What does weighed down by caste mean? Go to google news for India and search for ‘Dalit’. Count the number of people beaten up and killed for being lower caste and trying to drink from an upper caste well or marrying an upper caste person.

As someone who has lived in India for most of his life, I can assure you we are very far from being meritocratic or egalitarian in any way. People are weighed down by the poverty, caste and religion of the families they are born into. Very

Ducky One 2 user here: it is fantastic for the price. The aluminium case is solid, heavy and beautifully shaped and coated. Switches are perfect to me. Stock keycaps are very good though maybe not the best. I like it so much I'm using

GP and I seem to disagree about the utility of fashion and/or appearance though.

Using terms like 'sacrifice' and 'collective' seems hyperbolic as well. Sacrifice implies willingly offering oneself for the good of others. A collective implies others chipping in to mitigate a member's failure.

So BOTH a progressive fine and an imposed wait should work for everyone then.

by kranner 7y ago
I have a feeling that a certain class of rich person would be much more bothered by being made to wait than just paying a large fine.

The article addresses that. Apparently Estonians consider Finland's system inferior to theirs. > Estonians have praised the idea for being more egalitarian—monetary fines are not adjusted according to income, as in neighbouring Finl

OP, calling them "native" apps is misleading here. "Standalone" may be what you mean.

Netflix's terms of use support sharing within the same household. It even has profiles for separate users within the same household. I don't even know what 'paid in full' means here. It's a specific service with spe
