I had to double check and make sure this wasn’t AI.
Yes, the president of the United States really posted this on his official TikTok.

James Gunn’s obsession with characters that no one cares about is starting to get annoying

These predators are so disingenuous, they are using "certain" when each and every payment method incurs these charges. If not, I want @IndiGo6E to tell you which mode I can use that doesn't charge me this (in)convenience fee.
Mr Das, please be informed that a convenience fee is applicable when using certain payment methods, such as net banking, credit cards, debit cards, and UPI. Additionally, Please be informed that the convenience fee is charged per passenger, per sector for maintaining the online booking system. We appreciate your understanding. ~Malik

Dear @KentROSystems
If consent is mandatory, what exactly does consent mean ?
KENT won’t let me use its service app unless I also agree to promotional offers.
I bought a water purifier, not a subscription to your marketing.
Agree or lose access is a demand dressed up as a choice.

This is possibly the reason the White House stopped posting the transcripts of Trump's remarks.
If you read them, you realize very quickly that he is out of his mind.

People are attacking him but he is absolutely right.
If you are following a proper fibre filled non veg diet which is more than rice potatoes dal and one sabzi it does cost this much.
If you stuff your face with processed food and fried food everyday then you pay less.

There is a scam/fraud going on at T1 @BLRAirport for Airport Taxi. Unsuspecting passengers who are heading towards the Airport Taxi queue are being cleverly side-tracked to non Airport Taxi cars by a group of men who pretend to be helping you. They take you to the extreme front of the queue and then call a car which backs into the queue from the parking. Very unsafe and very risky. Someone needs to assess this situation asap.

Reddit is announcing a huge shift: It’s going to start requiring users to log in. Reddit is becoming a ‘logged-in-only experience,’ says CEO Steve Huffman theverge.com/tech/1022571/re…

LMAO. I have always wished journalists could just start asking him questions about fake things just to see what nonsense comes out. Like:
“Sir, do you you have a reaction to President Almondo of Marzipan's speech this morning attacking the Norwegian Nobel Committee for failing to award you this year’s Peace Prize?”

Parfois je me trouve trop indécis puis je repense à Apple et ça va mieux
Liste non exhaustive des changements d'avis chez Apple :
- on vous dit qu'un écran tactile sur un ordi c'est complètement inutile -> on vous fait un MacBook tactile finalement
- on vous dit qu'un stylet ça sert à rien puisqu'on a des doigts-> on vous fout un stylet avec l'iPad puis avec l'iPhone Duo en fait
- on met une pomme lumineuse au dos du MacBook parce que c'est trop stylé -> on la retire pour faire plus sobre et plus premium -> on la remet parce que c'était cool en fait
- on invente MagSafe sur les MacBook -> on abandonne MagSafe -> on ressuscite MagSafe sur les MacBook
- on met plein de ports sur le MacBook Pro car c'est pro -> on retire tous les ports sauf l'USB C car c'est minimaliste -> en fait on remet tous les ports
- on met un clavier à ciseaux sur le MacBook -> on met un clavier papillon parce que c'est beaucoup mieux -> en fait c'était pas mieux donc on remet un clavier à ciseaux
- on met la Touch Bar sur le MacBook Pro -> mmh on arrête la Touch Bar
- on met 3D Touch sur l'iPhone -> en fait flemme on l'enlève
- on met Force Touch sur la Watch -> ouais en fait on l'enlève aussi
- on met de l'alu sur l'iPhone -> on met de l'inox parce que c'est plus premium-> on met du titane parce que c'est encore plus premium -> et puis merde on remet de l'alu

I don't know why people are attacking him, eating well in India IS expensive
As a family of 2, we eat the following daily to make sure we get enough protein and fibre. It will be easily 50K
4 eggs daily
200 g of meat/chicken/paneer/tofu/seafood
500ml milk
300gm yoghurt/skyr
2 scoops of whey 2-3 times a week
700-800gms of veggies
200-300gm of fruits
50-100gm of lentils
handful of nuts and seeds
And I am not even counting staples here

Hey @atherenergy!
It is impossible for a customer who
- owns the phone
- owns the vehicle
- by extension owns any/all data that is collected from the vehicle and phone that they own.
to perform "unauthorized data access".
They don't need any authorisation from anyone.

Bought @heydigit comprehensive insurance for my mom’s Tiago EV.
The car was parked when the area flooded with rain. It wasn’t started or charged afterwards, and we had it towed straight from there to the workshop.
On inspection, the workshop found water inside the e-drive. It had to be sent to the Tata plant for repair.
Digit is now rejecting the e-drive claim. They say it’s “consequential loss” from water ingress and “continued operation,” and that I’d need a Transmission add-on for it to be covered.
There was no continued operation. The car was parked, flooded, and towed. Flood is a named, covered peril in the base policy. If water entering a flooded car doesn’t count as flood damage, what does the flood cover actually pay for?
We will file a grievance, and go to IRDAI and the Insurance Ombudsman if needed.
