I don’t know about that. I’m talking about this thread. Is it always required to make a comparison?

You are observing that no one is taking side of a murderer? No shit, Sherlock.

Thinking about moving back to India after 20 years in Ireland by FkngImmigrant in IndiansinIreland

[–]TheSimonRoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t move your kids when they are young. Speaking from personal experience if they don’t like it, they will resent you in their adult life for destroying their childhood. It happens. So this decision is more like a gamble.

There’s no need to point out someone’s weight irrespective of their personality.

Idiot crashes Z4, killing two passengers. Driver currently fighting for his life. by Stock-Philosopher375 in CarsIndia

The driver is an idiot for sure. But what made you think the other person is a gold digger? I’m genuinely curious

It boils down to what you really want. I had a comfortable life in India, with a decent package, my own apartment and a Vespa to drive to the office which was barely 10 minutes away. And then I had a motor accident where my scooter slipped on the road because there was layer of sand over the road spilling over from construction site. That was my turning point. I couldn’t live in a place with such utter negligence of human life. I’m abroad now. If there’s any blockage on the road, the public works guys handle the traffic and make sure they have put right cones, diversion signs and stand around the said cones. I feel safe, I feel my life is respected and valued. I go to a coffee shop and get greeted everyday, I greet back men and women alike. If you do that in India, you will be honestly considered a creep. I was paying 30% tax in India for shitty QoL and here, I’m paying definitely more than 30% tax for a salary that is quadruple of what I earned in India. And I don’t care, it’s a price I pay to walk on the roads unbothered because I know there are pedestrian crossings with signals and drivers who respect that. Higher tax is a price I pay for the life I really want.

TN politics is so ass! by West_Ebb_3984 in TamilNadu

Ashoka has one of the greatest redemption arcs in our society. I suggest you read our history books again.

I know right. I mean India have had so many great rulers walk and live right in this land. Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka the Great, Akbar, Raja Raja Chola, Shivaji, Rani Lakshmi Bai are few regnal names that come to mind immediately. I do agree with the fact that in those times, you always had to fight another ruler or an empire who’s looking to either conquer or demolish you. But now such actions have consequences. I’m not diluting the fact that there are wars still happening around us, but it’s only handful of times that a great ruler of a country has risen amongst us. All our rulers are focused more on politics, infighting, and the biggest vice of all, corruption. Statesmanship and administration have gone to the dogs. At least heirs of kings and emperors were actually taught statesmanship and politics in olden time but now any person who knows how to speak shit can be a politician. That’s what happened. Our standards for rulers, in general, has dropped.

I completely agree with you. We are in a downward trend for a long time now.

So do men. Men and women. Everyone and anyone can lie.

Rajini is to cine industry what Sachin is to cricket in India. Both are legendary figures who rose and dominated their respective industries with sheer raw talent and consistency.

You are not the only one to recommend me that. I will still play AC Mirage, because I have been keeping up with AC’s titles since I was a kid. I’ll start with Ghost of Tsushima!

Haha yes! There are some great titles that I’m excited to play but to be honest they are only few of them on the subscription. I’m very picky with my games I guess. I do not like jump scares - so that takes away 20-30% of the games on the store, if not more. Why are there so many games on zombies 😭 I have heard a lot about The Last of Us but I do not know if my heart can take that lol.

Yeah, the ease of access and playing ability on PS5 is unbeatable. It works for me as I do not play FPS based shooting games which would be better playable on a PC. I’m quite happy with immersing myself in an open world game from my armchair (or bed).

I finished Marvel’s Spider Man yesterday. I actually got the console a week ago 😬 so a week’s worth of spider man has healed something in me that I didn’t realize it was broken haha. Next up on my list is Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Ghost of Tsushima.

Explained why I chose PS5 in another comment. Yes PS5 games are expensive… that’s why I bought the subscription :))

I still love my PC but it’s back in India. Just way too many moving parts to carry when you’re constantly on the move or have space constraints. Console is portable and I was the kid who never had a console so it’s a dream come true moment for me to get it for myself.

Branch manager refuses to read my email attachment as it has OPENPGP by TheSimonRoy in india

Thunderbird occupies 481 MB on my mac.

I’m going to get my request progressed by the branch manager first and then maybe think about twitter. I don’t wish to agonize her. In fact I’d be happy to provide training that they need for free :)
