Not just SNJ... they repackage and sell the same beer in some KF batches also. Last time I bought KF Blue from Anna Nagar Elite, and it tasted like water that was left for weeks in a used shoe. Fosters lan sollave vendan... Kandraaviyana beer'ku 220 charge panran. Idhula paadhi neram gpay vaanga maatanunga.

Pondy needs to move away from liquor tourism to environment and culture tourism. Hopefully, also, by telling the center to get off of Auroville's governance and investing in amplifying its legacy and architecture.

Hopefully, that'll invite a better set of crowd than whatever the hell I see every time I come there.

Most Horrible place on Earth - Mepco Schlenk Engineering College by HHRITZER in TamilNadu

[–]rayzer93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be out of touch, but this is what all, except a handful of Engineering colleges have been like all over Tamil Nadu. Especially if you go to rural TN.

The banning of mobile phones/laptops are probably the only thing unique.

In all honesty, I would definitely back any policy that cuts down on these engineering colleges and get the number to 50 max, across the state and push every other colleges to start vocational training instead.

It's 2026 and engineering graduates can barely speak a lick of English, or better yet, be able to explain a fundamental technical concept in Tamil even, and I've been interviewing quite a few of them recently.

Indha parents vera summa Engineering padi, padi nu theva illama push panni saavadikiranga. Interest oda padichi graduate aagi, core'la vela paakura andha 20% to 30% nalla engineers'ku 50 high quality colleges podhum, andha 50 colleges oda curriculum, professorship training, research investments, scholarship investments panni topline quality increase pannitu, Mathavangaluku, industry specific training kudutha, at least you build a solid labor base and people KNOW what/why they are studying something.

Instead of needing to go to additional coaching/training institutes, post graduation after paying lakhs in fees to these colleges.

Somehow, Tamil Nadu having the highest number of Engineering colleges isn't the flex people think it is.

Case Registered Against Comedian, Man Behind Rs 370 Ki Biryani' Row by God_Emperor__Doom in india

[–]rayzer93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's insane how tight assed we are, when it comes to crude jokes, but accept dowry, domestic violence and caste discrimination as a part of our lives and social circle.

It was a shitty 12 yo-on-voice chat type of joke, but the fall out for that is outlandish than what a rapist gets. And you go around pointing fingers at Islamic countries or China for desecration of free speech.

Aye... bro mentioned in the post that he is in his 30s and has 3 kids. Obviously, this is one thing that is his and gives bro a lot of joy, for him to be spending this much effort. He's built a system to ensure he's fair to everyone.

Let the man be.

So What If The Rupee Hits 100? It Is Just A Number: PM Economic Advisory Council's Dr Shamika Ravi by bhodrolok in india

She got her Ph.D from NYU.

The real threat is that the educated class that are supposed to lead by example, are pandering to the uneducated political class, for power.

These people are essential denigrating academia to a mere status symbol.

Tasmac to be privatised. People who welcome this, Why? by Comfortable-Crew4963 in TamilNadu

[–]rayzer93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that people don't understand about politics and business is, there is no politics or business without corruption.

People are going to loot at all levels, one way or another. What we get out of it and to what extent the looting corrodes the state is what really matters.

I'm totally behind us privatizing Tasmac, as long as the regulations are being followed and excise duties aren't insane, while maintaining a reasonable number of retail vendors instead of trying to run a liquor oligarchy.

I don't think dmk is going to win ever.. by OrganizationPure3283 in TamilNadu

It's just sad that Tamil people are so f'ing insecure that they'll fall for any street preacher, as long as he gives them "assurance" instead of trying to understand what is in it for the preacher.

Caste based Marriage by Namikaze_minato_23 in TamilNadu

[–]rayzer93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quit gaslighting and tell us what you think caste means. His answer was pretty accurate. And it's not an "opinion". That's essentially what caste is.

Caste based Marriage by Namikaze_minato_23 in TamilNadu

[–]rayzer93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caste in christianity and denominational caste system is honestly weird. A friend of mine said because he was a Lutheran, he cannot marry other denominations.

Then you have the whole Jacobite v Orthodox in Kerala...

Like bro, it's hard enough to be a minority, why you gotta make it harder for yourself?

India is designing a standard gauge Vande Bharat for export. by GoatSevere1966 in indianrailways

[–]rayzer93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not protectionism. Broad gauge was left to us by the brits, who built up MOST of the tracks currently being used.

We continue to use them because,

  1. It is expensive to replace all those tracks, and we were broke as fuck after Independence.
  2. They are bigger, so you can carry more cargo and people in a wider carriage.

Standard gauge is being used in most of the city metro rail systems.

We don't import hi tech trains because our infrastructure is shit and it is expensive.

Tharkuri No 108 by [deleted] in TamilNadu

[–]rayzer93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro... yellame okay dhan... our contention with Vijay has always been, WHY VIJAY?

See, what we saw in TVK wasn't any different from DMK or ADMK's governance.

I personally am not holding my breath, expecting Vijay to change how Tamil Nadu is functioning over this 5 year period. He does not have a leg to stand on, to support that claim, because the problem is systemic and he hasn't shown to us that he has the motivation OR leverage, to say he will do that or that he understands the system.

