@mnolangray most of the tech workers who I know think highly of our immigrant colleagues. many of us who are American-born also have immigrant parents. IME there are very few tech workers in silicon valley who aren't pro-immigration

Know-nothing tech workers think they're going to marginally increase the avalanche of wealth that rains down on them by booting out their immigrant colleagues. They're about to discover that attracting the best and brightest is the defining comparative advantage of US tech.

Nearly half of the founders of billion-dollar tech startups are immigrants

@Serafincito @kkrishnanand Yes, exactly that. People call me what my son calls me when speaking in front of him
English
@kkrishnanand @__apf__ My guess is that it's that American thing where people call you by the name the kids call you in front of them. My mother in law does that in family gatherings.
English
my son calls me Mom, I call my mom Mom, my husband calls me Mom, my husband calls his mom Mom, my mom calls me Mom, and in a family gathering names have lost all meaning

@norvid_studies it was newer then, but that isn't what was surprising or novel here—it was the level of defensiveness
English
it's funny how as recently as 2023 computers speaking fluent natural language felt eerie, almost unnerving

@MovingToTheSun @dfaranha oh my god this is the most human thing ever

@msaunby All of us except for my mom have phds and in some cases MD and PhD. therefore, no one ever uses titles at all ha

@renesugar @emmysteuer But they aren't verified, so they don't get payouts. How does it work?
English
I wish there was an initiative on X to prevent constant nasty mean comments. I’ve been a lot less active lately because the negativity is very heavy. People should be banned for repeated angry mean comments
English
@EvePongsakorn @emmysteuer You are not a blonde American woman posting from Chicago. You are a young man living in Thailand. Why do you spend your time pretending to be someone else and writing cruel things to people? Do you get paid to do this or is it a weird hobby? I'm genuinely curious
English
@emmysteuer People should be banned for hurting your feelings? Are you kidding me? LMAO.
imagine being an “adult” saying this ….and being that fragile, sensitive and trigged.
Holy shit. 😂
I hope you do not have kids. This is the sorriest, pathetic thing I have ever read.

@ad0rnai I am aware of the concept but it isn't common in US restaurants unless you go to an explicitly French restaurant

@__apf__ i think a quarter of a cutting board would be better for cherry tomatoes
English
my husband just showed me our newest kitchen gadget, Half A Cutting Board. Half A Cutting Board is perfect for slicing cherry tomatoes AND we now have twice as many cutting boards after putting the cutting board in the dishwasher on high heat

@JesseSchoberg you will never guess what happened to our expensive wood cutting boards
English
@__apf__ Your nice knife will stay sharper if you use a nice wood cutting board. Bamboo is inexpensive but very hard and dulls.

@kaitybella his mother is coming here for dinner tonight and I'm going to show her what her son did

@__apf__ Cherry tomato life hack: put like 8 in a little group under your flat palm, take a very sharp knife and slice them all in one swipe parallel to the cutting board.
Spend the time you saved writing a LinkedIn article about what tomatoes have taught you about organic growth in MAU—

@lhpanthermom @lolowhat had cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese, and balsamic for lunch and it was 💯
English
I have never tried cottage cheese before because it sounds terrible. it's known for being healthy. it has irregular lumps in it. it's named "cottage cheese." and yesterday I discovered it's fucking delicious??? bro what
English
@bernardbrotha what about this tweet makes you think that *I* put it in the dishwasher? I take no credit for the Half A Cutting Board invention
English
@__apf__ Why’d you put it in the dishwasher at all?
English
@atomlib I see you are in Russia. Cottage cheese is not a super common food in the US. Yogurt, fresh cheese, and milk are consumed much more often
English
@atomlib ? we all consume dairy, I am talking specifically about cottage cheese here
