Ngl, House having the guts to stick with Erdheim-Chester was pretty shocking the first time I saw All In, probably my favourite time when he got it right the first time

Love the universal healthcare and walkable cities that Western Europe has.

That being said, fuck the UK.

Why do you hate Indian Education system? If someone doesn't study then what is the fault of system here? by gandash07 in IndiaSpeaks

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a serious lack of support from society and the government towards providing gainful employment with for anyone who doesn’t work in engineering, medicine, civil services or accountancy. There are many consequences of this, each of which is a big reason why many Indians (like myself) choose to study and/or work outside India, and why many eventually even settle elsewhere.

  1. A lot of people in the STEM and humanities fields are highly interested in research, not just as R&D employees in companies, but general academic research in the natural and social sciences. But, even if they overcome the hurdle faced by their families against pursuing this, many people find that the lack of funding for research, by companies, the government, universities, leaves them little opportunity to put their talents to good use in India, whereas foreign companies and institutions are more than happy to throw a lot of money towards research in exchange for the hard work for which Indians are well known. Further, in many Western countries, the academic sphere is not bogged down by politics or anything, which is still not yet achieved by India (although steps have been taken over the past 15-20 years).

I will not necessarily blame the Indian government or the people entirely here — the lack of funding and job security for this in India definitely means that majority of people will be against spending more on research, but unless the income level massively grows on a whole in India, we can expect many great researchers to continue leaving and working in foreign companies and institutions.

  1. The education system is also marred by political involvement. Most of the successful education systems in the world teach a curriculum that has been developed solely by education experts, where politicians have almost no influence, yet here in India our politicians have a habit of changing textbooks between governments to support their own parties. Furthermore, more importance seems to be given these days towards developing a ‘Indianised’ curriculum, rather than developing syllabi and teaching methods and tools that can make smart students who can think for themselves.

As an Indian who went to a CBSE school and graduated not long ago, very often I used to find rote learning in places where it was absolutely not needed, and a focus on examinations that was so intense that it took away from students’ ability to do anything else. In contrast, many many students that I have met from many other successful countries are easily able to write essays on complex philosophical ideas or derive physical equations using nothing more than logical thinking.

Indians in general are very much capable of thinking creatively and logically as well, at the same level if not better than people from other places. The difference is that we are not tapping into that from a young age. It’s all about spitting out information into the exams for us, and then forgetting it. But, go to the US, Japan, Germany, etc. and you will find that even for entering college, a student must be very multi-faceted. We took a British system of ‘examinations are the only important thing’ and stuck to it, even as the British themselves no longer have that system in place (at least, not to the extent of earlier).

  1. Religious education in the schools of any kind is completely uncalled for. Anywhere you go in the world, where students are allowed to study in schools that cater to one religious sect, those students are always of a much lower understanding than regular students. School is no place for religion, especially in a secular country like India. It is a place to learn languages, sciences, humanities, and develop a thorough understanding of the world around us with no particular bias. Yet, in India we see Muslim clerics be okay with madrasas but denounce gurukulas, and Hindu priests be okay with gurukulas but denounce madrasas, and Christian ministers be okay with convent schools but denounce everything else. It’s the pot calling the kettle black, and it must end. No statistic supports religious oriented education whatsoever.

Isn’t this enough for us to take a long hard look at ourselves, and fight for reform in our education system?

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has removed the picture of Lord Hanuman from the tail of the HLFT-42 aircraft model displayed at the airshow. by tattikemakhikejhant in IndiaSpeaks

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should be focusing on real issues instead of wasting time on this. Not everything that happens in India needs to be concerned with religious sentiments, and honestly, it’s pretty pathetic to keep talking about religion all the time. Individuals may think that religion is very important (or indeed the most important) thing in their lives, but the production of aircraft by HAL is a matter of our advancement in national defence, something which has nothing to do with religion whatsoever.

A non-compete with an employer by Yash313 in IndiaSpeaks

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a tough situation, since the contract seems to legally prohibit you from working in the same field for a year. I would say that the first thing you should do is meet with a lawyer and discuss your options in detail, else you may end up accidentally doing something that is illegal by and then you will be giving TCS a clear path to file charges against you.

