“I only want jobs i wouldn’t hire myself for”
Shit doesn’t get any gangsta than this..
Parag Agrawal (@paraga) on how he dealt with pressure during @elonmusk’s takeover of Twitter:
“Through the Twitter acquisition, I used to track my sleep score. And I was sleeping fine.”
“If you know what you must do, you do it. You don't have to feel pressure.”
“The world can come at you, but if you know what you're capable of & you have a slightly long-term view.. you don't have to feel pressure. You have to perform every day, which is a completely different thing.”
This concept of aura points isn’t a novel idea but a fucking nightmare concept from a blackmirror episode S03E01
And as they showed it will soon be hijacked by pretentious people willing to do anything and everything just to hack algorithm and will punish the honest human behaviour and interaction making you hate yourself more and eventually give up on the society itself
When this discussion reaches its end it somehow again becomes high level categories like caste or gender and never special privileges for people actually in need

Exactly! People are mistaking this post as men-hating post, but that's not my motive to post it.
Men or women, anyone in need should be offered a seat.
I have been binging black mirror tv show recently and i reached S5E2 today and to my fkn surprise it was about twitter addiction and how you as a user really don’t have the power of choice to get away from this app or use it without affecting your life in a negative way no matter how much you think it is your choice how and when you use it
God i made this reply earlier in the morning about how i am literally becoming the damn main character of this episode ( use the app before going to bed use first thing in the morning and every chance of a little boredom)
I wonder if this coincidence is a sign but fck it i will regulate my usage from today onwards or i will be very sorry down the line knowing what i know now and still not doing anything about it and ending up in a tragedy of some sort like the main character of the episode

Its really great but this platform is incredibly addictive and i am finding myself getting deeper and deeper into this trap
My advice to @CJP_for_India
free advice: don’t take shots at individuals unless they’re true public figures (like a president). even then critiquing ppl is dumb because we are all human & we all make mistakes. if you need to, aim your discourse at ideas, systems, or cultural defaults instead.
discussing these is sharper, safer, & harder to refute. & likely more interesting. it shifts discourse from gossip to philosophy.
basically you should critique the software layer of humanity, not the hardware. this is the line i hold on my account.
The top most quality i look for in people to extend conversation for than five min with them these days
the older you get the more you realize how dangerous it is to know this much about the lives of strangers.
i often can’t believe how many ppl are just constantly plugged into para social drama where they spend their time effectively absorbing relationships, tragedies, opinions, fights, successes, illnesses, & anxieties of thousands of ppl that they will never meet like influencers. not only that but they’re taking advice from & formulating opinions through these ppl. this is nuts.
i don’t follow any influencers & very few ppl in my life that are close to me know any sort of intimate details. & i resist knowing things about ppl i don’t know. i suspect that’s the way it should be.
“If men were marrying just for sex, every prostitute would be a wife by now.”
Men are single because women think having a vagina is enough. No self-work. No effort to understand men.
And that's why they're mad.
If men were marrying just for sex, every prostitute would be a wife by now.
A man can get sex with no wedding, no bills, no responsibility of feeding and housing a woman.
No serious man marries for sex.
He marries for peace. For loyalty. For children. For a home. For a woman he can actually build a life with.
That's why the men who STILL want marriage in this generation aren't looking for a body. Bodies are cheap.
They're looking for character. And most of you don't have it.
Finally made it to home in 1h40m for a stretch of 10km😭😭 in a two wheeler.
Thats bangalore for you folks!!
I covered the same distance in the morning 7am in 30m
My left hand is numb from constant clutching for more than an hour
Philosophy is the deepest pit out there.
Replying to @ToastPilled @xansnds
There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see yet we keep going to the ones where everyone agrees it exists and not create our own.
The point is meaning is taking on a challenge/responsibility which gives meaning to the suffering otherwise its meaningless which in on itself is the cause of suffering and for most it will be the suffering of raising the children at the cost of their own happiness.

Replying to @porterstansb
The meaning of marriage is lost either it needs to be redefined or abandoned altogether
For the worst case its a joke and the best case a day to get together with your family and friends and have a party thats all because literally nothing changes because if that day except the liabilities on men’s side because of Mr law now

It’s crazy the cultural shift the india has had in two decades, no wonder nobody likes the state of society anymore it exists simultaneously at 16th century and 21st century
Our parents gen don’t understand the western influence and think the morals and culture are going to shit
Whereas we are so much exposed to western culture that our society seems so repressive and conservative and not modern enough to us.

Alpha by definition is the leader of the pack and is supposed to be rare, if everyone became alpha they would fight and kill each other until again only few survived who can split the available resources and setup their own domains
ig its about time women should publicly acknowledge that they are ok sharing a man.
My contribution to the “hot girl in any field” discourse
let me seriously contribute to the hot tech girl discourse, as a middle aged woman in tech: appearance and presentation is one of the small disproportionate points of leverage young women have in an industry that’s extremely hostile to them otherwise. and even then: it’s not always a good trade.
I’ve told this story many times, but the reason I didn’t get my CS degree many, many moons ago (including a scholarship to CMU!) is I walked into room after room where no one looked like me. Not only were there no women, but there wasn’t anyone who seemingly cared at all about style or charm. The room might as well said: no hot girls allowed.
20 years in tech and startups and hot girl commentary has been inescapable. Watching men wonder out loud if the female SWE interviewing is hot. The uniform hotness of enterprise sales reps. The Botox, boob jobs, eyelash extensions, and impressively toned arms on 50+ yo female executives. The cutie pie devx yt streamers. The “new to SF” posters.
But before you envy the hot girl (or complain about her rising leverage) also trust this: looks are — on the whole — a miserable downside to being a woman in tech. She will be told she’s only in the room because she’s hot. She will be dismissed as vapid, or preying on men, or needy for attention. She’ll be asked to go on stage or in a booth or on a video in a way that doesn’t make her feel great. She’ll look good for her age and people will presume she’s inexperienced. She will have not-hot days and be told she looks tired. She will be newly pregnant or postpartum and be called fat. She will grow old and wonder if the Botox and boob job and eyelash extensions will give her another decade in the career that she loves. She will tune her “touch up my appearance” settings like her job depends on it. She will wonder when she needs to disappear.
So be kind—to these women, and yourself. These girls are hot, but they’re also smart, hard working, and hyper aware this tool probably has a shelf life. It’s probably not as fun as it seems.
They have feelings, too (even if they’re tough as nails and don’t show it.)
And to the sisterhood of hot tech girls: I salute you! 💅
