Mrs. Gamaddi decided that perhaps she was putting a bit too much pepper in Mr. Gamaddi's curry.

"This picture is not funny"

Interestingly enough, I did have some 'issues' about posting that pic.  But taken in context, it's not as bad as you one might conclude from just looking at the conditions.

Apparently some houses were illegally built in Kathmandu (Nepal) .  The police demolished the houses, and the people kicked out were just returning to scavenge any belongings.

So they weren't really living in squalor or exceptionally inhumane conditions (as the pic implies).   They were just in 'recovery mode'.

Of course, the issue of having their homes destroyed and why is a completely different moral and legal issue (of which I have no other facts to offer).

While his friends "String of Flags" and "Scraps of Clothing" were being rescued from the rubble, "Red Bucket" wondered if anyone would notice him clinging to the last vestiges of life on top of the barely holding together roof.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

"I knew we should have got double glazed windows!!!"
The sun beyond the mountain glows
The yellow river seaward flows
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

Some called them nerds, but for these people Fallout LARPing was a way of life.

The investigation is on.
