2) Share useful observations, insights, and learnings from my experiences and the books I read.

3) Ask questions to understand and learn from your perspective.

They turn a blind eye at the environmental and common man's problems.

1) Making Ethanol takes large amt of water.

2) Many vehicles on the road today are still not E20 compliant. Plus many families can only afford one vehicle and use it for 10-15 yrs or even more. At least E0 fuel option should be given at a higher price.

@SamridhiTiwar19 Was coming back from the dairy and this instantly came to my mind. 😂

[Pratik @pathless__path]

Boiling milk in Indian homes is the reverse of the famous double-slit experiment.

You keep a constant eye on the milk and it won't boil.

You look away for a few seconds and suddenly it starts boiling rapidly and erupts like a volcano. 😂😂

[Samridhi Tiwari....💛 @SamridhiTiwar19]

Leave it alone for just one second, and it runs outside looking for me......😂🤭

Ek second ke liye chhoda tha, ye toh milne doorstep tak aa gaya. 😂

@6thiagoat I meant coming in from the left (similar to Coutinho), which will allow Kerkez to overlap.

And not being stuck at LW.

@lynx_growth Yes, I am thinking to write some articles.

I had a ques: Do you see articles regularly on the For You timeline?

@SahilX54 @volklub Ouch, last time I filled from Jio around a month ago, my engine felt smoother.

So now, are only Shell and Nayara are less than E20?

@lalitgrateful "walking past a sale without buying anything is strength training"

@volklub I read that Jio bp also uses 20% ethanol. (from their official account in a reply on X)

Don't know if they made it 20% recently or from long before.

@AnfieldPapers I had to check official LFC account to confirm.

You never know when you are going to be papered.😂😂

@LFCApproved Gray would be a good replacement for Curtis Jones if he departs.

Can play CM, RB, etc.

Kostas Tsimikas - Keep, because we need some familiar faces in the squad.

Joe Gomez - Keep, because I want him to score a goal before leaving.

Luke Chambers - Loan to PL/top 5 leagues

Harvey Elliott - Sell (exchange in player + cash deal for Diomande with Leipzig)

Federico Chiesa - Sell (Would've loved to see him get a proper chance)

Lewis Koumas - Same as Luke Chambers

I feel we have come to this situation due to herd mentality since prehistoric times.

In early times, majority of them were Neurotypicals (still they are majority) who could blend in with the group.

The Neurodivergents were probably seen as different, rebel, etc, and were probably not accepted in the group.

The result is even today, neurodivergents are not accepted properly in the world.

@ishubhamsakhuja I feel empathy also kind of amplifies emotions, because when you put yourself in other's place to imagine what they are going through, then emotions will naturally arise.

Agreed on the compassion part.

[Pratik @pathless__path]

It's who we are emotionally attached to makes us feel something when something happens to them.

If you aren't emotionally invested, you won't feel anything if something happens to them.

Ex -

1) Last year Diogo Jota (Liverpool player) passed away. When I read the news, I was shocked and couldn't think straight for sometime.

2) This year, Asha Bhosle (famous Indian singer) passed away, and I didn't feel anything.

This quote doesn't hold true in life (from my perspective):

"Pain is inevitable, Suffering is optional."

Why?

1) Physical pain: you can only bear physical pain to an extent. After that threshold is crossed, it becomes suffering.

Ex - If I hit you with a hammer with less force, you'll feel the impact and pain.

But if I hit you with full force, your pain threshold will be crossed, and you'll be in agony.

2) Psychological pain: you can only bear emotional pain to an extent, depending on your state of mind and your emotional skills.

After that, it will turn into suffering and you'll find ways to escape it through coping mechanisms and addictions.

Ex - There was a time when waves of emotional pain would overpower me and I couldn't bear it or help myself anymore.

So I started eating more chocolates as a coping mechanism.

If I would eat 2 pieces of chocolate normally in a whole day, then during periods of intense emotional pain, I would eat 2 pieces three times a day.

------------------------------------

The thing is, if pain crosses our ability to bear it, then it turns into suffering. That's how I see it.

Maybe suffering can be reduced.

Maybe suffering can be managed.

But I don't feel suffering is always optional.

----------------------------------------

If you have a perspective, a story, or an observation related to the original quote, then I would love to hear it.

Maybe your perspective will help me see the quote differently.

@FabrizioRomano I'm happy to see Karius doing well after what he had gone through since the 2018 CL final.
