Shame on @Swiggy for treating its delivery partners this way.
We placed an order from Baskin Robbins that should have arrived in 45 minutes. Instead, after 50 minutes, the delivery executive came to our doorstep without the order because the restaurant had been closed since the afternoon.
He had video proof, proof that he had reached the location, and messages sent to Swiggy asking for help—but Swiggy never responded. We even called the restaurant ourselves, and they confirmed they had been closed for hours. So why was Swiggy still accepting orders?
We got our refund, but that’s not the issue.
Despite repeatedly telling Swiggy that the delivery executive was not at fault and had all the evidence, they still slapped him with an ₹850 penalty.
To make matters worse, Swiggy customer care disconnected our call while we were trying to resolve the issue. They also kept insisting they were trying to contact the delivery executive, even though he was standing right in front of us and didnt receive a single call.
This is unacceptable. A company worth billions should not be forcing hardworking delivery partners to pay for its own system failures. Stop punishing the people who keep your business running and take responsibility for your own mistakes.

We keep hearing "genius, this" and "genius" that about these ai people; it doesn't take a genius to see that wrecked balance sheets aren't signs of success if there is NO payoff in sight. Either merge--this government will bless it--or slow it or stop it. That' what this week's about.. Can't you see it?
The father of convicted Pakistani rpist says what his son did to a 13 year old British girl is not rpe. He blames the child, saying: "She wasn't a virgin or new to sex. I don't see it as rpe. Some responsibility lies with her. As far as grooming is concerned, the judge, jury and police have gone overboard because these lads were Asian." The pathetic scumbag refers to the Muslim rpists, many of whom are in their 30s and 40s, as "lads." And "Asian" in order to deflect the blame and apportion the crimes to the wider Asian community. These jehadis use subterfuge at every step in their lives, at every waking moment.
NEW: Houston man who was born on a plantation says his one wish is to get a birth certificate.
94-year-old James Dorsey says he started working on a plantation at age 8 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
When he became an adult, Dorsey says he began to have difficulty proving who he was.
"I went to the courthouse. I went to the school board. They were over everything, all the schools and plantations, what the school was on, they were over everything," he said.
"What does a birth certificate mean for me? I couldn't even pronounce what it would mean."
@coolkidsclub775@TonyLaneNV And India will just accept a non citizen radical? Parents claimed ‘asylum’ saying they aren’t safe in India, which the British government provided. Made your bed… plus, he’s already in prison.
Chief exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington says demons will disguise themselves as aliens, orbs and UFOs
“Demons can break into the physical world and at times they can be seen.
We actually have some photos of such things and that we have documented that sometimes people will see shadow men.
Many people who are possessed will see dark shadows, possessed houses, globes of light, all sorts of things and more direct manifestations of evil hands.
We've seen that and actually images of beastlike creatures.
Not too long ago someone who had a particular gift and we've documented that gift and she was shown a picture of a UFO, and she said it's a demon.”

@homerepaired So I have an unpaid mortgage debt. If I invest the same amount of money in bonds something will happen? Where am I getting that money from though? Am I retard or did I not understand the post or both?
@NewsAlgebraIND Anyone the mule carries is forced. No one asks the mule. The owner, though, should’ve refused. You’ll be shocked to see how badly they treat their mules.
I’ve been reading the Vedas a lot recently, and what’s stood out is how it doubles as an encyclopedia as well as a religious text. Astronomy, medicine, mathematics, metallurgy, linguistics, are all woven through hymns and rituals as one body of knowledge. Simply calling it “religious” forces it into a Western category that didn’t have the apparatus to recognize what it actually was. It’s closer to a tradition of formalized epistemology in which metaphysics, observation, and language form one continuous inquiry, which as a result led Indian civilization to develop along a fundamentally different path because of it.
You can see the effect most clearly in the sciences. Around 600 BCE, the Vedic record describes a surgical procedure that matches modern rhinoplasty and is still foundational to reconstructive surgery today. Centuries before Western Europe stopped treating eclipses as supernatural, Indian scholars had calculated the circumference of the earth within 0.2% and explained eclipses as shadows. Centuries before Plato and Aristotle rejected atomism, the Vedic tradition already held that matter is composed of indivisible particles combining into binary and triatomic compounds, transformable by heat. The first formal rules for zero and negative arithmetic appear in the Vedas, along with infinite-series derivations of π, sine, and cosine centuries before Newton and Leibniz.
The interesting question is how did they get so much right, so early? My best guess is language.
The Vedic tradition is unique compared to other oral traditions as it demanded letter-perfect oral transmission across generations. Around 500 BCE, scholars composed a generative grammar of Sanskrit called Panini so rigorous it anticipates Backus-Naur form, the notation that defines programming languages today, by 2,500 years. Sanskrit is recursive, rule-based, and built to minimize ambiguity. It reads more like mathematics than English.
When you think in a language built like that, the precision of the language becomes the precision of your reasoning. The West didn’t formalize this until much later. Kant argued our categories of understanding shape what we can know, Wittgenstein wrote that the limits of language are the limits of one’s world, and Kripke showed that naming doesn’t just describe things, it constitutes what they mean and how we can reason about them. All three touch the same insight which is that thought is downstream of language.
The Vedic tradition operated on that insight thousands of years earlier. To the point that they built a whole language first and used it to think clearly about everything else after. I find that all really fascinating.
