Well Uttar Pradesh (UP) is our most populous as well as one of the most corrupted, inefficient and kinda poorest state. Very well known for doing this kind of stuff :ablobblewobble:

@mur2501 Sounds like an ego problem as well, instead of just fessing up with a 'Eh, our bad. We'll make sure not to do this again!'
Now they're a laughing stock. Yay. :P

But then, they'd probably not be corrupt, inefficient, and be kinda poorest state if they could deal with it properly. ;)

@trinsec
Can't help, They also elected an hindu extremist monk as the Chief Minister of the State

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Adi

The only notable thing Yogi did till now is that he changed the muslim names of cities and towns from the Mughal era to Hindu names :ablobdundundun:

@mur2501 Heh. So, whose cousin of someone high up was this Yogi dude? ;)

@mur2501 I don't think I can agree with that. Vin still has a hint of sexy over him. Not seeing that in the pic of that not-a-bear-stealing-picnic-baskets guy.

@trinsec
Who cares, he is an extremist douchebag sinking the already underdeveloped state.

Anyway I found this video (just watch it full :ablobcatwink: ) of a political rally from UP from the same right wing party yogi belongs to and which is currently ruling India. The fat guy in the blue is the current roads and transport minister of India :ablobdundundun:

@mur2501 What exactly am I looking at? I mean, why watch the full video? The most interesting bit seems to be in the first 10 seconds when the stuff went crashing down. The rest is just guiding him away and talky?

@trinsec
It's just a political event which that minister was attending. The stage equipment was so old or the politicians were so fat that the stage went down :blobcatupsidedown:

@trinsec
A very good political spoof here, the Narcos trailer adapted to Indian politics (SOUND: No dialogues or anything just the normal Narcos opening track).

@mur2501 Heh. My mitro, I had to check Netflix if they had Narcos, and they did so I could go compare. I have never watched Narcos. :p

Yeah, there are huge similarities. ;)

Thanks for the sound cues. ;)

@trinsec
I have also not watched Narcos though it seems very good and nice

I would from now on try to add souds clues to posts containing audio or video (especially if they lack subs). Also I will write captions for images too :ablobcatangel:

@mur2501 D'awww... :blobcatlove:

And images have sound? 😜
Otherwise it is called a meme!

@trinsec
It would be cool if we could produce the sensation of sound just by vision :ablobblewobble:

@mur2501 Yeah, there are ways for that in sign language. Sometimes sign language is superior to subtitles in ways of conveying the tone and atmosphere over to the viewer. I'm more comfortable with text myself, having learned sign language only since my teens, but I know a lot of deaf people who really need sign language to be able to understand.

You could also add certain kinds of animations. Music notes coming out of a radio would be a simple example I guess.

@trinsec
So your hearing problem is since birth? Or something else? :blobcatsadreach:

@mur2501 Hehehe, you won't believe it but...
I got extremely ill and became severely hard of hearing at toddler age because of a virus carried over by dirty stray cats. 😋

Hearing got progressively worse over time, I was pretty much deaf when I was 10 or so years old. Hearing aids were only good to tell me 'oh hey, here is sound!' and started to annoy the fuck out of me. When I became a teenager I threw away my hearing aids, that was so much better for my sanity.

So yeah, I learned sign language only around age 10 or so.

@trinsec
Ohh bad cat :ablobcatgrumpy:
Can't it be made better surgically?? :ablobcatbongo:
