Normal people watch Netflix on a smart TV. Or their phone. Hell the only reason why I turn on my computer these days is for videogames. I wonder if the decline of the desktop has someone worried at Microsoft.

My brother is flying to Japan tomorrow and we were talking about how the flight has gotten longer because of all the active war zones that they can't fly over any more.

It strikes me as odd that India is not talked about more the caste system goes against 500 years of Western philosophy. I suspect there will be a lot of issues with integration.
