Interesting things I found/saw on the internet, a thread:

an easy tell for AI-drafted contracts is they’re annoyingly neutral. mutual caps, reciprocal indemnities, reps for both sides, etc. looks balanced/fair. probably wrong for what you’re actually doing. /1

Before pride month starts im just gonna say this: -men’s mental health month is in November -straight pride isn’t a thing. Nobody has ever been oppressed or killed for being straight -veterans get 2 months. May and November So do some research before complaining :)

Students see no issue using AI to complete their assignment because they have been conditioned to treat schooling as a means to a capitalist end and not a tool for acquiring knowledge. The proliferation of AI is just making this very explicit for those who didn’t already know.

Fyi guys- the year is like 40% over 🥰

Much of the hate and support against the Delhi Gymkhana comes from the resentment towards the fact that the rich still have access to quiet, clean, well-managed spaces insulated from the everyday collapse of public infrastructure in Indian cities. Private clubs became symbols of privilege because the city governments across India failed to build public institutions with the same standards of safety, maintenance, culture, courteous mannerisms and dignity. When public parks and green spaces disappeared, everything gets concretised, there is zero respect for public behaviour and etiquettes in shared spaces and civic spaces become dysfunctional, exclusivity itself becomes aspirational. The real issue is not that private clubs exist. The issue is that India has failed to create equally aspirational public spaces for everyone else. Destroying exclusivity will not create excellence; but building better public institutions might...

I wonder who is that lucky bhajipav neta whose son has coincidentally started a textile shop recently to sell uniforms at wholesale prices to colleges and universities

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

I would like to publicly thank the Contracts student who concluded their exam with, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Pathetic nobodies love to cry "But my ancestors!". Some of us have accomplishments of our own.

Friends is the app also bugging for y'all? I'm seeing retweets as posts by the retweeter which start with "RT" and the OP's @ and then the tweet text

I am still curious as to why people get fake LLB degrees when it is easier to get a real one?

This is why you cannot compare Korean chaebols with Indian dhandho-lala monopolists. Samsung chip workers help create one of the most valuable industrial machines on earth, and the company ends up sharing a serious part of the upside with them. In Vishwaguru, the same promoter class would spend billions on a wedding circus with imported celebrities and atrocious Bollywood performances before giving its wage slaves one extra meaningful bonus.

@shivangicore So true

I thought i would be okay leaving behind Bombay so I could progress my career and generally I do think I'm fine with it but it's suddenly hitting me that in 28 days I will leave the only city I have ever loved and I'm not sure I'm ready

Indian SC judgements read like college projects: no literary devices, no logical progression (preliminary issues are never decided until the very end), extracts from various other judgments and statutes dumped verbatim, a motley of cliches and quotes gathered from here and there,

keenly aware of how horrendous this city is for its working class and how exploitative it can be- but let me be sentimental in peace without getting on your high horses because it's not like any other indian city is much better than my favourite cesspit in this regard

Like those of you who are close to me know how passionately obsessed i am with Mumbai, in all its ugly, difficult and crowded glory, in the throngs of its public transit and the peace of its beaches and seafronts late at night and I'm having a hard time coming to terms w leaving
