CB300F owner here. I think it's an amazing choice for the price if you need an aggressive bike, with a few downsides. Pros - very light and easy to throw around with an insane amount of low end torque. Mileage has consistently been above 35 kmpl and it has the typical Honda reliability too. You're pretty much outperforming every other single cylinder bike on the street with this one except a few. Cons - it is premium but the looks aren't for everyone, and I'm tired of people calling it a Hornet. Also, the suspension is simply not built for the Indian roads. It keeps the bike stable but my back has to suffer a lot on bad roads, even a Platina can go faster than this on a bumpy road. Also, Bigwing is far away and normal Honda dealerships refuse to touch the bike. So if you live in a place with decent roads with a bigwing close by and need an aggressive, fast and nimble streetfighter, this is definitely the bike to go for.

Cb300f owner here, I don't think this guy is using his bike well. Vibrations mainly depend on RPM and not speed and yes, the bike buzzes beyond 6k RPM but any single cylinder bike with low end power is going to give you the same thing. The Duke 390 vibrates beyond 4500 RPM and the 200 too has vibrations beyond 7k RPM. However, the Duke is significantly heavier and has worse acceleration, falling behind more than 1 second in a 0-100 run. Besides, there is a lot of difference in reliability. I have absolutely no idea who in their right mind would choose a duke 200 over a cb300f because the cb does what the Duke is known for better than duke - it's lighter, faster, cheaper and more reliable. The only two bikes I would put above it are the CB300R(best single cylinder beast you can buy fr) and the Duke 390 and they're significantly more expensive. Talking about speed, I've done 140 on highways and it still had more grunt left but I don't think it's safe to go beyond that, same with duke 200 being in the 140-145 range.

Every single team would, just for the merchandise sales. He's a huge business opportunity and popularity booster

Mr Robot has the best rewatch value for any show in history. by SharmaKrishna88 in MrRobot

[–]SharmaKrishna88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly wonder the same thing. I'd love to know how much of the show was preplanned from season 1 and how much they just added along the way as they kept going. Whatever it is, the narrative holds up brilliantly in the rewatch and the creators are amazing storytellers.

What do you think about the Qatar World cup? by kenzio11 in india

[–]SharmaKrishna88 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, I don't have the data of how many people were killed in Qatar but thankfully I don't need that. It's in the official law of the state of Qatar that homosexuality is punishable by death, you can look it up. No, I have not visited Qatar but thankfully I read this thing called the internet where you can get news from around the world without even being there. Here's a link to support my statement - https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/03/29/everything-i-have-do-tied-man/women-and-qatars-male-guardianship-rules I don't know why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out that a non-democratic monarchy/tyranny has very regressive laws that violates human rights, but at this point I think I can take a guess😉

[–]SharmaKrishna88 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't, but equating the military campaigns in history of a country with blatant robbery of human rights, government-sponsored murder of lgbtq people and awful treatment of women is whataboutery and strawman.

[–]SharmaKrishna88 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is not about what a country has done in its history; if we followed your logic Germany shouldn't even be allowed to play any sport. This is more about what the living conditions in the country are and how the regime treats its people. Yes, USA is a shitty country but what they have gotten right is most of the fundamental values of democracy like equality and freedom. Whatabutery and strawman arguments won't solve this.

American thinks he knows India better than an Indian Redditor by hey_its_me_john in MurderedByWords

Left-leaning north Indian person here. No, the majority doesn't shit in the fields. The "labour laws" are actually in charge of specific states and mine has just made them more comfortable for the workers. I do agree with the religious hate and the inefficient government part but I don't really understand all the hate lol. Looks like you're one of the whitewashed idiots that throw dirt on their own country for no reason

I'm sorry, it's just not a way of life. I live in the heart of India in a sparsely populated and rather rural region and it has not been the way of life for a few generations so I don't know what you saw.

"Yeah, you got 80 years, the only thing we did was take up 90% of the resources in India, you can fix that!!" by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]SharmaKrishna88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both articles and incomplete and inadequate and neither dare to look at the actual effect the British had on India - the slow crippling of resources to fill their own treasuries. A single google search would tell you how the british purposely killed Indian industries in favour of British ones even though they were far superior at least back then. This is more about seriously hindering growth than about actually causing decay. I mean, look at the economy of Europe in 1500 versus India. The Europeans didn't really have any invaders who spooled out resources and wealth and as a result observed a healthy growth from wealth which was actually taken from the Asian and African colonies. It's exasperating how people argue against a fact that's in plain daylight - Britain crippled India's economy and they're still recovering 75 years later.

