No that's Kashmir.

Punjab is technically a region that also happens to be the name of the province in both Pakistan and India since they both encompass the same region.

The famous tank man photo? That guy wanted the tanks to stay to make sure the area was safe. He was protesting them leaving. There's video of him that I guarantee people like you haven't seen despite it being on YouTube.

Aye man cmon not even the most patriotic Red White Blue American believes the IRS are good guys lol

The thing I remember about this movie was that India got mad one of the fictional aliens from this movie decided to land in Pakistan instead of India.

The other thing I remember was that they for some reason decided to show the location on the map as "Punjab, Pakistan" which is even more generic because it's a province not a city.

EU folds immediately whenever the USA walks in drunk with its imperialist demands.

Did jack shit during the entire Israel-Gaza situation because the number one rule is to not piss off Uncle Sam.

Even their international trade standards get regularly abused by the US to impose sanctions on anyone they want, without acting like they're responsible.

Pakistan had all these dumbass trade restrictions that magically got lifted the literal day their democratically elected PM was thrown in jail. All of the sudden the IMF (UN, just one example) shut the hell up about gas subsidies and opened the loan book like nothing happened.

Hey buddy this isn't reddit where you can activate your neurons with a karma counter.

You don't have to repost smuggle content with bait titles for literally any reason.

I don't even think communities here have a way to prevent users from posting without a requirement, including joining a community.

Okay but there actually is a pretty significant difference between eggs at the store vs buying them from someone who has chickens.

There was actually an egg shortage a while ago, but lots of people who were raising chickens couldn't sell their eggs because, and I quote, "they were too rich in flavor and texture, so people didn't like them".

It was hilarious and sad that high quality eggs was just something no one ever tasted before, so they couldn't suddenly get used to the flavor.

It'd be like if you drank skim milk your whole life only to find out regular "whole" milk is actually supposed to be creamy lol

I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.

Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol

I think there's even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don't have to even bother finding a pirate copy.

"Yeah well China will never become eco friendly"

Gaben already refused to sell to EA and made it abundantly clear that we would rather let valve die than go public.

Microsoft also just recently said they'd buy Nintendo if they could.

All this means is that Microsoft is filthy rich and still doesn't know how to make an original quality game studio. They seem to overly rely on buying out studios and IPs that are successful to rake in more money.

spoilerAll of which reeks of an oligigopoly and reminds me of even worse companies like Oracle and AT&T
