    Fucked up headline out of India? Checks article Yep, UP. Dunno if that’s confirmation bias, or if the place really is that bad, though.

      Idk if it’s still the case but there used to be a guy that would post here all the time about terrible stories coming out of there which lead to at least a little confirmation bias among people. Especially since it was during the great Reddit exit.

      There are 240 million people there (almost double the next most populous state) and it is one of the poorest states in the country. So it’s not confirmation bias; just a whole lot of really fucking poor people who do not have great access to basic education.
