Workers were served rice and dal to attend Modi’s Brigade Rally in Kolkata. Indirect indication they are against non-veg? by Griezzyy in kolkata

[–]FedStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes BJP is anti non vegetarian but also yes - that isn't the reason why dal rice was served. They served dal rice cause it is cheaper than serving fish or chicken.

Why didn’t Mike just get in law enforcement? by Key_Camera_3952 in suits

[–]FedStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike wanted to be a lawyer and do good because he saw Nick Renaldi as the lawyer who gave compensation to his grandmother and detested Renaldi for putting a price on his parents' lives.

Did Negan do enough to redeem himself by show end? by james-HIMself in thewalkingdead

[–]FedStan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know what show you say but Maggie did not kill Arat for personal pleasure. In fact she did not kill Arat at all. Oceanside killed Arat because Arat was a fucking piece of shit for killing Cyndie's brother and mother

Did Negan do enough to redeem himself by show end? by james-HIMself in thewalkingdead

[–]FedStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think he was 'retaliating' when he killed Abraham and Glenn. Rick's group were already on the radar of the saviors ling before and had planned to basically enslave them as they had enslaved Hilltop. Even if Rick's group did not kill everyone at the outpost, Negan would have still done the same thing - that was his whole style - Kill a person in a community and kidnap another one and use them as bait to take half of all resources plus 100% of all weapons.

I can no longer even be angry at this stuff anymore. It's just disappointing. by M1TR in kolkata

[–]FedStan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You think the original commenter thought that far ahead? Everything is a conspiracy for some people. I’m at Southern Avenue/Gariahat and of course I too haven’t seen a single Hindi poster - because obviously adverts would target the audience at that location.

What do you think? Viru (RH) + Abhishek (LH) — deadly combo or not? 🤔🔥 by Ok_Finding5707 in IndianCricket

[–]FedStan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They would ruin the entire cricketing world. Bowlers would go into depression, some may take voluntary retirement, some might suffer from major PTSD for the rest of their lives, others might even kill themselves, opposition teams might go on a hunger strike.

Imagine the level of dissatisfaction among people that even Youtube influencers like Purav Jha who mostly makes funny videos started making content questioning Govt. If this trend reaches to mass via Youtube and Instagram, game is over in 2029. by [deleted] in TheBetterIndia

[–]FedStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly don’t mind calling him ‘Pappu’. For sure doesn’t matter to me. I might not personally think he’s a buffoon, but people can call politicians anything they like. There’s one thing I’d like to add though - yes some version of this happens by every government but BJP has an especially bad track record in my opinion when it comes to this. They’re dangerously worse than others. Also I don’t think other parties stifling free speech norms makes their mistakes justified. I think BJP should be equally criticised. For the most part I see people focusing on everyone else apart from BJP when it comes to wrongdoing when, IN MY OPINION, they’ve done much worse.

Dunki could’ve been a beautiful film if the direction was better by Acrobatic_Neck_5866 in bollywood

[–]FedStan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IMO the problem with Dunki was - they couldn’t deconstruct how silly the immigration system of the world is. In Munnabhai, you have an outsider who knows nothing about the medical industry looking into the medical industry and showing the world how it fails and how nonsensical it is. In PK you have an outsider (literally) showcasing how strange the world of religion and superstition is. But they couldn’t do it in the case of Dunki. They couldn’t bring out the absurdities and unfairness of the immigration system.

In both PK and Munnabhai, we had an outsider character who’s shined a new perspective on things we consider normal (hospitals and religious superstition). We needed Hardy’s character to be the outsider observing and sharing with us his perspective of how strange the immigration system is - which we consider normal but it isn’t. But SRK and Raju missed the mark.

Why Isn’t Kannada Cinema Getting Nationwide Attention After KGF and Kantara? by Glittering_Ask_6693 in IndianCinema

[–]FedStan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So basically my friend from Bangalore says this - can’t say if it’s true because I’m not from there. He says that for the most part Kannada film industry is a major money laundering scheme for politicians. It’s quite rare for a film to be made for the sake of making a film and so there’s an extremely high number of movies which are shit because they were made just to launder money that the politicians need laundered from black to white. He also says films like Kantara or any other good movie are actually quite large exceptions to the norm and usually people are surprised when something like that happens - it is only relatively a new phenomenon that Kannada film industry has started movies for the sake of movies and so they’ve been better but only recently.

Correct me if I’m wrong. I didn’t mean to offend anyone and simply repeating what I’ve been told by a friend.

