It's a shame how shabbily reddit's board and u/spez (and his lackeys) have treated reddit's users and mods. They benefited enormously from free content and hours of unpaid moderation, yet they chose to throw it all away.

Indian here, so experienced with hot climate.

• Wear loose cotton clothes (long-sleeved if stepping out in the hot sun)
• Keep yourself hydrated.
• Avoid soft/ aerated drinks/ soda & coffee as they'll dehydrate you. Stick to cool water, ice chips, fresh lemonade made with water, fresh fruit juices, melons, spinach-cucumber-onion-tomato salads, yoghurt,
• Eat light.
• Stick to well-ventilated rooms with good air-circulation (fans help)
• Cold water showers to cool down
• Sweating is good. It'll cool you down. This is also why Indians eat spicy food and drink hot tea even in hottest summer. Get sweaty then take a quick cold-water rinse.
• If you have to step outside in the hot sun, umbrella, hats, caps etc are your friends.
• Wet towel on the back of the neck for a quick cool down.

ETA: When it gets so hot that we lose our appetite, then our go-to meal is to mix up cooled cooked rice with unsweetened yoghurt and a pinch of salt. its variously called yoghurt rice/ curd rice/ thayir saadam / dahi bhaath / dahi chaawal . This is an easy to make & easy to diges meal that is guaranteed to cool a person down.

thayir = dahi = curd = yoghurt
saada = bhaath = chaawal = cooked rice

Good luck.

Buckingham was hired by PAE. Amentum didn’t respond to questions from the AP. Leidos Senior Vice President Melissa Lee Dueñas said it conducts background checks on all its employees.

“Our stance on sexual harassment or assault couldn’t be more clear: we have zero tolerance for such behavior,” Dueñas said in an email. “Each case is thoroughly investigated.”

Translates to 1) We thoroughly investigate and hire sexual predators and 2) We say this b.s. to protect our jobs, actually we have zero tolerance for those who complain about sexual harassment.

The report made it clear that those in charge enable sexual predators.

WTF?! That's ecocide. It muct be punished.

The Modi govt has surpassed its own stupidity . They've officially labeled Canada an international terrorist sanctuary — “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,” in the words of the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson. I've just posted on this zine

You're forgetting the atrocities on India's Muslims, Christians, farmers, Dalits, and ,other oppressed castes.

This is the same country and the same PM who Biden dined with in WH 3-4 months back and who Macron honored & awarded Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur on Bastile day 3 months back.

Maybe now, the west will stop appeasing and coddling genocidal dictators?

pass on the message that "slavery was so beneficial that this time white people should be enslaved" and watch the whole thing die out.

In a closing address to a Russia-Africa summit in St Petersburg, he also said Putin had shown readiness to negotiate with Ukraine, and that "the other side" now needed to be persuaded.

"The President of Russia demonstrated that he is ready help us in the field of grain supply," Assoumani said. "Yes, this is important, but it may not be quite enough. We need to achieve a ceasefire."

He is acting like Putin's patsy here. The President of Rusia has caused this problem with his illegal war on Ukraine. Why should Ukraine accept a frozen conflict with Russia or accept Russian occupation of even an inch of their land? Why is he not demanding Russia, the aggressor, stop its illegal war and withdraw from Ukraine? Or demand Russia stop bmbing Odessa's ports and allow resumption of grain supply?

Why is he blaming the victimss of Putin's imperialism?

Ninety percent are young specimens that arrive without fat reserves and with empty stomachs," she said, and stressed that all samples taken have tested negative for avian influenza.

They fucking starved to death :'(

You fought the good fight as long as you could.

Of all the family values to export out of India, corruption and nepotism seem to be on top of Murthy family's list.

ps : Sunak's wife and Narayan Murthy's daughter had avoided paying taxes on her nearly $1-billion fortune. Infoys also has a history of tax issues in a number of jurisdictions, including UK.

Of course, the Pope and Vatican praise imperialism, it probably reminds them of their glory days of the Inquisition They also supported Nazism. They continue to enable and support pedophilia.

Being praised by the Pope & the Vatican is a certificate of being morally corrupt & wrong.

WTF is wrong with them?

Fuck cancer. Get well soon, Richard.

There's stupid, and then there's the Modi govt in India.

"In May, EFF released a report showing that 71 law enforcement agencies in 22 California counties — including Sacramento County — were sharing such data. The practice is in violation of a 2015 law that states “a (California law enforcement) agency shall not sell, share, or transfer ALPR information, except to another (California law enforcement) agency, and only as otherwise permitted by law.”

Forget the pot, this is a lump of charcoal calling the kettle black.

so many bigots outing themselves.

India, You'll get properly boiled tea with milk (called chai) unless you specifically ask for black/ red tea which you'll only get in Kerala (called black/kattan ) & in our NorthEastern states (called red tea/lal cha). Tea is by default served hot unless you ask for iced tea which is just tea-coloured flavoured sugar water made with a premix.

The 2nd best way to piss off an Indian is to serve tea brewed with teabags, the best to upset us is to serve tea brewed with teabags and using powdered milk.

We like our tea to be boiled with milk, water, spices, and sugar/jaggery. If you want to make our day, boil the tea with condensed milk, water, and spices and watch us beam. The spices will always be fresh and any combo of sweet cardamom, ginger, cloves, star anise, pinch of cinnamon, lemongrass, black pepper, fennel seeds,

In Kashmiti homes/ restaurants, you'll get the saffron flavoured Kehwa (no milk in this one, but lots of flavour) and the pink colored salt tea (noon chai) made with green tea leaves, milk, rock salt, cardamom, pistachios, almonds. and baking soda.

