@cxgonzalez China?

@ElishaReavis @bittuustaad does not even seem to live in the US. This is how the discourse about the United States is being diluted by people from all over the world. A person in India is asking a person in the US to go back to Europe 🤦🏽‍♀️

@PunishedKebbin There really needs to be a pause on immigration from India currently. No two ways about it. You cannot have a steady stream of h1b + massive offshoring, in the most significant industry of the 21st century, which is technology.

I'm such a Indian Culture snob, I'll say we were the best we were the first in everything; art, science, food, textiles, etc. We already did what the world is figuring out now. Then I face reality and I see dirty rivers, dirty streets, unsafe living conditions, chopping of trees, Dirty Temples. What happened to people's psyche? Their genes deteriorated? Their brain cells got fried? Who are we really? Sure I'm a culprit too.
Culture thrives and betters when basic needs are met but we are struggling, breathing under the water

@panda_liyin @Nathan94167147 Even o1 is being gamed nowadays. I cannot believe you are so naive.

@sharghzadeh Or even Madrid, which is hopping with families and kids dining outside at 10 pm. NYC is dead after 9 pm.

@razibkhan @Satvik_Pen @Indian_Bronson IMO, Telugus are one of the most caste-ist groups of India. Everything is downstream of if you are a Kamma or Reddy or Velama etc. Due to this strong in-group preference, they are able to be very entrepreneurial, as they can pool resources for a variety of ventures.

@IndianTintin_ The only good thing out of the Nautch business is that it keeps the middling crowd reasonably happy.

Imagine if they did not have this outlet.

@India_Progress The fact that you compare Bay Area and Bangkok fails your entire argument, and makes it clear you haven’t been to either place. Stay in your lane maybe.

One of the most honest takes on marriage, which is under discussed.

Even when the husband and wife both work, the X factor of the income determines leverage.

[Jasveer Singh @jasveer10]

Most women dream of marrying a rich man. That dream is a cage with good interiors.

The larger the income gap, the less equal the marriage becomes.

If he earns 1 crore and you earn 10 lakh, sooner or later one thought enters the room: I'm doing everything. I'm paying for everything. What exactly are you bringing to the table.

You can't unhear that. Even if he never says it. People call it love. It's leverage.

He may never say it out loud. He's probably a decent guy. But somewhere in the back of his mind, permanently, without even trying, he knows. You are one-tenth of him. And when things get hard, and they always do, that math starts speaking.

The person with more money has more power. The person with more power sets the rules. That’s human nature.

Here's what nobody tells women when they're busy dreaming about rich husbands. Money is leverage. And leverage determines who adjusts, who shrinks, and who accepts.

He has options. You don't. That's not a marriage problem. That's a negotiation problem. And you came to the table with nothing.

Beauty? Gone in few years. Attraction normalises. Lifestyle normalises. What remains is whether he actually needs you or just hasn't replaced you yet.

Ask yourself one honest question before you marry someone rich - Is he with you because he needs you. Not wants. Needs.

If the answer is no, you're not getting a husband. You're getting a landlord.

The income gap between husband and wife should never cross 3x. After that it's not a marriage. It's a man keeping a dependent and calling it commitment.

@WestsideLAGuy How do the Confucian & Hindu cultures deal with vapid Hollywood in LA though?

[Maya @maya_posts1]

@BapuBommaSpeaks He pays all the bills and you invest? That sounds extremely lopsided, and seems like he’s being taken for a ride. If he asked you to contribute to the bills as per your income levels, would that change anything in your marriage?

@Anc_Aesthetics Indian Govt. runs on corruption, and these deals not only create jobs in India, but they also make these Govt officials mega-millionaires.

@AlchemyAmerican The Vedas have deduced this as the Atman.

Scientists converging on Vedic concepts.

It feels like the human body was vibe coded. An instruction here, a bug fixed there, review the code spat out by AI, sometimes over complicated, sometimes just right.

Yes, we were vibe coded, evolutionally.

@Zeke_Cohen Damn, even the Jews did not stand a chance against the bindi-salwar-kurta onslaught.

@kindabored @iamgingertrash The 16 yr old who pesters/influences her mom - combined they make a killer demo.

[Maya @maya_posts1]

@iamgingertrash 16-24 can be the herd users, but they are usually not the obsessed or loyal ones. They keep flitting between the next shiny thing. And they grow up. And they don’t have much money.

30+ affluent seems to be a more reliable, influential demography.

The vibe in these paintings makes you yearn for a lost past.
