Thought I'll make a thread about depictions of mental illness/psychological problems in pop culture. Now may be a good time to begin!

Update! Research Integrity team at Springer Nature has taken cognizance of the matter. Investigations will begin soon.

Just say you hate it when poor people try to get better lives and leave, instead of this charade where you pretend to be concerned about time restrictions upon entry.

I have a cautionary tale for users of @theniyo 's forex card with @DCBBank. I used the card in a tube station (St Paul's) in London to top up my Oyster card. The tap did not work on the machine, it asked me to insert the card and enter the pin. Which I did, the transaction was declined. I then tried the same with my American Express. That too was declined. So I moved to the next machine, and tried the tap on the DCB card, it worked. A few minutes later, I get a message from Niyo congratulating me on activating international ATM transactions. And a few seconds after that, a message saying Rs 64,594 has been withdrawn from my account.
I reached out to Niyo customer support, who basically said I should write to DCB Bank. I did that. The customer support of the bank insisted a fraudulent ATM withdrawal cannot occur if the physical card is with me. They then said they will take three months to investigate this. But now, two weeks later, they have closed the case saying customer is at fault. Their assertion is that either I am lying about not making the transaction or that I have shared my card with someone. Neither is true. Their security systems are at fault, which is why there was no fraud on my Amex, even though the exact sequence of events happened with it.
I will file a cybercrime report when I back in India later this week. But quite disappointed that @theniyo 's and @DCBBank's response has been to wash their hands off the matter and blame the customer.

Pseudo Bhakti and superstition is increasing in society. Instagram & Youtube algo taking complete advantage of Indian mindset & fuelling more to it.

So many places, even airports, now have huge astrology ads & every random baba is suggesting some or the other way to deal with your troubles.

Thanks to Insta vibe, in every few years some exotic temple gets the limelight & people flock to make reels & click pictures.

Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee has put off commenting on their post on their publication of cow urine research. Why? How can a central institute that is run on public funds stop public from commenting on their post?

If anyone has the full paper https://t.co/dFJ6x2fggo please send me for a through post publication peer review to abbyphilips(at)theliverinst(dot)in
Thanks in advance!

[1/2] Statement from Nationalist AIIMS Professor: "We have conducted studies on older individuals, and the most important finding is that Yoga can be practiced by people of all ages"

Fact: Epidemiological data reveals that older adults face a significantly higher risk of yoga-related injuries, particularly hip strains and lower extremity trauma, often due to age-related physiological declines.

Traditional forward-bending postures drastically increase compressive loads on the anterior vertebrae, frequently resulting in vertebral compression fractures in elderly practitioners with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Additionally, poses requiring inversions or cervical rotation can result in severe brain and eye risks, with clinical reviews documenting occurrences of vertebral artery dissections, ischemic strokes, and rapid glaucomatous progression in vulnerable older populations

To reduce these profound musculoskeletal and neurological dangers, geriatric clinical guidelines strongly advised against traditional "strainful" Yoga practices.

[2/2] Statement from Nationalist AIIMS Professor: "You are 75 and you practice Yoga, your biological age could be around 50..."

Fact: Source - Trust me bro.

When speaking medical science to public, doctors must show some depth from evidence and not suck up to Nationalism and dogmas, because certain aspects of medicine cannot be generalized.

@deepigoyal What physiological parameter does this biomarker measure?

How does your device measure it?

Have you submitted it for peer-reviewed research or even pre-print journals for the community to evaluate?

Definitely yes, no way Utd are getting a better player at LW for cheaper, even if you factor in his high wages. It is a no-brainer if he does want to come back and Carrick wants him

[United Redemption 🩸 @UnitedRedem]

For the past 16 months, Marcus Rashford has been used more as part of a rotation rather than playing every game.

As a result, he's been able to manage his fitness and energy levels much better while sharing the workload with other attacking players.

Despite fewer minutes, he's still produced 20 goals and 21 assists in 4,117 minutes, a strong return that shows he can remain highly effective when used wisely.

Should Michael Carrick Integrate him back to Manchester United squad?

[Robbo @utdrobbo]

There are only 13 players in history who have matched the quantity & quality of Marcus Rashford's output over the same volume for England — and it's a legendary list:

• Harry Kane
• Wayne Rooney
• Sir Bobby Charlton
• Gary Lineker
• Jimmy Greaves
• Michael Owen
• Alan Shearer
• Sir Tom Finney
• David Platt
• Bryan Robson
• Sir Geoff Hurst
• Kevin Keegan
• Johnny Haynes

Every single Marcus Rashford stat is like "Only *the five best United/England/Prem players ever* have more"

Apart from the fully A.I generated article written for the Times of India by Mr. Ranjan Kumar with a degree in administration, the Principal Secy of AYUSH Department, Uttar Pradesh who is himself an I.A.S officer without any training in medicine or healthcare, none of the details in this AI fabricated and hallucinated article is really true of Yoga.

There is absolutely no way that an IAS officer is writing about NK cells and inflammatory signalling pathways and Yoga without even realising the folly. And Times of India directly published this garbage without vetting sources and citations with clinically relevant outcomes that are exaggerated and extrapolated by Mr Ranjan at the behest of the pseudoscience Ministry.

He exploits scientific terms to fit his narrative that Yoga is some kind of a magical panacea for a lot of preventive and therapeutic healthcare. It is not. Educated fools and uneducated dogma and religion loving imbeciles will drool over this article, not a scientifically tempered person.

Classical Yoga is an activity that is better than no activity. Classical Yoga is not aerobic which means it doesn't help your cardiovascular system.

Modernized and bastardized Yoga variants are more likely to benefit health than what was written in the ancient Yoga pseudoscientific scriptures.

Please go read Yoga texts before making A.I write an article for your masters.

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

The truth is that FIFA is desperate to get India to play in the World Cup, has been for a while as we are literally the largest sports market with just a single sport dominating, the last fairly unexplored major market in sport.
They gave us the FIFA U17 World Cup on which I worked for that reason. The women's U 17 as well, they also wanted to give us the U20 tournament if our team continued to do improve, but the AIFF had imploded by then.
FIFA, like every world sporting body other than the ICC, wants to bring our huge audiences to their sport. It is our collective sports administration incompetence coupled with a clunky structure of sports being in the state list instead of the central list that is shooting us in the foot.
And why most major Indian sporting achievements have been individual, despite the system instead of thanks to the system.

Now what is this new stupidity?

1. Telegram is the easiest platform to deploy agents and use them.
2. Entire business communities run on telegram, with actual purchase demands on groups.

Now for exams you're blocking a messaging platform nationwide. The same activity can happen on WhatsApp and discord. Will you block that too?

How is this a reasonable restriction to free speech? How is this not disproportionate?

You can't get your own house in order so you start shutting down entire platforms for everyone?

[adonline @sociocent]

@JanhaviNilekani India spent half a century worrying that people were having too many children. now elites worry that people are having too few. Both anxieties suffer from the same flaw: they treat citizens as demographic instruments rather than rights-bearing individuals.

blocking telegram totally isn't even possible, telegram is designed in such a way which easily allows people to use proxies and other methods of circumvention.
