Why hello there, dear writer!
I've been working on a large mythological study in order to teach others how to understand mythology in a fast and easy way and couldn't help but notice all of the aspects in it that always seem to relate back to writing.
Mythology is a symbolic way of explaining what IS in the world, the objective qualities that we can then decipher into more fluid terms once we understand the symbolism of both who these mythological figures are and what they did. In my post about serials, I wrapped it up with a mirroring of how a serial writer would copy and live in the same way Bellerophon lived through his hero's journey, which resulted in him falling off a flying horse and landing on a bunch of prickly bushes, eyes first. None of us should expect this story to mean we, as serial writers, will literally fall off a flying horse in the near future, although that might happen to some with how genetic manipulation technology is going. No, it's more about how this symbolizes an eventual fall from grace once we try to enter areas where we don't belong, like when a human tried to enter Olympus.
But this isn't just about serial writing. This is going to be about being a writer in general and how the entire process happens, but explained in a pre-modernist context of what IS, rather than the deconstructive postmodernist context of what is NOT. I believe this will benefit anyone who sees it because understanding how being a writer works will also help a reader and vice versa. The relationship between reader and writer is what we call a dichotomy, a contrast between two things that are opposites. The reader reads the work after buying it and the writer wrote the work before selling it.
Some people might say "well I gave it away for free" or "I smuggled it in my ass without paying" but my point remains the same.
A reader needs a writer and a writer needs a reader. Even if the writer’s only reader is the writer themselves, they still have a reader to read the writing that they wrote. By the way, this post has been rated R for retardedly using so many words with the r sound. And speaking of retardation, I would like to go over a bit into how both of these sides handle things poorly in the postmodernist era, all so that we can understand the common result that we always come across in the current year.
Meet Wanda.
Wanda is a writer. But not just any writer. She’s a postmodernist. She’s so postmodernist that she misses her period whenever someone calls her one, because she gets that darn furious. How are you feeling there Wanda?
“Terrible…”
Why’s that?
“I can’t stop thinking about global warming, I hate the idea of private property, and people aren’t reacting well to the realistic figure of April O’Neil from the Seth Rogan TMNT movie.”
You mean the one that turned her from a beautiful red head into a burnt Mr. Krabs?
“That’s the one! And it’s such a shame because she represents all of the people that Hollywood doesn’t want to represent, and so they are ignored by media, as they’ve always been.”
Hollywood ignores feminist reporters? But I’ve seen so many Japanese videos where there’s a crowd watching them do their thing. Very intently, I might add.
“Not about that! I’m talking about black women, fat women, 12 year old women, women who don’t look feminine. And April is not the only one. There are all sorts of underrepresented types of people out there that never get their voices heard.”
So let me get this straight, Wanda the writer. You demand the representation of people in the media you watch so that a voice can be heard, but it doesn’t matter what they say as long as they are heard or as long as they are sort of there on the screen. Is this right?
“Not at all. I want these people, these poor defenseless minority people, to be represented in media and have their voices heard, even if what they have to say is not important.”
That’s pretty much what I said, but you know what? You’re the female writer here, so you must know what you’re doing. Now that you mention it, what are you doing to play your part in this whole goal of yours? Any minorities in your stories?
“Well… no. But I am writing about a white woman struggling against the patriarchy in the 1700s. I just hope nobody minds me using current year vernacular because you know how silly people sounded back then.”
Dead ass GOAT cheese, big chungus.
While she’s working on her thang, let’s meet another person who’s part of this relationship between writer and reader. Meet Ren. Ren is a reader. Not just a reader, but one who we could say is “clinically addicted to stories”. He reads books, online serials, watches booktubers to learn about more books, reads comic books, and manga.
