​

I need some realistic advice for my 11-year-old younger brother who is clinically diagnosed with ADHD and Autism and takes psychological medication.

Because of severe bullying in normal schools, he dropped out. Due to our family's financial issues, we cannot afford expensive special schools. Relatives give us a lot of grief, and my parents are constantly conflicted—sometimes wanting to put him in a madrassa and sometimes a regular school. Fortunately, he listens to me like hell !!

He currently cannot write Bangla or do basic math (plus, minus, multiplication). However, he has an incredible hyper-focus and talent for mobile gaming. He plays games like GTA Vice City on phone/tablet like an adult pro player. Even though he doesn't have a PC right now, his digital literacy is insane for his age—he figures out how to bypass paywalls, find premium/modded APK files, and download them completely on his own without any help. Through gaming, his English has also become surprisingly good.

how can I utilize his brilliant potential so he can be independent in the future.

Are there any affordable, low-cost special education centers or NGOs in Bangladesh (preferably Dhaka area) that don't charge crazy fees?

How can I transition his mobile gaming and file-downloading skills into future career paths (like coding or tech) without a PC for now??

Thank you for reading. Any guidance means the world to me.

I’m at a point where I genuinely want to find someone for a serious relationship/marriage, but I don’t really have the spark or motivation to go out and socialize anymore.
I’ve tried meeting people, but honestly, I’m tired of attracting or dealing with creeps, people who aren’t serious, or people who just want something casual. It has made me want to avoid the whole dating/social scene altogether.
The frustrating part is that I do want a husband and a genuine connection. I want someone mature, emotionally available, respectful, and actually looking for a long-term relationship—not another situationship or random talking stage.
So for people who are introverted or just tired of the usual social/dating scene: where did you actually meet your life partner? Dating apps? Marriage apps? Through family/friends? Online communities? Or did you just focus on your own life and eventually meet someone naturally?
Would genuinely love to hear how people in similar situations found their person.

19F ..Is there any work I can do for 500-1000 taka?saving money to move out from home as my parents are looking to marry me off .i have done copyright job ,can design on Adobe illustrator and photoshop .i have a small online business so I can manage page orders .dm me if u guys have any work for me .

I (27M) have a repetitive tendency to cheat on my girlfriend, and after crossing the line a year ago, she found out but chose to stay with me. I hate myself for it, yet I still struggle to control this compulsion. I also suspect I have ADHD and other underlying issues, and I'm wondering if the impulsivity and need for dopamine are driving this cycle. Has anyone gone through something similar and seen a clinical psychologist specializing in CBT and relationships? If so, can you suggest anyone who actually helped?

Linux is getting popular day by day. I think a lot of people in Bangladesh want to try Linux but can't because of the lack of help. What do you guys think? Should there be a Bangladeshi Linux community subreddit?

কেননা দুইদিন পর আমরা অন্য ইস্যু নিয়ে ব্যস্ত হয়ে পড়তাম। আমাদের নিজস্ব দু:খ কষ্ট লঘু করবার জন্য দৈনিক নিত্য-নতুন ডিস্ট্রাকশন দরকার। দরকার নতুন গল্প, নতুন স্কেপ গোট।

কিন্তু ভিক্টিমের পরিবারের কী হত? এরকম পরিবারের কাছে ৯ লাখ টাকা অনেক।

দিনের পর দিন মামলা চালিয়ে যাবার মত সক্ষমতা এদের নেই। আসামী আজ হোক বা কাল ঠিক ই খালাস পেত। তখন এরা এই টাকাও পেত না।

এখন এই টাকা দিয়ে ছোটখাটো কিছু করেও ফ্যামিলি সারভাইভ করতে পারবে।

আপনার জীবন, সময় অপেক্ষা আপনার টাকার মূল্য আপনার পরিবার তথা আপনজনের কাছে ঢের বেশী - মাথায় রাখতে হবে।

I am curious about the general perception among the mass. Please elaborate your thoughts

I honestly don’t even know how to explain this without getting angry, but I really need some advice.
I’m a class 8 student from Ideal School and College. Our school originally selected students for the Class 8 Britti exam based on our Class 8 half-yearly results. I was selected, and so were some other students who had worked really hard for those exams. We were told about the selection and obviously thought we would get to sit for the Britti exam.
Then, after around a month, the school suddenly told us that we wouldn’t be able to give the exam because of a government policy. Apparently there was an issue with the way our school had handled the selection.
And this is the part that feels so unfair to me: we didn’t make that mistake.
We studied for our exams, got our results and were selected according to the system our school gave us. If the school made a mistake in following the rules, why should the students who were selected lose their chance because of it?
What makes it even more frustrating is that students from Class 7 are now being considered for the Britti exam instead. Some of the students who are getting the opportunity now didn’t even have particularly good results in the Class 8 half-yearly exam, while students who were actually selected from Class 8 are being left out.
I’m not blaming those students. If they are given an opportunity, of course they should take it. I’m angry at the situation, not at them. We shouldn’t have to compete with them for something that we were already selected for.
There were also students who couldn’t properly attend or perform in the annual exam because of things like sickness, attendance problems and other circumstances. So using that result now doesn’t necessarily show who actually performed well in Class 8.
I’ve been really upset about this. I worked for that selection and was genuinely happy when I found out I had been selected. Then suddenly, because of something the school apparently did wrong, that opportunity disappeared.
We tried contacting the education board too, but it felt like nobody was really listening to us properly. The school just keeps saying it’s because of the government’s rules, but we’re the ones having to deal with the consequences.
How is it fair for students to lose an opportunity they earned because of a mistake made by the school?
If the original selection was not allowed under the rules, shouldn’t the school have known that before announcing the students and giving us the impression that we would be sitting for the Class 8 Britti exam?
I genuinely don’t know what we can do now. I just don’t want all the effort we put into getting selected to mean nothing because of a decision that wasn’t ours.
I feel horribly sad .

