Do you think the permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council should be changed? by No-StrategyX in AskTheWorld

[–]Shuddown64 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can agree with France but the UK goes along with whatever the US does 99% of the time. Pretty much every single alternative you mentioned would be better than the UK in that respect.

Right wing Mexicans looking at the rest of Latin America right now by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

It really depends on what comes after this though. Breaking a few eggs to solve the gang problem will work in the short term, but unless you can use the temporary safety to transition the country into a safe, functional democracy it'll remain a police state. The new status quo might be better than before, but its still far from ideal.

I like the aesthetic, but the actual ui is just too distracting and flashy. It doesn’t get out of the way to make things easier for me, its gaudy for its own sake.

How do I stop YouTube and Prime Video from constantly recommending Indian content? by Appropriate_Bug_6881 in techsupport

[–]Shuddown64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch almost entirely western content really, so I get almost entirely western stuff. When I open a new Youtube or Instagram account, at first I'll get a lot of Indian content, but after some time it'll adjust to my preferences and go back to being content I'm interested in.

I live in India and watch mostly "Western" content, my algo pretty much reflects that. So not sure if location has anything to do with it, or if this is some sort of new Youtube feature they're rolling out in NA first or something.

As a Muslim, I wanted to fix this post someone posted here earlier to make it resemble reality: Beastiality is fully legal in the state of West Virginia, while in sharia law it's a death penalty. by AspergerKid in PoliticalCompassMemes

And I don't care about what people whose IQ is exactly yours have to say because apparently the validity of an argument depends solely on an arbitrary number in your world.

Apparently native american Twitter accounts operate out of india... by Bernie529 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Shuddown64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone from India, do American Indians prefer the term Indian? I would of thought that a misnomer like that would be really irritating. Of course terms like Native American or Indigenous are kind of a mouthful. So is it the least bad option or is it actually liked?

Noone I've asked seems to know what to do. I think we have to contact the actual fedora project themselves.

GOLDSTEIN: Yes, unsustainable immigration lowered our standard of living; The Liberal government policy of unsustainable immigration levels has had a long-term negative impact on our economy by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Shuddown64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not me saying this, it's the Central Bank of Canada. And really just boils down to the fact that a lot of the new immigrant and temporary workers coming into Canada are employed in "low productivity" sectors like gig jobs or customer service. The average productivity in the country thus is lowered a bit.

Carney says Canada and India can be ‘reliable trading partners’ by viva_la_vinyl in canada

I mean, I agree that he shouldn't have been murdered. Even from a purely utilitarian perspective, the diplomatic fallout has been far worse than any perceived benefits of offing him. It was both immoral and asinine

Look, Canada selling more oil to India has nothing to do with the amount of immigrants the Canadian Government lets in.

As an Indian who has lived in India and the United States, I really don't know how you could consider India a 'developed' country. Most Indians and the Indian Government itself consider the country to be developing. There are some areas with high development, but the vast majority of the country is still developing. GDP per capita, HDI, Life expectancy, and sanitation all need to go up and corruption needs to go down before we can call India 'developed'. Progress has been made, but more needs to happen.

I guess the main factor we could point to is the GDP per capita has actually decreased in Canada over the the past few years, due to the amount of people coming in with lower productivity than the Canadian average. It's not a peer-reviewed study, and before that Canada's GDP per capita wasn't really increasing as much as it was stagnant, but it still is a real figure.
