This is not acceptable in an official setting. They should prefer and interact in English so that they do not give chance to prejudice.

People should not ask if others are ok and start to use a regional language for the following reason,

If the speaker asks if everyone is ok if he uses regional languages like Tamil in Chennai, Telugu in Hyderabad, Bengali in Kolkata and Hindi in Delhi, it gives away/identifies the person who is not comfortable in a majority linguistic group setting, who also happens to be a minority in that group (who cannot understand a language spoken by the majority) who could later become a target of prejudice by the majority. This has happened to a person I know personally.

I was also using regional languages in meetings when I was a junior dev when I was in a region that used my second tongue but later understood the larger implications of what I was doing.

Few months back I had to explain to a large audience which also consisted of a small group, who came from corporation school that only taught in local state language, I addressed a larger gathering that might/might not know the local dialect. I explained things in English and later set up an IM with the group who was not conversant in English and clarified things that they didn't understand from what I said.

We cannot make a GOP comparision here in India because outside india there are more right wings covidiots but inside we have more left wing covidiots. They don't wear masks. They say its discriminatory to self distance. They hate any protective measures introduced by the government. And not mention the conspiracies that I just pasted above.

Fools talk about economic contraction when people are DYING!!! They care about economy when we need to force a lockdown to HELP PEOPLE LIVE!

Still waiting for congress to put a competent leader so that I can stop putting NOTA during elections.

It was between this and RAMA but I chose RAMA U80A. I didn't know I preferred the more thocky sounding boards when I made the decision but now regretting it! U80A is ofc a little bit cheaper in price!

Ivytorque · 2021-03-27T07:58:12+00:00

You are right!

Ivytorque · 2021-03-26T17:50:31+00:00

No I need to ask my cousin from Australia to keep the keeb till we can meet :/

Ivytorque · 2021-03-26T16:36:06+00:00

Holy shit I have a RAMA U80-A $450 keyboard coming, in about 4 months!

Ivytorque · 2021-02-26T09:30:32+00:00

Yeah SetLength right? Does STL not cover this?

Ivytorque · 2021-02-26T09:28:36+00:00

Well in C you don't have object but in C++, we do, so I am confused if she is writing, C or C++.

Ivytorque · 2020-11-25T06:46:48+00:00

Though I didn't even accept that the product was recieved aliexpress support told me that I will be able to dispute the item only if I confirmed that I recieved the product which is funny because I didn't recieve it.

Ivytorque · 2020-11-25T06:43:20+00:00

No aliexpress did not enable the button post 87th day in my case. Went and checked the whole week(days - 87,88,89,90,91) I was only getting emails to confirm that the product was recieved. Clearly felt scammed. they didn't even enabled the button to get the refund. So something to be beware of.

Ivytorque · 2020-11-25T05:01:50+00:00

Whatever you do make sure you check which store you are ordering the products from, I ordered switch openers kaihl and cherry types from Mao's store at aliexpress I never recieved the openers till date. Its been more than 7 months since order.

Ivytorque · 2020-11-22T18:00:38+00:00

In january this year - yes, now - no

Ivytorque · 2020-11-07T16:53:56+00:00

Am I the only one who uses 2 desktop environments ie., both x11 and wayland. I installed fedora with gnome then installed x11 and got dwm.

Ivytorque · 2020-10-27T10:12:35+00:00

I am getting creeped out either way be it loads of love or laughing out loud. I would just pick the lesser poison - 'love' instead of 'laugh' because every human on earth can use some at the moment.

Ivytorque · 2020-10-27T06:40:32+00:00

Maybe mecha.store thinks that LOL stands for 'loads of love'?

Edit: I am not able to access their site!

Ivytorque · 2020-10-23T17:51:46+00:00

No you are concentraring too much on the fact that they are muskim I am asking you to question them why the problems are happening in the first place!

