I mean, most nations aren't as rich as the "West" + East Asia. I come from a small town, but I still managed to do fine for myself.
I mean, of course we were shown a globe "once". My father had one at home too, though tucked away under a mountain of files and other things in his gigantic cabinet. But 99% of the time, a kid would see the world via…
At least from my own experience, the map used the most throughout school was the Mercator projection. When I first discovered that Greenland and Canada were not really that big during one of my many wikipedia tours as a…
I don't think this is a US only thing. Even in India, where I'm from, everyone I've spoken to or know tends to like this change.
Not everyone from everywhere has had food delivery apps all their lifetimes, even if they're GenZ
Sarcastic quips are basically the most human response to any new situation. Let us have fun

Diabolically funny, you mean.
I believe it is pretty reasonable to show ads about your own product on your website, and shouldn't be considered spam.
Agree with this. As much as Ubuntu is derided for several reasons, it just works. I tinkered with different distros for years, and while it was super fun, I wasn't very productive. Ubuntu and Fedora are the only distros…
Don't disagree with any of your points. I can understand some push-back from other countries, especially when the right-wing tends to embarrassingly parade past achievements as a way to suppress criticism of current…
I agree that I have over-generalised, although in my mind the UK and the US have the most cultural imprint from amongst the Western nations.
But doesn't this argument presume that every technology must be adopted with as much zeal as possible. That every tool is good for the future of human race. Should we not question the technologies that we so readily…
Which Vedas call Dalits "devils"? In what context are these verses, if any? And why would a majority of the Hindu population not benefit from reading their sacred texts - Vedas and Gita and such? My literal Sanskrit…
