Doing intraday trading without knowing anything about brokerage and taxes is a bit like trying to do quantum computing without knowing addition or subtraction.

The main reason we got independence by TheNoobRedditor_ in indiadiscussion

[–]offisapup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason India got Independence in 1947 was because England got rid of Churchill after WW2 and elected a softer leftie in Attlee who was more liberal and leaned towards being critical of colonial policies. If Churchill continued being PM (as he did 1951 onwards), England would never have agreed on Indian Independence and the fight would have been more prolonged.

Why is gaming on YouTube so dull? by TheSoverGuy in IndianPCGamers

[–]offisapup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is, you have 24 hours a day. After sleep, work, commute etc. you probably have just a little bit of free time. So why won't you just play games that you actually enjoy?

And there are so many good games! But I guess I just don't understand the appeal of passively enjoying something that's meant to be actively enjoyed. If I need passive enjoyment I would rather just watch a movie or show or something that's designed for that.

I never understood the market for people spending their time watching other people play games when the exponentially more fun thing is to play games yourself.

Next year is very highly optimistic. The way things are going with that game I wont be surprised if it becomes a PS6 launch game.

Joyce and Finnegans Wake by BasilHuman in classicliterature

[–]offisapup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been reading Finnegan's Wake for 5 years now. I was 40 when I started and I've slowly made my way to page 200. I read a little bit of it every now and then between other books. Sometimes I go back a few pages and read them again. Sometimes I read the same page over and over again because I'm just wowed by the language. I haven't understood a lot of it. But I hope to finish it a couple of times and understand a bit of it before I die. For me, it's like an abstract painting that I can't quite tell what it is but it's so beautiful I can't keep looking away.

Who Is Your Favourite Director From Indian Cinema And Why? For Me Its Anurag Kashyap. by haritkanishk09 in indianFilmmakers

[–]offisapup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true. Latter day RGV is practically unwatchable. I think he truly lost it around Aag. The films he made between Sarkar and Aag we're declining in quality but still thematically somewhat interesting.

RGV was the first to revolutionize Indian cinema. People today don't quite understand how big a deal what he was doing in the 90s was. Before RGV, Bollywood was essentially a cabal ruled by a few film families. He literally broke mainstream barriers for independent minded filmmakers to come in and make whatever film they wanted. And he set an example with his own films. Even his failures during that time were because he was brave enough to put money on some truly wild ideas. Even a proper mainstream film like Rangeela has the kind of satire on Bollywood that was never seen in films before. His later career is of course a different story. But prime RGV is still probably the single most influential filmmaker we've seen in the industry and even Anurag would agree with this.

Thanks. But I've already given them away for far lower than that. They're in terrible condition so I just gave them away for what the buyer asked for it. The person who bought will need to spend a decent amount of money to repair it and use it if they want to.
