    Most Indians believe that even living in a horrible arranged marriage where you have nothing in common with your partner is better than remaining single. Such conservatism and lack of imagination...

    Good recent Kurzgesagt video on loneliness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3Xv_g3g-mA
    I like how the video does not try to prescribe one universal solution for loneliness, and leaves it to the viewer to introspect and find out what's best for them. Had a similar video been done by an Indian, it would probably have recommended marriage and children as the only way to not be lonely.

    I think Tamil Nadu and Kerala tea workers have it a little better than Assam tea workers, but not by much.

    Tamil Nadu politicians are trying desperately to hold on to power in the state. Don't know how long it will last.

    Do you know what radical means? It doesn't mean "being angry and aggressive" in your political views. It means *at the roots of*.

    If you use that word, expect to defend how your perspective can solve *the root* of the problem.

    For example: Anne, Bill, and Cathy entered a baking contest. Oh no! They accidentally burned the cake. They rush to fix the problem. Bill trims the burned parts off and Cathy adds extra frosting. Anne says "guys, I think we need to bake a new cake."

    Very disappointed with NewPipe's decision to deprecate support for older Android devices. Ignorant and environmentally insensitive, maybe even racist. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/1871

    "Yeah, sorry but the Newpipe project's deprecation of 4.1.x has nothing to do with global pollution. That's the hundreds of millions of people in Africa, India, China and Southeast Asia that don't recycle their phones and just throw them somewhere and destroy their own ecology."

    It's very annoying when the white man in an affluent Western country claims that all those poor Asians and Africans are the cause of global pollution. That is so far displaced from the truth, and it irks me that they have the balls to say such things.

    These antinatalists sound quite crazy, but it's nice to see discussion about not having children enter the public consciousness, especially in a country like India where parenthood is considered sacrosanct.

    Maybe, I too should try collecting my plastic waste for at least a month or two, just to appreciate the volume of waste better.

    Unfortunately, this likely only means that banks will promote their proprietary apps as being more secure than SMS. While they may indeed be more secure, it would be much better to have free software banking apps that we can trust.

    Wow, until this foreigner pointed it out, I didn't realize we Indians used such a peculiar head wobbling gesture. Yet, I have done it unconsciously all the time!
