To clarify, I am not American, but from UK. I only hear Americans primarily through online media and only women employ vocal fry there and inarticulate women especially. I have never heard an american woman on any science channels like Numberphile, ViHart or minute physics use vocal fry, because smart people just…

I appreciate your views and can understand your concerns. NHS has limited resources and every resource deployed at someone that cannot be saved, is resource taken away from someone who can be but has less voice and access. I clearly understand their position, however, I still feel their choice is quite selfish.

It is not misogyny if my crib is not gender specific. Both genders use uptalk and it is equally obnoxious in either. You just don’t see men arguing that their inarticulation is not being praised.

No one screams Idiot more than George W, Bush either. I mean come one, if people accuse up talkers as idiots and your response is Bush, it is like you are not even trying.

I personally find up talk vapid and insecure, maybe it is a cultural thing. It may work for some people in USA, but I can be damn sure everyone outside the country is going to judge you. I kinda get it when Nigerian, Indian or French people have vocalisation attributes rub on to their accent on secondary language.…

Just because he was a muslim does not mean he was fasting. Even within the religion there are plenty of exceptions. More than that assuming he was fasting is like assuming all christians don’t work on sundays.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong, the whole thing depends on class and education. All my cousins were married off through arranged marriage and both guys and girls finished colleges and worked minimum for 2 years by themselves at least before their parents found them their brides/grooms. But the middle class is…

Since no one has ever met god, faith is what you make of it. If you are nitpicky of a particular aspect, you are no worse than a kid who is pedantic over a rule of monopoly when rest of the kids agreed it is fine.

I kind of like this though, rich snob being put in place by someone of lower wages, makes inner socialist smile.

I’ve used a Chrome plugin called Pluckeye for it and have for 100 days, it is a bit strict so test with small time delays before using fully. My goal was not to quit social media, but be aware of it more. There are plenty of uses for it, and quitting it forever is like a caveman refusing to learn language when his…

You don’t need desktop version for messenger, next to the prompt there is a small X, if you click it you will get a mobile version of messenger.

How long before it is a feature in the facebook app.

There already is, also obvious NFSW

If Plan B was a drug for anything else than birth control and if there was not a major political lobby for it, it would have been banned.

Except rent everything is higher in Japan

Except Japan is not a 3rd world country, and cost of living is still high.

Fighting racism with misogyny is a win for no one.

I grew up in India, Trump did not horrify me because when I viewed on an objective scale, he just appeared moderate. I am not saying he was a good choice, but compared to so many administrations around the world, seeing Trump as the worst is myopic. Heck, I would gladly take Trump over the current Hindu government…

Misogyny does not kill people, misogynists kill people, if you pretend misogynists do not exist, it does not magically disappear. Between Trump, Brexit or Le Pen, people refusing to engage or find ground is reason liberalism seems to be dying. You can walk away sure, but how far are you going to walk? just because you…

Also sometimes you just need to wait for things to occur before you can do your own part.
