I'm unware of "woke" culture (or political terms such as right or left), but why would having a Gender Equality title be the target of attacks? A title like that should also, in theory, cover people who are transgendered, non-binary, intersex etc, so pretty much everyone in the country should be included. I'm not sure why "woke" people would take offence to this? Are they a gender that doesn't fit in any of the currently established genders or something? Wouldn't "woke" people also benefit from any decisions made by this minister, so why would they be offended?

I've been using a Danish made one called Nifisk King for more than a decade now (which I bought second hand btw) and is still going strong. As you said, the bags themselves are a filter, but there's also a second filter that sits in between the bags and the inside of the vaccum (which btw, you get free every time you purchase a ser of bags), and of course the main HEPA exhause filter, which almost never gets dirty (had to change mine only once in the past decade).
Don't get a bagless. At least, as someone with allergies - I (my nose) can tell you that bagged vaccum cleaners are much better. The main HEPA filter lasts for ages (I've only changed my once in the last decade), thanks to the double filtering - the bag ls themselves are a filter, plus there's a second filter that sits in between the bags and the inside of the vaccum (which btw, you get free every time you purchase a ser of bags).
The main advantage of bagged is of course the maintenance/cleaning/disposal - when it's time to empty out your vacuum, just open the hatch and chuck out the bag and you're done - no risk of dust or tiny insects like dust mites etc spreading around. Especially in this era of microplastics - you don't want to inhale all the microplastics you've just vacuumed up now do you?
I'm not too familiar with India's politics, but what does the BJP have to do with this incident? And how will changing parties solve these issues - is there any political party in India that's actually good and not corrupt? I heard corruption is pretty common across all of the government sector, regardless of the party in power?
The most effecient way is to NOT peel potatoes. Why would you ever want to peel them? Potato skin is yum and rich in nutrients, whereas the flesh is mostly carbs. By throwing away the skin, you're not only wasting nutrients, you're getting rid of the texture and fiber it adds.

Thanks, I appreciate your kind words. I'm in IT (sysadmin) and would prefer to work remote, but tbh I don't really care at this point. At first I was a bit choosy because of my overconfidence, but now I'm open for anything - even part time, short term etc - across the whole country even. Applied for several dozens of jobs so far, only had one interview call and I blew it - my mind went blank on a simple python question, although I nailed the rest of the interview, I guess they weren't impressed when I said I knew python (which I did, but.. oh well). I do have another interview coming up, but my confidence has taken a big hit. I used to think I knew this shit inside out and companies would be lining up to hire me, but boy was I wrong. It's come to the point where I'm willing to take a 40% paycut and go back to tier 1 roles.. not like I haven't applied for tier 1 stuff but I friking didn't even get an interview call, or let alone a rejection mail, so yea, I'm seriously doubting myself at this point.

I've been unemployed for 6 months now. Resigned from my old job because I was fed up with how I was getting treated. In hindsight, it was probably a rash decision, but I never expected that getting a new job, with all my skills and experience, would be this difficult. I completely chew thru all my savings, sold half of my stuff, and even ended up borrowing money from my folks to survive. I'm glad my parents were able to help me out, but I feel pretty bad asking them for money when they've been retired for years, and it should be me supporting them instead. It really sucks, it feels like I failed my parents and failed at life, especially when I keep hearing stories of how well off my cousins are, how they're married, own a house, own a car, have kids etc and meanwhile I'm still single, flatting, and don't have any assets worth mentioning. Sigh.
Kinda related for me, is keeping in touch / communication / or just talking in general. It's the reason why I don't have any friends left, and that's because I can't be bothered to stay in touch with them (and I hate social media).
At the same time, I'd like to have some friends to go watch movies with, or go to a restaurant etc. I almost stopped going to the cinemas after I lost touch with my old work friends.
I wish I could have just casual, activity-based friends so there's no commitment to keep a relationship going and you just meet up for an activity when you feel like it with no expectation of any follow up communications or getting involved in their lives.
I use a stainless steel bottle that I got for free from my previous job - possibly the best thing that came out of that job tbh, as it's light, big and has a stainless steel lid too, so it's super durable and eco-friendly. Prior to that, I'd use a glass bottle which also doubled up as a tea-infuser, only problem with it was that it was heavy.
#Avoid plastic, even if it's recyclable or reusable
Plastic bottles tends to leach toxins into water over time - even the so called reusable and durable ones too - and the longer you use it, the more toxins it releases, which can cause inflammation to eventual organ failure or even cancer. Avoid plastic.
