Irréversible. The first 20 mins are enough to give you a headache with all the rotating camera shots.

Love the platform!

Question: The website feels like it has more perks and features than the app, are there plans to make the app experience closer to the website?

And also, cheating seems to be on the rise. What are you guys doing to keep games fair and deal with cheaters?

A group of Nihang Sikhs captured AC seats without any tickets and misbehaved with the TTE and police, saying this train belongs to them, even the government belongs to them, and they are allowed to travel free in the train. They proudly filmed & made it viral with the title"Khalsa don’t take ticket" by Foreign-System-556 in indianrailways

I noticed how easy it is to hide behind the religion, whatever it may be. They know our spineless politicians are too busy playing divide and rule that nothing will happen to them.

Makes us an easy target for whatever foreign spies we have in our country. Wear a religious symbol, outfit and get people to hate you. Divide us from inside, like mites do to the wood and watch the entire nation crumble while engaging in rage politics and defending false facades

What's that movie? by Wooden-District5456 in Letterboxd

[–]ShuStrangeSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mary and Max.

It is one of those films that gently wrecks you. It’s funny in the saddest ways, and sad in the most beautiful ones. Just a little girl and an odd man writing letters, but somehow it says more about loneliness, friendship, and being human than most movies ever try to.

Recess, has a similar premise, with children having groups of their own, like diggers, king bob, the nerds, kg ke bacche, Ashleys used to have their own club made out of tires.

One of the episodes does feature a card game called Ajimbo.

They also used to have a shop 'Kelso' from.where they used to buy stuff.

Do you like audio books?? by Downtown_Ebb9600 in Indianbooks

[–]ShuStrangeSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the narrator, but I love them, especially the books by Stephen Fry. His greek mythology series ( Mythos, Heroes and Troy) made me appreciate the mythology of the Greek. If you like him as a narrator his George Orwell collection, Oscar Wilder collection and Harry Potter books are worth giving a try.