“I even learned Japanese so I can read them before they get translated.”
Wow, now that’s dedication. This guy must really love media.
“More like I don’t have much to do while in college classes.”
Aren’t you supposed to learn things in college so you can use your degree for later?
“My degree is to be used?”
Anywho, I have a writer that I want you to meet. Her name is Wanda and does she have a story for you!
“Excellent. You know I love stories.”
I know, if pages didn’t give papercuts, you’d fuck a hole through the book. Been there, done that, don’t recommend it. So, Wanda’s story is something you will love. I assume you will because she sounded very sure about her main focus. She said that her book was about a woman dealing with something called the “patriarchy”. Now sure what that is, but I think it has to do with Patreon and arcs, so maybe it’s a serial that people support with donations.
“Doesn’t really interest me.”
Really? But… but there’s a woman in it and she’s… you know. Fighting the something or other.
“I mean, that’s fine. I have nothing against having a female protagonist, there’s plenty of those on Netflix, but I don’t know what the story is.”
Do you have to? I mean, does a story REALLY need to go somewhere for you to read it?
“No, it doesn’t need something to happen, but I… I don’t know. It’s like I need to at least know the setting to see if I like it.”
Is there a setting you DON’T like?
“Not really, I like any setting. But… look. You’re making this more difficult than it has to be. I just want to know what the plot is. Is that so hard to ask?”
But why do you need to know the plot if the story doesn’t need to go anywhere? In fact, Wanda said that you should be happy it has representation in the first place. That should be enough right there. Don’t you care about the voices of the minorities?
“I DO! You bet your sweet ass I do! I love minority voices. The kind that comes out of their mouth with those words and the sounds are heard from the vibrations in the air. I love all of that!”
Ok, calm down, it was just a-
“I’m not racist! You’re the racist for even asking such a thing!”
I didn’t mention race but let’s get off this to-
“You’re a fucking Nazi. I can’t believe you’d even think of asking something like that.”
Like grandfather like grandson, but I’m trying to get you to read the story that Wanda wrote and-
“No, you already had your chance. I’m done with this. You’re canceled! I’m going to make sure everyone I know on social media tries to deplatform you and make you homeless for good!”
That went well. But as you can see, there’s not much getting through to the postmodernist reader as long as they feel like they were offended and there’s not much coming out of the postmodernist writer other than virtue signaling for representation. If the postmodernist writer was correct, then people would be globally reacting positively to specifically representation and nothing else, but we’re not. If the postmodernist reader was correct, we would be enjoying pretty much everything that comes out and being fine with everything, but we’re not.
In fact, the globally acclaimed stories that have sold beautifully are all stories that do nothing of the sort. Remember, Harry Potter is considered the most evil thing by the woke postmodernist reader and writer, yet Harry Potter has sold half a billion copies and under half of that has been sold in English speaking countries. That means Harry Potter, a story that’s being called the worst thing ever by the woke postmodernist, is actually one of the best things ever across nearly every culture. People like it so much that they have decided to play a game that is merely based on the world, instead of trying to virtue signal along with the woke postmodernists who beg everyone to follow their narrative. Perhaps the reason why their narrative is failing is because they don’t know how to write properly.
But what exactly is the right way to write? How do we get the global connection that some writers know how to do but others don’t? The answer has been right in front of our faces this whole time and for about 2,000 years. You know where I’m going with this: it’s alchemy. The answer is found in alchemy, even if the people who do it don’t know that it’s in alchemy. However, no matter what, the postmodernist writer has to reject alchemy entirely because every single principle under alchemy is deemed as either offensive or false by the postmodernist.
Don’t believe me? Let’s check them out:

