I mean yes, India is poor, and kinda dirty, and open defecation has been problem a problem they've been tackling but if you think the average Indian internet user is eating street food made with cow urine and sewage water, I have a bridge to sell you.

We've been vibe coding, but have we REALLY been vibe reviewing. I think most of us are guilty of being too careful with PR reviews. Not anymore!!! Presenting PETER REVIEW.

No, I believe a person serving coffee should be able to go back home to a private apartment if single, in their car or bikes. Afford medical insurance for themselves, go on nice walks, have 1-2 cheap hobbies, and travel every once in a while without worrying how they're going to pay the next month's rent. This is very doable, many countries do it. They should be able to work one job, ideally, while doing this, and not chain hopping for shifts without health insurance. That is no way to be a human.
Not everyone is fit to be a knowledge or a blue collar worker. Why must we force everyone to suffer?

I find it hard to believe that people who make coffee believe they are owed a salary that allows them to raise a family, buy a house, cars and exotic vacations.
They make coffee!

Ramayana is the quintessential great man theory. He's very important to Asia, and is fundamentally different from Jesus or Odysseus.
I just wished there were more epics chronicling the life of Sri Ram, Sri Lakshman, Sita, and even Ravana. Balakanda, Ramcharitmanas, and a few do it, but I always hoped more early secondary literature. However, modern secondary literature is rich. These are the big 3.
Of course, the varying literature on Ramayana means you don't have to think of Valmiki's Ramayana as cannon. The new Ramayana movie is fairly different from Valmiki's cannon. The big thing for me is the Agni Pariksha of Sita towards the end, it doesn't sit right with me. I always use alternative versions when referring to Ramayan.

There are a bunch of useful things I've picked up from Indian English:
"Prepone" as the opposite of postpone (just makes sense and is a hole in the language otherwise.)
"Sleep" as an inceptive rather than durative verb. ("I will sleep at 10" rather than "I will go to bed at 10")

White suburban dads attending a Diwali celebration and kicking out the racist loser “protesters” is what makes America so awesome. E pluribus unum, friends!

if you lived in nyc anytime before 2020 the only place you would see a line is to get into a night club or lounge.
there's perhaps no better physical representation of the tik-tokification of the world than this right now.
Blue collar workers in India, salaried or not, are extremely poorly treated. Security Guards for example sit with no climate control, through the night after working most likely another shift job, have no refrigeration or microwave for their food, sometimes even sleep with mosquitos all around them. Yes, sure, hate the poor. Underpay them. But understand WHY they would be frustrated.

the hardest, baddest motherfucker in the world: "we are a relaxed environment"
some founder building a document editor: "we are intense, we don't smile, and we do 996"

In most of the country, if you're smart and poor, people actually think you're a loser because it means that you didn't live up to your potential.
On the East Coast, it's respectable to be a working-class smart guy. It's ok to have a high IQ but not be ambitious.

I've been working on a PS1-styled base for a 1:1 replica of SF for a month now. It is a harder project than I imagined because SF has so many moving parts.

recently i learned there are entire online communities dedicated to archiving those patterns inside of envelopes that exist to obscure the information, so when you hold it up to light, you can't read the contents. people even make art out of it (creds in alt text)
