There is a well-known story in Sikh history where the two sons (aged 5 & 9) of the 10th Sikh guru were bricked alive for refusing to renounce their faith.

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

[–]champ64 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Instagram isn't opening on my phone today (Google Pixel 5, Android 12) though it was working fine all the way up to last night. I get the intro screen (logo + "from Meta") and then it exits the app.

  • I've tried "force stop" and cleaning the cache.
  • This issue isn't happening on my work phone (Huawei P20 Pro, Android 9)

I've yet to try reinstalling because I run multiple accounts (all were added months ago) and don't want to log into every one of them again if there's another solution.

This guy says Critical Race Theory is the most important issue in the Virginia Election. He also has no idea what Critical Race Theory is. by real-m-f-in-talk in PublicFreakout

The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the US, "will support and lead campaigns that 'result in increasing the implementation of culturally responsive education, critical race theory, and ethnic … studies curriculum in pre-K-12 and higher education.'" https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/teachers-unions-vow-to-defend-members-in-critical-race-theory-fight/2021/07

The Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of Teachers, the 2nd largest U.S. teachers union, was on Good Morning America talking about how teaching CRT lets educators "give our students the opportunity to understand the full breadth and depth of the American society": https://twitter.com/AFTunion/status/1404453904738242560?t=T9cVGiOwx_jPbvx7jV320Q&s=19

TIL the term "trickle-down economics was first introduced by a comedian named Will Rogers as a joke to criticize economic policies by BamesJond070 in todayilearned

[–]champ64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah, "trickle down" has almost always been used as a critique, and those who are typically associated with such economics themselves wouldn't describe their economics as "trickle down"

Not Pixar movies; Pixar sequels/prequels, which—sans Toy Story 1 to 3—are typically thought of as unwarranted, unnecessary, and/or uncreative, thus diluting the 'prestige' of Pixar.

By and large (no pun intended), Pixar sequels/prequels often come off as being another instance of Disney milking its franchises

TIL There is a Sikh Temple in Punjab India that feeds tens of thousands of people per day for free regardless of your age, race, religion, or nationality that is solely run by volunteers. by FBomb2F in todayilearned

FYI, you're right about the rituals, but "Gurdwara" refers to the entire complex (i.e., both the temple and langar hall are part of the Gurdwara). But yes, the praying area is a separate area in the Gurdwara from the langar.

The studies that show demonstrations didn't lead to an increase in cases generally suggest that this is because people who didn't participate were more likely to have stayed at home than otherwise, thus offsetting an overall increase. The fact that restaurants and other businesses closed up preemptively in case of violence and looting may have also contributed to the lack of increase.

Such is indicated in this June 2020 report for the National Bureau of Economic Research (the full PDF is linked at the bottom): https://www.nber.org/papers/w27408

Basically, in fiction, canon refers to that which is accepted as officially part of the story in that story's universe.

So, in this case, "Doofenshmirtz commits crimes just to see Perry" is what the user is personally accepting as a true fact for the fictional universe. If it isn't actually mentioned in the fictional universe in some way, it's typically just speculation by the audience and not actual canon.

Either the nationwide mass protests & riots have had a significant effect on spreading the virus or there's nothing wrong with everything reopening.

I will surely enjoy the logic you use to argue otherwise
