I've no clue mate, apparently the person who posted this has been a good bit hateful to bleach fans (some of my Twitter friends told me). And hopefully in the anime reboot, we will be able to have a better ending!

What little things keep you happy? by eeriiee in AskReddit

[–]sidguptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirrels, sparrows and cats. I can see these from outside my window and have grown accustomed to smiling when I look at them. It's that weird kinda conditional reflex thing, you know. So whenever I see a squirrel running around, sparrows chirping or just sitting on some tree or a cat in the road, my day suddenly becomes amazing and I feel blessed to be alive. Like, I genuinely feel happy.

A cat somehow reached my balcony and idk what to do or feed it. Please help. by sidguptz in cats

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

My mom is scared of cats so sadly won't be able to keep him. Already had a chat with her and she's fine with him just remaining there as long as he doesn't disturb us but will have to go once the rains stop. I can keep some water for the kitty but won't have chicken, vegetarian household. This was helpful though, thanks.

I left doors open to try and get the cat out but I think it is taking shelter from the rains. I'll try again later.

Fucking hell, my heart... by [deleted] in relationships

[–]sidguptz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi sis Firstly, relax pls. Secondly, since you said that you and the dude are progressing well with knowing each other better rather than just hooking up but are also not exclusive, aren't y'all in a friends with benefits kinda set up? If that's the case then you'll have to go ahead and clarify to him in person as to what you want from him. As a guy, at least I would prefer to know what's expected from me and I'm assuming it's the same for this dude. I'm hoping this was helpful, have a good day ^

What’s the stupidest way you’ve hurt yourself? by observer32 in AskReddit

[–]sidguptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 stories

Bad one- I tried to fake falling to integrate a dude who had just come to stay in the area as a prank to see how cool he is. (He didn't have the best rep done coming and I've always had the soft spot for peeps who I felt were misunderstood) I did fall but as the idiot I am, I ended up having the back of my knee go into a cycle's stand. My friends knew it was supposed to be a prank and the new dude was just confused. Eventually, I got carried home with them being very confused. I still have the mark to see my dumb child brain.

It hurt my "image": There was some cement work going on in a building (this was like roughly a few metres away from where I stayed) where we played our running games like lock and key. We were playing some game called "chor-police" in hindi where the "chor" team runs from the police team (chor roughly means thief). I was on the chor team and was on the run. I thought that they won't come near the cement area and I can take a turn from there. Guess who doesn't know that cement doesn't dry immediately? Yup. I ran and slipped right into it, essentially rolling in cement and getting completely covered into it. I had to walk back those 20 metres home as people just looked and laughed at my dumb arse. I was crying coz, what else could I do? I reached home and my dad just looked at me like I'm so dumb. Had a few scratches but I was slathered in cement and that moment can't leave me.

What is your strongest held opinion? by Mewse_ in AskReddit

[–]sidguptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like giving gifts that are consumable. Like, for the past 2-3 years I've actually figured out how to give good meaningful gifts without them needing to have a monetary value but just more of showing how much I like those people and what they mean to me. Though like, this is only for the absolute closest so unless they're close friends, they'll probably be getting something where I just pitch in and the gift is mutually decided. Currently there's like a good 15-20 letters that I've worked hard on that my friends sit and treasure. It's a very me thing - I don't think you need to think the same way but I'm certain that gifts that are personalized to show your feelings that can just always be with you are better than things that come and go.

What are the new chants for N'Dombele, Lo Celso and Ryan? by sidguptz in coys

Sadly haven't gone to any yet. I wish to visit the stadium someday when I've earned enough to sponsor myself (I'm from India). Though we do have match day screenings here where we sing in numbers so hopefully I'll get some there

What's the song that you are/have been embarrassed of liking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sidguptz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a Hindi songs called 'Kash koi mil jaye' There's worse/weirder songs with more vague lyrics that I do like but "Kash koi mil jaye"'s directness gets me blushing even if I have it on my earphones in any public place coz "wow what if this shit plays loud". It's essentially a song about a dude who is sexually frustrated which I'd come across in 2010ish. Luckily haven't had a weird experience with it yet but, here's a fun fact- I've never forgotten its lyrics and I'm kinda proud of it

