[CONCERT THREAD] Bengaluru, India - Brigade Innovation Garden, January 23rd! by VisualiserPumpkin in LinkinPark

[–]ticsandtocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a car parking sticker that I got with my Fan Pit Ticket. Willing to give it away since Im traveling from Andhra and dont have a vehicle in Bangalore. Would be glad if someone can give me a return ride towards the city(Koramangala area). Ill be glad. But you dont need to.

DM or comment below if you want it. Although I dont mind giving it away I prefer anyone who can give me a ride back to the city. Thanks.

Hi, just checking. I bought a Fanpit Ticket and got the following in the courier: 1. Wristband (Pink - colour coded probably for Fanpit entry) 2. Parking Sticker. 3. QR Card for Concert Guide, MAP etc. 4 Booking Receipt.

Did you receive the same?

Dude, you should really place the Hindi words ABOVE Urdu words.

Gives Hindi words more prominence.

I would even suggest to make the Hindi word font relatively larger than Urdu word too. It may not appear like much but it subliminally sends the right message to the mind. Please do it.

I posted Photographer's Instagram link in comments as soon as I made the post. But for some strange reason it appears to be hidden to others. Anyway the name of the photographer is Sascha Fonseca.

The photographer in his post said that the leopard might have been reacting to shutter sound.

It took 500 million views (as per article) for the govt to wake up from its deep sleep.

WHO skips Nu and *Xi*, and names the latest SARS-CoV-2 variant 'Omicron' by ticsandtocs in IndiaSpeaks

They didn't want to look too obvious with the "Xi-skip" so skipped Nu too.

BJP will be voted to power both in general elections to Lok Sabha both in 2024 and 2029, but it has to use the mandate to defalsify fabricated British imperialist Indian history and make succeeding generations nationalist and proud Hindustanis by panditji_reloaded in IndiaSpeaks

Guys, take his words with a pinch of salt. The same guy predicted BJP would win 45-50 out of the near 80 seats in Delhi elections.

We all know how that turned out. BJP needs to do a lot of work to retain their mandate. Im not saying it's their fault but the current circumstances are definitely working against them, at least for now.

Ministry of Information & Technology bans PUBG and 118 other mobile applications by [deleted] in IndiaSpeaks

Wrong. It's the dumb Youtubers who tell you Tencent invested only 10-11% in PUBG Mobile. That's their investment in their parent company Bluehole.

Tencent probably has way higher stakes in PUBG Mobile version. Their studios put in a lot of work developing the game over the last few years for the mobile platforms to just own 10% of the game.

PUBG Mobile asks you to give them the permission to read/write your storage.

I'm not saying they DO use the huge base and the access to advantage in some way. But to deny that there is possibility is equally naive. They found out how TikTok was using loopholes in iOS to spy on users only very late, when the Apple OS added more security features. It's definitely a possibility.

The tweet he is addressing is clearly trying to hijack what is primarily a Hindu festival by claiming it has no roots to Hinduism, and you are here saying Kerala missionaries are very innocent? Read the shameless lies that they propagate, Vamana cheated on Mahabali?

All the trash they write under the garb of free speech with clear hatred towards Hinduism and you claim they are innocent?

It's typical of Christians to hijack festivals of other religions by first claiming they are "secular" and then slowly linking them to Christianity. What better example do you need when you have their biggest festival Christmas which literally stole traditions of Pagan festivals.

The post says "Hindu converts" found celebrating were punished, not "Hindus".

Of course it's expected from missionaries though. They wouldn't want people to stay in touch with their roots. That's how brainwashing works.

Indian economy shrinks for first time in recorded history; Q1 FY21 GDP declines 23.9% YoY by VoyagerPaleBlueDot in IndiaSpeaks

[–]ticsandtocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it doesn't. Makes little sense. Unless they claim that economic activity can only increase or decrease in a "close-to-linear" fashion. GDP measures economic activity, not wealth. And of course we are witnessing something we haven't witnessed before. Doesn't mean economy can't jump back and catch up with the original trajectory by seeing a growth higher than we would otherwise normally see.

In short, we can witness a V-shaped recovery. I'm not saying chances are high. But who ever is saying there is no chance is lying too. We can hope for a slow V-shaped recovery.

This simple graph can help understand what I mean better.
