Off-Topic Chit-Chat

A gentler phrasing of what the French actually say in Euro subreddits (the least racist version):

Lo and behold, import bahadurs and dalals of this forum, better keep those payments up even if you have to mortgage atmanirbharta!
Don't take it personal, The French are racist about everyone, They are also famous for being arrogant, rude and uncooperative

You are being rude yourself, and racist. First thing to do when you are racist is to make an amalgam = check !

As everywhere, there are assholes. And because there is 60 times more population in India than in France, there is, statistically 60 times more morons.
So don't take one, specially from X which is a nest for morons, to apply it to all frenchs.

Do you know french guys personally ? We are, culturally, very différents. But you are just telling about preconceived ideas, which is also a common sign for basic racists.

So please, don't be one of them.
In fact, for knowing many indians myself (colleagues mainly) and after a first visit 3 years ago in Mumbai, I can tell without any reserve that i trully respect and love the people and your culture. But I must say that here, I found a lot of very unpleasant people, that is why I do not participate a lot. Again, don't be one of them, and don't ruin, by your words, the good image I have of your people.

What sort of cheesy ads do you Aussie rednecks come up with Pops ? @Optimist

Take a leaf out of your mother country will you ? I mean look at little britain . They may have lost everything except their sense of humour.


Look at Paddy here for instance . Most if not all his analyeasts belong to the jokes or chit chat section yet he posts them with all seriousness & sincerity.

Tell him will you Paddy ? @BMD
 
AI generated. These edits seem to be getting good. This one is based on Naruto Shippuden.


A cinematic live-action recreation of one of the most legendary moments from Naruto Shippuden Madara Uchiha facing the entire Shinobi Alliance. Reimagined with advanced AI visuals, the scene brings anime power into a realistic battlefield, blending dramatic lighting, explosive chakra effects, and intense hand-to-hand combat choreography.

Ever since PKS went to his reward there's a serious dearth of people who can predict the future as far as Indian defence goes.

Steno Shishir gives us news only a few days or weeks in advance , so he doesn't count .

PKS' blog was no less than an encyclopedia of info that I spent many hours geeking out over back in the day. Much respect to that guy.

Tbh, PKS had a mixed record of hits and misses.

An example off the top of my head: He claimed P-28 would be based on the Russian Stereguschiy corvette design for which he got called out by an IN WDB gentleman. Can't remember if the latter was serving or retired, though.

Made for fascinating reading, regardless.

For me PKS will always be the original story teller unlike the proliferation of derivative & fake story tellers we have now.

My reading of his blog suggests he had a pretty good track record in prediction . Something close to 7-8 / 10 which to my mind is phenomenal.

A good deal of it could probably be put down to his networking & access to power / influence centers.

Equally his experience in reading the room based on past precedence / experience of the way decision making at the highest levels happens played a huge role in his predictions being more on target than off target .

His derivatives belong more to the Avi Raina school . Keep repeating predictions & when it doesn't come true go underground for 6 months & resume activities as if nothing happened.

Rinse & repeat .

I was an avid reader of the blog but his writings for publications like Force Magazine were decidedly sensationalist and at times heavily plagiarized.

Not surprising though considering that the editor at that publication is a sell-out known for pushing an anti-national agenda.
