At least Betty White got to outlive all of you reading this, who have died, and are in the 7th layer of hell, reserved for the readers of twitter nobodies.
@neerajadeshp Yeah, if you have gained weight, older relatives are quick to remind women of that. Could just be me, but I have only been told I am too skinny and I am not sure that tracks for Indian men more generally.
@animalologist I didn't know for the longest time as my parents never mentioned it and I simply wasn't curious enough to find out. I don't think I am too much of an outlier among first gen Indian Americans in simply not knowing.
@chribreuer 'Bring back cousin marriage' would have made it a bit more obvious, but other South Asians seem to not get that 'Indian' refers to them too more often than not.
@stanfordNYC What he can do solely via appointments is alarming, but nobody knows what kind of city council he will be working with/against. He is a talented campaigner, but it isn't clear to me how that translates to successfully pushing his policies in office.
@HMBrough_ Are the Pahlavis still beloved there? The European and Asian royalties that have a place in modern states, democratic or not, have not been the ones decades in exile.
Few lies have eroded my sense of trust quite like these two messages. No I have not reached the monthly limit of a website I have never visited and you have no intention of letting me stay signed in.
@GambelerQuail This is just the bragging of the aspirational rich. 'My time is way too valuable and I am too rich to conciously food budget' could be true, but also all the rich people I know invest a fair amount in cooking and their kitchen.
@constans@BenPWHamilton Johnson is an appropriate cautionary tale here less so for his ideology, objectionable on its own, so much as there being nothing to suggest he or Mamdani have any ability or experience getting entrenched interests to work on his agenda.
@JoePostingg Certainly worse than Nier. There might be some unlockable outfit that is more modest, but the default and camera work make it all quite blatant.
@loganb The prominence of Mexican flags isn't exactly odd, but I have yet to see flags of any other central American country, who are where the more recent waves of immigration have come from. People who got amnesty in the 1986 act would be grandparents now.
Including the national origin of the reporter in the headline suggest some relevance to the story like the bullet being stopped by a bottle of Ozempic they kept in their coat pocket or the bullet knocking their dental fillings made of Lego pieces loose.
@heilun_chan I was at a pro-Ukraine rally and a chant was "thank you America for saving Ukraine." People can take issue with that phrase for any number of reasons, but it was a very different tone to strike than the LA protests are going for.
@atlanticesque I can concede that Garcia, who I voted for, would likely not have done much better than Adams. Not to damn him with faint praise, but Adams seems like an easy status quo vote and any hand wringing about this is confusing.
@ngel_blood There have always been money printing franchises that god copied endlessly, but it is somewhat sad seeing so much money poured into and made from just making crossover dlc for the money printing franchises.
@ngel_blood Because it is a live service game or something else? If it is because it is a live service game, it does seem like that trend is cooling after some high profile flops.
