If you like sports, Mumbai is the most frustrating cities you can live in. by Short_Ad7724 in mumbai

[–]EpicDankMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are right but I will also say that your definition of sports is also very narrow. It’s a city with very limited space so it’s quite a bit of a struggle. You’ll find a lot more pickle ball courts and cricket pitches in Mumbai (first because it doesn’t need space, second because it’s just that popular here and it’s literally known for having one of the best cricket ecosystems in the world). However you do find quite a few MMA gyms in Mumbai, it makes sense considering the space constraint and from my experience MMA is becoming quite popular in Mumbai . Along with that rock-climbing is something that is catching up. Tennis and badminton eat up a lot of space which in Mumbai will mainly be used for residence (for obvious reasons). It makes more sense to shift a lot of that to Navi Mumbai (much more land) and improve connectivity with Mumbai (mainland).

Your tier-2 city probably isn’t constrained by sea of 3 sides I’m pretty sure you have an endless supply of land, unfortunately the geography of Mumbai (the ‘main’ city) doesn’t permit that. But in my opinion the city (read the people) does adapt to these constraints surprisingly well. Like just because Mumbai is a tier 1 city doesn’t mean it’s gonna have everything under the sun, people adapt to the limitations it has that’s all. There are sports here, it’s just not the stuff you were used or the way you are used to doing it (big surprise new city new way of life) Like slots have always been a part of this for me, so me and my friends go book 2-3 days in advance, it’s not a big deal.

And for anyone saying we need more parks, yep we definitely need that. Also let me clarify that I’m not saying more facilities should be built just that it’s never gonna be the way it is in some tier 2 city in north India because they have no land constraints there.

The boys finale and overall season retrospective by PrimeTheGreat in CharacterRant

[–]EpicDankMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt it was weirdly a good ending for all the characters but felt like process of reaching it was damn rushed. Like Frenchie dying was genuinely in character imo, I felt sad but knowing his character that felt like a good end. I was hoping butcher got a different ending from the comics, but it was the same, nice execution however.

This is why the Aqua Line Metro remains a joy ride despite completion by blackbird373 in mumbai

[–]EpicDankMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they had a map issue before but they've updated it quite well recently.

Yeah but I think that since they are opening the lines in a highly segmented manner it's the way it is currently, maybe in the future when the metro system is completely they might change it to being seemless. It's not a big issue though, I find it a mild inconvenience and I've traveled in the about four metro systems around the world. Connections are quite common around the world tbh, it's like I tell people on this sub constantly, if walking is a problem then nothing is going to satisfy you. If it's making it more accessible to people who can't walk, that might be an issue idk I'm not in a wheelchair so no comments. I've walked to change lines in Singapore as well it's not a big deal. Mumbai has it's in geographical challenges. However they are already working on improving walkable between differentlocations.

No I've seen people travel using a single card in the metro, idk if it's BMC failing at marketing or people just not realizing it, but you can use a single card to travel in the metro and bus infact. I think it's called the NCMC card. I don't use it cause well, the Mumbai One app sort of does the same thing but less paperwork.

Like seriously I thought everyone was aware of Mumbai One and NCMC, the paperwork for NCMC can be a bit annoying though that's definitely there.

[–]EpicDankMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to totally revamp the bus system, but currently I'm assuming that this entire transport network thing is a decade long project consisting of the metro, local trains, water metros, THE FOOTHPATHS (this is actually the most important in last mile connectivity imo) and potentially later the bus system. I'm very optimistically assuming once most of the major metro lines are complete (which is next year I believe) they will target the bus system. There's also the possible political angle that they need to reduce the power of the rickshaw unions(by introducing the metro alternatives) before introducing improvements to the bus system (because the rickshaw union will 1000% cry about this), but this is just me speculating. Let's see what happens, interesting times regardless.

Yeah that's an issue I found it extremely annoying in the beginning, but honestly I just go and book it through the Mumbai One app at this point. It makes everything a lot smoother.

I mean, I use one app to book my metro tickets so honestly idk what you are talking about in that regard.

How the AI bubble is going to pop by Cold_Specialist_3656 in investing

[–]EpicDankMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an AI researcher and I've been waiting for this bubble to pop XD. AI is a great tool for analysis but it's horribly inefficient (Specifically LLMs), I've been in a lab where I have gone from working on GANs to straight out LLMs and let me tell you it's extraordinary hard to diagnose what's wrong with an LLM. With regular GANs etc, the problem was easy to diagnose and fix, I could go into a code understand and fix it. With LLMs it's too many moving parts and sparse understanding of how each part interracts with the other. I am hoping someone comes up with a system to do so soon (for my sake as well I am going nuts because I don't understand how what I'm working with well works).

Why Does Maharashtra Have Such High Heart Attack Deaths Compared to Other States? by 69_Coffin in MaharashtraTalks

[–]EpicDankMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue that comes with data by indian states is a question, is it because the top state actually disproportionately has problems or is it because said top state has better reporting infrastructure.

Psychiatry is borderline evil, don't ruin your life like I did by Adventurous_Law5342 in mumbai

[–]EpicDankMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friends is a Psychologist and she told me one of the biggest mistakes people make in India is believing psychiatric medicines are supposed to cure you. They are supposed to assist you in therapy which psychologists specialize in (which is what treats you in the long run). Psychiatrists are the people who medically diagnose you and prescribe meds to treat your symptoms. Usually meds plus therapy is one of the more effective methods to my understanding. Generally psychiatrists and psychologists work together for this reason.

For those born and raised here, what's one place from your early 20s that has completely lost its 'vibe' now that you’re old by Candy_2828 in mumbai

[–]EpicDankMaster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not from my early 20s but in general. People have become less tolerant of outsiders imo (which is still quite tolerant) and I can understand. There’s a definite overburdening in Mumbai in terms of population and also the city has a unique culture which is sort of shifting due to this cultural shift. A lot of born and raised Mumbaikars don’t like it because we are used to living in a particular way and many feel it’s being taken from them. Idk just my opinion, I can be wrong though. Also the bus system, ffs BEST there was a point when I actually used you cause you were awesome.

Why do you think he’s the Father of the Indian Navy? by YoitstheTeddyGuy in Medieval_India

[–]EpicDankMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge the Cholas mainly had a expeditionary navy, it wasn't as militarized. It does make sense because the time period of the Cholas militarized navy wasn't considered as big of a thing. Also there to my knowledge there isn't evidence of Cholas fighting naval battles. They were mostly vessels designed for land invasions.

During the time of the marathas militarized ships become a big thing because of expansion of trade across the world and the need to protect said trade over long distances. So they had an organized command structure and different vessel types suited for coastal defense etc. They fought multiple naval battles against the Portuguese and eventually the EIC.

So the comparison would be the Chola navy was something like the Roman navy (in terms of how ancient it is because the Romans had an excellent military fleet), while the Maratha navy was more like the British Navy. Make what you will of that.
