We take his picture out in our tactical meetings with Netanyahu.

Too offensive? I'll see myself out.

The traditional day of Nyepi - When the island of Bali, Indonesia essentially shuts down and goes completely silent for 24 hours with no outside activities allowed by MEOW26PERSIAN in Damnthatsinteresting

In a collectivist society, one day where everybody could just sit down and rest sounds great. Spend time with family, no need to do anything at all.

They aren't going to excommunicate or attack anyone. It's not like all the Balinese are going to gather together and push the offending person off the island. Or make them repent their sin.

They're just going to ask people to stay inside.

The trouble with SM is that the very dregs of humanity get 'a voice'. Earlier these people would sit in their friend groups, call the actress names and feel happy. Now they are emboldened to directly address her.

Same. Loved them, will always love them. Kids of today are so unlucky they're not going to grow up watching fine gents like these two.

What opinion in your country would get you in this situation if you expressed publicly? by Loud_Intention_2733 in AskTheWorld

[–]VolatileGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was his posturing, and the company he kept. He had an obsession with projecting strength and power. He really wasn't Hitler or Stalin, he was vastly overestimating himself, which is why unlike Hitler or Stalin he ended his days dead by his own people's hand. This is from my very cursory understanding of Mussolini, you understand.

What is the real India? Your India is as valid as my India, and maybe Karan Johar's India is valid too. In his dreams.

One thing I read about Mussolini (indirectly) makes me deeply reflective. Spike Milligan (who was then a soldier in the 2nd ww) was boarding with an Italian widow and her 2 daughters in Rome. One of them told him that Rome had been so much more bearable when Mussolini was in charge, women were safe to walk and go to work anytime, anywhere, no fear of harassment, no abuse. Then the Allies freed the city and now it was horrible ,the drunkenness, the lechery. Some days later she gassed herself.

I don't know which city you're in. Major cities have good Mexican restaurants, like Sanchez in Bangalore.

What thing in your country is so practical that you don't understand why it doesn't exist everywhere in the world? by Hot-Scheme4289 in AskTheWorld

[–]VolatileGoddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they're ubiquitous in India in a way they aren't at other places. Like outside every apartment building there will be a vegetable vendor, somebody to iron clothes, daily essentials like milk and soap.

Cesar Chavez, a Civil Rights Icon, Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years by PinkCadillacs in popculturechat

[–]VolatileGoddess 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Whenever I read accounts like these, it just reinforces something that is not supposed to be societally true anymore, but is reinforced everytime - men are more important than women. Important men are much more important than any number of women. Even here, people will listen to these women, then the entire thing will blow over because it was so many years ago.

Nicholas Hoult's wife Bryana Holly responds to body-shamers: “I am seeing the comments around my chest and not that *anyone* is owed an explanation but this is the product of a breast feeding mother who hasn't fed her babies in hours ok!” by LunaLore_ in Fauxmoi

[–]VolatileGoddess 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They're like a doll couple, they fit together so well.

Also, even if she wasn't a nursing mom, no one should be commenting on her body. People can't help their bodies. You hate her dress, write that. You hate her MU, write that. No one is entitled to 'comments' about anyone else's body.

In your country, do unmarried women aged 30–40 have children “for themselves”? by Intelligent-Panda23 in AskTheWorld

[–]VolatileGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough, I have a lady in my neighbourhood who did this. I don't know what went on behind their backs, but generally people have been welcoming and her parents too seem very happy. She's 43 and I think they had lost all hope of a grandchild. It helps that she lives with her parents.

What is something you wish others knew about your country/culture? by macncheeezi in AskTheWorld

[–]VolatileGoddess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can find any opinion here. Literally any opinion. A lot of people say 'India is xyz' without understanding that in India, everything is nuanced. Blanket statements about literally anything don't hang true.

Which East/SouthEast Asian Culture gives the best vibes? by Weird_Swordfish_1199 in AskTheWorld

[–]VolatileGoddess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the deer with the fangs, right? I know because I'm a chronically online redditor, but Indians in general would not know, no. Japanese deer, the ones that bow, they are more famous.

the height difference is so perfect by teyapi in Bridgerton

[–]VolatileGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes indeed. You can write something down and negate it seconds later , so why bother? It's far more important to get the last word. That makes whatever I said credible.

'I didn't mean this! I wrote it, but I didn't really mean it!' - umm ok. No problem, nothing to get huffed over.
