“Stabbed in the back”. Where have I heard that phrase before? I could swear a certain ethnic group goes on and on about that phrase.

We hosted SF's only co-ed mixer with more women than men. 45 women, 35 men, and 4 relationships I personally know came out of it. And I'm the guy who went viral for staying "single until series B." Here's the storytime: One random Sunday I tweeted that there should be a singles mixer for YC and a16z speedrun founders. The shitpost hit top news on X. Consensus: "no women will sign up." Instead, dozens of women DMed me: "please make it happen, just keep the ratio right." @dianeemccormack from Fondo offered to run it. @peggy_wang from SparkChat & @parthma said they're single and in. While we planned, I went viral again with my bro @contextconor for joking I'd stay "single until series B." @gregisenberg called it the single worst trend to come out of silicon valley. People called me "everything wrong with SF," said incels were killing the city's dating culture (fun fact: it doesn't exist). So now I was the "single until series B" guy throwing SF's biggest singles mixer. The irony was not lost on me. But a million views, thousands of DMs, and hundreds on the waitlist were counting on me. @pulley signed on to sponsor. So I leaned in. I asked @peggy_wang to be the face of it, dunking on the techbros: sign up so you don't end up like me, single until series B. I was guiding people to a treasure I couldn't possess. And it worked. Best event I've ever hosted. Curated people from every walk of life, not just YC founders, actually hit it off. The girls' group chat is still popping lol. Moral: you can have your cake and eat it too. It's just harder. You can stay "single until series B" and still help everyone else find their person. As @gregisenberg put it in his tweet calling us out: you can have it all. (all love, I like his work) This is independent of my startup @KoyalAI, which helps people make films with AI. Yes, also controversial. I can't help it.

Cannibalism was indeed practiced in pre-modern China, though the scale is debated.

Becoming a ‘Malay-boo’ Malaysia nerd because Japan is too mainstream

The Bumiputera (lit. ‘son of the soil’) laws are nativist affirmative action policies preferencing ethnic Malays in Malaysia. These policies are designed to elevate the economic standing of the ‘Bumiputera’ Malay majority - despite Malaysia’s large Chinese and Indian minorities

This app should be government mandated

For decades, white people spread the most racist, revolting, and disgusting hatred imaginable about Chinese people. The lesson Chinese people took from this is that they must now do the same, not to white people - but to Indians.

I honeslty think it's pretty clear that in the next decades there will undoubtedly be a genocide of brown immigrants in one western country at least









@teortaxesTex Indians are doing better , they are learning from the Americans. You should get rid of this saving face mindset and learn from the most prosperous country of the world, not a middle income cage.



Woke 2.0 is just Islamism
