Not wealthy as per se, but she definitely must have gone to a decent private school. Upper middle class most likely

The Congress party is like the democrats, but far worse, being led by a nepo baby. I know for a fact they ain’t keeping that seat longer

It still has the skeleton of it, like modi government still didn’t change most of the things that make us social democracy. Though under modi we have to care more about oligarchy and fascism than being called social democracy

Well Kerala cycles every 5 years. They’ll win the next election, once the regret of electing this government would set in.

Socialism isn’t just out of politics, it’ll come back.

And by success I meant policy wise too, there’s plenty good about Kerala that deserves discussion

Kerala has been one of the biggest success stories of communism/socialism in India that deserves a discussion of it’s own

Lol I myself misunderstood what socialist democracies look like.

Well there’s always some difference in how countries brand yourself vs how they actually function, lol.

This country is absolutely filled with monopolies that make lives of common people worse. In ways they are worse than chaebols of Korea in terms of how untouchable they are. But also there are lines this country would never cross, like agriculture and medicine, cause that would be a political suicide.

Regarding socialism, well truth be told there’s plenty of incentive for people the keep the system running the way it is, hence the sorta world socialists envision is really really hard to implement. Not because it’s bad, I love the idea of housing as a right, and markets being a co-operative, it’s just, how do you even implement it in this atmosphere.

Yup, erurope definitely is. Infact India, despite being socialist democracy, does not have real ways of tackling healthcare and pension. Yes we have government funded hospitals but the service there is abyssimal. Only thing I know about Europe is that they don’t have any equivalent to Indian medicine laws, rest I agree on

Oh, well mrp is mostly for packed food and goods. It’s extremely rare to find stuff below MRP in normal shops, but some wholesale grocery stores would sell stuff for lower than the MRP.

For stuff like vegetables and fruits, we don’t practice MRP, but at the same time, that vegetable is far more likely to come from a local farmer than in USA. Actually unless you buy from shopping markets, that vegetable is 100% from local farmer, and most people don’t buy from shopping markets, they buy from local vegetable vendors. There’s plenty of government intervention in agriculture that protects local farmers, but currently I don’t remember much of it

Yeah, it looks like it’s largely this, with a few exceptions

I don’t wanna be choosy, but working to make models smarter does feel like digging my own grave

Dude, I am guilty of writing entire projects with AI. I am not exaggerating, it literally feels like brain rot. Yeah people say now devs have time for high level design but bro, you need experience to know about high level design. Like, I can think of hundred of different ways to design something, but all hundred would be shit compared to what a knowledgeable person would build. Also it won’t be the job most people like

I am graduating next month 🥲. A little too late for me to switch careers

Dude😭. Where can I even run now? I would be graduating next month

They don’t force me to sign in when using browser. Are you from a Western country?

People under appreciate how complex the life of animals is. I think people should pay attention to birds and animals around them more, they can amaze you sometimes.

And politically? Monopolies, and their lobbying. And not in a hypothetical sense. Look at samsung in south Korea and IndiGo flight incident recently in India, monopolies literally hold their Countries hostage and leaders look powerless against them.

Yeah I did expect my language wasn’t precise enough, so to be more clear, animal that can excel at maths or creativity in a similar way humans do.

I mean, I do still think those sites are dumpster fire, but there’s convenience of following few of your favorite artists, but to curate more, I need to go through that dumpster fire. That’s how I even know a few of them, because I doom scrolled a lot before. And I don’t like the idea of doing that again. Hence in another comment I said it’s better to not go there, and basically living with either the artists I already follow, or just not go to the site at all.

Bro seriously doesn’t know what “average person” is

Thanks for replying. By AI I meant

1. low effort, single prompt slops that are filling the internet

2. Content that’s barely distinguishable as AI.

I see though, when I thought of curating non AI content, my first thought was, " why am I getting onto these platforms again" in my head it sounded like trying to pick best stuff on the internet, but then when it comes to Meta platforms, I mostly use it to chat with friends, And open Instagram links if I ever find one, or even check on a few content creators I follow. Same with YouTube shorts, I exclusively only watch omar agamy, a geopolitical news guy.

But yeah for most people like you, it’s just better to not go on the websites at all(it’s more peaceful). Like, even for me, if it’s about having a genuine conversation on Internet, I mostly come to lemmy, unless it’s a niche thing, only then I go to reddit. I guess it’s better this way, lol.

Thanks. I genuinely think it’s a good idea to avoid these sites, but having a conversation over it does help me think more clearly
