Ok, this man is such a மன்மத ராசா (cupid king).

(Don't ask me why I care. Just a slow news day, and I have a lot of work to do. I'm at a stalemate with my tasks. Don't tag my employer. I work 65 hrs/week. At this rate, they need to pay me for overtime!).

On top of professional boundaries, another factor is situations:

You are sitting next to a stranger in a 17-hours long flight from SEA to SIN. They are nice to you during the flight. Are you friends now? No (*). It is just you both being cordial and friendly for the duration.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

On the topic of "we tossed our 🇱🇰boat-operator into the Ocean as a joke. We were friends!"

A helpful tutorial for 🇮🇱tourists and others on who is your friend:

Can you reciprocate things they do to you (and vice versa)? No? Then, not friends.
Yes? Then, could be friends (1/2)

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

A flight attendant brings you drinks during the flight. Can you bring them some drinks back? No? Not a friend.

You listen to the instructor explaining things for an hour. Can you talk at them for an hour? No? Not a friend.

Can you cut your barber's hair? No? Not a friend.

No idea who tf is Van Hollen. But I fully support him now.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Sen. John Fetterman says he’ll vote for Chuck Schumer to remain Senate Democratic leader:

“I absolutely stand with Schumer. I’m going to vote for Schumer.”

“I can’t imagine why you would vote for someone like Van Hollen with no record of doing anything.”

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@shimsham395117 ok, I am puzzled too. Why am I getting replies from people who do not follow me? Usually my tweets do not go beyond my followers.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

There is no clear evidence yet that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's friend was a spy. Is it? Are we tanking NVIDIA and the AI economy entirely based on rumors? Sus. Very sus.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@mcmonkeymc Unrelated: But I like your profile picture.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@SajithCooray @Im_amila The video was the issue here. I am sure this is not the first time a foreign tourist did this s`hit in Sri Lanka. Usually, Sri Lankans are quick to forgive a foreign tourists because "they bring in money."

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

An 🇮🇱reservist-tourist cannot even push a Sri Lankan tourist operator off the boat into the Indian Ocean in Sri Lanka… because the woke has gone too far.

[RT @RT_com]

ISRAELI tourists FILM themselves PUSHING SRI LANKAN worker OFF BOAT and INTO WATER — LAUGHING

Say 'IT WAS a JOKE' and they didn't 'MEAN TO BE MEAN'

'We're ENLISTING in a MONTH. We're GOOD KIDS. We don't deserve this HATE'

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@MyxoMusic Thanks, I was a bit slow on catching up on my news lately. Got to it now.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@Blake29k wow, ok. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know. I just was reading/watching gossip news and videos on this on Twitter/YouTube.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@POTUS676 Fair point. I am largely just clueless on this and informed by rumors. It is very likely others know things I do not know.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@jwang4592 aha, kind of makes sense. I have no dog in this game. I do not own any NVDA stock. I am just amused.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@someone2264 I own nothing. Total freedom. Maybe just media hype.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@TravisFromMN Yes, I am not an NVDA shareholder. But you are right.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@Im_amila Interesting. Still, it reads more like a betrayal to the company more than the country. Like, business deal made with a friend, more than with the best interest of the company in mind. Also, a CEO is not a king. I am sure the board and leadership was not blind?

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@Im_amila You see... the professional boundaries. Sometimes, based on the professional situation, a person may appear as a friend to you. But we need to still remember this is still within the professional bubble. A barber telling you stories while he cuts your hair, is not your "friend."

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@Im_amila Tour guides forming close friendships is very common among countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. But pushing the tour guide into ocean while he is drinking water is unacceptable, even as a joke among friends. A tour guide is still a tour guide. Not their friend to bully.

[Pradeeban @pradeeban]

@Im_amila Exactly. His betrayal is his (family's) problem. The spy aspect could be sinophobia, if not proven otherwise.
