PR descriptions but as brainrot content.
We've been vibe coding, but have we REALLY been vibe reviewing. I think most of us are guilty of being too careful with PR reviews. Not anymore!!! Presenting PETER REVIEW.

No, I believe a person serving coffee should be able to go back home to a private apartment if single, in their car or bikes. Afford medical insurance for themselves, go on nice walks, have 1-2 cheap hobbies, and travel every once in a while without worrying how they're going to pay the next month's rent. This is very doable, many countries do it. They should be able to work one job, ideally, while doing this, and not chain hopping for shifts without health insurance. That is no way to be a human.
Not everyone is fit to be a knowledge or a blue collar worker. Why must we force everyone to suffer?
I find it hard to believe that people who make coffee believe they are owed a salary that allows them to raise a family, buy a house, cars and exotic vacations.
They make coffee!
Ramayana is the quintessential great man theory. He's very important to Asia, and is fundamentally different from Jesus or Odysseus.
I just wished there were more epics chronicling the life of Sri Ram, Sri Lakshman, Sita, and even Ravana. Balakanda, Ramcharitmanas, and a few do it, but I always hoped more early secondary literature. However, modern secondary literature is rich. These are the big 3.
Of course, the varying literature on Ramayana means you don't have to think of Valmiki's Ramayana as cannon. The new Ramayana movie is fairly different from Valmiki's cannon. The big thing for me is the Agni Pariksha of Sita towards the end, it doesn't sit right with me. I always use alternative versions when referring to Ramayan.
@Gandaberunda4@meltyharibo I think a bigger problem so to say is since Mahabharata and Ramayana and such are Hindu epic, and they’re considered divine, it doesn’t get treated right by artists and academics in fear of offending people.
Not exactly. Westin won’t do this because they’d get sued. There are restaurants that would do it, they’re just not common. This is not to say caste isn’t a wide spread problem, but generally not in this context. And “upper” caste Indians are often very wrong about societal effects of caste, I wouldn’t expect someone from outside to know. It could be that he met with one instance of this, but this specific thing is not very common. Yes, people get asked to sit on the ground in the house of an “upper” caste person, but that has nuances on the hierarchy most people don’t understand.
There are a bunch of useful things I've picked up from Indian English:
"Prepone" as the opposite of postpone (just makes sense and is a hole in the language otherwise.)
"Sleep" as an inceptive rather than durative verb. ("I will sleep at 10" rather than "I will go to bed at 10")
@bscholl The people who need to get to work on a specific time, usually can’t afford additional financial burden. Of course, this will need to be done in conversations with the corporations.
@moultano It trips me up. I can hear it now because of my American friends hammering on it, and I can tell how someone grew up based on it, but I can’t ever get it right.