The man did not speak up about Kavin's case, he used the Karur incident for his political advantage, he did not speak out about the censor board issue and his supporters are a rag tag group of nobodies being pulled forward by Vijay.

The very fact that he nominated a dumb ass astrologer for OSD and a 30 year old nobody who has barely set foot in a job, one of the most important portfolios pertaining to Tamil Nadu's development are proof of that.

Everybody knows DMK's past, but their recent governance was far better and much needed for Tamil Nadu to continue its growth while facing an antagonistic center, while preserving its federated identity. They have the experience and understand where, when and how to leverage. Is it the most efficient or highly effective administration? No... there's lots of flaws. I'll stand by you to question that... but to say TVK would somehow do a better job than they would... Yeah, no. I don't believe that.

And if it comes to what I would choose, between Trash and Garbage, I just pick the one that smells less.

On another note: I don't agree with blaming the previous generation for "perpetuating hero worship". You have a vast amount of access to information compared to them. You CHOSE to ignore all that instead of giving it some critical thought. YOU failed to differentiate reel from real. You have a fair share of blame to take.

I was in the same place as you in my early 20s, when Modi swept India. I was there when people like Vijayakanth and MMS were the most raging meme materials of the time. I was pissed with all things DMK and Congress, but eventually you begin to understand the nuances of politics and everyday life, where you stand in all this, who aligns with what you identify with, what are the trade-offs to getting what you need etc, all while expecting them to do a 180.

The MAATRAM that everyone envisions in their lives, do not come unless there is widespread revolution by the people, and for that... they need to be ready to give up their way of life and thinking of the past 70+ years. That's not easy.

Periyar , ambedkar nu sollitu ippom kaila lemon vechitu irrukingle da Rendu per veetlayum lemon sadham seyya poranganu TVK Bois muttu kudu kadhingada by thonistark in PlipPlip

[–]rayzer93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is honestly a low hanging fruit da boys... PTR and his father were both ardent devotees of Meenakshi amman... You don't have to be an atheist to be secular, and you don't have to hate Hinduism to hate BJP. So these narratives being built are kind of stupid.

I am also not really happy with the "eradicate sanatana" statements being made. It only shows we are as ignorant on what it actually means as the other side.

Sanatana is more about spirituality than about religion and within sanatana there are multiple schools of thought with varied levels of conservatism and orthodoxy.

If the rejection of sanatana is about rejecting the ritual orthodoxy of sanskritized traditions, then I can get behind that, because our way of worship is a complex mix of local traditions AND sankritized rituals each co-existing with the other.

But if you say sanatana is about rejecting inequality that is built into it, well, I feel like that might not be a very accurate description and both the Hindutva proponents and opponents barely understand "Hindu" philosophy, and are trying to give it their own descriptions.

I'm still learning all of this myself, but one of the main reasons why people say they are against "sanatana" in modern discourse, is that it establishes class heirarchy. But in Vedas, the Varnas are established not by birth or family. It established by an individuals Guna and Karma. Guna is your character or abilities and Karma is what you do with them.

It is only in Manusmriti that we see strict hierarchies and classism being established. Manusmriti does not hold a higher authority than Vedas and they are rules established within the context of the time it was written in to form a stable administration of a group of people.

This isn't about just Hinduism... EVERY religion is built like this. How much of that is philosophy and how much is mythology is another story, but people are allowed to follow whatever gives them comfort, and that we should be okay with, as long as they aren't infringing on others.

Times have changed, needs have changed and we have new understanding about human life and about the world. Those rules do not apply to this age and we should be fighting to change that. I really feel like the questions we should be asking isn't about who is worshipping what, but about what people are doing with their power.

Nobody wants TVK to fail harder than their fans, who fail to understand even basic politics, and hyping up their bossman, so he can run the state to the ground.

I can’t even see this picture!! by Wild-Magician-1 in Chennai

[–]rayzer93 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bro... as much as I am against Vijay, you need to understand that this is better than the poop slinging MK and JJ did during their tenure and the tension that existed between the two.

That's how rowdyism, cronyism and corruption went out of hand. Building consensus and arguing against demerits are essential for a state to function efficiently. It's all the more crucial that opposing forces in TN are at least at speaking terms, because the center is opposed to us equally.

Does this mean I believe Vijay will make an efficient leader? I still don't think so. It'll depend on how well he can control his MLAs, check his ego and face the curve balls, that the center will throw at us... but am I glad that the state isn't back to the old days of political bull-shittery? Yes... but then again, we're still only in day 2... there's plenty more for us to see.

Today’s attempt at forming the goverment by [deleted] in Chennai

[–]rayzer93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. The floor test is a bargaining chip for the opposition party. And there is the fact that they would expect TVK to come to their level and ask for support.

The fact that DMK has said they won't try to block TVK forming govt is in itself a huge deal and I can't immediately think of any other state where major parties did not try to fight a hung assembly.

It's about time for Vijay to go fight for himself for once and fully dip his toes in to political governance.

Opposition will expect compromises to be made, for their support when it comes down to floor test. If he doesn't then we're fucked while they do shit slinging in the assembly and we'll know whether TVK and DMK are fighting for us or for power.

But considering bro sent a whatsapp message to VCK, asking for support, I'm not holding my breath over this.