1. The all is mind; the universe is mental.

The postmodernist is forced to be materialist until they are told a gender exists, and that’s when they bend the rules a bit to say that gender is a mental thing, BUT mental is part of the brain, which is material. If they didn’t do this, they wouldn’t be able to defend anything hedonistic in their desires.

1. As above, so below.

The postmodernist is not allowed to believe this because they call this a “false dichotomy”.

1. Nothing rests, everything moves, everything vibrates.

I actually haven’t seen a postmodernist respond to this one, but I’m sure they’ll have some excuse or outlier of something that doesn’t vibrate. Or they will just deny science all together because everything is subjective to them.

1. Everything is dual, everything has its pairs of opposites, like and unlike are the same, opposites are identical in nature but different in degree.

I actually did speak to a postmodernist who denied this. They wanted proof of such a thing being true instead of being the one who finds proof of it being wrong. Remember, in their mind, the burden of proof is always on the one that’s established and never on the one who’s trying to reject the norm.

1. Everything flows, out and in.
2. Every cause has its effect.
3. Gender is in everything, everything has its masculine and feminine.

That last one is enough to get you canceled. The gender deconstructionist, aka non-binary advocate, will tell everyone that there are things like pansexual, potsexual, skilletsexual, woksexual. Everything and the kitchen sinksexual. They threaten to take their own lives if we don’t believe this. Alchemy, by simply existing, is the most offensive thing to these people. Alchemy, by simply being understood, is the most useful tool in creating a globally functional story.
Fancy that.
But how exactly does alchemy cause a story to be good? And not just good, but enjoyed by someone from one culture to another?
To understand it, we’re going to explain what writing even is.
Writing, in its most simplest form of process, is the act of taking an idea from an imaginary source, in the mind, and turning it into a thought. This thought is then turned into a coherent string of words in our head, which is then written down to be recorded in some form. Paper, computer, stone, the flesh of a corpse, whatever you want to use. It’s about symbolic ideas being transmogrified into words that are then to be read by someone else.
How does reading work?
Well, we take the writing process and do it backwards. The written text is read by the reader, which gives them a conscious thought, which is turned into an idea, and it comes back to them for emotional reactions. These emotional reactions range in intensity and in type: happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, and surprise. These basic emotions are tied into our interest, which should be the first thing a writer studies in order to sell to people. One of the biggest questions for media is “what exactly are people interested in?”
The simple answer is: whatever causes a strong reaction from one of those basic emotions.
On social media, the most widely shared topics are ones that bring happiness, sadness, fear, disgust, anger, or surprise; with no real mixture of them. And not just that, but as close to that single reaction as possible. We don’t watch cat videos because we are afraid of cats, we watch them because we find happiness in their cuteness, which is a result of the protective caregiving reaction found in feminine emotions that was brought to us thanks to evolution, because without it we would ignore our babies and throw them into the prickly bushes when they’re annoying.
The reader emotionally reacting is what causes retention rates. We are unable to care about what was written if we don’t feel anything about the story. So what does mythology have to do with these emotions? A lot, actually. You see, Greek mythology had a lot of gods in its pantheon and some of the most primordial of gods were ones of emotion.
Before the Olympians and even before the titans, there were two primordial gods that had to give birth to pretty much everything: Nyx and Erebus. Nyx was the goddess of night and Erebus was the god of darkness. Darkness is meant to be a symbol of “impurity” or something like “the lack of enlightenment”. When we talk about darkness, we talk about something that is of the black part of Yin Yang, the Yin part. It is the chaos that combats against the order. Night is about the same, but for the entire world, because nighttime is that part of our lives when all the predators come out and try to eat us. However, night is also when we can view the stars and darkness is the area where we can focus better on the light.
From night and darkness were born several gods: Euphrosyne(happiness), Styx(hatred), Hybris(wantonness), Eleos(compassion), Nemesis(envy/revenge), Eris(discord), Epiphron(prudence), Eros(love), Oizys(misery), and Philotes(friendship).
These are all emotion based things. These are emotions that are so universal that they didn’t even need people to exist. These are the emotions that cause humans to exist instead of the other way around. The only emotions that aren’t part of that list directly are Corus(disgust), who is the son of Hybris; and fear, who was birthed by Ares(war) and Aphrodite(lust).
To the Greeks, disgust and fear were something that resulted from wantonness, which means to be reckless and out of control. I say this because exploitation and horror films that are meant to poke at our fears and disgust us are always designed to make us react by having us go out of control. We hoot and holler, then we usually laugh or just lose our lunch. But everything else is pretty much self explanatory.
Why are revenge stories so common? Nemesis.
Why are romance stories so common? Eros.
Why are stories about friendship so common? Philotes.
Why do I love to hate the villain? Styx.
