I really respect the area of Kerala and its commitment to their public. Very robust educational system, healthcare, and a focus on access to clean water. That's just from stuff I've seen and read though, I've never been to India, I'm American.

I hope the best for India's future, but it seems worrying from what I hear. I would hope for greater collaboration with China and an easing of tensions with Pakistan. India is a massively diverse place though, with multiple languages and even multiple writing scripts, so sometimes it's amazing it's a functional country at all.

Most of what I hear though is about India dominated by very right wing movements, but there's a strong history of Indian working class movements as well. I'll try to be optimistic about the future. Also as an American I am fully aware of my country's horrifying exploitation of the Indian people. The Union Carbide disaster is still the worst industrial accident in history and its impact should never be forgotten

Oh ok, that does sound promising if the regeneration works as intended. Thank you for the insightful answer Mr. WashedAnus.

Is there any advantage of this over implants? Maybe I don't understand the full scope but this seems really roundabout when I have a ceramic implant and it works fine. Maybe a regenerated tooth lasts longer?

Authoritarian is usually code for when white people don't rule a country

In authoritarian bad country, professional bowtie journalists spread racist hatred to cause dissent among the impoverished for the sake of the elite ruling class, but they are forbidden from speaking to foreign enemies

Yeah Tucker should have been thrown off the air years ago for hate speech, not just talking to a Russian. Talking to Putin is nothing compared to the years of transphobic racist drivel he's spewed. It's such a clear bias in what free press in America actually entails.

That doesn't feel right. Most of the time the game is something incredibly simple, like counting or moving blocks around, and the ad is showing someone playing it incredibly poorly. Like too poorly to be real, like they can't count to a number like six or can't move the triangle in a circle hole. I've always felt that's supposed to frustrated the viewer, who will then want to download the game to play it correctly. But by then they realize it's not even the same game that's in the advertisement.

Star Trek is one of the things I still hang onto as optimistic about the future. We can make a better world for everyone and overcome racism, capitalism, transphobia, etc. We can build something better and reach for the stars. And that's always been the message. The characters have advanced technology like ships and teleporters, but what's really advanced is how they are as people. They're curious, educated, accepting people who want to explore the universe for the sake of it.

I also hang onto the X-Men. That was also important to me growing up, seeing how the characters could come together to defend themselves against hatred. I grew up in a really conservative area so I'm always gonna be grateful to Star Trek and X-Men (and later all sorts of books) for keeping me sane as a kid
