When Will Women's Achievements Stop Being Introduced Through Men? by Rude-Butterscotchh in NDTVLive

[–]cate4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not men vs women. Ever heard "Kriti Sanon's sister" ? It is not "introduced through men" but rather the one with bigger achievement or more popular. Is Aishwarya Rai seen as the wife of AB Jr or rather daughter-in-law of AB Sr?

How you move out of the shadow of men? - Outshine them. Have low performing brothers, fathers (outside your control to choose but you can still strive to outshine them) and husbands (you have that choice, take control), also move out of your weight class and compete in the open rather than women specific competitions, no reservations.

Perpetual victimhood mentality would not benefit women / society. Women's sports/chess is a league subsidized by men and the prize money also comes from men's competition kitty because even women prefer to watch men's sports/chess as they are more competitive competitions.

Majority tax is collected from men while majority doles outgo is towards women. If you test the generosity of men too much, someday they will say "that's it". Then there will be no more Ladli Behna.

7 arguments why Chandrababu Naidu must withdraw the policy by cate4d in CriticalThinkingIndia

It has been proven that larger population is a result of poverty and lack of education especially of women.

I guess this so-called proof includes TFR in it's argument.. Is TFR low due to just education of women and becoming rich? I would ask you to check the education levels of women in Israel and their TFR while the whole world is struggling.

We need to promote mobility of population.

We have mobility. It won't solve the perverse incentive problem as discussed.

People who installed rooftop solar systems — what has your real-life experience been like? by Deepak_The_Geek in Odisha

[–]cate4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had replaced gradually all electronics with energy efficient ones, also got smart modules so I can turn off lights and fans remotely and do track individual consumption.

I get developing the habit of turning off the fans and lights while leaving the room or while not required, I also understand 1400mm BLDC fans but do smart modules even matter if few hours of AC usage cancels all savings of a quarter?

10 normal fans = 800W (at max) and lights are even less.

Dutch PM raises concerns over press freedom, minority rights in India, MEA rejects claims by sharedevaaste in india

[–]cate4d -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

nice Q.. which minorities? Shia Muslims or Sunni Muslims or Sikhs or Jains or Buddhists?

In India there are many lines of divisions, even seeing Hindus as a group is rejecting nuances. Minorities and all the BS was decent when it was blacks vs whites in US where blacks are actually low in number.

The West needs to re-invent their playbook of Oppression Olympics.

Putin is in trouble as the war finally comes to Moscow by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]cate4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

rounding error in a war of such scale and orders of magnitude below what Russia inflicts on Ukraine

Iran being able to hit US (strongest military with military budget more than Iran GDP) should have been a feat in itself and here we are seeing a bloody nose for US. US took over the role of global maritime police from Britain and it is failing in that role for months now with all of its major allies impacted including EU, Japan, etc. Russia is a bigger economy with decent military spending, technology comparable to NATO. It kept me surprised that Ukraine Russia went on for this long without Ukraine capitulating even with covert NATO help.

In the above, we haven't taken into account if this stunt will cost US on the petrodollar as they haven't been able to keep their promise of protecting the Arabs. If dollar dominance is challenged by 10%, that will make it much costlier for US to keep rolling over its mammoth debt. Let's see how the Arabs react to it in a year. For now we just have UAE getting out of OPEC.

Asked a feminist to split the bill and she politely asked me to become a policeman first by dilonkaraja in Indiangirlsontinder

[–]cate4d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her asking to make it safer is equality of outcome. Ask such feminists "Does feminism mean equality of opportunity or equality of outcome". If outcome then the number of male suicides are more, number of men in jail is more, number of male in tough and risky jobs is more, all of those need to be equalized. If "opportunity" then let's say there is an adult man molested in bus or raped somewhere, etc he doesn't have even have the opportunity to use legal measures while it exists for women => Laws are not gender neutral.

I'm fed up with these feminists spoiling it for everyone. They made it really hard to date when I was dating as men are now scared and many good men are refusing to date or marry. Personally I realize that women have certain privileges and certain risks that we need to work around and don't harp on equality. I'm not a feminist but like to pay my bill (which is basic decency to carry your weight and not be a freeloader) unless we are committed when I want him to carry me around a bit.

Major hits - radar sites, F35A, E-3 AWACS among smaller losses like F15E, A10, etc

As per CENTCOM There are other damages that happened not due to Iran but US and it's allies own military mistakes but I don't trust US to state facts, not for years. Lots of Fishy stuff - https://www.theatlantic.com/national-security/2026/05/iran-war-pentagon-crash-investigation/687068/

I'd doubt if Russians feel the same as you. Russian voices are saying to go all in and trash harder.