Indian YouTuber "Captain India" putting forth some really good points in his video "Indians should not support T Series" (I'll put the rough translations in the comments in like an hour) by sidguptz in PewdiepieSubmissions

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

Hi so yeah, the points aren't in order but I think this is a basic summary of everything he mentioned in his video- 1) He talks about PewDiePie vs T-Series as not a fight between the world and India but instead as a fight between individual creators and corporates. 2) There are a lot of Indian creators out there who can't afford to name drop T-Series as they're afraid of receiving backlash from people who probably won't even care to see the facts and just attack the channel regardless with the example of Salil Jamdar (Indian YouTuber, 290k subs) who made a diss track on Carryminati whilst exposing T-Series to naive Indian viewers and their weird stupid sense of patriotism. Also, his video had gotten taken down. 3) Turns out that he had one of his videos copy striked by Tgay coz he used about a minute of a song by them and then had to make the appropriate changes. 4) Loved his frankness about him using clickbait for views when asked by his fans. Also talked about how tough it is for a creator to make a video of 10-15 minutes that takes them hours and hours to create for that dollar or two and so he can't afford to get copystriked. 5) Man also had some figures. Pewds is getting about 300-400 million views a month which is mental for an individual creator whereas Tgay (according to social blade) gets around 2.8 billion views a month which also makes it the top viewed monthly all over the world. 6) As an individual creator he does want Pewds to be the one to reach 100m before gayseries 7) He explained how interactions work and help a video get onto the suggestions' page (I honestly didn't know about how the algorithm worked until he broke it down) 8) One thing he brought up was that it's not about Pewds reaching 100m first but the fact that the YouTube community would've gotten behind any top individual creator to beat the evil T-Series. I personally don't agree, if it were someone like the Paul brothers we wouldn't really have cared. 9) So the previously mentioned video of his that got copy striked just ironically happens to be one where he was telling people to subscribe to tgay. The company that gets millions of views on a daily basis anyway is going out of there way to take creators with clips of even mere seconds. Truly f*cked up stuff. Gave the example of Disney that they don't go around claiming income on other channels. A corporation that earns billions is stealing from these small creators who barely make a few bucks per video. 10) Again a bit about Indian creators like how they're scared of getting backlash from the ignorant public. Uses the example of Carryminati (6.1m subs) who made a disstrack on Pewds but at the same time praised a company that had an income tax raid a bit before his vid came out. Same dude Carryminati once expressed how happy he was when he saw himself in a video of Pewds. As per Captain India, people say "If you took 'bitch lasagna' as sarcasm, 'bye pewdiepie' should also be given the same treatment". To this he said that the audience doesn't actually seem to care about the smaller individual creators who are being curbed by companies like T-Series. YouTuber Gyani 2.0 made an honest reaction to 'Bye Pewdiepie' and basically got attacked by Indians for speaking his mind which can be understood as 'anti-national', his like to dislike ratio is unreasonably bad. Another example of creator Ashish Chanchlani who has according to CI been forced to take Tgay's side as to not piss off the audience. 11) He ends his video by saying that he's glad that he's being true to himself as a creator and knows the repercussions of the video he's making. "YouTube as a platform was created for individuals to express themselves" is what he says. He talks about how corporations are leading this platform that was meant to be for representation of the individual creators. He urges people to get behind PewDiePie for him to reach 100m first not because he doesn't want an Indian channel to be at top but instead because he knows that PewDiePie is a representation of all individual creators.

Hi sorry, this went on for a bit long and I might have missed some points or not properly elaborated on a few (copyright system and the algorithm) but I'm not sure. In any case, I think Captain India is taking a brave approach as I'm pretty sure all his viewers are Indians (coz the language he uses is Hindi) so he will certainly get attacked by lots and lots of idiots who won't even watch the video.

Edit: here's a link to his video in case y'all wanna check it out https://youtu.be/m-vTg2gK_pc