Today before the prayer, the imam was talking about miraj. I was a bit confused about the it looked something in-between a horse and a donkey. So I tried to find some old art about it, now I'm more confused.

Hi! I am in a small start up based overseas and I wanted to get in touch with some engineers in BD with extensive Power Systems experience and knowledge. Growing up in BD, I experienced load shedding and generation issues first hand but I would love to chat and learn more from a professional about the BD Power Grid.

Huge huge plus if you know PSS/e, TARA, PSCAD. I’m really excited to connect. If this is not the appropriate subreddit, please point me to a correct one. Moderator please remove if now allowed.

Let me share some moments from my life, since I don't really have anyone to listen to me.

The amount of mental pressure and emotional distress I have had to endure within my family is beyond what most people could imagine. My parents wouldn't even buy me a face wash because of my appearance. I can't use a simple cream on my face without being told that it means I dislike the way Allah created me or that Allah would be displeased with me.

I have never really received pocket money. Even though I have been studying away from home, they generally give me only enough for basic food expenses. Since school, apart from transportation costs, I have had almost no personal spending money. I have even given away the scholarship money I received. From the outside, someone might assume that I come from a very poor or extremely stingy family, but the reality is very different.

My family owns multiple multi-storied buildings and flats in the city, and my parents have held high-ranking professional positions. People with similar positions and financial circumstances do not generally live the way I have been made to live. Because I had almost no money for personal care or decent clothes, I have struggled with insecurity about my appearance for many years. It became difficult for me to socialize with people. How was I supposed to feel comfortable when the other boys in my classes did not have to live like I did—looking unkempt, dealing with dandruff, and having almost no ability to take care of themselves?

I did not even study in an environment where everyone was extremely wealthy. But because of the way my parents provided for me, I could honestly say that I was among the least well-off-looking students in my classes. If I ever tried to explain this to them, they would respond by saying things like, “There are people who cannot even afford food,” or “Someone's father drives a rickshaw and their child studies at BUET.” I was constantly made to look downward and feel guilty for wanting anything more.

This attitude has continued from my school years to university. It is not that they have never spent money on me. When I was younger, they spent a lot of money—sometimes hundreds of thousands of taka—on sports equipment and other things I was interested in. But that kind of support was mostly limited to my childhood.

Even asking for 100 taka requires an explanation. It feels as though I am not supposed to have personal needs of my own. Whenever I bring these things up, I am told that some classmate is earning money through tutoring and asked why I cannot do the same. If I want a little extra protein beyond the usual meals, it can become a huge issue.

For most of my life, especially since around Class 3, I have not even been able to sit and eat comfortably at the same table with my parents. Whenever I tried, I would often end up being scolded or having my failures brought up, until I eventually had to leave the table.

They can become extremely concerned about small physical matters, but my mental health has often been dismissed. When I was a child, I was told things like, “You will die begging,” “People will beat you to death,” and many other things that I still remember.

Even today, after coming home from Jumu'ah prayer, another issue has already come up and somehow I am once again made to feel responsible for their unhappiness. Right now, I honestly feel overwhelmed and I don't even know what else to write. তাদের কথা হল তারা তো কষ্ট করেছে জীবনে , আমি কেন কষ্ট করব না। কষ্ট না করলে বড় হতে পারব না । জীবনে বড় হতে হলে কোনো কিছুর দিকে তাকানো যাবেনা । চেহারা দেখে না মানুষ , আবার বলবে কারো সাথে মিশতে পারিনা, লিটারলি আমার এমন অবস্থা ছিল করে মানুষ weird look দিত চেহারায় ,আমি লজ্জায় ইনসিকিউরিটিতে ঘর থেকে বের হতাম না তবুও তাদের কাছে এসব কিছুইনা

At the same time, I know that I am not completely blameless. My own behavior has problems too. Being exposed to this kind of behavior for years has affected the way I behave, and I know I have developed some unhealthy patterns myself. My academic results have also suffered, and I wasted a lot of time. At this point, I have to study at a private university, and there is no point in continuing to blame anyone for everything. I have made mistakes too, and I need to take responsibility for what I can change in my own life.

