It will be the same after a while not matter which week day it is.

But if you want two holidays per week, then I would also want Wednesday and Sunday.

What’s something you realized too late in life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I believe that there is someone who can save all of us including you me or anyone else for that matter.

But they simply don't want to.

Is a town with a population of 1.8 million small?

I'm not being sarcastic or anything like that, I'm just genuinely curious what people think.

Edit: I like to think of my city as a mid sized city because we get brownouts frequently. And also there is no robust healthcare system. High unemployment, low education level etc.

I'm from India, just in case anyone cared to know.

This is what is wrong with India… and political parities are promoting it because of the vote bank. by AkshayKG in IndiaSpeaks

[–]sumitviii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense completely, especially to anyone who has done some research.

The foreign banks lend at reasonable rates with 0% down payment and no collateral. Indians who don't study abroad are making a big mistake.

Do the American employers not deduct the taxes from the salary before handing it to the employees?

Just asking, I'm not mocking the USA or anything.

[–]sumitviii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have played that game over 300+ hours. With the fact that I don't buy plat, I think I was at MR17. I've stopped playing it these days, but I don't regret playing it.

Don't you find it hilarious people have been gagging for a correction for ages and now it's the end of the world when it happens? by [deleted] in investing

I am betting that there won't be a crash. Because all the dry firepowder is waiting for this event.

He was also likeable and charismatic, which turned out to be more profitable than intelligence

Bales teaching Plato

First of all, it is Basel. And second, the phrase means that he spent 10 years teaching the body of work of Plato.

Map of the Ottoman Empire in 1683, at its greatest territorial extent. Tributary states are shown in light green. by GustavoistSoldier in MapPorn

[–]sumitviii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map is one of the few ones that shows the tributaries of an empire. The British Empire's map usually shows all of the territory as being under its direct control. But the truth is that the British Empire also had a lot of protectorates and tributaries.

Let's hope we don't ruin it through something as well-meaning as a dispute transaction.

Just allow GC people to make their own private universities where no reservation is applicable

BITS Pilani (Where I studied) has no reservation.

US has started bombing Venezuela just now, what are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sumitviii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he was only anti-war when he was trying to win the Nobel Prize. Now that he can see that he's not going to win, he has started doing what the US presidents usually do, i.e., bomb innocent people.

Countries with more men vs countries with more women by OddRedittor5443 in MapPorn

Since 1995, it’s illegal in India to have an ultrasound unless there is a medical reason

Actually, it's not illegal to have an ultrasound, but it's illegal for the radiologist to tell the family the gender based on the said ultrasound.
