Some day I will do a internet deep dive which generation of Americans shifted to premade mixed and stopped cooking things from scratch. Nothing wrong with that, just different especially in grandma generation.

You are missing couple of points : awareness of such tool, downloading of huge archives, and strong collection interest in people. I know people who.str happy to play Mario look-alike.js game instead of figuring out retroarch.

Last point : flash games peaked when rest of the world didn't have very fast interest. Only 0.1% had it or interested in it

New comment by desi_ninja in "What a caste discrimination ban means for Americans"

desi_ninja — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 16:26:13 +0000

There is nothing uniquely different about caste discrimination than Shia/Sunni divide among Muslims or Han Chinese/non. If you goto Africa, similar fault lines are there. It is social evil which is at verge of extinction in a generation or two, unless provided oxygen by these laws. There isn't a widespread precedence for a law which uniquely targets Indians and them asked to prove their non-caste behaviour. Current anti discrimination laws are good. Still these laws keep getting passed. This is witch hunting.