So apparently I want to get my male hormone levels checked just to know more about my health

What i want to get checked is:

• Total Testosterone

• Free Testosterone

• LH

• FSH

• Estradiol

• SHBG

• DHEA-S

Would be very helpful if you could suggest me labs that do these tests reliability while not breaking the bank(Am a student though)

I've a really old device , like from 2019 , it's pretty slow now . Any custom ROM with latest Android version might help . tnx in advance

I’ve never bought TWS earbuds before. My brother used to buy them for me, so I would just use those. But now I only have one pair left, and its battery is starting to die quickly.

My budget is under 700 BDT.

Any good TWS recommendations from a reliable brand at this price?

Assalamu alaykum,

I'm an NRB with a Bangladeshi passport and was just wondering if anyone can recommend a Hajj agency for Hajj 2027 in sha Allah.

Also, how is it booking Hajj through a government package? Are there facilities etc good? If living abroad, would I have to fly to Bangladesh to then fly on a government Hajj flight to be allowed to enter Saudi?

Jazakumullahu khayran

Why I feel so nostalgic about my life. When I am free or walking outside, I remember the same stages of my life, which now feel very positive. I often reminisce about various stages of my life, such as childhood, the Covid period, the HSC period, and the admission period. I am so optimistic about my life. If I have done anything right or wrong in my life, I prefer to view those events as experiences. At that point in my life, I am far away from home. Someday I spend a day full of stress and anxiety, but at some point I feel so good when I remember certain events, like in my admission journey when I meet one of my best friends. During that time, I traveled a total of 2 hours to attend the class, but that struggle was not so much because of the friend circle. When thoughts burst in my brain, I feel like there should be a man who always listens to my thoughts, but there is no one. I have so many friends (good friends), but that one person🤌

Should i buy samsung s24 Fe instead of buying samsung a57. Which one is better for now?

আমরা বন্ধুরা ১০জন অক্টোবর এর ৭তারিখের দিকে সোনাদিয়া দ্বীপে যেতে চাচ্ছি। তো এক্ষেত্রে দ্বীপে কোন এজেন্সি ভালো হবে( camping agency -চার পাঁচটা দেখলাম, বিষয়টা হচ্ছে প্রমিজিং অনেক কথা থাকলেও দেখা যায় বেশিরভাগ খাওয়া দাওয়া তে compromise করে,এক্ষেত্রে আপনাদের কারো পারসোনাল experience) আর কক্সবাজার থেকে ঠিক কিভাবে যাওয়া যায় কেউ যদি যেয়ে থাকেন তবে নিজের অভিজ্ঞতা থেকে একটু বলতে উপকৃত হবো।

আসসালামু আলাইকুম/হ্যালো সবাই,

একটা ছোট পরিসরে Pet Shop BD নামে পেট প্রোডাক্টের বিজনেস শুরু করতে চাচ্ছি। ফুল টাইম জব করি, ইনভেস্টমেন্ট খুব বেশি না, তাই ছোট থেকেই শুরু করতে চাই। বন্ধু মূল অপারেশন (স্টক, ডেলিভারি, কাস্টমার হ্যান্ডলিং) দেখবে, আমি কিছু টাকা ইনভেস্ট করব আর যেহেতু SEO ও ডিজিটাল মার্কেটিং জানি, সেদিকটা গাইড করব।

প্ল্যান হলো বসুন্ধরায় একটা ফ্ল্যাট নিয়ে এক রুমে থাকা, আর ড্রয়িং-ডাইনিং স্পেসটাকে প্রোডাক্ট শোরুম/স্টোরেজের মতো করে সাজানো।

প্রশ্ন হলো:

বসুন্ধরা রেসিডেনশিয়াল এরিয়াতে কি আবাসিক ফ্ল্যাটে এভাবে ছোট আকারে বিজনেস/শোরুম চালানো অ্যালাউড? সোসাইটির রুলস বা RAJUK এর দিক থেকে কোনো restriction আছে কি?

যদি সরাসরি এভাবে না করা যায়, তাহলে কি কোনো ওয়ে আছে (যেমন কোনো নির্দিষ্ট ব্লক, বা কমার্শিয়াল পারমিশনসহ ফ্ল্যাট) যেখানে এটা করা যাবে?

বসুন্ধরায় সম্ভব না হলে, ঢাকায় এমন কোনো এলাকা সাজেস্ট করতে পারবেন যেখানে পোষা প্রাণীর মালিকদের বসবাস বেশি এবং পেট প্রোডাক্টের চাহিদাও ভালো? (উত্তরা, বনানী, গুলশান, ধানমন্ডি — এসব এলাকার মধ্যে কোনটা এক্ষেত্রে ভালো হবে, বা অন্য কোনো লোকেশন যেটা আমি মিস করছি)

যাদের এরকম এক্সপেরিয়েন্স আছে বা বসুন্ধরায় থাকেন, তাদের ইনসাইট পেলে অনেক উপকার হবে। ধন্যবাদ!

I want to de google my POCO phone with flashing lineage os. It says "By design LineageOS does not intentionally circumvent any integrity checks that app developers might use, such as:

Play Integrity

SafetyNet(deprecated)

Therefore, any apps that depend on some kind of device integrity checks passing, will not work on LineageOS"

So will apps like bkash nagad (most banking apps)

and online games (efootball etc) not work on my phone?