These primordial gods are meant to be domains of these emotions, the sources of the emotions. So trying to get this emotion from a story as a reader is like visiting one of these domains, knocking on the door, and getting a big whiff of whatever’s going on there. Then our mind comes back to the brain and tells our chemical responders to respond in whatever way that causes the chemical reactions as a result of an emotion. The same happens when we are trying to write it, only we feel the emotion before we write it down.
When we watch a soap opera and get tied into the sad story and are crying our eyes out, we are sitting right there in the domain of Oizys, ready to feel anything else that’s similar. Oh look, all of these gods are siblings, meaning they are similar. What are the odds!
It’s almost as if pre-modernism had the answers out in the open for 2,000 years and postmodernists still deny it ever happened.
Ok, so emotions are important, sure. Even a postmodernist can accept that, even if they don’t accept the source of these emotions.
“Hey, I reject that!”
Oh look, it’s our good friend Ren the reader. But this is a different Ren, who is Renardo, but goes by Ren. What are you rejecting, Ren the Reader… the second?
“I reject the idea that we can feel anything at all in how the author intended. Author’s intent means nothing to the reader, and it’s all about reader’s interpretation. Death of the author is alive and well, and we prove it every day when we don’t understand what the author intended. And I’ll have you know, if the author says anything racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic in how I interpret something they say, then that means death TO the author for intending those interpretations!”
Whoa, reel back that weiner, Ren. Are you saying that an author has no idea what they’re talking about when they write something and only the reader’s interpretation matters at the end of the day? And you can blame the author for your interpretation?
“Not at all! I’m saying that whatever the author says is secondary to whatever the reader was thinking when it comes to the enjoyment of the reader. And when I interpret something, it’s their fault for making me interpret it that way.”
That’s basically what I just said but I think you’re onto something. In fact, you just accidentally agreed with ancient civilizations on what we call a messenger god.
“You called it a god instead of a godx?! Really? Are you that insensitive that you won’t include nonbinary godx?”
Yes, I am, but you’re forgetting that with gendered grammar, the masculine form is always used when a group of different genders-
“No, that’s not an excuse! How dare you use the patriarchy as a means of oppressing non-binary and indigenous third genders like the one from Thailand.”
As someone who’s actually been to Thailand and seen my fair share of ping pong shows, that third gender is there to remove rights, not to increase-
“I’m not listening to your facts for a single second more. Don’t you know that facts are racist? The internet will hear about your fact usage. You shall rue the day you ever tried to pull that fast one on me, sweaty!”
Talk about shooting the messenger. And speaking of, that’s what I wanted to talk about before Renaldo did… whatever he did.
Pretty much every mythology has a messenger god of a sort, including monotheistic religions. In Greek mythology, the god Hermes is the messenger of the gods and has several interesting origins, both within the mythology and from the conception of his mythology. It is highly likely that Hermes came from the Babylonian Isimund, who was a two faced messenger and advisor for the god Enki, with Enki being the god of water, magic, and creation. The reason those things combine is because the fertility of a woman and the fertilizer of a man are both water and cause creation of life. He was also the god of knowledge, which relates to how our water "humor" of phlegm is connected to our mouth and our brain.
You're probably thinking "what does this have to do with writing?"
Well, hold on for a bit, I'm getting to it.
Hermes was the messenger god for the Greeks but he was also the god of travel related things like speed and roads, cunning, wit, thieves, and he was also a psycopomp. And no, that doesn't mean he was a murderous cheerleader. A psychopomp is a soul guide, like Charon who leads a soul across the river of Styx or the crow who guides a soul to the spirit realm. But Hermes doesn't wait for you to die, he's the dude who takes ideas from the spirit world and puts them into your head.
Hermes was called mercury in Roman mythology and mercury is also the classic metal that represents the mind. Mercury is a liquid metal, making like a transformation and abstract symbol, which the mind is meant to be. So if you want to understand the mind better, you should study how Hermes works. Another key factor is a little belief system that we call hermeticism.
Remember the 7 principles of alchemy from the beginning? Those were the 7 principles of hermeticism, which is a word that's practically interchangeable with alchemy. It is idealist, it is dualist, and it is reflective. It is just how our minds come up with stories to put into the hands of readers for the readers to imagine our idea, only storytelling is a fraction of the concept.
Thot, the Egyptian messenger god, was directly considered the god of magic, judgment of the dead, and writing. That last part is important because he is depicted as a partner of Ma'at as they stand above Ra's solar barque, which is a personal Egyptian boat that is meant to represent the sun. Ra is the god of order, sunlight, kings, and the sky(aka the sky father). Ma'at is the goddess of truth, order, balance, justice, law, and morality.
Back to Greek mythology, we have Hermes who was born from Zeus and Mara. Zeus is the god of gods, while Mara was one of the pleiades. The Pleiades were seven sister nymphs that eventually were turned into stars, and nymphs are meant to be personifications of nature. This means Hermes was born from nature and the ruler of gods.
