yk you don't have to do that, it is not a "third-world virtue" to do that. it's something you should push back against if you want to.

I have issue with "errrm your traditional way of raising children is harmful, you should abandon your traditions and instead take up the way we raise children because it's so much better and more modern"

I know this is besides the point, but compulsory death penalty is unconstitutional. Mithu Singh v. State of Punjab (1983) held section 303 to be violative of article 14 and 21 on due process grounds because it eliminated judicial discretion from sentencing.

"babasaheb made sure" yea babasaheb made sure that rapists shouldn't be hanged as there's no death penalty compulsory for rapists.

We don’t talk about this song enough. The creepy ass piano in the background. Her whispering “I’m so sick of myself”. The sing-y shout-y part at the end. Omfg

Meanwhile Love marriage: Oh I stopped liking you a year ago, never liked you in first place but we met through group proximity & we are dating for the last 8yrs( in which we cheated and broke up countless times) and our parents know about our relationship. Can we make this work?

Once you all accept that you dont belong to this class of society (financially, socially as well as mentally), life wouldn't this miserable for you.. ✌️✌️✌️
His friend is recording the couple dancing. The wife is wearing just a b₹a, and her husband is totally fine with it.

I strongly suspect that envy is a driving force behind a great deal of the dismissiveness we’re seeing towards graduate students unionizing, as well as the minimization of what it’s actually like to be a young academic these days

Re: PhD stipend chatter—if say, you live in the most expensive region of the country, don’t have a partner with a tech income, and happen to get sick—say something requiring a short hospital stay—the idea of obligatory gratitude for “being paid to read books” is at best laughable

i do believe taylor (at her prime) was and is one of the best songwriters of all time, but i feel like ppl intentionally ignore the function, form and style of each song when they make comparisons like this
I always go back to this comparison because well

this man is always seething and reeling i simply don't understand how he lives like this
A home video from 1980. Very incisive. Imagine while having a mango with a fork & a knife, a kid is discussing the margins of their election victory with such assurance. I can empathise with Rahul, he has grown up with a people’s mandate being a piece of cutlery on their dinner table. It’s there to be picked anytime. They were entitled to it. A victory didn’t evoke euphoria, it was status quo. So when they lose now, they don’t know how to react. It’s not performative nonchalance to boost the morale of their workers, it’s their real self.

As a hijabi, what you just said is anti-feminist, disrespectful, degrading and racist. If you’re a woman, you should respect all women’s choices, regardless of their beliefs. My body, my choice, right?

i get why people say this but it will never work. night life is NIGHT LIFE. the magic happens when only the freaks are out. it has to be intentional and inhibition must be lowered
what if we started nightlife at like 7pm instead of 11. then you would be in bed by like 1. then you could wake up at a normal time. what then.

If someone is eating 800-1200 calories per day and they're active and not losing weight then they are not eating 800-1200 calories. Why do you think peptides like GLP-1's work so well? People lose there appetite and stop eating. This starvation mode shit is bullshit!

The 'kalesh' during festivals that you love making jokes about happens because women are overworked and underappreciated and men are entitled and unbothered. Until you do something about that, nothing is going to change.

what did you think all-american bitch was about?
She’s pushing 30 now, she needs to get past this teenage music phase and start writing about global issues, politics, the economy and develop some interests outside of boys and high school drama...

Guy who has never read Freud: “it’s about fucking your mom” Guy who has read 100 pages of Freud: “it’s not about fucking your mom actually” Guy who has read 10,000 pages of Freud: “it’s about fucking your mom”
