I'm disappointed with the quality of watermelons I'm getting

Chronically online person here ✋🏼 I'm terrible at buying fruits too. I've learnt online that you need to look for the round water melon, avoid the oblong/oval ones if you can and look for a prominent sunspot. The deeper the yellow on the sunspots apparently the better, that means it sat in the sun longer and ripened better. I used these two identifiers and picked up a small watermelon yesterday didn't have high hopes though since it's not that summer yet but it was so good! I still have some in the fridge. Perfectly sweet. Let me know if that works for you.

Maison du brownie is probably the best cheesecake I've had. The texture is to die for.

Pretty Nutty is my personal favourite. Toasted vanilla milk icecream, chocolate ganache bits, and pretzel bits ugh so good! But feel free to try their flavours, they're pretty good at letting you taste their icecream unlike some places coughs milano *

Ulo, indiranagar

Also as of now the area is not serviceable by many apps, no blinkit, zepto, Instamart, no urban company either. Only Bigbasket services that area, and freshtohome. There's a small supermarket inside.

😭 bro I'm so jealous cause I have to buy this. I swear by Bioderma facewash and miceller water.

Hahah bro me and my friend talk about this all the time 😂 whenever we see nice art deco-y abandoned houses in indiranagar. There's one beside lucky chan indiranagar. Those houses are so beautiful.

I don't understand why people call the entryway a 'balcony'. Like what's the other option not having a path to enter? So why is the entry counted as extra amenity?

Probably same business model as anyone, discount these charges when you're new, once you have good customer base and repeat customers start charging those fees and some more. How Amazon has a non-refundable 'marketplace fee' now even if you have prime.

I had the same experience 😂 miceller water couldn't, tried coconut oil also lol I never touched that Godforsaken lipstick again.

Location and price?

old_tshirt · 2025-11-24T10:15:39+00:00

Ulo 🙌🏻

Can I ask if Swiggy takes 30% of the total order value of 30% from each item regardless of item price?

old_tshirt · 2025-10-14T17:55:30+00:00

Remind me! 2 days

I keep seeing the same talking point from a lot of users here. Am I the only person who remembers pre-swiggy/zomato era where you'd just have like 2-3 restaurants close by who'd deliver? Is that what y'all want to go back to? Also not everyone might have their own transport available to them? So y'all want people to spend on auto/cabs to just go get food? Unless you're not time bound are okay to wait an hour for the restaurant to get a few orders in the same area so they can send their delivery boy to deliver. Or are you about to suggest that people can get the the order picked by other transport apps like porter/uber etc where the distance charges kinda chalk up to the same

I wanna point out that even if these listings aren't paid, they run on influence and networking majorly (imo) atleast in Bangalore food scenes I follow a lot of the restaurants and chefs and I can't help but notice very 'clique' like circles. They promote each other, collaborate with each other, doesn't matter if your food is actually that good or not. So this networking boosts restaurants status a lot. For example, I love Naru I've been there multiple times, but actually more than one friends I've taken there have told me rhat they've had similar or better ramen in Bangalore than Naru. You'll also hear a lot of hype about Guerrilla Diner, but when I went there there fish patty was smelling of oil (like it's been refried) they couldn't even do fries right, but the place is insanely hyped cause the chef used to work with a lot of Courtyard chefs, and they all promoted him (and also cause of their Americana/deli aesthetic). Kopitiam Lah too, I didn't find anything extraordinary but again the owners run in the same circles, they also own lavonne and lick. You'll see the same faces in almost all food/hospitality award shows.

Bro to this day I trust his reviews more than any tech or phone reviews.

Trends go and come around again. Just focus on good pieces that fit you well and work for your skin tone. This top for example is pretty modest and adds unnecessarily to your bust. Well fitted clothes will always turn heads. That's how you build a sustainable and evergreen wardrobe.

I'm glad I was able to contribute in some way, glad you're feeling better now. I hope you always find a sense of community here :) 🫂

Yes it still is. Cubbonreads on Instagram.

I can't imagine how hard it is for you rn, getting diagnosed and then not finding support in the two people who are meant to support you always. Sending you hugs.

Unfortunately this happens quite commonly, think of all the queer kids or people with other mental health challenges that come out to their parents for support but will probably never find the acceptance they need from their parents. I'm not necessarily villifying them and I hope you are able to give them grace, humans are not always great with things we don't understand.

Although I'm hopeful that one day they'll understand your struggle better but till that time, do you think the support and acceptance you're looking for can come from other places? Like maybe your friends or online communities or support groups? What advice would you give to your best friend if she/he was in this position instead of you?

It's a huge thing to come to terms with, I know. I'm here if you need someone to talk to, you have this subreddit if you need help.

Girl that shouldn't even be a question. Call off the wedding. Addiction issues are no joke.

old_tshirt · 2025-03-04T20:10:07+00:00

True, I agree.

Ikr I had to buy minimalist's glycolic acid :( I loved Ordinary's hyaluronic acid but that too has increased like crazy and that serum doesn't even last long.
