@mc_sein@_bt33_@hasanthehun You're on X. Why are you here? Are you getting value out of this platform? Does X have any "intrinsic value"? Would it have any intrinsic value if we all decided to stop using it?
@xwanyex Wfh is absolutely fucking terrible for early career professionals and it has already done tremendous amount of damage to young people's social skills and employability
@MrBsCoffee30@AgentSaffron If you don't have all of these then you're not a superpower
1. Gdp per capita comparable to oecd countries
2. Soft power via films, music other forms of media
3. Hard power via a strong military that can project asymmetric power in most if not all conflicts
@mattyglesias He is religious, so you might fundamentally disagree with him on this. I can't speak for Christianity, but Hinduism says consciousness is not an emergent property of complexity, but something you "tune into", and you can only do that with a "subtle body"
@mr_mayank "good actor" in this context means someone who is faithful and reliable. He means it as the opposite of what's colloquially known as a "bad actor". You absolute fucking retard
@frontierindica Yeah, um the guest in question, who
1. spent the last few months making tiananmen square look like a walk in the park
2. been chanting death to America for decades
3. proudly calls for the death of citizens in foreign countries
@RiseBharata Because of retards like this. If you want artists to make great art depicting the divine, you have to let them experiment. This is the same attitude that stopped Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama from being produced in India
the fact that most of the world uses celsius is so fucking stupid.
it’s objectively terrible ux for humans. zero meaning “water does a thing” is not how anyone experiences temperature.
weather is a consumer interface. celsius is an implementation detail that’s actually in prod.
@BowTiedRanger Are all Europeans also Americans then? No cultural differences between American whites and European whites? What about differences within Europeans? Does a Brit believe and value the same things as a French?
@HinduHate You only know the US through scholarship, not experience. Americans are unbelievably nice. Can that change if things go to shit? Maybe. But money alone can't fix prejudice. I've seen first hand how Indians in upper echelons treat their maids, servants etc
@HinduHate@deedydas@ashtilawat@tszzl You get derided on your skin color on the daily if you grow up dark skinned in India, not from mean white people but your own relatives. Spare me the fucking sanctiomny
