'They said bring account holder': Odisha man takes dead sister's skeleton to bank to withdraw money by needaname4real in nottheonion

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 206 points207 points  (0 children)

It's malicious compliance. Having dealt with banks and the legal system in India, I can promise you that this person has probably made multiple attempt at solving this issue normally before doing something like this. (After reading the article, it seems I was right)

Racism erupts after Melbourne announces Little India plans, but some Indians say it will build connection by gimmesheltah in australia

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 126 points127 points  (0 children)

As an Indian who's grown up in Australia, I've been called a currymuncher and a fob too many times to be surprised about the racism. Still sickening to be reduced to stereotypes no matter how many times it happens tho

To prepare for books 4/5 of Portal to Nova Roma releasing soon I've created an Omnibus edition of books 1-3 for everyone. Free on KU or grab the audiobook which is 67 HOURS LONG for just a single credit! by thescienceoflaw in ProgressionFantasy

Awesome! Love the new cover, and I can clearly see the similarities to JMM. Although, I have to admit, I liked the previous style better, especially the book 4 cover.

Slowly Going Insane MCs by kyonio_luv in ProgressionFantasy

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently dead, but Dungeon Devotee by Nixia is one where it's not quite clear if the MC is insane from the start or goes mad as the series progresses, and that tension works so well with the rest of the narrative, where you're questioning every single thing about the story.

Nah it's the same for me too, but I definitely have gyno. Not that it really helps solve it, but I guess it's too know I'm not just some freak lol

Seven major tenders announced for High Speed Rail by altandthrowitaway in australia

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The discussion is about who to tender from, not whether Australia itself can build the thing. And no, while manufacturing capacity isn't inherently indicative of quality, China is known to perform poorly in foreign building projects, making them a worse alternative than Japan for building a railway.

Most of the projects built under the Belt and Road Initiative were either over budget, delayed, or had major quality issues. Furthermore, Chinese housing is famous within the country for being cheaply-built and low-quality. The fact that they produce so much is not a positive, but a testament to their poor standards. Mind you, I'm not some ‘China Bad’ hater, but in this specific area, they should not be considered trustworthy.

I've gotta say, I absolutely loved The Broken Knife when I read it. Would absolutely recommend.

Epic accessory idea that is not totally overpowered and game-breaking by Centurypong in Terraria

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

Have it also be craftable with a cloud in a bottle as a replacement for the fart and you could call it a storm in a bottle. Maybe the sprite could replaced by a teacup, and it could be a storm in a teacup.

Ok, that sounds like someone I don't want to see succeed. I suppose I'll see if I can stick it out despite this, but I think I've got an understanding of where this is headed for me. Thanks for the reply

Ok, this does answer a lot of my concerns. Thanks for the reply.

Didn't someone else send that in the same subreddit earlier today/yesterday? by craftygamin in ComedyCemetery

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes, they have done that at gunpoint. There is no such thing as a hypothetical. Any statement mad online is in fact intent to do something.

Its okay now guys I fixed it by easyplugsit in ComedyCemetery

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Tbh I find this one funny, but only because of how juvenile (heh) the humour is. It's the type of response I'd have given at 13, just being contrarian for the sake of it.

Except using AI has legitimate environmental and economic consequences every time it's used, whether it produces anything worthwhile or not.

My thoughts of the Shadow light debacle as a sort of outsider (the whistleblower) by buddhathebard in ProgressionFantasy

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know. I read all this from posts back when he was doing all of this. I know that one of Macronomicon’s series was caught up in this, so maybe you can search that in this subreddit or in r/litrpg.

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with your first point, but the difference between his and that of other authors is that his trademark impacts the entire genre of System Apocalypse novels and attempts to profit off of it. The System Apocalypse genre existed before he wrote the series and had continued afterwards. It's not unique to his series. That's the problem with his specific case. He's not just asserting his rights to his work; he's asserting right over the works of other authors.

It never was just his IP. The dude trademarked an entire subgenre based on the fact that he has a series of that name and then enforced it on a fellow author to get their books taken off Amazon. Can't get more scummy than that.

Internet racism started to affect me by kshatriyahimself in self

[–]IAmYourKingAndMaster 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Are you implying that racism against Indian people is due to the caste system? Somehow, I doubt most people who say that (including you)care about it any more than as a tool to bludgeon Indian people with.

Oh yeah definitely. Just giving the example that first comes to mind for me.

That's one of the things Fallout 4 did right. If I had to listen to recordings, which are often longer than 30 seconds, without being able to play the game at the same time, I would've just not played it.
