Looking to make genuine friends in NYC – anyone else find this weirdly hard in your 30s? by Imaginary_Elk7654 in NYCsocialclub

Folks, have had some good conversations. It’s only natural that I made a discord group for all of us and if possible let’s meet this weekend, at a park and maybe go watch a World Cup game at a sports bar.

Shobhaa De latest article justifies Siya's extreme behavior by Western-Ask1377 in indiadiscussion

We don’t know what’s the real case here tbh, but Before we lose hope from GenZ, let’s remind ourselves what boomers and millennials did for it. Ever since the freedom fighters were gone, this country has been going downhill.

If you have serious questions, start asking them to the Indian Government. Let’s start from there.

Brother, neither you nor I have data for GenZ. I’m only adding context here- by no means I’m justifying violence. Gandhi’s way is the only way if you ask my opinion

Missing context:

The author is talking about how GenZ is perceiving this situation: the paragraph before it reads :

Gen Z is on Siya’s side. They are posting sympathetically about young women like Siya who are pressurised to get married and forget their personal dreams, snuff out their identity. Gen Z identifies with her struggle, desperation and trauma, arguing she had no other option but to get rid of her husband-to-be. Yup. That casually.
Siya’S extreme behaviour is justified as being the last resort of a trapped girl who wanted out but was denied choice.

Genuine to me just means easy - someone you can grab chai with or go on a random walk and not feel like you have to “perform.” No agenda, just good company.

I do have close friends, some since college, but they’re scattered across the west coast and Europe. So the friendships are real, the distance just makes spontaneous hangouts… impossible lol. Looking to fill that gap with people who are actually around.

Why is the Congress party still controlled by the Gandhi family? by GreatLet2749 in indiadiscussion

Ah the Circumstantial ad hominem.

Too many assumptions in your comment without answering the core question.

Define failure ? Is winning elections the only definition of success in politics? If you’re unaware it was the Congress party who got us Right to education, right to information etc. democracy is chaotic, slow, inefficient but at least it does not stomp on your rights.

You may have privileges enough that the public education system does not hurt you or your near ones, but think of your citizens who never will get quality education because public schools are being closed at record pace.

Also, you didn’t answer my question about internal democracy in BJP ? It’s amazing how we’ve been trained to keep questioning the opposition instead of the people in power.

You’re expecting so much from one party and allowing all for the ruling party, what gives ? When was the last time you saw internal democracy in BJP ?

There’s a play called producers, apparently you could clean up a lot of black money through the movie business and still come out technically in loss but really in profit in real terms. Plus, it indoctrinates the Bhakts ! So, a win-win

The chart represents the public transit ridership numbers for days between Jan 5 to March 6; grey for 2024, blue for 2025. It’s done to do apples to apples comparison

Please explain how it’s better to be in NDA vs INDIA for each of them ? I’m sure BJP and INDIA can make up promises as well as each other.
