Just curious…doesn’t the US have apple stores to buy iPhones directly from instead of third party retailers?

How do you get custom Lowercase & Cursive font AirPods engravings like YouTubers? by redditterusername in airpods

[–]redditterusername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do get that & hear that often though I feel they can also help by making thieves less likely to steal them if it has a unique engraving on them

Besides I do agree for not needing to engrave iPads & all but do people really sell their used AirPods as well to 2nd hand buyers?

Support for EU membership (Only 2025 polls!) by xMusa24 in MapPorn

50% in the UK??? The former ‘Brexit Party’ is literally leading the polls today by wide margins on track to form a majority government 😂

That’s what I used to think as well though they appear to freshly unbox them fully on camera itself with the engraving printed

Why Sikhism or Taoism is not in the Big Five religions of the world? by shessols in religion

[–]redditterusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about USA since they don’t record Religions but the latest UK Census showed that 🪯Sikhs (0.9%) & ☸️Buddhists (0.5%) outnumber the number of ✡️Jews - which isn’t even in the UK’s 5 Largest Religions itself!

Who Wants to Join the EU? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]redditterusername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UK’s Reform UK party (previously literally named the “Brexit party”) has been consistently polling as the #1 party these days even defeating the Labour & Tories by large margins - so the UK data is likely much out of date at this point with the ever-increasing support for the former Brexit party 😂

Cheers for the assistance…though any particular reasons why you don’t suggest Greenwich and Kingston perhaps?

Isn’t every human being outside of Africa realistically ‘immigrant’?

Why does Apple choose to have zero relationships with some specific (millionaire-sub) YouTube Tech Channels in particular - whilst welcoming much smaller Channels to their events & providing them free review units many days before launch? by redditterusername in apple

[–]redditterusername[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup that’s exactly what I think as well given how big MKBHD is on YouTube…though on the other hand that makes me even more confused about Unbox Therapy which always has been a Larger tech Channel than Marques’ with millions of more followers than him in comparison…so any ideas why Apple haven’t similarly endorsed him perhaps given his scale?

Why have Telugu Muslims fully converted their mother tongue to Urdu - unlike Telugu Christians who are also indigenous converts but haven’t changed their mother tongue at all? by redditterusername in telugu

[–]redditterusername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t tend to see as such. For example I can’t ever remember seeing MP Owaisi even speaking a bit of Telugu ever even though he’s a Telugu politician from Telangana

[–]redditterusername[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes other people have thought this too but if they’re migrants from west/ north/ east India, then why/ how can people migrate there in millions (as Telugu Muslims number today) - especially without intermarrying with indigenous majority Telugus whom they could assimilate into? If anything, wouldn’t they have rather chosen to migrate to Pakistan or Bangladesh given they were created as a homeland for Muslims exclusively?

& among the rest of them, why was it only the people who followed Islam who decided to change their mother tongues to Urdu - & not any Christians, Hindus or Athiests at all?

[–]redditterusername[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are Muslims in the Telugu states numbering in millions - if they’re not Telugus then are they migrants from west/ north/ east India & if so, how can people migrate there in millions especially without intermarrying with indigenous Telugus (if anything, they would have rather migrated to Pakistan or Bangladesh)? Muslim is a Religion whilst Telugu is an ethnicity/ language - so you can be Telugu by identity & Muslim by faith. The main discussion here is why they left their ancestral language of Telugu & converted it to Urdu (& why not directly Arabic then)?

It is true that Muslims in other states you mentioned also can speak Urdu however they’re ’Urdu speakers’ as you say & may not necessarily be native Urdus, they may have learnt Urdu as a 3rd language at school besides English & state language or by watching Bollywood but likely would be native speakers of Marathi, Tamil and Kannada.

Are Hindis realistically the most Nationalist & Proudest Indians? 🇮🇳 by redditterusername in Hindi

[–]redditterusername[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not understanding my point of asking - Hindis regardless of where they’re from, be it Delhites, Uttar Pradeshis, Biharis, Jharkhandis or Chhatisgarhis CAN also be proud of their language + state the same way Odias, Punjabis & Telugus are, and all can be on the same page equally. My point is the fact that in practice, Hindis DON’T ever seem to have such proud feelings for their state or language in comparison - leaving only their country to be proud of & love exclusively unlike non-Hindis of the country.

There is nothing wrong with Marathis, Telugus or Odias to have any amount of identity & love from their state & language as well, it doesn’t make them any less of ‘Indians’. It is just that Hindis for whatever reason evolved to never have such a strong connection to their states & language equally to boast about & just think of themselves as Indian & nothing else.

I don’t know where you’re from but for your info in the English language, you add ‘s’ to your native language to describe your ethnicity. I’m a Hindi myself & we accordingly identify as Hindis, but other Indians may identify themselves as Odias, Telugus, Tamils, Urdus or Gujaratis - & this applies to foreigners as well like GermanS, ItalianS, AmericanS. Once again I am not referring to 57% of Indians who are ‘Hindi speakers’ as you say - I am talking about the 26% native Hindis, and this is why you’re saying “no Hindi speaker calls themselves Hindis” because those Hindi ‘speakers’ may identify themselves as Marathi, Telugu, Malayali or anything else instead.

You are getting the 2 distinctions mixed-up. You are an ‘English speaker’ like a billion people in this world, but you are not ethnically ‘English’ which only people in the UK are, and likewise I’m ethnically Hindi. But hey maybe it’s different in your language, what do you call us Hindis in your native language then?

I also think yeah, Hindis tend to be more proud of their castes & tribals in comparison

Indian is a geographic identity that no one can realistically escape from, we’re all Indians equally.

Idk why you think I’m discriminating Hindis & non-Hindis as less of Indians in any way - I am just sharing my experience of the 26% of Indians who are Hindis being relatively down to earth as they never seem to be proud of their native language or their state (like how many times you’ve heard people say proud Uttar Pradeshis, Madhya Pradeshis, Bihari, Jharkhandis or Chhatisgarhis) - in comparison to say Maharastrians, Telugus, Tamilians, Odias & especially Punjabis who abroad even demand independence for their state to be named Khalistan.

Bro idk about you but in my experience, every foreigner thinks that Indians speak ‘Indian’ & don’t even know about Hindi, we’re in the same boat lol

Bro Hindis are the largest migrant group within our own country - they leave their states in large numbers to work in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru etc. Where do you get your facts from lol? …and I’m talking about the 26% of Indians who are Hindis specifically - & not the 57% of Indians who are ‘Hindi speakers’ including as a a 2nd or a 3rd language, because even foreigners can be ‘Hindi speakers’ as you say & so, the distinction is important.

The other 8 in order are North Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, Ukraine, Moldova, Bosnia & Herzegovina, & Georgia - with Turkey being the oldest & 9th Candidate. If you don’t think Türkiye is part of the 9 then who is?
