Is AI being used in dubbing or lip-sync right now? Like, not for a whole movie but a few 5-10 sec scene where reshooting is a hassle, how much is AI being adopted in this industry? I can see traces of AI lipsync is some recent shows and movies. We have seen many recent movies that are absolutely low effort and they will use this more in the future. What do you think?

I am booking PNQ - DEL, and the fare's ₹700 cheaper than the direct flight on SpiceJet. I was a Goibibo guy lol, I mean everything on that platform, but nowadays checking flights on each platform before booking, so ixigo. A lot has changed since the last flight I took, including the DGCA refund rules in March.

Anyone booked flights on it recently? Specifically what happens when flights get cancelled or you need to?

Non-romantic only. I hear things between friends and between parents and kids that i would never find in a course. The ones I've collected so far, and please correct the ones I’ve got wrong:

1/ gordo/gorda - used with total affection, translates to something you'd be slapped for in english

2 / flaco/flaca - same energy, opposite direction

3/ mijo/mija - from mi hijo, used by people who are not your parent

4/ chaparro - mexico, about height, apparently warm

5/ negrito/a - argentina and elsewhere, and i genuinely do not know how to hold this one as a learner

6/ viejo/vieja - for your actual parents, and also for your friends

the pattern seems to be that spanish affection runs through things english would treat as insults, and the warmth is entirely in the delivery. What's the endearment that's completely normal?

Someone posts "i'm on day 3, where do i start" and the top comment is immersion, every single time

immersion at day 3 is listening to noise. you cannot acquire from input you cannot parse. there's a comprehension floor, somewhere around 70-80%, below which you're not learning, you're just doing an endurance test with a podcast. i spent 5 months with anime on in the background convinced myself something was seeping in. but zilch.

What immersion actually is: the reward for having done 800 hours of unglamorous work first. it's phase 3. people present it as phase 1 because it's the fun part and because finish genki, do anki daily, don't skip is not an inspiring comment.

The honest version of the advice is: grind kana, grind the first 1000 words, get through a real grammar source, then immerse, and the immersion will feel like a reward instead of a chore.

I'll take the downvotes but i really think the immersion-first culture has really cost beginners their time.

change my mind. what's the minimum you need to rough out before immersions?

I have now been told different things by four different people:

1/ interior designer: brand matters enormously, insists on specific ones
2/ carpenter: brand is marketing, all sheets come from the same few plants anyway
3/ dealer: brand matters (he sells brands)
4/ my father in law who has built two houses: "beta it is all plastic"

they cannot all be right. what i cannot figure out is whether laminate is like, say, cement - where it is a commodity and the brands are basically interchangeable - or whether there is a real product difference

if there is a difference i want to know what it is in specific terms not quality and
finish. like what physically is different between a 900 rupee sheet and a 2500 rupee sheet
that i can point at.

Anyone who actually knows the manufacturing side, would love to hear from you.

Hi everyone, I’m based in Noida and looking for a good dog home trainer for an indie pup in Delhi NCR. If anyone has recently used a genuinely reliable trainer (not someone who takes an advance payment and disappears), please share their contact number, looking for basic obedience and behaviour training.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Also, folks when should I get her sterilization done?
I’m really confused.

Any specific courses or certifications that FMCG recruiters actually respect and are genuinely helpful or do they not matter much at that stage?

Also, without an MBA, can anyone crack into marketing roles at FMCG or any other marketing roles?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to hear from people who did their MBA from Tier 2/3 colleges and got placed around 6-8 LPA on graduation. How has your career progressed since then? What has the growth trajectory looked like a few years in, and what helped you move up (switching companies, upskilling, an MBA from a better college later, etc.)?

Also keen to hear from Tier 1 grads: what would you suggest to someone starting out from a Tier 2/3 college and a modest starting package, in terms of building a strong long-term career in this field? Any specific skills, certifications, or moves that made a real difference for you?

Would really appreciate honest experiences good, bad, or in-between. Trying to get a realistic picture before making my own decisions.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

Wanted some honest guidance for a backup scenario. If I don’t manage to clear CAT/XAT this year, which colleges would still be worth targeting through other management entrance exams like CMAT, MAT, ATMA, SNAP, NMAT, etc. specifically for a marketing specialization?

Which colleges in this bracket have solid marketing placements record, good recruiter presence for marketing roles, and decent ROI even without a CAT/XAT score? Would really appreciate inputs from people who’ve been through this route themselves, which schools should genuinely be on my radar if this is the path I end up taking, especially for someone aiming for Marketing?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, need some help picking a moisturizer and sunscreen.

My skin type: combination-dry in winter, slightly oily in summer. Currently dealing with some acne too.

Current routine: Just using a sandalwood + kojic acid soap, nothing else (no moisturizer/sunscreen yet). It’s been about 2 months and my skin’s started feeling dry/tight. Tried pilgrim SPF 50 day cream with camellia & yugdugu. But it's very hard on my skin.

Looking for:

A lightweight moisturizer that won’t clog pores (acne-prone)
A sunscreen with no white cast, not sticky, good for combo skin, makes skin soft.

Budget-friendly Indian brands preferred. Any recommendations or experiences with a similar skin type would help a lot!
