Man's 'non-negotiable' points in dating app bio go viral; internet seems unhappy

-

In today’s fast-paced and tech-savvy world, everyone has gone digital including people’s love life. From meeting new people on social media to using dating apps, it seems finding a ‘soulmate’ is just a click away! Dating apps like Bumble and Tinder have become quite popular nowadays with the generation tuning to them, in a bid to find someone special. While dating apps sound fun and interesting, a dating app bio has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. A man who claimed to be ‘single’ gave a brief bio outlining his ‘non-negotiable’ caste preference, thus sparking a fresh controversy regarding the existence of caste bias in the modern world. A screenshot of the man’s dating app bio has been shared on Twitter and grabbed divided reactions and a heated debate about such bias. While many criticised the bio, some also spoke in its support.

A Twitter user named Disha shared the screenshot of the dating app bio with a caption, taking a jibe at the man. “There is no caste bias among the educated,” she wrote.

In the bio, the man described himself as, “Love the idea of love. Hopelessly married to Mac. Like driving to random places and enjoying the view. Let’s uninstall this app together. Some non-negotiable: 1. Brahmin Girl 2. Non-smoker.”

Reacting to the post, social media users sparked a debate on the man’s viewpoints and preferences.

Social media reactions to dating app bio

A user while speaking in support of the ‘caste preferential’ bio wrote, “Shame on him for being upfront, and definitely shame on him for daring to have a personal choice in who he dates!”, while another added, “Maybe he knows his family/parents won’t want a non-Brahmin and is clearly not looking for something casual, so better to set expectations. That being said, being hopelessly married to Mac is already a sad, sad disqualifier. These software types sadly have little or no game.”

“Exactly what about our formal education prepares us to not be caste biased?” a user commented while another said, “Lovely how everyone is talking about the caste bias but no one is talking the non smoker part.”

The tweet has so far grabbed over 6 lakh views along with more than 3,000 likes and several reactions.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
