@_reading_club India will never get there. Your state is a constant.

I am old enough to remember when Japanese and Koreans were considered the real East Asians and mainland Chinese were thought to be poor, impoverished, low status, ill-mannered, low trust, scammy and not to be associated with. Back then, it would deeply hurt a Korean or Japanese if he was confused for a Chinese. Many Chinese would pretend to be Japanese or Korean in online circles because they were ashamed to be the poorest country in east Asia. Many Chinese intellectuals seemed to lose their self-esteem, they thought there was something deeply wrong with them and the Chinese culture. Many moved to the West. Many polemics were written as how China DOESNT have what it takes to become a developed country. There was the "crisis" of Chinese culture, of rigid Confucianism, of hierarchy, of closed mindedness. Today, I chuckle when a Westerner says China is a "high trust" society. Go back a few decades, and people would laugh at this suggestion that Chinese culture is a "high trust culture". Perceptions and Stereotypes are shaped by economic growth which provides a halo effect. Wealthier societies are expected to have "better" people. Fortunes have changed for the better for China in last 4 decades. Obviously the younger Chinese born 2000s onwards, are not deeply familiar with this background, and many have turned arrogant and abrasive towards other cultures. They are doing the same to others what the Japanese did to them, and what the West at one point did to all Asians. Based on my life's experience, I tell every youngster: Until death all defeat is psychological. Do not lose hope, work hard, maintain your self-esteem. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it.

@alexanderrX_ The problem is that the civil service is full of sensitive/critical data that the government doesn't want to expose to LLM providers' APIs.

we are watching ai rip through the private sector. small technical teams are doing the work of departments now. code, agents, automation, fewer meetings, less headcount. then you look at the public sector and somehow nothing changes. civil service still bloated, nhs still leaking money, councils still buried in admin. get actual technical people inside these systems. deploy agents. do a proper deal with openai or whoever. stop pretending more staff and more money is the only answer.

@AaronBastani Wtf I haven't seen anyone that normal on TV since the Mick Lynch onslaught of 2023

Saddam style majority incoming 🤣

@frontierindica I can understand why China implemented the Great Firewall tbh. I think India needs one too. That would also allow India to build its own tech companies without foreign competition kneecapping them before they're big enough to compete globally.

Sometimes I think the internet is the cruelest thing that ever happened to the average middle class Indian. Before it, you lived your life in blissful ignorance, heard leaderji's speeches about amrit kaal, felt genuinely proud of being born in a 10 gorillion-year-old civilization undergoing its grand revival under visionary sattvic boomers, and never had to confront the fact that a German plumber or a Canadian truck driver lives in a bigger house, drives a newer car, and takes three vacations a year on a salary that would be considered modest over there. Before smartphones, the gora's life was an occasional intrusion - like a Hollywood film you saw once in a month. Or maybe a rare trip abroad once in five years. Perhaps a distant NRI relative who came back smelling of foreign soap and talking about "quality of life." You could file it away as exceptional, irrelevant, not your frame of reference. The sarkari school textbooks told you India was rising, the TV told you India was great, and there was no algorithm serving you a continuous drip of what $60,000 per capita life in 1st world countries actually looks like in daily practice - the wide roads, the clean footpaths, the accountant who owns a boat, the wagie who takes his family skiing. Now it's inescapable. Every morning you wake up and the feed has already done the comparison for you without your consent. Some gora in a small Austrian town is doing a house tour and his garage alone is larger than the average Delhi flat. A blue-collar guy in Ohio is complaining about his "rough month" and you're doing the math and realizing his rough month is someone's Delhi upper-middle-class dream. A 22-year-old in Norway is talking about burnout from his part-time job that pays what a senior Indian software engineer makes after fifteen years of grinding. Indian Neo was perfectly happy being plugged into the Matrix, but the Internet forced him to swallow the black pill without his consent.

@DThucydides It looks like that Brit started in an entry level role and then worked their way up? Isn't that normal? And it looks like they started in an entry-level sales role in Saudi. You don't really need any qualifications for sales roles (unless they're really specialised)

I have experience with this in Dubai also. Completely unqualified white people from mostly UK and Australia being hired on quite generous salaries.

@adonispara BBC conquers all.

Finland and Estonia have the highest blue eye rates on earth. nearly 9 out of 10 people. a phenotype 10,000 years in the making. and they're now forced to import africans who'll dilute it out of existence. demographic replacement all by design.

@jaauha1999 @RationalMale She said brown skin not black. She's probs into Latinos or maybe Arabs

Dual. Mating. Strategy. Once again, a TikThot proves the Red Pill correct.

