of my communications. When we met he requested a set of material to necessary for him to write the letter, and I have provided it all. He said that I would need to really chase him as the deadline nears, but at this point I am pretty much FREAKING OUT.
I sent him text/email 3 months out, 2 months out, 1.5, 1, turning up the frequency as we approach the deadline. Last week I texted him every morning, and tried calling him once. I feel like I am crossing boundaries at this point, despite him saying that I would need to chase. This morning I sent him a text about this, and got no reply.
Out of fear that my messages were not getting through, I asked a colleague to remind him that I have been trying to get in contact with him. He expressed positive support to this colleague who relayed it to me. I still have not gotten a reply from this professor.
Our time together was not without incident, although I cannot think of anything that would remotely warrant ignoring all of my messages. At this point I'm seriously bummed out. I could have requested another letter from someone else, but I worked with this professor so closely that I did not even imagine this, and I figured that I'd be ahead of the curve initially asking 4-5 months before the due date. I was worried about my other 2 recommenders as our time together was much shorter, but they confirmed early and have been great communicators with me.
I see a lesson here, being that I should have requested additional letters just in case. Well here I am with only 2 letters, 2 days before things are due. I don't know what to do, this is such a depressing reason to have invalid applications. I know that his phone and email work. I do not understand why he couldn't just tell me no. I made it clear in my messages that I completely understand if there is any reason that he can no longer write me a letter. The worst part is that I could have asked other professors but I was so confident in this one that I just let it go, telling myself that he meant LAST MINUTE last minute.
What do I do? At this point I feel like the message he's giving me is that he hates me, though I do not think he's the type to express this by completely ignoring me. Is it doing too much to send another email politely asking for his honest feedback, and for thoughts about the letter or concerns about me?

2024.11.29 23:39 Natural-Energy1138 Downstairs neighbors
We moved in about a month ago our downstairs neighbors moved in a few weeks after. I have a one year old son who run/walks and he very active and he drops stuff on the floor. We have hard wood floors and every time since they moved in we tried to make sure we didn’t make that much noise to be decent neighbors by trying to tell our son there are people below us or to be quiet or not to throw toys but like I said my son is one and he doesn’t make loud noises on purpose he just gets excited and jumps or accidentally drops his toys. We were gone for two days for thanksgiving, we came back and my little brother and my mom came with us and they were a little loud but I reminded them we have downstairs neighbors they stopped being so loud. We were only home for two hours then We heard hard knocks on the door and I opened it and our neighbor he just instantly said we are being loud and he’s been trying not to say anything but he hears running around and sometimes at night and then I said I’m sorry I have a child and before I could say anything else he says while you can tell him no mind you he’s talking in a passive aggressive voice. Okay now here the things that made me upset was him saying to just say no to my son he a one year old and he doesn’t understand that much and his tone the entire time. I just want to know what you would do in this situation if there even anything to do. Or do you guys know what would happen if he complains to the office and it’s taken out of context. I am I in the wrong?
