4/ The bill says 14 day return policy but no mention of store credits.

This is outrageous scam! Are stores just for marketing ploys while customers get RIPPED OFF for trusting offline purchases? OR is to please VC investors demanding to follow offline bandwagon?

[Garima Gupta @0xgarima]

Infuriated with @myblissclub's SCAMMY offline stores. Purchased a pair pants for ₹1899 yesterday from the HSR outlet.

The stores have a ponzy pricing strategy and a store manager trained to execute scam.

@minu_mm @myblissclub!

3/ The store manager played a pivotal role in this. She had clearly told us the pricing is same as on website. For the on-store discount asked us to share a link to 3 of my contacts.

When asked for a refund in 5 mins, she denied refund in cash and only offered to store credits.

How to spot high agency people:

1. Weird teenage hobbies - Teenage years are the hardest time to go against social pressures. If they can go against the crowd as a teenager, they can go against the crowd as an adult.

2. Energy distortion field - If you meet with them when you're tired and defeated, you leave the room ready to run a marathon on a treadmill with max incline. Low agency people do the opposite.

3. Golden question - If you're in a 3rd world prison cell and had to call someone to get you out, who would you call? That's the highest agency person you know.

4. You can never guess their opinions - The boxer that writes poetry. The advertiser obsessed with the history of war. The beauty queen who reads Nietzsche. If their beliefs don't line up with their stereotypes, they've exercised agency.

5. Immigrant mentality - If they've moved from their hometown, that's a good sign. If they've moved from their home country, that's an even greater sign.

It takes agency to spot you're in the wrong place, resourcefulness to operationalise a move and a growth mindset to start from zero in a new location.

6. They send you niche content - Low agency people look at the social engagement of content before deeming its quality. High agency people just look at the content. They spot upcoming trends very early.

7. Mean to your face but nice behind your back - The social incentives are to be nice to people's faces and gossip behind their backs. To do the opposite requires agency because they're swimming against the social tide.

to be taken seriously in any kind of policy discussion with normie lawyers/politicians etc, you need to know:
1. what is "decentralization" / why is it good?
2. what is "autonomy" / why is it good?
3. which systems are decentralized?
4. which systems are autonomous?

On Friday, a major US bank Silicon Valley Bank backing some of the biggest startups in the US was shut down by The California Department of Financial Protection.

The incident has sent shock waves across the tech sector

Here's what Tech Twitter should know👇

I have always felt the special vibe of the @airvistara brand that makes me respect it. It has some culture, some class, and a lot of care. I will totally miss it.

"virtually no one is monitoring proposals submitted on parachains" simply translates to either those parachain projects are simply dead or have no real community at all.
There are different phases in on-chain governance with different configurable periods to avoid such scenarios.

So true! New joiner and an experienced person in team. Best friendship. Lucky to have found that person in my team at IQVIA during start of my corporate journey ☺️

[Garima Gupta @0xgarima]

Such a beautiful thought to start the day ❤️

@curious_abhi94 Thank you

Before asking what we want from others, let us ask what we can give others. If you have nothing to give, nothing to contribute - means there's a lot to do. Buddy it's time you start developing yourself to be useful for others. Be a resource. Be useful! ❤️
