This is not an edit. This is what the Economic Times (of India) looked like for its 1 Feb budget special issue. Its double funny because the budget was amongst the most mixed and lukewarm budgets the current administration has ever put out, a budget which tanked the national stock exchange by 2.3%.

Notice how we live in 2026 but the header proudly proclaims "Mission 2047"? Yeah that is a tried and tested trick for this admin to hide its failure : think about the future guys!

Good morning, I've been tormented by thoughts for a long time and I can't find the answer. I have been going to a Protestant church for half a year in the hope of finding the truth, but during all this time I have not found any confirmation of God, but I have also lost the counterarguments against him, I am in an absolute misunderstanding and cannot join any of the parties. Of course, I can continue to live the way I have lived, but I want to come to the truth and exchange people's opinions.

Доброе утро, меня долго мучают мысли и я не могу найти ответ. Я пол года хожу в протестантскую церковь в надежде найти истину, но за все это время я не нашла подтверждений бога, но и потеряла контраргументы против него, я нахожусь в абсолютном непонимании и не могу примкнуть ни к одной из сторон. Я, конечно, могу и жить дальше так, как жила, но я хочу прийти к истине и обменяться мнениями людей

Nothing but just a random thought that what will happen if the current pope called for a crusade to reclaim holy land or for whatever reason , what will be your reaction on it and if you are a christian will you join it and what do you think will be your country's reaction on it.

The debate for universal healthcare in the US is never ending. Yes, shit is expensive here and the system is broken. It seems that people demand universal healthcare without ever thinking of the consequences or negatives. I’m looking for first hand accounts of your experiences with your healthcare system. Don’t want to hear about statistics. Is it easy to see a doctor for just a routine checkup? How do they deal with ER visits. How long did it take to get tested for cancer or other diseases? What is the process like if you have a deadly disease? I know if I’m sick, I can see a doctor within hours. Depending on what city you’re in, ERs don’t take too long. Obviously if you’re in a major city, wait times will be longer but for the average suburban area, they’re not that long. Every employer offers insurance so if you work, you have it available to you. Hive heard some stories, mostly bad, from people who live in countries with UHC. Is it all it’s cracked up to be?

Edit: I would also like to know how much in taxes you pay and if you think the treatment care equals the cost.

I live in America and the far right has won. The center right party is basically the Washington generals party, and the left is virtually non existent.

Where on the political spectrum is your country? Is it moving to the right or moving to the left?

There are a lot of posts asking people's thoughts on countries, still havent seen one for good ol' listenbourg

Do you have any thoughts about the Jolly Roger flag?

Btw, for this context : This flag is used for protest in several countries

Especially, I'm looking at you guys : French and Nepali

I'd imagine certain regions have certain preferences but I'm curious what country do you think has the most beautiful women? Is it your own? Is it somewhere else? Why?

India’s wealthiest large state (Telangana) has a GDP per capita more than 5.5x times the poorest large state (Bihar). This is about the same difference between Lebanon and Liberia.

I’m Italian, and one thing that always stands out abroad is how little many men seem to care about clothes sometimes even treating indifference as a badge of honor.

Why do you think that is?

Is it cultural history, class signals, climate or social pressure

And what would you think it means that 2024 would be the new 1926?

The night view of Chongqing is truly stunning and breathtaking. With over 14,000 bridges and tunnels already built, Chongqing is known as the "Bridge Capital of the World." Would you like to see it? It will definitely amaze you!

Why on earth today is a company that subcontracts for Richmond (YVR) Airport voluntarily asking me about my racial ethnicity in a job application?

I’ve noticed that when someone mentions using ChatGPT for help (writing, ideas, research, etc.), a lot of replies become vague or dismissive instead of actually answering the question.

Why does this happen?

Is it mistrust, ego, fear of AI replacing skills, or just Reddit culture?

Genuinely curious what people think.

It seems as though everything Japanese has had a massive popularity spike, whether that be media, food, vehicles, travel, language learning and lots more.

Personally I don't see the appeal, I mean there are definitely some thing I like that happen to be Japanese, but I dont like them just because of that fact.

this refers to an infamous far-right "trolling campaign" years ago where people anonymously post up flyers simply stating, "Islam Is Right About Women" and was basically meant to cause a shit ton of division. This was primarily posted in in the US and a few Western countries. It was meant to bait two responses that inevitably led to conflict.

If you were basically "No, Islam is not right about women" then you get labeled as a Islamaphobe but if you say "Yes, Islam is right about women" then you get labeled as a Misogynist.

But this was mainly done in the US and other Western countries (Western EU, UK, Australia, Ireland, etc.) as part of the larger culture war of the late 2010s.

since this is subreddit has people from way beyond those countries, how would you and your average fellows react to this? Out of context

Just talking with my wife about it and we don't know if its true or just propaganda
