Goans, you’re fucked by Gurgaonkars Good luck, you might have to move out of Goa because to be frank you can’t afford it.

Century of humiliation incoming!

This is a wrong take: Apple may crash the AI bubble by putting out there machines that can run LLMs locally.

Please delete this or don't let this reach the western world. I can't imagine the insults and memes 😭

For context this was also the starting salary 15 years ago

Look at this map. Nagpur 45°. Ahmedabad 44°. Prayagraj 43°. Delhi 42°. The entire country is a single dark red mass. This is not a heatwave. This is a country that was told its forests were fine. And this is April. Not May. Not June. The hottest months have not even arrived yet. The past few days have been hell. So I did what I always do when something bothers me. I went looking for answers. What I found was a policy con job that has been running for over two decades. But before I explain what happened, let's clear some definitions. A garden is not a forest. An orchard is not a forest. A plantation is not a forest. A forest is a living system. Soil, water, fungi, insects, birds, mammals, decades of accumulated complexity, specific to its land and climate. It cannot be designed. It cannot be harvested. It regulates water, cools land, shelters hundreds of species. It takes decades to become what it is. You can plant a forest. But it will take decades to become one. In 2001, India's forests were disappearing. The Indian state, led by the Vajpayee government, faced a choice. Protect what remained, or change what the numbers said. It chose the numbers. The Forest Survey of India quietly changed the definition of what a forest means. Any land with 10% tree canopy cover and more than one hectare in area was now a forest. Your mango orchard. A coconut plantation in Tamil Nadu. A tea garden in Assam. Lodhi Garden in Delhi. All forests, on paper. The FSI will tell you that 10% canopy cover follows international norms. The FAO also uses 10% as its threshold. But the FAO's definition comes with a crucial exclusion that India's FSI quietly dropped.  The FAO explicitly states that fruit tree plantations, oil palm plantations, olive orchards, and agroforestry systems are not forests. The World Bank says the same. India adopted the number but discarded the exclusion.  It took the cover of international legitimacy while gutting the standard that gave it meaning. The government will also tell you this was never hidden. That it was publicly stated in every report, disclosed in Parliament. That is technically true. But a disclosure buried in a technical government document is not transparency. It is the appearance of transparency.  I did not know any of this until I went looking. Neither do most Indians whose forests, whose land, whose air this directly concerns. The con is not in what was hidden from experts. It is in what was never explained to the people it was done to. This is not a technicality. This is the con. It was a trick as old as power itself. If you cannot fix the problem, fix the measurement. For ten years after 2001, Congress governed India. Two terms, two environment ministers, including Jairam Ramesh, one of the more serious ones. They saw the numbers. They knew what the numbers meant. They did nothing. Because the lie was convenient. India looked good in international climate negotiations. The fiction of a greening India served everyone in power, so everyone in power kept it. Congress did not create this lie. It simply chose, year after year, to live inside it. The BJP is different. When they returned to power in 2014, they came with something Congress never had. An absolute majority, and no coalition compulsions. They did not merely inherit the lie. They built on it. And in 2023, they legislated it. The Forest Conservation Amendment Act of 2023 removed legal protection from "deemed forests." Forests that existed outside the official definition but were ecologically real.  Forests that Adivasi communities had lived in and depended on for generations. Forests that cooled land, held water, sheltered species. They were not on the right list. Since the amendment, forest destruction on Adivasi land has accelerated.  The people who knew these forests best, who had protected them longest, now watch them being cleared. Legally. CONT++

Shit going to go down in Goa the next few days. Shankaracharya has doubled down on what Khattar said. It’s possible ultra extremist bhakts from India will come to Goa to protest. So an Indian Hindu vs Goan Christian clash is inevitable. Fun times.

IlTians don't want to join ISRO because the salary is low. But why do so many want to become IAS or IPS officers, where the salary is also low? I believe it's never really about the salary.

@oheraldogoa If it happens every year is it news?

Absolutely no difference between Kejriwal,Rahul and Modi

@OGtrashtalk The trick is to add friction by linking UPI with an account that has 4000Rs. You will be constantly stressed when paying and feel poor when buying stuff

Sorry guys I won’t be using UPI anymore coz my grandmom said it’s a way of making me spend more since it’s so convenient to take out the phone and quickly pay instead of worrying about change or counting cash judiciously.

Let current gen enjoy kissing, cuddling, hugging in public. Let them spread love. Lets normalize it.. India is one of the most frustrated and perverted country. Still many boomers are against such love acts, but they are ok with affecting public nuisances.

@sharpeye_wnl Oh I had one of those challenge, just me and the topper passed, rest all failed. I got passing marks. That was the closest call to violence I had

bro actually did what he said

Eventually everybody will join BJP, only you and I will be left

@OGtrashtalk My feed used to be like that but then I traumatized my algorithm with random likes and now it delivers me brainrot instead

Playing roulette with the Insta story circles of people around my age, is it a wedding, a Japan trip, sudden burst of fitness enthusiasm?

Vote for RG and 🥥

Everyone is "tolerating" this woman because she seems "ache ghar ki". She is wearing decent clothes, speaking in English. So the police will let her be, the minister will act cordial. If in her place, it was a rickshaw driver (whose time is also equally important), he would be thrashed by the cops right there and the minister would laugh on his face. That is the "system" we have created in India. Ministers and politicians act like kings, and we are supposed to be under their mercy. The middle class will be tolerated but eventually shown their place. The poor have no say and only matter when their vote is needed.