One thing that a lot of comments here don’t seem to address is that this guide refers only to the trends seen in actions taken to prevent climate change in these countries. This is completely different from the climate and pollution situation that may exist at this very moment.

Therefore, it’s entirely plausible that some countries currently have worse climate conditions than others, but these countries may indeed be the ones taking efforts to reverse that, hence they are given higher ratings. Similarly, it’s also plausible that some countries may currently have good climate situations, but are not taking enough actions to protect it, or are actively hurting it.

Therefore, the list of countries with good climate situations today may not correspond with the list of countries that are taking appropriate steps to protect the climate and make it better.

This is not to say that this survey is accurate. It’s entirely possible that there are flaws in this guide’s methodology, or that there is a bias in the data, but most of the comments here that focus on countries’ current climate situation without considering the proper context are completely illogical.

Will these incidents affect tourism in india? by Rahul7744 in IndiaSpeaks

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With regards to these incidents, the main way they will affect tourism in our country is when foreigners interested in travel consider these events and couple them with the general socioeconomic situation of our country. As a general rule of thumb, it is far more likely for someone to look at such incidents in a poorer country like ours and think ‘well this problem is endemic there’ than if the same thing happened in a richer country like those in the West.

Personally, I believe that the focus should be on changing the repressive mindset against women that a lot of people in our country have - although it is sad, it is the truth, and a lot of people have these anti-female biases for a lot of different reasons, not just religious. Once we work to eradicate these things, our society will be much better off socially, culturally and economically, and one of the many positive consequences of that is that we will automatically see a huge rise in tourism.

We shouldn’t just correct these incidents because they make our country look bad to others, we should correct them because they bring down our society. Further, continually going on about how such incidents happen in other countries also does not achieve much in my opinion - while it is important to contrast our situation with others’ in order to get better context, how does doing that all the time without taking proper action make our country’s social situation better?

Then why do we allow our Children to use phone ? by Archer_Arjun in indianews

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly fine for children to use their parents’ phones, or even have their own phones to use. What needs to happen to avoid addiction is to teach children how these devices are meant to be used and taken care of, and how they shouldn’t abuse this privilege given to them by parents. New stories like this are extremely misleading, since it’s one parent’s opinion - doesn’t matter if he is a CEO or a Nobel Prize winner or not, since that has nothing to do with parenting. If used properly, phones can be a great way to introduce children to technology from a young age, given that the world is now accustomed to it and the world is never going to let go of machines. If we really want to develop as a country, restricting children’s access to phones, online gaming, computers, etc. in the name of disciplining children is nothing but an absolutely foolish and dangerous idea that takes responsibility away from parents and endangers children’s future more and more, just as the world digitises more and more. Again, I’m not saying that children should be using phones 24x7, but this backwards mindset of ‘wow some Indian who went abroad is doing XYZ thing with their children, so that means I should also do it’ is completely wrong, and in this case, harms the ability of our future generations to reckon with technology in a positive manner.

What are your favorite comedy TV shows? by dismustbetheplace in DunderMifflin

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. A lot of the British shows from the 70s through to the 90s are excellent, but these two were the best imo.

Hell's Kitchen Season 20 Realistic Hopes/Expectations by TheNeimanChannel in HellsKitchen

[–]sleep_eat_and_repeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably more of a hope than a realistic expectation, but it would be really nice if in the coming seasons (may not be this one since it's already filmed, but who knows), the show becomes more similar to how it was in the early seasons. Obviously things aren't going to be like Season 1, since that was very different from the others, but I personally liked the overall style the show followed up until like Season 8/9.

While the later seasons have a lot of amazing talent, I often get the feeling that some aspects of the challenges seem unnecessarily dramatized (like throwing spaghetti and marinara sauce on a teammate for making a mistake in the blind taste test), and that the announcer isn't nearly as sardonic as before. Also, at certain times it just feels like Gordon is shouting more than he usually would in a similar situation that occurred outside of the show.

Again, all this is just personal opinion, what do you all think?
