The “bhai kya kar raha hai tu” moment.

•⁠  ⁠One thing is clear - AI is going to take away jobs, and not just engineers.
•⁠  ⁠So many "AI & SaaS" startups are just plain OpenAI wrappers. Their teams know what can be done "faster, better,smoother" but don't know how. One company even credited them in their poster. Well, honest at least 💁‍♀️
•⁠  ⁠They let in too many nibbi/nibbas and there were queues everywhere
•⁠  ⁠People selling skin brightening creams in 2024 is still very weird to me
•⁠  There's an electric cycle startup called Booty (i'm not making this up 💁‍♀️)
•  In all, the management was very good. Food was expensive though 😢 
•⁠  ⁠Best is the picture below, how Biryani tends to find me. This time the dogs are having fun too!

Startup Mahakumbh, Delhi : Experience Review

Consultant

So recently while I was in the shower, I was just thinking how our streets are littered with so much trash, and how can we clean it up. It just occurred to me if we could train animals to clean up litter, for example monkeys or dogs, in return for treats (food). Given that stray street dogs are more common in India, is it possible to train them and have them collect trash and place it in something like a dustbin nearby?

This way the dogs get taken care of, and the streets are also kept clean.

I'm sure the idea might sound weird, but I'm just thinking out loud and would like to know the pros and cons of this method.

Train street dogs to pick up litter?

Swiggy is slowly becoming unusable. They have already increased minimum amount in Instamart for free delivery from 99 to 149 to 199 now. This is really becoming a problem. Is there any other alternative to this? They are slowly showing their true colours now that they are aiming profitability.

I have found a job but they’re asking me to move to Hyderabad. I don’t know if I should take it and leave my dog alone with my parents. My dog is 12 years old and she’s very attached to me. 

Plus I need to take up my career opportunity since I am 27 so I don’t really know what to do. I’ve been under a lot of pressure to decide. If someone can share their experiences or thoughts it’ll be helpful. 

TIA

Following wester consumerism blindly is the reason when most DINK couple decides not to have kids. The age old colonial term of "civilising the brown is white man's responsiblity".
Let me burst this bubble of ever happy life and not having dependency of kids,they are not investment,etc etc.
 I wont highlight if its right or wrong here for it lots of post are there. I better highlight what will happen after next 20 30 years as I can learn from west(USA) lifestyle pattern.
All these people have kept most of their money in *paper* assets like PF,Bank FD,stocks. Reason for highlighting the word paper will see.
 As the number of oldies will increase over youngsters. Govt will need more youngsters as economy is worked upon by them. No loan takers,no new consumers. What will happen stock prices will fall,same goes for bank interest ,in worst case you wont be ablw to withdraw your principal even(happening in australia, people have to inform why they are withdarwing cash to bankers).
Next for pf: when ww contribute to PF we pay foe the payback of current retired generation or basically we are paying their debt. But due to lack of youngster no one will pay your debt so forget your PF as well.
This is how your money bubble of Crores will vanish. 
There is a term debt to gdp ratio, ever heard? Its the debt taken by govt from future generations to develop current lifestyle. Hence still govt need people to sustain and payback that debt so they will allow illegal immigrants ( what you are seeing in USA and Europe in name of "multicultralism").
And you know what? These rowdy immigrants will fill your city and you will become second class citizen why cause its democracy and majority rules. Noone will protect you leave alone police actually there is no one "left" to protect you( read statements of Canadian police regarding car thefts you will find similarities).
Still oldies are there so new experimentation on assisted suicides(Canada is leading the way in current timeframe).

Starts barking loudly whenever we start getting cosy. Keeping him outside the room will also make him bark his head off.

Never seen this level of jealousy before in dogs 😂 happens with different women too, not even one in particular. 

Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

Today was quite an eventful day for me. I was expecting a delivery, and when the delivery person arrived, I was just a few minutes away from home. I told him “I’m literally entering the society give me 5-10 mins” reached back within the promised time, only to see him driving away. I tried to call him, but he had the audacity to say “ab nhi milega saman, ab toh kal hi milega chahe jo karna hai karlo” he was hardly 20m away from my house when he said this. I contacted customer support, who initially promised delivery within an hour, but after two hours of no delivery i called them again and they informed me that the delivery was marked as attempted and could only happen the next day. Feeling upset, I asked to speak with a senior about the delivery person's behavior, but even that CS guy defended delivery partner’s action. The guy was so rude, and I wished I had recorded the conversation. 
However, I decided to check if BlinkIt had the product, and luckily, BlinkIt did and got it delivered to me in just 12 minutes, at the same price🎉. 
As for my Flipkart order, I won't cancel it, but I'll make sure to reschedule every time they attempt delivery. It might not change much, but i guess it would be my way to take revenge 🙂.

Ugh, this is so frustrating!

My dog just peed on a car tire parked on the road, and the owner went ballistic. They were super rude and yelled a bunch of insults, even though I'm a really responsible pet owner who always cleans up after my dog generally when he poops.

They kept calling me names and demanding I clean the tire with lizol. The whole thing left me speechless! She stood der until she got the pleasure of seeing an other human being clean her car and get some ego satisfied.

It's crazy how some people react.  Is this normal in Bangalore, or did I just encounter a particularly grumpy dentist?
This kind of negativity makes me wonder if the whole city is like this.  Maybe everyone's just stressed?
I have never experienced this is mumbai/kerala/chennai.
Why bangalore? 

Anyway, I just needed to vent about this bizarre experience.

Ugh, this is so frustrating!

At this point it's just Boot Licking Delivery app founders.
How come the opinion of a sample size of 1000 *young people* who are not even gig workers, get to be representative of whether gig worker unions should have right to bargain wages.

Everyone knows how harsh and unsafe the working conditions of delivery partners/gig workers are. On top of it now these companies are squeezing their wages to become profitable.

Not trying to moral police folks who order food and groceries online(even I do it), but this is just not sustainable. Sometimes it just feels wrong someone is traveling 5+ kms just to deliver me food and the guy/gal is not even being compensated properly.

And the below article is definitely not journalism or even reporting.

I followed a lot of these so called CP influencers on LinkedIn or X. and see most of these people stay in their job for long time. 1 person who just passed out of college joined Zomato (referral only), made so many post about work etc, but left in 6 months (acc to his LinkedIn ). seen other cases as well. 
acc to CP/DSA is most important for SDE, then why cant they work, is it because of money from their courses or they cant sustain in their job.

I have 6 years if experience but dont think only CP helps you

I grew up with a stay at home mom but I have plenty of friends who grew up with “power couple” parents. If anything, the kids with working moms were better prepared for school and were more... polished? And I know plenty of fuck ups whose retarded moms stayed at home and/or whose parents ended up in nasty ass divorces with their “helpless” moms cleaning out their dads.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with nannies and having help. You grow to love them in a different way and they give you another perspective as you grow. It’s not like kids with nannies automatically assume that their parents don’t love them, and it’s rare for both parents to be completely absent all the time unless they never wanted kids in the first place. I feel like the argument against nannies and career women is usually made from bitter people who can’t afford them

I won’t settle for someone who doesn’t have a career. Not a job, a career. Maybe she’ll make the decision to stay at home for a few years but I don’t want to bankroll the seamless and reality show watching habits of an intellectually lazy partner for the rest of my life. I’ve seen firsthand the type of woman who doesn’t want to be challenged, what happens to the men who marry them, and how their kids turn out. Fuck that noise. This isn’t the 1980s

And if you think you can maintain your lifestyle in Bangalore/Mumbai once you have kids on a single income, think again, especially when your friends have paired off with those dreaded career girls.
