I’m so appalled by the hatred towards her. Yes, she’s a little over the top and millennial-cringe filming herself crying, but her struggle is real. Not everyone can just reinvent themselves overnight.
If you stand to gain financially from the AI boom (founder, investor, etc) you need to work extra hard on your empathy. If you were unfortunate to be on the other side of the isle, you’d be crying too.
Of course the only practical solution is to eventually adapt. But a little crashout in the meantime is perfectly acceptable.

Pokemon letting me officially remix Lavender Town for the Pokemon rave was maybe one of the coolest things I’ve gotten to do in a LONG time. Thank u everyone for the nicest feedback ever 😭 I really cared about this !!!
If I can make fun of French accent, you can have fun with the Indian accent - no foul. You only feel bad making fun of people you think less than yourself, and I don't think of the Indian identity as lesser than anyone. Of course, using it to discriminate is a completely separate conversation and why it is sensitive currently (and a genuine reason to feel bad).
Having fun with the Chinese accent was considered in bad taste, now that China is a superpower - it isn't considered as so. In a few years, it'll be as common as mocking the German accent.
You might think it is a shared heritage of being "white" (contentious term) - and something has to be said about adjacency of the Japanese people with "whiteness" - but doing the Japanese accent and exaggerated Japanese mannerisms is completely accepted despite a seperate culture, people, ethnicities etc.
I used to be super inspired by Prof. Sen in high school! He was well known in the theoretical physics world even back in 2016.
What makes Ashoke Sen such a rockstar is not just his brilliant mind - but also the fact that he does not take the easy way out.
🚨 Could have stayed in America and taken US citizenship - chose to do cutting edge research in India
🚨 Could have lived an easy life with earlier $3 million prize - chose to give away a large part of it
🚨 Could have stayed quiet & blind on sensitive issues - chose to speak up on beef related lynchings.

🚨 Here's to Ashoke Sen for becoming the first Indian to win the prestigious Oskar Klein medal, one of the highest honours in theoretical physics. We need more national heros like him.
My Indian parents confused why my address is <50 characters when our address back home is 150 characters+
And I have to not go into a rant about the supply chain issue this causes and our inferior planning mindset
Basquiat is one of my favorite artists. His technique isn’t difficult to copy, but the way he approaches art is just revolutionary and pleasing to my eyes.
I hate this modern, “pause” culture. Be yourself Kings, even if that means you won’t be accepted into certain circles.
Hey man, if you want to understand, as an Indian in the Bay, what white people who believe in replacement theory feel like, just go to your local Zareen’s

This might be embarrassing but I lowkey enjoyed it. I just never watched a whole lot of movies. I had one of these bad boys, and a bag full of CDs and I’d sometimes watch a movie here and there, if I had a friend over, but never the full thing because I just didn’t enjoy movies. Even games, I’ve never played GTA, if it didn’t come on a game boy. Game Boy I loved because it was portable and I’d get gaming done on the move. Because when I was at home, I wanted to just be writing code.
Dragon Ball I enjoyed because I could watch it out of order and recognize faintly some of the things. The original show I watched a little of, always knew the story but it wasn’t a main draw.