This means that the ruler, the writer, is accompanied by truth and magic, with both obeying the world and from the world. These are required in order to make a story in the first place, because the story is a world that you’re designing. The writer is the one casting light onto specific events and using specific words to give the reader a specific idea of what’s going on. And not just a specific idea, but a specific argument to declare as true. The postmodernist writer is unable to do this because they don’t believe in the truth, and the postmodernist reader isn’t able to accept it because the truth is offensive to them.
“Hey, that’s not true!”
Oh look, Wendy the writer is back. Tell us Wendy, what did I say that’s not true?
“What you said is a mischaracterization of postmodernism! It’s not that we don’t believe in the truth, it’s that we hold personal truth because there is no objective truth.”
Right, I forgot. It’s true as long as you sexually identify as true. And the audience will see something true as long as they think it’s true. So whenever a postmodernist reader reads something a postmodernist writer wrote, they are treated with an incredibly small chance of gaining any truth from it, and any truth gained from it is actually from what the reader already believed. In fact, the postmodernist writer must make sure that truth is rejected to keep it subjective and open for interpretation.
This is how a postmodernist writer is able to avoid responsibility for any themes found, but at the same time, the self-inflicted wound of what we call “sensitivity reading” intends on having a select few determine what everyone will see as offensive. But, all the while, the reader is making up everything that is offending them when they are intending on being offended by anything, with offense being a psudo-currency unit that is based on how hard a person wants to look like a victim and in what department. This allows a sensitivity reader to make up the darndest things, like claiming orcs are black people or goblins are jews, or something is "gay coded". All the while the author rarely or never intends on any of these things because they aren't trying to write for that specific reader through the whacky lens that reader is using to turn any work into their own personal advocacy. In the most ironic way, sensitivity readers are the ones who utilize stereotypes as a weapon against anything they want to deem as evil, which has been called nonsensical for the longest time until now.
“How dare you insult my precious sensitivity readers! They work to the bone, day and night, telling me about everything I wrote that would look unappealing to minorities. Paying them more than I made in my sales was the best decision I ever made.”
I’m so happy that you’re happy, but don’t you think making a profit is a better alternative to… whatever the hell you did?
“Profit?! As in capitalism? Are you mad?”
Now that you mention it, I did eat a tuna sandwich and that relates to mercury because-
“Now you’re talking about eating animals, which is murder. I wouldn’t be caught dead talking to the likes of you, murderer!”
It’s not murderer until you get caught.
I’ll let her get back to her writing since she seems a bit mentally… preoccupied. What I was trying to say is that this mediary, this psychopomp, is our greatest guide in our writing by allowing us to connect with the truth, which comes from the sky father. This truth is what allows us to create an argument, and this argument is what our story is meant to revolve around. Whenever people talk about a theme, they are talking about an argument being made, and it makes sense to be made.
This argument is the heart of the story, with smaller arguments being made up and down the story in order to make it more valid. Events give examples, characters take sides in the argument to present positions, and the plot strings it all together in order for the reader to see how it works. The author doesn’t hold the truth themselves and neither does the reader. This is why the author's intent and reader’s interpretation is a false dichotomy. The truth is the one that truly matters, which is found within the text as the argument to be had.
A true argument is a valid argument and it is unquestionable other than to the people who reject reality. A postmodernist doesn’t demand truth, because they don’t believe in it. This is why postmodernists now demand change to the world, for the world to mold towards the individual's demands, as if the individual is Enki himself. We are not the gods of mythology, even if we act like one symbolically with writing. We may be rulers of the fictional world that we’re working on and have written, but we are most certainly not the rulers of the real world.
The best we can do is enjoy the guidance and assistance gods and goddesses grant us as we write and communicate with a higher realm through them. The ideas we use, the emotions we use, everything we put into a story is from beyond our brain and beyond our consciousness. Postmodernist writers think the world will bend at the knee for them, and that’s not how it works. Postmodernist readers think their opinion is to be never questioned and that’s not how it works either.
Currently, we are treated with movies that go nowhere, shows that are filled with virtue signaling, games that just try to be meta about political or industrial advocacy, and it’s an utter mess. Again, if these postmodernists said the truth about the media, we’d have positive results coming from them. But we don’t. We don’t have postmodernists making the next big classic and we don’t have readers understanding the most basic themes from something as old as mythology. All the while, the answers have been granted to us by our ancestors for thousands of years.
So far, I’ve covered emotions and the ability to write, but what exactly causes a reader to read something in the first place?
The opinion of a reader is subjective, but the interests of a reader is easy to predict due to the objectivity of behavior patterns and the fact that people who like a genre will read that genre. Genre is not the only factor, there is a lot that can turn the reader on and off. But we shall dive into that another time as we explore topics like the muse, the zodiacs, and personas.
Till next time.

