For semantic reasons.

Each element in HTML should correspond to a proper semantic element. For example, navigation elements should go within <nav>. Elements like <center> are remanants of the good ol days when css wasn't mature enough and you'd add color to an element via attributes. Obviously, center has no semantic meaning and pretty much useless in web dev now. It hasn't been removed but deprecated.

These are "should"s and not "must"s. This is why divs exist because many times it's hard to decide what semantic meaning a piece of content has, so divs are just generic components when you can't think of an better semantic tag.

what do you mean by places? If you are talking about general items in the menu, you can customise it by right clicking the menu and clicking edit menu

I have never been more sad to waste 30 seconds of my life to a spam ad trying to understand it if it was a hidden meme :(

Lol that's a pretty fun idea actually- just to see the commits evolve over time. I know there are over 1 million commits but yeah when you think about it all of them pretty much document the state of kernel at that time.

Some glance at the comments in the video tells me that this video aged like wine, the guy might be harassing coworkers. I say might because, I am not 100% sure.

It makes sense, I agree but speaking from personal experience from India where this positive discrimination called reservation exists, just leads to horrible segregation, it flares up every now and then in people. People from high castes always curse the lower ones for not getting their "supposed government job" that they should have gotten. Such measures should be entirely based on economic status and not some birth status. I say this because I know plenty of rich but lower caste people who have terribly exploited this system.

I also agree that in the end, matters relating to such birth statuses are complicated. If only humans could co exist all peacefully but alas.

It's absurd if that's true. Who would in their right mind believe this solves any racism? If anything it creates more segregation about races. It's the social acceptance that minorities need not economic or education privilege. Sad times.

It's not socially acceptable anywhere in the urban places but in rural places it can a quite a problem.

I have lived my entire life in a urban city without any discrimination whatsoever, but I have also heard of rural places where they would literally burn people alive for intercaste marriage.

One of the main reasons it's not extinct yet is because people love to take "pride" in their caste. There are plenty of songs dedicated to "jatt" people, people of a higher caste. "Khatris" are often glorified in movies for fighting. You can see the problem is same as if white people started making songs on "being white and proud" and Britishers claiming victory in ww2 because they were "white". It's absurd and I have felt the pain but I am thankful for the present situation and I suppose it's better than being burnt alive haha.

Yes there is reservation and that's absurd too, imagine if "black" people were allowed reservation for jobs in government.
