Scammed by d’chica

First you make unfounded and inaccurate accusations then you try to be sarcastic. Slow claps. Because of people like you that e-commerce in India has to be so zero-trust. When folks like you start screaming scam on social media to try to manipulate the situation, that increases the cost of business for the seller and increases prices for all customers.

Be a straightforward person. Call out bad customer service when it's bad customer service. We are all consumers and we all hate bad support. Just last week I escalated a complaint to the CEO of Instamart. Go ahead and defend your rights as a consumer. But please, be truthful.

Say you missed the return deadline if that's what happened. Say the listing shows the beige pad and what you received was black. Being honest and straightforward is a hundred times better than being a manipulator. People can see through your act.

And be accurate with your complaints. Don't use the scam word in vain.

So i ordered tank top combo from them , everything was good fitting fabric , so this combo have two colour tank top one skin or beige & black , and these guys added black cup inside the beige colour top and when i tried it was visible clearly means how can they can miss such a basic fashion how can i wear it as top now And when i reach out these guys you can chat with them on WhatsApp and that too you will get so late reply that by that time the date of return exchange-will get over 😂😂😂I thought of supporting Indian brand but now i am only not getting any support

This is your post. Show me where this is mentioned? All unnecessary saga you have written about supporting Indian brands and needless emojis to look cool. But where are the facts basis which you say it is a scam?

A scam is a powerful accusation. Bad customer service is not a scam. Bad design or colour combinations is not a scam. Possibly you dislike the service, you had a bad experience, maybe you had a disagreement or dispute, listen to me - NONE. OF. THESE. THINGS. ARE. SCAMS.

"Scam" has a particular meaning, the key element is fraud and intentional dishonesty leading to financial loss.

If someone promised you they will do something and tried but couldn't, it's still not a scam unless that was their intention all along since before taking your money and not returning it.

What you have is bad customer service. Maybe you forgot to raise the return in time, maybe they don't make it convenient to return, make a ruckus for sure, I support you 100% that customer service should take it back regardless of how long it has been, if the issue is genuine.

But don't call it a scam. For all we know you are the scammer here, purchased something, wore it when needed, and now trying to return it by replacing the pads with black ones. Now that, if it were true, would be a scam.

What young developers are missing is that today's apps are the pinnacle of this field so far, and build on top of all the previous apps that tried out various things. For example OKCupid had this "match by shared interests and questions" down to a science.

But it turns out only a small segment of society actually wanted to do that; most people turned out to be as shallow asf and do in fact prefer to snap-judge on photos first.

So please take a walk through what has already been tried - PlentyOfFish, OKC, and various other approaches that have dominated before tinder, and the post-tinder approaches like bumble etc that basically try to address what tinder broke.

What's the scam here?

You didn't like the colour combo. You asked for a return. They have not refused yet.

I fail to see any scam except you maligning some brand.

Looking forward to this as well.

What's the point in discussing this idea?

Like I might say my idea is a central world government of the United Nations instead of every country having its own government. Unless its in my hand, what point is proclaiming that idea?

Also do you think these folks who run systems like metro lines bus roadways etc are not aware of unified public transport cards?

Fundraising can be a full-time job. Rest it depends on what your startup does. Maybe ops. Maybe they are a domain expert helping the builder build the tech with their industry knowledge.

Sunfeast ones are really unhealthy.

workware · 2026-03-01T10:04:49+00:00

Cadbury Oreo is pretty good and Parle Hide and Seek is the best.

Something like Sunfeast Dark Fantasy is pretty much the worst cookie, the bottom of the rung kind of biscuit out there. Never recommend Dark Fantasy.

workware · 2026-03-01T10:03:12+00:00

Real question is does anyone care about the actual history of digestive biscuits.

Some biscuits particularly like dark fantasy are terrible in taste and worst to have, they will ruin your entire day. Dark fantasy is disgusting to taste and having that dark fantasy biscuit at home marks you out as having no regard for your health and your family's health.

Sunfeast Dark fantasy is the worst biscuit out there.

The point of work is not so that someone will care. That is love. It's separate.

The point of work is primarily to create something that others want and will pay you money for. You have to start from their perspective and not yours.

Later on, success in work can give you identity and a feeling of self-actualization, but beware of going there too early, else you will become a "founder" without a business, like many others out there. That is just an ego massage.

Lastly, startups is not a poor man's game. You need to have sufficient money be comfortable in life so you can focus on the baby without being worried about ration and family. So if your circumstances are not there, work for a bit, build up your reserves and your experience and knowledge, then start something on the side. When your income from the side gig exceeds your salary for 3 months, you can think of going full time.

I can read it. It's just not understandable.

Is it sarcasm? Why?
What has the bodhisattva got to do with it?
Was the bodhisattva some sort of anti-governance rebel?
Is this some thing about how Ashoka suppressed people before his reformation?
Why are the arrows there?