@gaitanalyst It's because most Brits don't want to move to the USA lol. The UK is quite nice actually

It's insane there weren't more British H1Bs or J1s. And I just found out the UK is excluded from the green card lottery? Difficulty to understand how immigration policy could have been designed worse.

@MurrayHillGuy1 You forgot the every-hour-of-the-day stinking Indian. Very common in London gyms.

What time he goes to the gym based on employment status: 5am: Corporate psychopath, jacked, but in a lean way. sends “circling back” email/text messages to hinge chicks at 6 5:12am. 6am: Finance bro training for Hyrox/next half marathon instead of fixing his own issues 8am: Remote worker, Teams permanently on green 10am: “Entrepreneur” whose startup is just a podcast and a Shopify store 12pm: Unemployed but says he’s “between opportunities” for the last year 2pm: Crypto guy checking Coinbase between sets 5:30pm: Actual employed human being. Normie 7pm: Recently dumped, hits chest 4x a week now 9pm: Creatine goblin filming TikTok workouts tripod-first. Jacked out of his mind but has no social life 10pm: Guy who says “the gym is empty at night bro” because he can’t stop checking his ex’s socials.

@Sargon_of_Akkad No taxation without representation!

Why are foreigners allowed to rule us?

@UnderCoercion @SimitaSKumar She just said she's a Catholic lol. Catholicism is hardly a foreign religion

@SimitaSKumar You are a guest in the country. Instead of participating in the counties religion you came to you brought your foreign religion and required your host to comply, all while ruling over them. Sad

I’ve officially been sworn in to begin serving the people of Edinburgh South Western. I took the oath in English and Hindi to reflect my heritage. I borrowed my mum’s saree which is similar to a kilt - both unstitched, long rectangular fabric that is draped. Secured using pins.

@AscendedYield @BearJFK Actually the research indicates that the under-40s are becoming more left-wing as they age. Plenty of centre-left 2010s millennials are becoming borderline Communist atp

@BearJFK Family formation and home ownership will not be like past generations so that breaks down

Voters flip as they get older and have families That said, the single greatest political change will be the change to ‘majority minority’ in 20 years.

@MaitreyaBhakal Not just Thailand - the entire world lol

For decades, Thailand faced white tourists - and survived, mostly unscathed. Then, Thailand faced Chinese tourists - and also survived, largely intact. But now, Thailand faces its toughest challenge yet: Indian tourists.

@wself He's the embodiment of the small-print

“That is why Starmer attracts such visceral hostility. Not because he is secretly tyrannical or uniquely manipulative, but because he appears as the anthropomorphic embodiment of procedural Britain itself: the human face of the unread contract.”

@FWPlayboy Can you give us some tips on how to spot a bad environment?

As important as knowing the GOOD environments. It’s as important is to know the BAD environments for womanizing. If you don’t KNOW you may think it’s YOU or your Game. When nothing could be FURTHER from the truth.

@5pjq5nsdqt @lucyjaynewhite1 Delhi airport is actually newer and better designed. So no - people won't think they've arrived in Delhi.

@lucyjaynewhite1 😂😂😂 I’m laughing, but also crying on the inside. Well, we know what our mission is and we have Restore to fulfil that mission.

Heathrow Airport must be observed as a Petri dish: a living experiment showing what happens when the Native British population is rapidly replaced by inflows from the third world. The terminals allow us to preview our national future if we do not enact remigration: Dystopian.

@ry_paddy Lol this is basically all just London with maybe a bit of Oxford and Cambridge thrown into the mix

ppl are so overly negative about the UK vs reality. - 4 of top 10 universities globally - third largest VC market globally behind only USA, China. 1/3 of all VC in europe - powerhouse in creative industries - second largest music exporter in the world - largest biotech ecosystem in europe - massive growth sector in the coming years - London is the top western hub for AI after Silicon Valley. - excellent financial services base and broader services economy. Number one for FX, number two for PE and Hedge Funds - produces 20% of global offshore wind TLDR UK is overwhelmingly a top 3 or top 5 player globally across finance, law, defence, biotech, clean energy, creative industries, and tech (especially AI) We are incredibly well positioned for the future. We have a number of problems we need to fix - I believe we will do so. Extremely bullish on this country

@FischerKing64 The empire is gone and it's never coming back. You English really need to move on

Zulu Dawn (1979) is one of the most unintentionally RW movies ever produced. It was supposed to show the dark side of British imperialism - but they made it look so fun. And the British defeat comes off like a Shakespearean tragedy to respect, not something to be ashamed of.

@jollyheretic No one cares about who a politician shags behind closed doors (as long as it's consensual)

Will Britain be the first country to have two gay Prime Ministers in a row?

@ajay_2512x Time to nuke India tbh

🚨 Oracle revoked the offers across IITs and NITs
