@Rhombus The capsicum seedlings seem to be coming along nicely. I split the monstera into two and the OG one is doing well but the separated one is suffering from separation anxiety (and I'm regretting my decision) so hoping it survives.

Two of my aglaonema are throwing unnecessary fits and I can't, for the life of me, figure out why they're acting this way! The lime pothos are also being drama queens and a few cuttings have died on me... I had quite a few so I'm hoping at least some survive and pull through... I'm actively hunting for new cuttings, the next free evening I get I'm going to go to my local park and steal some cactus cuttings.

The way you explained 🫰

@satan I wish there was a simple directory, I wouldn't have to spend 5 years in law school then!

A general rule I like to say is, if you think it makes sense to have a rule for or against something, there probably is one.

Unfortunately, in India, there are no employment laws for white-collar workers. We have a new labour code that has been approved by the Parliament, but it hasn't been notified yet (and no one knows when or if it might be). You have to rely on existing case precedence or principles of law.

In India (and in common law), the party with less power in a contract or negotiation, is always favoured. So the employee (the lower the rank, the better) is given the benefit against the company, the consumer against the company, and the insurance taker against the insurance company.

For road safety, I advice never to hand over your licence or papers to the cops, always SHOW them on Digilocker and refuse to hand over your phone. If you're ever being accosted by the Police or feel like you're being extorted, DO NOT show off how well you know the law. ALWAYS be polite and ask them what is the issue and that you wish to call a senior/elder person. In India refusing to reveal your name and cooperating with the police is a cognizable offence (police can arrest without warrant). Unfortunately, do to practical reasons, it is easy for the police to make your life difficult if they wish to. Always be super polite and ask them their names and police stations. Try to ensure all dealings happen in a public place. Refuse to understand any "indications" or "indirect" gestures, always ask them to spell out what they want.

Ooh, I found the material they give to learner drivers to be very helpful in terms of traffic rules and violations. Also, there is a concept of absolute responsibility in law - ie, whoever has the more dangerous/onerous object, they have a higher duty of care. So if you're in a car and you hit a pedestrian, even if the pedestrian was a little at fault, the prima facie responsibility is yours because you are in control of the more dangerous machine.

I was asking about driving rules because many folks literally just dont follow any rules at all, esp autos and two wheelers guys. And when I stop at red signal, obv I’m being called out by many strangos’ about how I could have dodged that signal and let them pass too.

In metro aswell (basically common sense) they won’t follow the rules. I guess there should be a penalty for people who are breaking the queue, and trying to board the metro before letting others to drop off. Everyone is busy, but shoving others, filling people inside metro like vegetables is not okay.

Thank you for the heads up about not to SHOW OFF to the police. A digitlocker part and public place. But can we also video record the interaction, just to be safe?

Honestly, this really depends on how much time and effort you're willing to put in and the court your case is in.

The South Delhi Consumer Commission is known for resolving cases super quickly and are strict with adjournments, but cases still drag on for years.

One of my family members is a part of a case against a builder in the NCDRC and the case took 8 years and still did not yield a particularly favourable judgement, however, another case in the same bench received a favourable verdict in 2 years.

So it really depends on how active you are and how active your counsel is. If they're attending courts, they've got all their papers in order and are demanding early hearings. The Court has thousands of cases, they're not going to give you special treatment till to force them to do it.

@JadeArgentPlease check, have Dm you, request guidance on approach on upcoming case i will be filing against builder

@Tony_Montana I still haven't seen the show!!

You should! ASAP!!

@Grub96 I did BA LLB. I graduated in 2022. I work with an international law firm and I take on a few private clients as well. On an average, I take home about $4000 a month, give or take a bit.

My compensation is on the higher side for my level of experience but that is because I worked super super hard to develop the skills I did and I work a super high risk job. Its very stressful and very volatile.

@JadeArgent Oh that's awesome. I've heard many discourage from doing LLB after graduation because outcomes of BALLB and LLB are vastly different. People don't really get the corporate jobs after LLB. But how is the outcome of say someone who does an LLB after BTech and they want to go independent?

ofc its doge, TO THE SKY

@Elon_Musk Hahaha, I wishhhhh

But, I can tell you this much, most big investors have a lot of investments in new age extremely high risk coins. They either make a bank or threaten the company to refund or just write off the loss

@Sexy Ek ache CA ke saath conspire kar ke

@necro Very good question. It has absolutely nothing to do with the population. In fact, the Parliament has passed a new wage code but it hasn't been notified. It's not the best thing in the world, but it definitely A step. It does make it mandatory for a company to clear an employee's FnF within 2 days of termination.

Internationally, there are employment laws where if the FnF is not cleared within 14 days or so, an additional penalty is applied on the employer. I think that can be a good provision.

The reason why we don't have it is the same reason why we don't have an AI law, the same reason why we're still waiting for proper Mental Health Rules under the Bill, it isn't a priority for the government and no one is working on it.
