Police is blaming BMTC. BMTC is blaming the victim. No one is blaming the real culprit @BBMPofficial that is somehow always doing " Road work" but there are no proper roads Anywhere. Why are we paying road tax again?

Hi @3rdEyeDude @blrcitytraffic This was near RxDx Marathahalli, 22 Jul 2025 People brazenly riding on the footpaths. vehicle numbers captured.

Already dropped the Dm with details a few days ago and not a single update till now. All these quick responses just for a show @wizzair ??

Many unemployed grads choose to pay for low-value courses rather than take lower-paid internships that offer real learning. It seems we value a certificate more than the real-world experience that truly matters.

I went to @bankofbaroda oxford school, JP Nagar, Bangalore branch to enquire about duplicate fastTag. The person at the 2nd counter asked me if I have an account in her branch. She said she cannot help me unless I have an account in her branch...

You have to be extremely careful about variables not being set or set to empty values in Bash. I remember a scenario described by one of my colleagues. You want to delete the contents of a directory. The name of the directory is provided in an environment variable. What if the variable is not set? Here is what will happen! Imagine if I had use "rm" instead of "echo" here and I was logged in as root.

Bruh, he's not dead. And he was politically surgically removed aka, made to step down

Are people able to use @Outlook and @MicrosoftTeams on their browsers? It kicked me out of the PWA and it's just not letting me login through the browser. What shit is this. I'm able to use the windows app but on Linux, nothing is working. #Teams is not teaming with users

LONG POST WARNING - “Influencers” don’t really work the way you think they do. The biggest myth of social media is the impact of influencers in CHANGING voting decisions. They don’t. They are however very effective in REINFORCING political choices. First. Understand all social media works differently. Instagram is not twitter, twitter is not youtube & youtube is not Instagram. They are similar but not the same. Check your own Instagram - you’ll see you follow what you aspire for but can’t really afford or do. They can get you to make calls and inquire about those holidays in Maldives & Costa Rica, but most can’t afford it. Nothing the influencer says or does will change the reality that you can’t afford it. So why do companies pay influencers? Simple - the more likes & comments the post gets the higher the probability that someone who can afford it will see it. The walkthrough is massive but catchment is minuscule. Now do youtube - people discover new things - like Instagram. But unlike Instagram (which is food, travel, lifestyle thirst traps) - Youtube is about information. Be it recipes, deep dives into history, etc etc etc. for many people youtube is WHYtube, because it answers the why. Yet even here the Instagram dictum plays out. You’ll watch someone say something - say a liquor scam explainer. It will either bufuddle you, irritate you, or excite you. Your follow will be dictated by one of these 3. Befuddlers don’t get followers (nuance doesn’t sell). Irritaters do get followers - antagonistic ones, who enjoy getting irritated. Exciters get the most followers because they are articulating something you felt, but couldn’t verbalise or crystallise. And this brings us to twitter. Imagine if Rana Ayyub stood for elections in her native mumbai. Do you think she’ll get the 1.6 million votes of her followers? Of course not - they’re geographically distributed. Like multi-award winner Irom Sharmila who barely managed 1000 votes. Twitter following is geographically distributed and contributes squat to actual elections. The same applies for Youtube. Similarly on twitter too you have befuddlers, irritaters and exciters - with similar following. Yet again many walk-ins/enquiries/walkthrough but minuscule catchment. The good thing about twitter is you can actually measure this. I have 230K followers, but my videos can sometimes get over 1 million views but more often 40-50K views or much less. Even less are the number of people who like and even less are people who RT. The RT guys are your voters - because RTing like voting is a commitment - it requires effort (QTing and replying require even more effort). Now transpose this to voting day. The effort of walking in the Sun or taking your car out, standing in queue, and the prior effort of ensuring you got your voting slip and your name was on the roll - all require VASTLY more effort than tapping out a few sentences on your phone on twitter. The more the effort/cost - the less the catchment & even this meagre catchment is hopelessly divided by physical geography. Statistically therefore influencers simply don’t influence elections at all. They are at best the marketing department whose salary gets measured by footfalls - unlike the sales department whose salary depends on actual sales. Influencers are just that - marketers - the party cadre are the real salesmen. And as we’ve seen - footfalls ≠ sales. So if influencers have convinced you they’re salesmen and you’re depending on them, best of luck, because this con-job is one of the dirty secrets of the marketing industry. Think of this in geopolitical terms - everyone knew on which side they would be if Russia invaded Ukraine or the Pandavas and Kauravas went to war right? Did any video or sermon change anyone’s view? Heck! Krishna reciting the Bhagawad Gita didn’t change the Kauravas mind did it? And you think some hourly rental little shit sitting in germany will?

youtu.be/DmmFJXcTzb4?si=Vplo… It's so hot in #Bangalore right now that I can't help but think how relevant Captain Planet is right now. "Our planet is in peril". 100%

It's not every day I get to debunk a study! 😁 A recent study claiming that Time Restricted Eating (TRE) increases the risk of cardiovascular death by 91% has been scaring people who are into TRE or Intermittent Fasting. Is there any truth to these claims and should you be scared? I break it down for you.

The new auto drivers are the lounge people in Bangalore airport. Rejecting cards left right and centre. These buggers at @HDFC_Bank don't tell you that it's not valid on a newly built terminal. So useless. #halfassedAdvertising

Narendra Modi

#Bengaluru folks, please help?

It's still at 5mins. Instead of owning up and apologizing, these shits don't change the time and then go *WOWWWW. WE GOT YOU FOOD* I can't believe such useless services are still surviving
