    Anxiety and palpitations

    Do you engage in regular exercise? If not, would suggest joining a gym or picking some other form of rigorous exercise. Anxiety is often made worse by lack of physical movement and pushing yourself physically helps improve mental health and resilience/tolerance to stress.

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    Yet to read in-depth into the issue but looks like the investigation was a couple of years in the making, by the SEC. All the more reason why the timing is suspect. There's always an off-ramp. Trump might and probably will use this to drive a hard bargain on trade issues. But it's a 'poisoned...

    Really wanted to buy this. But just don't have the space to accommodate the additional 70cm length over my current 90cm desk.

    This is very much a USG thing. Or at least, a faction of it. The USG is anything but a coherent entity with different schools of thought often competing for influence. The Adani case just can't be seen in isolation, especially as it comes just after Canada went to the extent of naming Modi in...

    They won't be. Trump will use it as leverage, he's transactional in his worldview.

    Adani group, an Evil corp?

    This is what I meant when I said crony capitalism is not a sufficient condition. Few conglomerates have the execution ability that Adani does. It's similar to how few have the execution ability of an Ambani when it comes to grand projects he takes up. There's a reason 'factor markets' is an...

    Geopolitical advantage. To secure our borders, integrity, economy et al. If you don't think these are fronts on which we face threats, I understand why you think all this is ooga-booga. If Adani is useful to that end, I'm a fan. If he's not, he should be thrown under the bus and discarded, as...

    Ready to be anyone's fan that advances India's interests :) That too, sir, no worries.

    Yes, corruption is real. Yes, our system is faulty. Now how do we achieve our goals as a nation given these faults? That's the problem our politicians face. The rise of the likes of Adani is because of the system, not despite it. These are the cards that you're dealt with, now how do you play...

    I do not have the guardrails you seem to have when thinking about these things. Crony capitalism is a necessary but not sufficient condition for doing what an Adani does. I have clarity about the larger goal and threat to us here. I also have clarity on the fact that this is 'amoral', which puts...

    The most simple and plausible reason is only when you have info on all the other plausible reasons. Naivete is in assuming you do, especially from media sources. These simplistic explanations are a factor of the end of history theory to explain the world. My worldview is to question...

    It's incredibly naive to take things at face value. What makes you say this?

    This comes right after Canada named Modi too in the Nijjar assassination case. It's the US deep state alright.

    Thanks for the effort! This looks very good for the price, might just order one. Did you do the assembly yourself?

    If it weren't for your first-hand review, I wouldn't even have looked at this thing thanks to that stinker of a customer rating on Amazon.

    Didn't understand the temple thing? ED heat on his daughter is a recent thing. Vijayan has been uncharacteristically (for the left) bullish on Vizhinjam ever since he assumed office back in 2016. Kerala's finances have always been such that capex has taken a back seat. It needed a more...

    Pinarayi has been surprisingly bullish on Vizhinjam. He also seems to have a good working relationship with the centre.

    Health & Fitness COVID Vaccine Experience and your preference.

    That's jumping the gun. Let's be honest, it was an event with too many variables. Moreover, the vaccine was developed at a much faster pace than what was conventional. As I've mentioned before on this thread, administering the vaccines was a probabilistic call and net-net, saved many more lives...

    To be fair, most people here indulging in simplistic binary arguments haven't experienced what a great power conflict is and how the outcome of such a conflict plays an outsized role in what are considered normative/ideal ways of thinking by the larger world. For instance, the deification of...
