To all the Bob the Builders from Bimaru states who claim that they built Bengaluru. Go through this thread you'll know who was the Real Builder and Visionary ! All hail Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar of Mysuru Samsthana !

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

if you think uncomfortable conversations are hard wait until you see the results of not having them

@cb_doge At this rate they're gonna need another Australia lol

UK is a prison island. Retweeting something can get you arrested in the UK.

Not everyone you meet irl is a human being

A local bar was so confident their bartender was the strongest man around that they offered a standing $1,000 bet. The bartender would squeeze a lemon until every last drop of juice was in a glass, then hand the lemon to a customer. Anyone who could squeeze out even one more drop would win the money. Over the years, many people tried, including weightlifters, dock workers, and bodybuilders, but nobody could do it. One day, a skinny little man in thick glasses and a cheap polyester suit walked in and said in a tiny squeaky voice, “I’d like to try the bet.” After the laughter had died down, the bartender said okay, grabbed a lemon, and squeezed until the rind was completely dry. Then he handed it to the little man. The bar fell silent as the man clenched the lemon in his fist… …and six more drops fell into the glass. The crowd erupted. The bartender handed over the $1,000 and asked, “What do you do for a living? Are you a lumberjack? A weightlifter?” The man replied, “I work for the IRS.”

Hopefully it happens to you. Nightfall gives a black colour to all but your most clear contemplations. You wake up from your dreamlike state to see how you’ve been living. How far away your life is from what you know you’re capable of. How many of your natural talents you have allowed to decay due to a lack of urgency and direction. How many times you said yes out of obligation or guilt when the “no” stuck in your throat would have given you the momentum you needed. How much time has vanished, never to be accounted for. You wake up with a sufficient amount of disgust to get started. New heights become available to you only after you experience that day.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

Hey Bob's Bar Bengaluru, why must customers key in their phone number and validate it via OTP before they can even place an order? A beer and a bite shouldn’t require surrendering personal data. The Government of India’s Department of Consumer Affairs has already advised businesses not to insist on mobile numbers as a mandatory precondition for sale or billing, and that such data should only be collected with express consent.

Read the owner's manual of any petrol vehicle in India which is mfd before April 2023 and it'll say the same "Alcohol blended petrol with more than 10% ethanol is detrimental to the health of the vehicle". But NiGa knows more about the vehicle engine than the company which made it.

Indian billionaires are not failed Elon Musks. They are successful lala-dhandho operators. Their genius is not in building rockets, robots or AI labs. It is in figuring out how to sit between the state, the consumer and the supply chain, then extract rent from all three. Buy low, Sell high. Capture a protected market and create a monopoly, then use monopoly profits to fund political party you want favours from. Then you keep winning lucrative tenders. Or otherwise just import in bulk from Alibaba and slap a Made in India sticker, preferably with tricolour packaging. Sell it to nationalism paglus at premium pricing. If that fails, launch some fake ayurvedic concoction claiming to cure every disease known to man and call it civilizational wisdom. This is the lala-dhandho complex. Frontier R&D requires patience, technical obsession and appetite for uncertainty. Leave that to the goras and chinis.

@morais970454 @ZerOO50442093 @AaladaMara @blrcitytraffic I have spoken with people even as far as in Delhi complaining about the dehat drivers of KL lol 😆 Take the L uncle. Of course there are really good drivers in KL but they all moved to 'gelf' I guess 😹

@morais970454 @ZerOO50442093 @AaladaMara @blrcitytraffic You guys are exporting your worst dehat lot to our state. I don't know what it is with your people the moment you enter a big city in any state, all the chapriness just get turned up to 110... Is it because you guys don't have a proper metropolitan city like us?

10 days ago, a 22 Year-old Malayalee student nearly killed an old man(he is still in ICU 😞😞 ) in a hit-and-run near my house in Bengaluru. He came back only because he lost his iPhone at the spot. We caught him, he first denied his mistake by offering ₹5k, then 10k .

Middle class Indians have stood by Modi ji and his government through demonetisation, through fuel prices being at ₹100 even while crude was at its lowest in years, paid that same price for E10 and then E20 as it shortened their engines’ & cars lives, through pot hole ridden roads, terrible air quality, dirty water and taxes on every single investment. Even as bureaucratic corruption thrives and bleeds the average Indian dry and the same man who said, “Na Khaonga, na khane dunga”, asks for yet another sacrifice from them in the name of patriotism. Please take your outrage elsewhere. The average Indian pays sacrifices more than necessary for the nation, let the politicians and babus who live on taxpayer money lead by example on austerity. Strip them of their privileges, have every single one of them go under the ED radar and then talk.

The only solution for this is to either not work a regular job at all, or to work an extremely difficult high stakes job. Nothing in-between. Your brain moves in too many directions for a monotonous 9-5 – fine for most – but it will destroy your spirit.

gonna play the heck out of GTA 6 simply because of its status as a cultural artefact: the final big game built before LLMs no-one will ever invest this much in a game again, no software will ever encode this quantity of hands-on human labour again. the last of the great pyramids

Your Aesthetic can be cultivated, learned, and studied. To an extent it may even be copied or stolen. This can never be said for Taste. Taste is the unconscious perception of the true inner essence of things, and how aesthetic might express it; it is a spiritual quality.

Once you reach adulthood you have to actively relearn how to have fun We don't think of it this way, but enjoying your life is a skill Society tries to dictate what's 'acceptable' to enjoy, so a degree of introspection, self respect, & civil disobedience is required to do this

This is why I've said that when you're out of the 9 to 5 you meet people who were previously invisible to you.
