> the Indian food in Britain is the best in the world Got about a billion people here who'd like to disagree. In fact, of all the crimes against humanity the British visited on India, I think that assertion might just be the worst.

I find a lot of Americans display a belief that 'democracy' can only refer to a direct democracy and 'republic' is the accurate term to refer to representational democracies, but with the implication often being that the

It's amazing how many people have swallowed the line that stopping anthropogenic global warming is mostly about individual choices when there is clear evidence to show that the very same idea has been propagated primarily by the indust

I don't know about whether this is an accurate summation of the source material, but the source material is a pretty good definition of fascism (Umberto Eco's writing on ur-fascism) http://www.openculture.com/2016&

I don't live in the US either. But this website is primarily US-focused, and most people on it readily assume the context for everything is the US, so I conform to the same habit. My anecdotal examples would be mostly middle-class fami

Most of the devices have a switch for the microphone that is supposedly implemented in hardware rather than software. And the vast majority of smart home devices do not have cameras. Granted, the ease of use of their functionality is largel

IMO the GP is being downvoted because irrespective of one's personal feelings regarding 'smart home' devices, it's difficult to see how someone could genuinely have never encountered any users of those devices (assuming

I would say between 10-20 of my friends have some variety of smart home device? Most are Alexa, with a few Google Homes. They span the spectrum from tech-savvy to the opposite.

Nope, just when I have no desire to engage with someone who believes there's a conspiracy to defame and destroy Hinduism. In my experience 'Hindu pride' is like 'white pride' in that there are little to no instances

Wow, I knew the company that scammed me recently was a lazy rip-off of some other company, but hadn't bothered finding out which. (InstallMonetizer).

Sorry, you think the (colonial) British spread the usage of the term 'Swastika' to defame Hindu culture? You are aware that the Nazis started using the swastika as part of their occultist ideology after 150 years of British coloni
