No, they’re calling the BJP a fascist party. With Hindu fascism, Muslims are the out group who are at the same time strong and weak & Hindu’s are the chosen people. There’s even a Hindu paramilitary militia. There’s several parallels between the early Nazi party and the present day BJP.

I’m going to go with based. I would not have wanted to be a conscript with the rank of private in any army at this time period. You’ll be badly treated disposable cannon fodder and you’ll be stuck in that situation until the war ends, until you get taken prisoner, until you desert, or until you died.

Are you sure about Antarctica? I wouldn’t be surprised if emperor penguins measured distance in feet and flippers.
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 1 month ago:
Not knowing how much is not that big an issue. If it’s too much, then it becomes an interplanetary ship. If it’s not enough, then it will come down soon enough and we can just try again on an another volcano. It’s probably going to require a bit of patience from the crew, passengers and offspring, but eventually there will be a big enough eruption and it will all work out smoothly in the end.

Why has noone ever experimented with placing a very large spaceship in the mouth of an active volcano? And when erupting, the space ship would fly to space without needing any fuel. No resources wasted on multiple stage rockets just to carry up fuel a few km, all that’s needed is an enormous spaceship in the shape of a cement plug.

How about “Yippee”?
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 2 months ago:
I’m going to second this: a few pairs of Crocs, each placed at a strategic exit and going outside for a few minutes is no inconvenience at all anymore. For anything that takes longer than that, I put on suitable footwear for whatever I’ll be doing.

So Amazon goes by the maxim of “rules for thee, but not for me”. I can’t say that I’m surprised :)
- Comment on What do mean things so small we can't see them with the human eye? Are you crazy? 6 months ago:
If Semmelweis’ s theories were correct, it would have meant that many deaths of their patients would have been easily avoidable. So those other doctors could either ridicule the theory and continue living + practicing in ignorance, or accept the theory and also accept that they had (unknowingly) caused the deaths of many of their patients.
I’m not surprised that they chose the route of ridicule. I’m also not surprised that 20 or 30 years later, when the assistants of the old doctors had become the new generation of doctors, that the theory was then more easily accepted.