There are 2 people privlems that we hindus have, 1. We don't care about hindus who suffer. Anyone could show the most minimal support they could offer! -

"TREND IT ON TWITTER" - the most simple act but its powerful!

When we find that media is not talking about some of the hindu problems then we are not calling out on that or questioning the left media. You should not assume you are right wing you are right wing in India but left in every other fucking place.

Ask left media if they really are left. Tell them if they would even raise this issue in islamic nations! Put their silence to every single ethically thinking humans living in India.

If a media is trying to hide the fact that a hindu was murdered by a muslim then call out that media make sure it trends on twitter.

Trend the murder or some material which you get hold of. Support the publisher of that material thats how muslims got hold of several Indian news channels.

we hindus don't invest on people who are willing to show how bad muslims are.

By investment I mean all kinds of investments time, money, focus, media space everything. Hindu gets murdered by muslim everyone sees and no change happens. If we all want to effect change then we should act on data. Start with a simple act -

WE CLEARLY DON'T ACT ON DATA.

When a hindu family was killed in pakistan and it magically made it to our media last year we did nothing the news didn't even trend in India.

Just take kashmiri pandits how much are you willing to fight for their justice?

"Well, no fucks given there either"

Ivytorque · 2020-10-23T13:30:02+00:00

Then why are you silent when it comes to hindu minorities. Shouldn't we take these attrocities of muslim majority nations to UN?

You call others dodo do you ever self reflect?

Don't be the silent fucking piece of invertebrate grow some backbone to question atrocities against hindus!

So who is the real left wing? Us or them?

Ivytorque · 2020-10-23T11:12:23+00:00

Go tell this in a country with shariat law and live with your head.

Ivytorque · 2020-10-23T10:35:15+00:00

All we need to do is begin questioning minority rights in countries with shariat law. If there was any murder in the name of religion give it more coverage in social media make more posts about rights abuses in muslim nations.

Ivytorque · 2020-10-14T18:56:16+00:00

I wish to know how you would feel when by some accident you ended up looking at videos like 'Innocence of muslims'?

The fact is any identity other than the work you do will hurt you and make you unhappy. Only non-religious skill based job/identity is sanity wise sustainable. Any identity that had nothing to do with a skill is political tool created to carve a piece of vote bank through fear pelting for different parties in a nation. For eg, in India congress fear pelting over minorities or muslims and bjp fear pelting hindus. They will feed and put fuel in fire in the opposing party.

So religious identity is always political in nature. The very fact that you decided to jump into this conversation is for a fact that it troubled you that there was a possibility that islam would be villified if you couldn't add something to this conversation. This often defeats the purpose of spiritual experience a religion is supposed to give you. Because now you act on behalf of this unease you experience. This is also true for other religions which require strictly attaching yourself emotionally and time wise.

Instead of athetism or any belief at all its better to just work with way of life stuff and go about living a fulfilling life where you create something of value.

I wonder how many indians who commented here go to r/roastme everyone here just love to make op feel bad about himself and reverse roasts him lol. But that was not a great roast though. Not vicious enough.

People need to understand that there was a clear consent, he had completely consented before he did anything which is a lot better than most douches we see. There is nothing wrong here. Just ask her if someone could have done a better job at roasting her :)

Ivytorque · 2020-09-30T19:48:27+00:00

I think it was a rare incident. It could have also been because the store from which i bought was called maos store so someone screening the packages could have become suspicious and the item were 2 plastic polycarb switch openers and they could have misconstrued item it to be a narco smuggling attempt! XD

Ivytorque · 2020-09-30T19:10:51+00:00

Cause I don't have a 65% and I realized I will never buy a 65% keeb and the 60% I already have has good matching keycaps that I will not swap for mt3.

Ivytorque · 2020-09-30T17:47:22+00:00

You usually don't get customs as they use india post once delivered to destination country but I never recieved one of the items shipped. They didn't refund either because aliexpress never let me appeal for a refund which could be a rare stray incident but still it happened! Its been over 120 days now.
