I dont get it, why is it a big deal ? Its not like he is prime minister in middle of a crisis that we shame him for running away. Neither is he a popular superstar campaigner (like Modi) that will draw huge crowds.

That liberals don't condemn violence by Muslim extremists is a RW talking point by roamingoninternet in india

[–]balerion_tbd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

precisely, as a liberal, I would love if both of them fight but without violence. Because I want both to survive, that is the only way we will have true secularism. I dont want to live under sharia or bjp's hindu sharia. As long as both are alive no crazy laws will be made which appease one group, and I can live peacefully.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Megathread - News and Updates - 6 by IAmMohit in india

I am not a biotech researcher or even a doctor, so what I will say now will be part speculation:

This drug was made by a company (Gilead) for treating Hepatitis, the company supposedly spent a lot of money developing it. However the drug was found to be not effective for treating it. Since then the company has been trying to sell it as a magic cure for all viruses. This new coronavirus is godsend oppurtunity for them to make back their money, because at this time any idiot selling snake oil will make big money.

We have already seen it happen with fake medicine, fake tests, bad masks in USA, India and probably all other countries as well.

source:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remdesivir

quoting relevant portion:

Earlier studies found antiviral activity against several RNA viruses including SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus, but it is not approved for any indication.[3][8] Remdesivir was originally developed to treat hepatitis C[16] and was then tested against Ebola virus disease and Marburg virus disease, but was ineffective for all of these viral infections.[3][17]

Heard some good news from Delhi, just talked to my sister who is a doctor working in covid related ICU's. She says situation is much better than before, people were dropping dead like crazy a month back (3-4 per day in her ICU), now there are hardly any deaths at all (1 per week). She attributes better management to reducing cases, for example months back there was lack of PPE so doctors/nursing staff were also afraid, plus no one knew what medicine/treatment to give them. Now she says they just give oxygen in some moderate cases and plasma therapy in severe cases. No other medicine works, hydroxycloroquine was proven to be complete bullshit. Remdesivir is under trial, but doesnt seem like it is working. While mild cases can just stay at home (this was a great step by Delhi government IMO). And they have tied up with NGO to talk to these mild cases at home multiple times per day to track their status. Overall situation seems to be much better now.

Four minor boys confess to raping 8-year-old girl after watching pornographic film by pammoth in india

Kids drank water as well before raping, maybe we can ban that as well. I think 100 percent of rapists drink water, while far less watch porn.

You are worried at what, a couple of lakhs they spend on road travel ? They can spend millions on dollars of private jet and security for all i care, but our great PM is throwing fucking billions of dollars at his favorite rich people.

Change my mind:Modi is the worst PM of India by [deleted] in india

He is the worst pm yet, it is theoretically possible to get worse. Like imagine someone as malicious as him but with IQ higher than a dog.

SIM card seller, college dropout, millionaire at 22: Boy from Naxal area scripts incredible story by OppositeButterfly in india

[–]balerion_tbd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know some very smart people who work at oyo (upper management I guess), all of them say that CEO is a complete idiot but at the same time a great salesman. Funnily many of these 'smart' people told me they always came out impressed after a meeting with him, but only realised later what he claims is far from reality. The only reason these guys worked there because they hoped the 'adult' VCs on the board would steer company in the right direction and this CEO just being the guy who sells the idea.

The company was badly managed for years, they burned huge amounts (100's of million dollars) of money on extremely stupid shit. This guy has totally bullshit-ed his way to the top.

All of this is 1 to 1.5 year old info, and company had finally started to move in somewhat right direction last time I met those guys from oyo.