India's External affarirs Minister, Jaishankar, is a hack. His agenda, as is the agenda of rest of Modi's cabinet, is to make India's PM Modi look like a strong man and Hindu messiah fo the domestic audience, no matter what happens to India on the global stage. If any action is taken against india, hee'll scream western conspiracy against great Hindu leader Modi (he has started this), if no action is taken then he'll claim that the world is scared of the great Hindu Vishwguru (world boss/teacher) Modi.

After China invaded India's Ladakh and beat our 20 soldiers to death, built a village in Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, 'he publicly kowtowed to China and refused to take any action against it. Is it any wonder that China's official maps show the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as Chinese territory?

World leaders, including leadersof the democratic developed West, have been tunring a blind eye to both Modi's wave of violence against India's Muslims & Christians. they've welcomed him, dined him, and honoured him with state honours while Modi's Hindu supremacist govt & state-backed goons have burned & vandalised churches & mosques, destroyed Sufi shrines, burnt Bibles & Qurans, defamed, harassed, extorted, injured, imprisoned, and killed Indias Muslims & Christians.

When a lady reporter of the WSJ questioned him on India's communal violence, Modi's troll army harassed her on social media. All the US did was say a few words in her support. No other action was taken. The world treats a genocidal megalomanic with kid gloves, appeases him, and then wonders why he thinks they're all spineless?

She was taken into custody at the home of Jodi Hildebrandt, who owns a counseling business that she says teaches people to improve their lives by being honest, responsible and humble.

2 statsments down

Prosecutors allege Franke and Hildebrandt either caused or allowed someone to torture Franke’s 12-year-old son and injure her 10-year-old daughter. Both children were starved and harmed emotionally, prosecutors said.

Umm...

I post news on these atrocities here as Modi government only pays attention to internationa pressure.

I'll disagree here. IIRC, 3/4 African leaders refused to attend Putin's Russia-Africa summit, so it looks like only Putin's supporters travelled to St.Petersburg.

That is a question for the Meira Paibis to answer. Meira Paibis are composed of Meitei women. Meitei are an ethnic group and mostly Hindu. Kukis are an ethnic tribe and almost all Christian.

Since the start of this ethnic & communal violence, Meira Paibis have been encouraging Meitei youth to rape & kill Kuki girls & women.

He also wants to put a chip inside people's heads and has received approval from the FDA to conduct tests on humans.

India did that about 20 years back and for the past 9 years we've (mis)governed by violent right-wing Hindu supremacism. :(

the Communist holdout of Kerala is the only state in India where the BJP does not have a foothold.

He wasn't being an idiot, he was committing crime.

When we laugh at him, you minimize how dangerous he was & is. He stole classified docs, probably sold state secrets, and endangered lives of US agents.

The city will also be put in lockdown for the 3 days of the summit. Schools, colleges, govt and private offices will be shut. Daily-wage labourers, vegetable vendors, and street hawkers will have to go hungry because Modi wants to present a Delhi that doesn't exist. What will happen to anyone needing urgent medical care or an ambulance in the city is anyone's guess.

G20 world leaders travelling to Delhi will be supporting this charade, this curtailing of people's rights, to pander to the Hindu supremacist dictator.

tl;dr : They survived.

"Fuck around, find out" - Lincoln

Why would they care? They don't care for any one's life, they only care about punishing women and denying them their human right to agency.

Anti-choice work to deny women the human right to decide what happens to their own bodies which is dehumanising. When women are stripped of their right to agency, then men will have the power to control women's bodies. Men will get to decide what women do, what they wear, who they meet, where they go, when & how often they get pregnant. Much like what happens to domesticated animals and slaves.

Life without liberty is slavery, and turning women into slaves is the anti-choice goal. so why they care about maternal mortaity?

Story of the punk bar bartender and nazis

based on @iamragesparkle;s tweets

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

Delhi is India's national capital and its security and police report directly to the Union home ministry headed by Hindu supremacist BJP's Amit Shah, who is 2nd only to Modi.

Previously these armed and violent Hindu suprmacist mobs used to target Muslims during their Friday prayers, now they've expanded to target Christians.

he's a pimp and wants other men to be pimps too.

Representatives from YouTube and Meta also told her they worried that removing hateful influencers would physically endanger the firms’ employees in India.

And yet these ultra-powerful mega-wealthy organizations did not raise the issue with the US gov or the Indian govt to ensure safety of their employees for adhering to corporate standards nor did they shut shop in India till the Modi govt guaranteed the safety of their staff. these SMs know modi needs them to spread his hate-filled agenda.

X/ twitter is partly owned by Islamic UAE, yet they let Hindu supremacists say the vilest Islamophobic comments, post vile acts of violence against Muslims. So much for Islamic ummah.

To this day, trying to get an Islamophobic a/c down on any of the SMs mentiond is an act of patience and oftentimes futility.

tl;dr: A counter-terrorist operation has been launched in several Russian regions, as well as in Moscow as preparations are being made for the capital’s siege by the Wagner Group forces that rebelled against Russia’s top military command - Ukraine’s defense intelligence,

A. Pointing out acts of nepotism and tax avoidance is not racist.
B. The comment was on his in-laws, their firm, and their daughter's values.

Sunak's British values haven't stopped his wife & his in-laws from tax avoidance and from profiting via nepotism, to which he, the PM of UK, is at best a passive participant and at worst actively involved.

Where's the pro-life crowd at?

comfort it :P

men will apparently just be men.

this thinking removes the sexual harasser's & rapist's responsibility for their crimes and moves it to their gender/DNA.

When criminal conduct is enabled, crime will escalate.
