Social media really reveals people’s true nature—especially in tough times. That’s when the loud, clueless ones show up, exposing their selfish, toxic, and foolish sides. They resort to trolling and abuse simply because they lack the sense to communicate meaningfully.

All they crave is a reaction. And when they’re ignored, they feel offended. It’s sad, really. Hopefully, one day they’ll recognize their own irrelevance and try to grow into better individuals.

Comedy has a purpose—it’s more than just entertainment; it’s a skill dark comedy operates on a delicate balance. You can’t simply say anything under the guise of humor and expect comedy to serve as an impenetrable shield against criticism.

But the recent instances of legal action and mass degradation of comedians feels absurd. Not every joke that offends warrants extreme backlash; audiences should also recognize the role of intent and context before resorting to outrage.

Finding relevant papers for literature review takes a lot of time.
So, MIT researchers built Undermind, an AI-powered search engine.
It can generate well-researched overviews on any topic and is 10-50 times better than Google Scholar.
Here's how to use it:
Few things in the world will test your limits like being a Delhi University student in November.

By donating a portion of their wealth, wealthy individuals create a misleading image of compassion and genorousity while continuing to benefit from systems that sustain inequality, even as they exploit workers and maintain the structures that contribute to the problem

My heart feels mellow, more than sad, it's a helpless ache that lingers. You can't change how you feel, nor can she.
The future is uncertain, the past unchangeable. All that's left is to hope, and let time decide whether to fulfill that hope or let it fade.

People who are more upset about queer people, non-monogamists, and the working class focus their anger on these groups because it is easier than challenging the powers that are actually oppressing them. Minorities become a scapegoat to project their rage at feeling powerless.

The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness,” and sluttiness is agency and agency is threatening and so, therefore, sluttiness must equal disposability

Only Vinesh Phogat knows that it was far easier to defeat No. 1 seed, Yui Susaki than to stand up against a sexual predator back home who was getting unprecedented immunity from the top leadership itself.

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.
I don't feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall like seeking love in a whorehouse.

The issue of unreserved categories not getting seats stems from inadequate infrastructure and economic failure, not the reservation system. Blaming reserved categories for taking away opportunities is misguided; the economy's failure to provide ample opportunities for all.

Feminism can't be understood as a uniquely individual project not can it be seen as something wholly separate from societal structures of power. Gender is too intimately related to and mutually co-constituted by class, race, sexuality and ability to be ever separated from them.