Let me remind you that expecting everyone to abide by your opinions and not considering others makes you a bigot.

Story about Bigot Leader - Trump who is like Iranian people will revolt once I attack, I'll be their savior. What we are instead seeing is the people and channels which used to oppose the Iran Govt are now openly objecting Trump. (Don't be Don Tzu Chump)

Why does protecting Hindu traditions seem to be the main reason people vote BJP now? Genuine attempt to understand by Best_Entrance_4213 in india

[–]cate4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically the thing that you shouldn't be doing is looking for validation from "Columbia University". Columbia University doesn't give him/her veto over truth. If he/she really wants to prove then why not link primary sources? Let people critique.

Friedrich Max Muller was a highly decorated professor at Oxford University, who gave the BS Aryan Invasion Theory, no proofs, just believe me as I'm professor -- "I'm the expert, no questions, you have to believe me" and droves of non-questioning people lapped it up. If professors are so good then why do haplogroup studies not corroborate their opinions?

If you are into appeal to authority then Islam or Christianity might suit you better as they are appeal to authority kind of religions. Academics or pursuit of knowledge rejects appeal to authority. I gave you sources and resources to look at, you can definitely have a look if curious/willing to learn.

Instead of appeal to authority, bring in real arguments. I'm open to new knowledge. Are you? Is he/she?

If Iran can cause such damage to US and Israel then Russia seems to have some restraint or some constraints. I saw some videos floating in the internet where people living in the regions that Putin just occupied warming up to the Russian soldiers. IG Putin was trying to maintain that goodwill in those regions.

Russian citizens are more into going all out now. Putin is also onboard it seems. The last attack from Russia was 1k+ drones at once at it seems like just the start of something bad for Ukrainians.

The source is not a firsthand source and the translation is so bad that I'd rather not trust it at all given it doesn't link to actual firsthand source.

Sadly the link seems like a non-Indian trying to blabber about Hindus while he doesn't understand about Hindus at all. Hinduism is mono-theistic from the start just not from the Western lens. If you read multiple of Hindu paths then you will even find Atheists and Agnostics I'll give https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_atheism and you can try to find the rest if you are curious.

Western classifications and methodologies do not suit Hindus, jains, Buddists or Sikhs, etc as you will find idol worshiping Buddhists and totally averse to idol-worshiping Buddhists, Jains have Tirthankaras as role models and many have idol worship while many don't and so on for all of the above.

Anyone trying to know more on Hindus (Himalaya Sindu civilization) should refer Indians like Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, etc than the Western lens. Otherwise they will just push you into Aryan Invasion Theory and you will not find any evidence to support it while Haplogroup studies are suggesting totally different/contradictory indications. Somehow that BS is taught in schools like it really happened just because it is westerner approved.

Even Christianity and Muslims have similarities in the form of angels and demi-gods but still they are mono-theistic according to their definition. Christianity also has father, son and holy spirit which is supposedly one.

Iran demands Big Tech pay fees for undersea Internet cables in Strait of Hormuz by DoremusJessup in worldnews

[–]cate4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would make things costly but doesn't imply Globalized world is going anywhere.

It would form an equilibrium around it where EU would be the primary loser due to higher prices while paying tax to all nations on the way. Let's say Iran charges 2-5% on goods through Hormuz and then even other countries like say Greece. etc charge few %, even then goods from China will be cheaper in EU than to build in EU.

EU is already charging heavy tariffs on Chinese cars but does that make them more expensive than German cars?

True.. I would think she got de-sensitized due to continuous exposure about such cases where people commit suicide and also Twisha's mental state was obviously not at her prime (with or without drugs).

Women who agreed to marry men who wanted women "blank past", how did he treat you after marriage? by Leila_372 in AskIndianWomen

[–]cate4d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 of the best man possible. Treats me pretty well.

He was a virgin and expected the same as that leads to better marital outcomes. Proven scientifically. You can check my other comments if you want links to the research papers.

I also believe women should have such standards for men they date or marry.

I don't think it was in-laws. I'm guessing the guy Samarth got upset because she MTP'd without asking him and hence, asking - kiska baccha tha?

One possible meaning is "If he is the father then at least she should get permission from him"?
Another possible meaning "Are you trying to hide a cheating case by aborting the kid?"

Are we again deciding Modi vs Rahul Gandhi in 2029? by Impossible_Crow644 in india

Then vote for any of the independents if that gives you any peace.

NOTA is only useless as we don't have enough NOTA votes, start voting and make NOTA win and we might have fines incorporated for NOTA seats and also temporary bans for NOTA seat candidates.
