Long Island is one of the most interesting places in the world because it proves that Jews and Italians can be White Trash

Take with grain of salt as I’ve never worked in South Asia but this is a problem of work culture not language. Solved if everyone calls each other aap or equivalent as a sign of formality/professionalism, but a senior would never refer to a junior that way bc ego
Sorry every Indian ( if I need to go that far) is wrong about this. Our languages are inherently anti-egalitarian and English is necessary for being a modern professional. I’m not going to call a slightly older colleague aap.

Believing it’s some inherent problem with every Indian language is the spirit of colonialism speaking through u

South Asian feminism is so steeped in classism that this person sees nothing wrong with him marrying a teenager “from village side”… as though she can’t have dreams…
Men : we chose a simple, uneducated girl ❌ No bro, you squashed someone's dreams. You could've chosen someone from low socio-economic beckground from village side. But You chose a bird that dreamt of flying, was already enrolled in a college & clipped her wings.

At what point do we acknowledge what’s happening here? Or do we just stand by like good Germans?

It’s Monday so you should get out the largest bowl you have and fill it with scalding hot water and add a few drops of something like Dr bronners peppermint magic soap to it and put a reusable rag inside of the bowl ring it out and then scrub down every single cabinet face and baseboard and drawer handle again and again and again until the sparkle begins to sing back to you and you become delirious from the minty fumes. You want to work with an intensity that causes you to start questioning whether you have anemia from the stars and shapes you see when you finally stand up

Did the journal factory explode
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

*wokely* people should only associate with those of their own class and if u don’t ur self hating
JD Vance is a perfect illustration of this lol grew up poor in Ohio with a single mom addicted to heroin, who was crazy, and multiple stepfathers in the house. Usha Vance grew up with 2 parents in STEM in a wealthy San Diego suburb and attended private school.

I know there is a lot of shit going on in NYC but someone has to say it. Empanada Mama and Mama's Empanadas are two entirely different businesses with dramatically different vibes, please try to respect them as individual entities

Honestly this is what makes the data center water thing so repulsive to me, AI did not do that, you stuffing your face with meat and internet and capitalism for years is the cause, and AI has turned into an excuse for westerners to avoid any moral culpability
I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. Psychotic!

“theater where they catheterize you so you’re not constantly walking past people to pee” is an endeavor I unironically support since my Odyssey imax experience
nyu langone should turn the kips bay amc into an alamo drafthouse-style hospital-cinema where you order morphine and get catheterized while dune 3 plays in the background