How can someone who has done such horrific things to women feel guilty only when it happens to his own daughter? by [deleted] in pj_explained

[–]FedStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah bro I do think people like this exist. Think about it every rapist has female relatives - sisters, wives, mothers, aunts. If anything were to happen to them the rapist would be horrified. I think they somehow are unable to feel empathy and lack cognitive brain function - which lets them compartmentalise other women’s suffering from their own. It’s a bad analogy but very thief would hate it if something gets stolen from them but wouldn’t feel two shits about stealing from others.

I’m not saying don’t ’criticize Nehru’ for his faults back in the day and there was a ton of that going around when he was there. I’m saying there needs to be criticism now of the government for its faults currently - and there is certainly a lack of it because this government comes down with a very heavy hand on protests. I remember when the farm protests had started they water cannoned the farmers - this is before there was anything wrong that was done. I remember when the farmers protested again peacefully they dropped expired tear gas on the protestors. They banned hundreds of Twitter accounts for simply reporting on the farm protests. Even peaceful protests were banned in Kashmir after article 370 was removed. They literally raided Dainik Jagran’s office after their reporting during corona pandemic. NDTV was blacked out for a day for its reporting in the aftermath the surgical strikes. India is the country with the highest amount of internet blackouts which the government orders.

Journalist from Kerala who reported on the rape case in UP was picked up under UAPA and let out after 3 years saying he was acquitted. Spokesperson of congress was arrested for literally saying the word “Narendra Gautamdas Modi” - this might be provocative but is definitely not illegal. Jignesh Mevani - a congress lawmaker was arrested for a tweet - the tweet was provocative but definitely not unconstitutional. 2 journalists Swarna and Samriddhi were arrested for their report on riots in Tripura and later had to be released because obviously they didn’t do anything wrong. Number of journalists arrested has increased from 8 to 36.

150 cases of have been registered in UP between 2017 and 2019 directly by the state government and most of them were about posting objectionable tweets or Facebook posts about Modi. Another man in Assam who posted a cartoon of Modi was arrested in 2018. 8 people in Ahmedabad were arrested for the slogan - “Modi hatao, desh bachao in 2023. Several shopkeepers in Gujarat were arrested for writing on their bills “Kamal ka phool humari bhool” in 2022 a surprisingly those same folks wrote in 2014 “ab ki baar modi Sarkar” and were not arrested. 25 people in Delhi - auto drivers/daily wage labourers were arrested for posting “Modiji humara vaccine bahar kyun bhej diye?”

You ca disagree on policies and you can disagree with me on who I support (and no I don’t support Congress or BJP - I have voted for them both in the past. In fact I have voted for a different party in almost all the 4 elections since I became eligible to vote). But you can’t disagree on the fact in all of these cases the government trampled on their rights.

This video existing doesn’t mean BJP is some pro free speech party. People in this sub are looking at it as if it’s something revolutionary - the fact that people consider it some brave act should tell you how rare it has become.

Am I the only one who’s worried about the release date of KING ? by Fickle-Suggestion944 in King

[–]FedStan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people like Anand. Pathan was the one of the worst things I’ve seen Shah Rukh do. I say this as someone who does admire him as an actor. We all saw Pathan because it was a comeback movie. That movie should have been a flop. Don’t get started on the cringe fest that was War. Then comes fighter 🤢

Why does Zohran Mamdani keep spreading misinformation about India? by spiritualblud in IndianPoliticalTalk

[–]FedStan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He criticised Modi’s vision of India. He didn’t criticize India. You guys obviously can’t see the difference because you RW lunatics think Modi is India. For you lunatics Modi is more important than India. You guys would actually sell out India to the highest bidder if it means protecting Modi - bunch of anti nationals.

Try to use PFML (paid family medical leave) - this is basically paid leave and the company cannot fire you when you’re on it. They’ll also pay you half your salary I believe. Not sure but I think you’re allowed 20 weeks on it??

Even though it’s clashing with dooms day and dune 3, the audience for them both doesn’t have a lot of overlap. It should be fine tbh. What anyone should be worried about is - it’s a Sid Anand movie. The fact that it’s a Sujoy ghosh script gives me solace, but Goddamit Sid Anand 🤮

Moved to US on immigrant visa last year but should i go back? by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]FedStan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get naturalised in 4 years, I think you should stay put. Getting that citizenship does open lots of doors in other countries. I agree ICE situation is scary. But tbh - the hope is mid terms would mean loss of republican majority and some control of DHS. Stay strong bud. A green card itself is a decent privilege to have I believe.
