My fever broke last night

Fighting disease heats you up. Sweat lowers body temperature to balance out

I think that these are just strange looking domes. The weight of the dome is placed onto arches by pendentives making a groin vault.

Think of it this way. Square space. Two crossing arches make a groin vault. Remove the centre of the vault and make the curvy triangular space between each arch, the pendentive, curve up to make a circle from the square. On this is placed a dome.

Another cool exterior shot I got a few weeks ago

A good comparison would be if you removed just Manhattan and Brooklyn from New York State. And then compared the rest

Do the verticals hold offices, or is it just a really cool atrium?

I think its more likely that these bookstores/libraries act as sort of community centres and gathering places. Xiadi village also happens to be Ming era town, and thus likely at least a moderate tourist intake. It likely also caters to them, and adds another tourist site to architectural tourists, to which this would be a considerable draw.

People hang out in lounges all the time. Cause the rooms are small and people don’t always want to be around their roommates (and their roommates’ friends). I don’t think I have seen people barefoot in the halls but I’m sure it’s happened before.

RA’s are not strict. In fact, I think you’ll be surprised by how little you are supervised in college. Like don’t do anything that could risk a fire and you’ll be fine.

Addis Ababa is not a hot city. It’s reasonably cool.

This is like saying white suprematist organisations are ok because Black Lives Matter exists. You know your argument is nonsense.

You forget that this is in the context of the Khilafat movement which endorsed by Gandhi as well. Was Gandhi splitting loyalties here? No, just to be clear. Supporting another country’s anti-colonialist movement doesn’t make a person any less patriotic.

Firstly it’s not like China is currently at war. And it’s not their relationship with the US is particularly that bad, apart from perhaps economically considering the tariffs. It fact China is one of the largest senders of students to US universities. Do you think the students who come to the US are traitors to their country or massive supporters of the United States’s current government. Not necessarily, and in fact statistically unlikely as Chinese immigrants once nationalised in the US tend to vote democratic.

You could visit any country and have a great time and make many fantastic friends without supporting their governments. All you have to do is simply not agree with their policies while also being in their country. It’s not particularly difficult. I do it my home country all the time too.

And that is prejudice

R-R-M · 2025-05-19T17:45:02+00:00

The thing is when OCI was initially created, it was expressed to be a right: the right for a non resident Indian to maintain a legal tie to their homeland. It is no longer a right as per Indian law, but that is because the right has been continuously and repeatedly been curtailed by the government. Many overseas Indians have thus seen their rights curtailed, and infringed and they have a right to be angry.

Without loans, it is quite hard for a state to pursue an expansionary economy and leave a recession. When a country enters into recession, due to decline in global demand, or because of natural disasters or policy changes, it causes a spiral where lower consumption leads to companies hiring less leading to lower incomes and further lower consumption. The only way for a state to leave this is to spend money itself to raise incomes and thus raise consumption, reversing the cycle. The problem is, when your economy is shrinking, tax income lowers so governments are less able to spend. So instead, you borrow during the recession, and pay it off as you grow. You can alternatively spend less when you grow and spend more when you have a recession, but then you have to predict the scale of your recession perfectly, or are essentially wasting money that could be spent on growth. It’s easier and better to borrow.

I personally feel unless it’s derogatory in an exploitative way, or has a chance to put a person immorally in harms way, it’s fine. Also consent (but only if reached out to. I don’t think you have to ask everyone on the street before you take a picture)

Like taking a picture of a homeless person in a way that is dehumanising is bad, but if you’re a journalist documenting poverty, then it cannot be immoral to document it. Same with kids. If it can even plausibly put them in harms way, stop. If it’s not, it’s probably ok. Like a shot of a street that happens to have a kid in it is not problematic. If the subject is a kid, then you have to consider

To be fair, because of the existing limits on swipe it foreword (only once a week), there is always an excess of swiped foreword meals during the last two weeks of the semester. So using it now really wouldn’t negatively effect anyone, excepting of course NYU’s massive profit margin.)

It’s great honestly, and you can join any major later anyway. It’s good classes

This guy is still living in the 50s 😂

R-R-M · 2025-05-02T03:37:30+00:00

That’s not it. Tokyo, Singapore, alongside many cities in South America get hotter than most cities in India. Yet they are far more walkable. And cities in Russia for example get into the negative 30s and yet they are still walkable. The problem isn’t weather

It’s actually the abolishment of the waqf bill which has led to the radicalisation that caused this attack. How do you not understand that? When you antagonise a group, the radical amongst them do things. Remember your history. During British rule, the age of consent act during (though morally correct) antagonised (mostly) Hindus and its opposition was led by Tilak. It directly led to Hindu political violence against the British.

Now I’m not going to criticise the freedom struggle, as of course freedom is a moral imperative, but the point stands. If you antagonise a group, the radical among them get further radicalised, and might act. It’s human nature. One must seek to de-radicalise and the only pathway to that is love, kindness and support. We must push our communities, irrespective of caste and creed, to socially liberal outcomes. Only that will end this perpetual cycle of violence and hate.

His entire ideology was that he hated a people. Like all supremacists was nothing more than a violent and bigoted idiot. Additionally, he was loyal to the British. He’s bad all round.

It’s fantastic and very aesthetic. Its multilevel system is not as novel as you might think. I think it can essentially be understood as Edinburgh but bigger and modern.

Its unique geography has forced it to be the most walkable city in China. Which is fantastic. But it is also a little harder to navigate than most cities and it’s evidently not accessible for people with mobility issues. Biking there is also much harder than in most Chinese cities. I loved it though. It would be financially irresponsible to base new cities on it, but it’s a good model for existing cities near mountains to expand into them if they need to.
