That’s literally Megumin from KonoSuba lol. She’s supposed to be one of the strongest wizards around, but refuses to learn anything other than explosion magic. Explosion magic is basically useless in most situations, as it just flattens a huge area.

Yeah. I’m not sure if edited titles are acceptable here.

Yeah, dual booting on a single drive causes more harm than good. It’s very annoying, and I’ve seen people think it’s Linux’s fault, saying “I can boot into Windows just fine.” It’s like saying a bully is the better kid since he never has dirty clothes.

I’m from near Kolkata. And yes, some do understand Hindi because it’s similar to Bangla, but people rarely speak it. And even if we do, we do it reluctantly. I speak in English with my non-Bengali friends, and it’s pretty common to do that in my cohort.

The reason for there not being many Hindi signs is that the protest is centered in Bengal. Bengalis don’t really have a good relationship with Hindi due to political reasons (even though they have linguistic similarities). In recent times, the central government has been trying to force Hindi on all Indians, which has made the situation worse.

Civic police and civic volunteers are supposed to be temporary employees that help the police during stressful hours like during festivals. But the current ruling party is basically using it to legally give money to their goons.

I’ve been enjoying The Elusive Samurai for the last month or so. It’s pretty great.

Edit: Just clarifying that I’m not supporting the Soviets here. Rather, I’m pointing out how these events are not well known.

Indians will get it.
