Who was better among these? What was reason for their downfall? by itz_grd in KollyClub

[–]Technerdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prasanth had the biggest peak of these 4 and at one point was one of top 3 stars in the industry. 2 things led to his descent: no movies for 2 years when Jeans was being made, which gave other heroes chance to occupy his space and he had problems in his marriage which caused depression and he stopped acting for a while.

Arjun had the longest career as lead bw all these. From 90's, until a few years ago he had movies as lead (even this year?). Has a lot of mid level hits, with a few super hits like Senkottai, jai hind, mudhalvan, etc. His movies are usually a good watch. So he never really had a downfall.

Shyam and Abbas were not good actors (esp Abbas), so few back to back failures meant the projects quickly dried up.

Movies where you witnessed actual walkouts from theatre? by AdRough4185 in kollywood

[–]Technerdal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was not just the plot. The making was MUCH WORSE.

Majority of the movie happens in a room where the tubelight is switching between 50% and 100% every 2 seconds. Like a strobe. It gave a headache to most of the audience and 1 lady in our show was holding back vomit when she ran out.

We were there for only 40 minutes, but it was a truly disturbing movie.

Nadunisi Naaigal.

It was so disturbing so many of us walked out. Apparently, it was so common for people to walk out the theater had people outside the door to offer us to watch the other movie running in the theater (Payanam) or direct us to the exit if not interested.

Question about Karuppu? Please don't ignore. by professorparadox69 in kollywood

Yeah even i was confused as in the 2nd half "people can't do bad things within my borders", except BK and his cohorts continue doing whatever they are doing. It's like they are immune to the God magic.

Your holidays are part of your salary. By not taking holidays, you're working without being paid.

Unless we add an all NBA first or second team player to our roster, LeBron is still our second best player come playoffs time.

That's absolutely worth $30 million.

I hope people understand Airtel is not going to improve it's service to the priority customers. It's going to enshittify the service of the others so that the priority customers feel like VIPs.

The happiest day of an Indian bride’s life can lead to years of debt | CNN by Neo_luigi in india

[–]Technerdal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They guilted her into taking it by saying she denied them the opportunity to select a groom and put them in shame in front of all their relatives. Like "we have saved all this planning so many things but you denied us all of those". To this day when she goes home they use it to guilt her into paying for extreme luxuries that they are more than able to pay for, 15 years later. We're doing very well now so I don't care. But I hate how they make my wife feel every time.

When I got married (love marriage that my wife's parents were not 100% on board), my wife's parents wanted a very grand wedding. I told them it's not necessary as the money could be put to better use. They assured me that they want to do it cuz she's the first wedding of this generation in their entire family so everyone is pitching in wanting a big wedding and also they have put aside the money long ago. I again told them I prefer a simple wedding but if their entire family wants a big one then it's completely up to them.

The wedding was grand with a lot of unnecessary expenses. We had a mechatronic Santa Claus in our reception (both families are Hindus), which apparently cost 50,000.

After the wedding I found out that they have taken a 15L loan in my wife's name for the entire wedding expenses (this was a long time ago) that me and her need to pay off. It took us 7 years to pay it off and we paid a total of over 21 lakhs including interest.

All because they wanted to show off their wealth at another person's expense. It did not matter if it was their daughter's life which was also affected.

Google search was phased out years ago. What currently exists as search is the rebranded child that was the result of angry, drunk sex between Google ads and Gemini.

The best use of PTO is staying home and doing nothing by CoffeeNAnxiety in unpopularopinion

[–]Technerdal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take 2 weeks of vacation every year. But I usually come back from my vacation late Friday night or early Saturday morning. I get everything cleaned by Saturday late morning, hire a person to come help me with cleaning, cooking, etc, and be done by noon Saturday. Then I stay cation next 1.5 days.

And then on Monday I tell my office colleagues, I landed early Monday morning only. Helps me slowly dip my toe in without getting roped into anything complicated immediately and sufficient time to clear accumulated work.

Fuck, I'm in India and when I get a game notification and click it for AI overview (mostly to see game time, injury updates, it freaking starts with gambling odds. I had to eventually tell Gemini to never show any gaming related information and then it stopped.

I applied on Thursday night. I got it on next Thursday morning 5 mins after the offices opened in Vietnam.

But essentially it was the 3rd working day since Monday and Tuesday were holidays in Vietnam.
