Reply to comment by KnightFox in Russia can't meet India arms deliveries due to Ukraine war, Indian Air Force says | CNN by Ducati_Don

That idea went out the window almost a decade ago when they realized that they not only did not have the tooling, nor the heavy industry. But also the brains needed to start, and back such programs. The people that would have helped usually leave for the US, or Europe after getting their degrees. Or more likely stayed in those places after getting said degrees. it also doesn't help that they are having to increasingly pay to upkeep their older weapons, models. Mainly ships etc. So the domestic arms industry has been pushed back as a result.

But the Government did built plenty of temples etc. So there's that.

Reply to Darcelle, world's oldest working drag queen, dies at 92 by PhillipCrawfordJr

That is fucking amazing, good on 'em. That said, genuine question, the article says they used female pronouns on stage but male pronouns off stage. In the case of talking to them like this, in a news context of an individual, which pronoun would be appropriate? I mean, Darcelle is a she, but they are still a person outside of drag, and the entire person, drag and all, passed away. The article uses he, but I want to make sure that is the appropriate one. I don't want to use the wrong pronouns.

The nationality thing is always so funny to me, like are people really this simple that they think countries are responsible for the actions of their citizens? By this logic, New Zealand should have gone after Australia after the Christchurch terrorist attack.
