Yeah, he would have had a few words for lavish weddings. Would have whipped some motherfukkers.

It's a problem with Indian society. Every dumbfukk wants to outspend his neighbour and show off. There are some aspects of Indian society that are just sick.

Yeah. And, as I noted, they will take funds from loan sharks to fund a child's wedding.

@Gobb
Parents in this country will literally bankrupt themselves for a lavish wedding.

 

I wouldn't even recognize half of these people. Lol. Not to mention that i would rather spend the money on a house you'd buy with your wie, or anything else. For that wedding they paid 68k € for.

 

68k euro? That's three years of rent for a posh three-bedroom apartment in a posh area of Frankfurt.

Still works out way cheaper than a middle class Indian wedding though, after adjusting for PPP.

agree

 

- When you don't own what you "purchased".
- When you get ads after paying a subscription for a service that sold itself as ad-free.
- When you can't enjoy a show you like due to censorship.
- When you can't find a show you want to watch due to it being geo-restricted or even outright banned in the country.
- When your money that they take doesn't go to the creators and authors, but to boardroom parasites.
- When things have gotten so bad that even the creators/authors of the game or show or even the books you like support piracy. Yup, it is that bad.

Good afternoon, Monkey Nuts.

 

Subscription services were a mistake. They should be banned outright.

Oof... Buddy... Cars are now coming with subscription-based services.

- Tesla is asking for a subscription to unlock the full range/capacity of the electric vehicles' batteries. They are also considering a tier-based subscription plan for charging speed of some models. They will also consider locking you out of your own car at any time, based on certain conditions.
- BMW is asking for a subscription to use the heated seat feature, and may introduce subscription for breaking/ABS features.
- Volkswagen refused to share (with the FBI no less) location details of one of their cars until the parents of the kidnapped child in said car paid them a fee to access the data.

I am not making this up, brother.

 

Regulation? Shit, man, this stuff needs to be done away with outright for certain things. A subscription-based model for just watching movies is bad enough. But a subscription-based model for personal vehicles, security systems, software in devices you own, GPS and other location services, safes & bank lockers (yes, this is a thing) is just bonkers.