Hey everyone, so I’ve just started burhurt coming from HEMA and realised that a lot of people in Burhurt arnt using typical techniques that I learnt in HEMA, hanging guard, properly defending the inside of the arm with a shield when doing a cut 1 ect. This made me feel bad for them cause I was able to land hits in sparing against them when they have 5 years of burhurt on me. But I was wondering if there are any resources for Hungarian shield similar to those of the highland broad sword and targe because it seems that the Hungarian shield is the most popular for burhurt altho if there isn’t I will just keep practicing my highland techniques and continue to use a targe.

hi i am 14 (f) now but when i was really young like 4-6 i have vivid memories of my older brother touching me and giving me oral. he was 11-13 and was already out as trans ftm, i mostly understood what it meant. i only knew him as my brother but i knew he had the same parts as me.
we were really close and would often have “sleepovers” and share a bed. when we were going to sleep he would pretend to be asleep and move his hand to my privates. it felt good and i used to hump his hand, i didn’t understand it. he at first would just trace the slit over my underwear but after a few times he went inside. he also started to go under the covers and eat me out. we never talked about this or did it in the daytime.
it kinda stopped for a bit but when he turned 15 he started testosterone and i heard one of the side effects is being really horny so maybe this is the reason it started again? i was 8/9 at this point and the same things happened again but this time he would get me to touch him. whilst his hand was on my privates he moved my hand to his. i felt kind gross about how sticky and wet it felt, but by this point i was starting to get wet myself it made me embarrassed.
the only time we ever spoke about it was when he asked me to lick him the way he licks me. i really loved my brother and loved what we did together, it felt good and he was my best friend. i didn’t really know what to do but i just copied how he ate me out. i remember his clit was really big and he told me to suck on it. only one time we did 69. ive never felt anything like it and he gave me my first orgasm.
when he turned 16 it stopped and he went to college a year later. i remained very hypersexual when he left. i missed him and so many confusing feelings came up when i learned that people touching you like that is wrong. i dont know it this is weird but i think about how i saw his private parts when he was 11 and i feel like a predator for that? even though i was the victim.

