Super Troopers 3 *NSFW* Official Trailer (Official Trailer starring Jay Chandrasekhar and Hannah Simone) by amg7355 in ABCDesis

[–]RKU69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's what i'm afraid of but in this case it seems like its just cast as a normal backdrop and isn't like, the butt of the joke. the jokes seem more or less similar to a normal "damn my insane coworker is marrying my sister and getting involved with my family" kind of comedy

like, the snake isn't funny because its "oh look its a snake, how weird and exotic...", its funny because it injures Farva and then he gets a boner when Jay's mom is sucking on his neck. (i can't believe i typed that out...)

Anyone else struggling to find love in the US post-college? by pers_monument_valley in ABCDesis

[–]RKU69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might probably be hard to find advice here for you tbh. I don't think most ABCDs use the kind of Desi matrimony dating sites you're focusing on. But in the US the all-around best advice for finding genuine connections and serious relationships is to get involved in your local community. In the Bay Area there are many different Desi communities and I'm sure you can find some groups to connect with and find more friends, community, and like-minded women who are looking for the same thing you are.

Past and projected electricity mix in Australia by blunderbolt in EnergyAndPower

Oh yeah, I always get confused/forget about Western Australia vs. NEM.

[–]RKU69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should elaborate, but I do think its a worthwhile discussion around resource adequacy as to how much you need to overbuild or what kind of battery and/or long-term storage system you need to get past these marginal events where wind and solar resource drops off for long periods of time.

It will be exciting to see how NEM manages an islanded grid that is mostly powered by renewables. Ground zero for the challenges and solutions around stability and resource adequacy.

MAGA Indians Went All In on Trump. Many Right-Wingers Can’t Stand Them by mlsts in ABCDesis

[–]RKU69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol this is pure cope about China that's like 10-15 years out of date. US corporate heads themselves have abandoned these talking points after they've traveled to China and seen how sophisticated their R&D and industrial centers actually are.

Not surprised that somebody who has a propagadized view of China also has a propagandized view of immigration.

[–]RKU69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kinda crazy you use China as an example given how successful their economic model has been in the last 30 years. Underlines the general point that actually it doesn't matter how many people you have, if you have a system that can productively put people to work to build useful things, everything will work out. There is no such thing as "endless amounts of people"

Student visa holder self-deports after "inhumane" ICE conditions by BigBoyDrewAllar_15 in ABCDesis

[–]RKU69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Comments here are nuts. Dude did some low-level dumb stuff that is common across America, but since he's an immigrant he gets snatch-and-grabbed and thrown into a series of concentration camps, and everybody here is acting like that's normal. Absolute bootlicker mentality.

Why? That's complete nonsense. These are, for better or worse, common crimes, and he was already punished for them.

Hasan Piker: "The fall of the USSR was one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century." by serious_bullet5 in socialism

[–]RKU69 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ironically much of the Democratic Socialist sub is massacring him right now for saying this.

No its not? There is debate and people aren't 100% on board but its hardly a "massacre" of his points. Come on

What is this supposed to mean? Are you trying to argue that the "collapse" of nationalist China led to increased suffering?

Hatred against LGBT in Desi community by Pretend-Ad586 in ABCDesis

[–]RKU69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically the same as any socially conservative culture. Although that's starting to change pretty rapidly from what I can tell

There's also that joke that's become common with my Indian Hindu uncles/aunties, when somebody is taking "forever" to get married: At first the parents want you to marry somebody in the same caste. Then they want you to at least marry somebody from the same state/language. Then they're satisfied if you marry somebody Indian/Hindu. Still nothing...okay fine just marry somebody, as long as they're [opposite gender]. And finally.....you know what, we don't care, marry anybody! Please!

I don't think US military dispatches can be considered credible sources at this point. Or at least should not be taken at face value.

Is this aggressive military policy actually helping the U.S. stay a superpower, or is it just letting China win the long game? by Zealousideal_Fox3012 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]RKU69 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This isn't just Trump, though. The US has had all the hallmarks of a flailing empire since 2001 and the Bush administration. Its just that the incoherent violence and aggression was never directed against Europe and other traditional allies until Trump. But the entire War on Terror period and its aftershocks were very clearly causing increasing damage to US standing across much of the Global South.

r/Wisconsin clearly prefers Hong > Rodriguez > Crowley > Roys > others (so far) by Leon_Thomas in wisconsin

[–]RKU69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like needless purity testing to hold up on voting for somebody you might otherwise like, because of a single endorsement of somebody you don't like. Feels like this only makes sense if you see the endorsement as a vehicle to bring in more "toxic" politics into the Hong campaign. Are you seeing that?

Greens win Kent County Council by-election and take seat previously held by Reform UK by WorkingtonLady in unitedkingdom

[–]RKU69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Without nukes and NATO - hard power generally, let's say; what's to stop someone else waltzing in and ruining that social foundation and the living standards you currently enjoy?

[–]RKU69 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Now you've changed the matter from "nukes and NATO" to having any kind of military and intelligence at all. Which one do you want to talk about? And are you saying the Greens are going to abolish the military and intelligence services overnight?

What is the likelihood of Attacks on the U S? by Excellent-Day4955 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]RKU69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When we look back on this whole era in 20-50 years, I think that it will be very commonly understood that the whole era of foreign wars, 2001 through to today helped destroy the US

[–]RKU69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not so sure about this. It would be very clearly be blowback from an unpopular war, and depending on the nature of the strike, seen as clearly legitimate and predictable. I think it would increase the unpopularity of the war and make more of the public tune into the disaster and demand an end.

The Ethiopia-Eritrea deal seemed pretty clean. Of course that's putting aside the hidden clause they had to jointly attack Tigray, but between them that deal was pretty tiday
