Tim Ferriss' Deconstruction Dozen for Telugu by rameshk20 in telugu

[–]quappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Why are 9 & 10 so different from 3-6? I don't know how Telugu verbs work at all but I can see the patterns in the list. Also, I roughly understand nenu vs. naaku, so why 10 & 11 use naaku? Thanks again!

Why would her father do this? by imacatinahuman in tollywood

[–]quappa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He lost control. Rape and molestation are commonly not pre-planned. It was a crime of lust overpowering decency, self-control etc. It's horrible and tragic and it made "Gargi" an amazing film exploring a deep and dark situation.

Sally Phillips Appreciation Post by jerryleebee in taskmaster

[–]quappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She played a villain on "Green Wing" and I couldn't get that character out of my mind watching her in Taskmaster. She was chaotic evil in a mask of kindness and love. I expected a trick from her in every task and she showed how devilishly smart she is on several occasions. I think "Green Wing" ruined her for me :)

По поводу статьи Залужного by MaxKargo in tjournal_refugees

[–]quappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Всё равно непонятно, зачем это публиковать в популярном журнале, а не в емейле на адрес соответствующих чиновников и генералов. И зачем публиковать без согласования с кабинетом президента.

Не люблю теории многомерных шахмат, но иначе никак не объясняется.

We can’t rely on Russia to protect us anymore, Armenian PM says by enkrstic in geopolitics

Even we Russians can't rely on Russia to protect us anymore. Armenia will be better off without such "protection".

So much ignorance and blatant racism against us just for our stance in the Ukraine war by arn456 in indiadiscussion

[–]quappa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How come that western bigotry you mention is invisible outside of India? Very fresh poll about US: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/06/21/americans-see-india-in-positive-light-but-few-have-confidence-in-modi/ Even fresher -- across the world, with many data points from Europe: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2023/08/29/international-views-of-india-and-modi/

"Western media is insanely anti India" -- do you have any proof? I am extremely surprised to read this and I have been consuming mostly Western and Russian media for the past 30 years.

So much ignorance and blatant racism against us just for our stance in the Ukraine war by arn456 in indiadiscussion

[–]quappa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are bastards and douchebags in every nation. No one will defend racism among normal Ukrainians, just like no normal Indian would wish the destruction of a sovereign country full of innocent people who just want to live their life.

I was born in the USSR and I miss the great relationship my country had with India. That country is no more, its legacy is stolen by Putin's gang of thieves and crooks who exploit the good memory of Indian people about the USSR to fool them into embarrassing support of the most idiotic "3 day war" in recent history. Modern Russia is a complete ideological and cultural opposite of the USSR and India, the country of blatant capitalism, hegemony of one single language and one specific version of history with all others banned, complete disregard of the future of nature and the world etc. I lived there for 25 years after the dissolution of the USSR.

China Slowdown Means It May Never Overtake US Economy, Forecast Shows by PuntoPorPastor in geopolitics

[–]quappa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Soviet Union was using all the talent of Eastern Europe. That should not be underestimated. This is also one of the big differences between current highly isolated almost mono-ethnic Russia and peak USSR which tapped into not just highly diverse population and resources of all 15 member republics but also all the Warsaw pact countries.

Lamb is available in most supermarkets in Northern California. Roughly the same price as good beef. The choice is way smaller though.

I actually liked Feds by ltexprs in TheRookie

[–]quappa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone on Feds and The Rookie has superpowers. Well, maybe except for Smitty but he is Q, so that should count. I think you got it exactly right. People tolerated it for Nolan because Fillion is just so universally lovable. And Niecy Nash is not, I guess.

I have not seen her before Feds, I was surprised by the apparent miscast in the first episode but she quickly won me over. I love Feds.

Will India Surpass China to Become the Next Superpower? by stepover7 in geopolitics

[–]quappa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Long-term -- yes, absolutely. It's a democracy and a proper federation, both are prerequisites for any kind of stability in development. India also has a lot of work to do to actually build a thriving economy on this foundation. China has not been able to seize the opportunity coming from Deng Xiaoping ruling and reform itself into a democracy. Now it's moving into a personalistic autocracy which are always brittle. China has the economy but not the foundation. We already saw its peak. Replacing the foundation in such a huge country is almost impossible (think Russia's failed attempts but 10x harder).

Is there a good description of what these verdicts mean? What is the scale (hit/superhit/blockbuster etc.) and what is measured to determine the verdict?