So simply, I think that countries with less homogeneity in population wise have a hard time to develop. Here's Why.
When you compare China, South Korea, Japan with India, we can observe an interesting factor.
We can start from the Year 1960.
GDP per capita of the states:
India - 83 dollars. China - 89 dollars. South Korea - 158 dollars. Japan - 475 dollars.
[This is just so that it's observed the four of these countries relatively started out at the same economic conditions.]
Japan is higher here, but still they all kinda belong to the same group here.
But the important thing to note here other than India, all the other countries have developed exponentially now, you might say it's due to good economic policies, catching up on industrialization earlier and liberalisation.
But it's due to homogeneity.
Japan - 96% of around Japanese people.
China - 91% of around Major Chinese Ethnic group and also with other people of chinese ethnicity with a fraction of foreign population.
South Korea - 97% of around Korean people.
India:
Ethnicity : 75%: Indo-Aryans, 25%: Dravidian, 3%: Mongoloids.
Don't think it's just based on ethnicity and race.
Linguistics divide is very major too:
Hindi 43.6% Bengali 8% Marathi 6.9% Telugu 6.8% Tamil 6.7% Gujarati 4.6% Urdu 4.2% Kannada 3.6% Odia 3.1% Malayalam 2.9% Punjabi 2.7% Assamese 1.3% Maithili1.1% other 5.6%
India has 26 official languages and HUNDREDS of languages spoken by people collectively. Literally every state feels like a different country.
Religion:
Hinduism (79.8%) Islam (14.2%) Christianity (2.3%) Sikhism (1.7%) Buddhism (0.7%) Tribal Religion (incl. Sarnaism, Bon, Animism, Kirat Mundhum, Donyi-Polo) (0.5%) Jainism (0.4%) No religion (inc. Atheism, Agnosticism, Secularism and Unanswered) (0.25%) Other (incl. Baháʼí Faith, Zoroastrianism, Judaism) (0.15%)
Caste: It's a social system based on hierarchy, which originated at Hinduism, but it's now adopted on Christianity and even Islam at India, from ancient times to today.
The Caste system simply divides people with already defined social structures which who knows who created but it's still followed, but it was so intense at the past, every occupation was connected to a social hierarchy and only those belonging to their social status can do the occupation they are connected to. This simply made the people who were designated for servantry and stuff like that face severe social problems and they face the consequences till now, basically people on the higher social ladder, became more rich and developed and people with low social hierarchy defined by the caste system saw their life being deteriorated decade by decade.
With all that in mind, One can easily say that India is the most diverse country on the planet. "Diverse" does sound good until it's actual effects are observed.
In India, people operate on already defined social structures rather than skill based, even though it has changed in recent times due to development it's still there.
A son of a sanitation worker can attain good economic status and social mobility if he has the skills to attain a better occupation.
NOT EVERY DALIT IS A SANITATION WORKER BUT EVERY SANITATION WORKER IS A DALIT.
[Dalit refers to a "low social hierarchy']
When you have people who are divided based on social levels, religion, creed, ethnicity, language, caste they don't care about development, they want to destroy each other.
British plainly took advantage of India's diversity and have made India fight for centuries, till now. And we have only attained development now that we atleast the same identity - INDIAN.
You could be whoever, but you are still an Indian, I think that identity simply made India a better place as compared to before with British Raj.
But still many think they represent their family, caste, creed, religion first and only then they are an Indian. Simply, India can develop if everyone are indians with religious, social, linguistic differences and not different religious, linguistic, social people being Indian.
That's why simply cities in India(or just the entire world) are far more developed than villages. In cities, nobody cares who are you, what's you history, you have money, you can eat and live. In a village they treat you based on your caste,creed, etc,. simply it just doesn't create an environment for economic progress. What happens when everyone thinks about others' caste and religion instead of their skills.
But in 1991, Liberalisation happened only because we all cooled down, and kinda accepted we are Indians.
But China, Japan, South Korea simpy didn't have to manage 50+ religions, hundreds of languages, THOUSANDS OF CASTE, CREED, SOCIAL DIFFERENCES. They simply were just one kind of people, so they started thinking about the betterment of life, so they made good policies and made economic progress. We have done that, but late to the party.
Simply, British won. India late to the party.
That's why India is seeing growth only now and not before a century, they are now under the same identity - Indian.
[I am not against diversity, instead I embrace it but just stating the problems it has caused and will cause, I am not against diversity, I am against discrimination. But discrimination happens in India simply because we are diverse.]