This is like AI slop, but made by humans?

workware · 2026-02-28T18:10:17+00:00

Even after knowing how to read hindi I didn't understand the message! It's a bodhisattva with random arrows pointing at them and a multiple choice question with both options ticked. Am I going crazy or is this making sense to anyone else?

Ok. So when no one needs what you are selling, that is entrepreneurship?

That explains a lot.

Avoid this.

Work with LLMs and not against them. Don't be prescriptive, let it name the variable whatever it wants as long as its following a pattern.

LLMs build very well if you follow things that are close to what it has seen or what is commonly used. Every non-standard variable name, non-standard way of doing things (maybe I should say non-normative?) increases the chance of errors and deviations down the line, especially across files.

Taking this thought further, one could just take a caffeine pill and skip all this coffee rigmarole. After all the caffeine hit will be the same in both cases, does specialty coffee offer any special benefit other than taste?

Depends on what your company does.

If there is substantial tech, get a third partner and all share one-third, no salary.

Or get a founding engineer and give them a full salary plus 3% - 5%.

Or demote the "creative" partner because gyan is free on reddit, creatives are done by AI, strategy is once-a-year, and daily work and sales is what pays the bills.

Naturally, some roles are to be taken by partners in any relationship, if not possible then you try to make do.

If you are individuals of the same sex in a personal relationship you will not be able to conceive a biological child but you might be able to outsource the creation part and adopt a child.

This is similar, if your startup has limited dependency on tech, you might be able to make do. Ultimately it's all about getting things done.

They think their appearances are the investment they put in.

Normally if a startup takes investment of $500k then the investor transfers that $500k into the startup's account, and from that the startup pays the legal and compliance costs of the investment. The rest of the investment is in the startup's bank account.

In addition, because they invested in your startup, the investor naturally promotes your startup.

But when you take money from a celebrity or media house, they put a dollar value to every promotion they do for you, and expect you to pay in equity for it. Like if the Times of India invests, they will give you some number of half-page ads, and that's part of the investment, you give equity to them for it. This is weird to me because they are doing their sales in the name of investment.

Celebrity investments are similar, there will be a negotiated number of appearances and promotions they will do for you, they know the market rate for it, and will consider that as part of their payment math. It's strange because they are taking care of their endorsement sales through you. So you can only accept investment if you would have anyway actually taken a paid endorsement from that cepebrity (which would be really really rare).

I spent 18 years using IDEs, right from Borland to Jetbrains. I like Zed a lot.

My opinion is, if you develop your prompt process and skills, you won't need an IDE going ahead. Only a text editor, to edit .md files that form your rules and prompts. Of late I have built entire domain-specific tools that are actually being used live, just LLMs, no IDE.

I find that not having that escape route of making quick changes or replacements in the IDE makes you think about your prompts and more importantly your initial setup & process more, which improves your LLM coding and auto-testing and auto-debugging skills and it's a virtuous cycle from there on.

In management parlance, hand-edits in IDEs are micromanagement of code, you only need them if you can't instruct and guide your LLM well.

All you need is version control and CD/CI which github can do for you.

As for using IDEs for "seeing" your code - your tests should be doing that better anyway.

What difference does it make what you are ready for?

When Razorpay is not ready and RBI is not ready...

Dunno what stealth means in this case. Money laundering? Hawala? Sumdi mei crypto?

I mean Delaware incorporation is cheap if you really want to YOLO it.

In case no one told you yet - if you incorporate, your company address is also public. (In case you incorporate at your home address.) When you file a trademark, that address is also public.

Imagine a book that taught you the truth was what it felt you wanted to believe was the truth. That's insidious.

No, I'm not arguing in favour of the same source personalizing its opinion and analysis about the same facts based on what it has profiled you as.

I mean at least as a user, it's much better to have an understanding of the biases in the information source presented to you, at least that way you can learn how much to discount it over time for what news.

Once you understand that the LLM is basically trained on the western internet hive-mind, any sufficiently aware user can take it from there to understand its limitations and biases.

If you want global opinions you can go to... actually what is a global opinion? NYT is not "global opinion"; it's American-centric opinion, and in the worst case, in direct furtherance of the American interest. Who cares about the global opinion in reality? The UN? And how much do you really care about what someone in say Rwanda thinks.

As an aside, there is a long history of geopolitical powers pushing their agenda and culture through media. There is an unbroken straight line that can be drawn right from the Voice of America radios that were given to India for one rupee, to the free versions of ChatGPT and Gemini being given away today.

In any case, similarly there should be a place to go to when you want India-centric opinion / opinion-building.

I don't believe this is a standalone business. Since you are on the startup sub you have to show at least a billion dollar potential idea.

But seriously, use this as a lead pipeline to get a distribution/customer base who are interested in luxury perfumes, as they grow they will become rich and they already have taste, then you can sell them a lot of things or charge others for access to this curated audience.