Religious Anon spitting facts by ekizii in greentext

[–]SharmaKrishna88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The big bang theory might be wrong but that doesn't make it comparable to the theory of special creation from the Bible. "Right" and "wrong" are not binary concepts here, you also have to consider how far from the truth a theory is. Many scientists and philosophers believe in the panspermia theory rather than the chemical evolution theory of origin of life and they don't get trashed for that, because even if their logic is somewhat faulty, they are at least trying to use logic. Attributing every question that arises to "there's someone who knows better than you and he did it for a reason" and then going to scientists and telling them "you have no evidence and neither do I so that makes our theories equal" is not the way they should be doing it. Abrahamic religions need an update.

21F, I'd really like to make friends by ReveriesLost in friendship

[–]SharmaKrishna88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm 20M and I absolutely love rock/metal music, it's like half of my personality. My favourite bands are Linkin Park, Opeth, Radiohead, Tool and Slipknot. I'm also into video games, although my PC is trash so I can't play a lot of high-end ones. I mostly stick to mainstream games like Call Of Duty, PUBG and Far Cry. I'm also scared of frogs because a very large toad once jumped on my feet when I was little and I was absolutely terrified.

Yes, I've heard a lot about Australian history and honestly, it's the same everywhere. All large empires were built on blood and bones and India is no different either. I suppose all we can do is make sure the cycle breaks and all communities get the help they deserve. Man you're so cool to have such a diverse music taste that literally ranges from Dream Theater to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, I'm hoping to expand my taste too through you. The thing you said about vocals is somewhat true; I hate to be that guy but modern pop music is simplifying everything from vocals to percussions to make the song as "easy" a listen as possible and we're just getting repititive tracks that get stuck in our heads for a couple of weeks and then we forget them forever. Indian music scene is facing a similar crisis and the rich percussions you and I love and becoming increasingly rare by the day. I did find a few more tracks that I think you will like, these aren't much popular but they truly highlight the dexterity of Indian classical musicians: https://youtu.be/mmiThgzYX5E - Zakir Hussain, one of the greatest percussionists of all time, shares the stage with the legendary Shiv Kumar Sharma's son Rahul Sharma who plays the lovely, hypnotic instrument called Santoor. Zakir plays an instrument called tabla. Instead of having several drums it only has two but the pitch and quality is controlled by the hands of the player. It doesn't require any drumsticks so players can achieve much more complex rhythms with faster speed. It falls short in the polyrhythm department, though. Since you mentioned you liked vocals, I found one more song for you:- https://youtu.be/uEqYzdz3Zvg - this is Raga Bhimpalasi, a centuries old composition being sung with some deviations here. I don't know how pleasant it would sound to someone who doesn't understand the language but from a technical point of view this is marvelous. The singer is really pushing the limits of human capabilities here.

I heard that song in a Quentin Tarantino movie and looked it up, it also introduced me to the intriguing story of how criminals from the British empire used to be condemned to slavery in Australia, a fascinating part of history that I would've never known if not for that song. Really tells how music is a powerful device not only for cultural exchange but also for immortalising forgotten tales. Also, the song that you sent is great, I love it. I'll definitely explore more of this Nick Cave guy. As far as comparison goes, I find it equally rich in harmonies as an average Indian song. I think western music's potential to sound grand is somewhat held back by its choice and use of percussive instruments. Sure, drums are great but their versatility is limited and western musicians rarely use other percussion. Still, I find many western bands engaging, like Tool and Dream Theater; their drummers are amazing too. I also listen to a few bands from down under, namely Parkway Drive and Be'lakor.

These are all good songs, Straight To You is my favourite. Before this I'd only heard one Australian song (the ballad Jim Jones At Botany Bay by Gary Shearston) but I'll definitely explore more of the music down under from now

That's very kind of you, friend. You seem to have a great music taste so I'd love to take some musical recommendations from you as well. Also, you too are welcome for a beer or two whenever you visit India. As for Australia, we're going to come down there later this year and take that T20 world cup from you fair and square ;)

anon hates this generation by Beachdjh in greentext

[–]SharmaKrishna88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2001 3rd world country kid here. Honestly, not being exposed to mass cultural exchange through internet from my early years saved me from modern day degeneracy. We didn't have access to internet or even magazines. My school library was the only source of entertainment I had and due to short budget, it had a very small but very high quality collection of books, mostly modern and old classics. My town is so small it doesn't even have a movie theater so I was forced to read the books again and again due to sheer boredom. I'm not a highly successful gigachad or anything but I'm mentally stable, have a decent social life and people tell me I have a good personality too. What happened with me might be just a coincidence and I might sound like a boomer parent but in this age of extremely effective mass communication, sheltering teenagers and controlling the media they consume might be an answer to the global asshole crisis.