Hi everyone
I am still processing what happened and if someone has some legal advice on how to behave further, I would be very thankful.
To make a long night short: Yesterday evening I was visiting a restaurant/bar with a friend. After finishing up and paying we left the place and made our way to my flat which was within walking distance (5 minutes).
We saw that a crowd had gathered a few blocks ahead, but we had no idea what was going on. As we were in a densely populated and busy nightlife district, we didn't think anything of it and kept walking. As we got closer, we saw that the police had set up roadblocks there. We also gathered from people around us that an illegal demonstration has been taking place nearby. Realising that there would be no way through, we turned around to take a diversion.
Without us noticing, a chain of police had formed behind us, telling us that we were under investigation and that we were not allowed to leave. After quite a while we were body searched. Photos were taken and my personal belongings were kept from me. During this whole procedure we were not once told what was going on. No one spoke to us except to shout orders at us and insult. Finally, the police came to the conclusion that we would be arrested because of our clothes – or at least that is what I understood. We were both dressed in black, but definitely not in a way that would seem practical for a protest. My friend was wearing silk tights, a dress and an ankle length wool coat.
They then restricted our hands behind our backs with zip ties and we were taken away in one of those box vans. There we were tied to the seats and left alone. We don't know exactly how much time passed, but it must have been more than an hour. Before we were arrested, I mentioned that I needed a toilet urgently (yes, the world's smallest violin, I know) and was told that no one cared. So we sat tied up in the dark with no idea what was going on or how to communicate with anyone.
At last, we were driven to the police station and put in a cell with two other women. After more than another hour, we were released with the words that there was no reason to believe that we were at the illegal gathering.
Well, i know that our experience is certainly tame compared to what other people have to go through in terms of police arbitrariness. Nevertheless, we are shocked and angry that something like it happened. So my question is: is there any way for us to take countermeasures? The whole event took place in Switzerland and we are both citizens.

Today's game will be: Philadelphia Flyers (29-33-13) at Pittsburgh Penguins (37-29-10) at 6:00 PM ET.

My daughter is 5 this August, she has been at a kickboxing gym since a couple of months before her 4th birthday and we decided to put her through training as she is hard of hearing and wears hearing aid and we were worried that as she goes through school she could possibly get bullied for it and wanted her to be able to look after herself. She is currently a green belt and about to grade onto blue yet she still can't throw a real punch. She tends to throw over hand punches rather than a tight wristed actual punch and twisting her hips into it and using her bidy weight. They seem to be putting the kids into grading every 6 weeks lately. Does this class sound like a cash cow or is this normal for a kid's kickboxing class?

1. Can you refit a tire previously used in the race (Checo had hard tires after second SC which I assumed were another set)?
2. How many reconnaissance laps are allowed before the start of the race (I thought it was just one which takes you to the grid but noticed Checo did 2)?
3. Is there an option to give a grid penalty instead of a time penalty (Since the grid was just reset and Alonso got back his 3rd place, I'd think punishing Sainz in such a situation with a 5 second penalty feels extremely harsh!)?

Thank you for your answers! :)

I'm getting closer to understanding how this WiFi works. There needs to be more made clear about this.
The WiFi is really sensitive to the quality of the WiFi. In the same room, withing 10 visual feet from the router, on a separated WiFi6 bandwidth, I can get it to work as well as my Oculus. If I start getting farther away, or go into another room (wall), it drops off really fast. At 15 feet 2 walls, it's not playable without lowering the bitrate (how much, I have not tried yet).
Separating it from the general WiFi (where all of the nets were tied to the same SSID) helped a lot. It most likely stopped it from switching to WiFi 5 in the middle of something.
This very disappointing. I was hoping I could access this over a wider area than this. It is still within my use range, so I may keep it, but at $1100, I was hoping for a larger use range.
Is there a way to increase the WiFi antenna or boost the range.

I'm just wondering a question. I have about a car I bought used but from a new car dealership. Specifically a used BMW from a BMW dealership.
I bought the vehicle at an absolute steal. The problem is when I got into it to test drive it first time I hit the brakes the whole vehicles shook pretty violently. It sounded like a helicopter inside it as well and it did not stop that well at all.
I loved everything else about the vehicle and told them the brakes needed to be changed. I was told no, and that there was no room in the deal to change the brakes. I did not have the money for the down payment and also to get the brakes fixed. So it would have to wait until my first paycheck.
But 5 days later I rear-ended someone who stops. After up late in front of me. They were too carlings in front of me and we are going around 40. I had ample space in front of me but the vehicle just would not stop. I had the brakes as soon as he did his, but I still rolled into him going about 15.
My whole thing is that with the brick rotors being so badly warped, should they have passed this vehicles safety inspection?
