You know what? Thank you.
And I have a lot of Indians I have known and respected for years. I was raised in the 90s. We were raised to not see race. Anyone could be American.
But this new batch is just rude. No interest in assimilating. No "Thank you your country is great". Nothing. No interest in becoming American.
They just want to come here and dominate.
I literally did not even think about Indians as being incompatible with our country prior to like 3 or 4 years ago. But the more I learn about Jugaad and Izzat. I see them taking advantage of things like food banks and all the things a high trust society brings.
I don't want to be racist, but this thread right here makes me think "whoa, we can't flood our country with this"
My fellow desis think everyone is out to get them, but you got a valid point. Diwali's date changes every year, and it’d be wild for another nation to adapt to a holiday that shifts like that.
Ignore these “chutiyas”

The funny part about this is that that Diwali is not on the same day every year.
The Indian government convenes and decides when it is. Every year.
So... what? We are going to let the Indian government dictate which day/days the US govt shuts down? The USPS shuts down?
What?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Diwali dates are set by astronomical calculations of the Hindu lunisolar calendar (Kartik new moon), predictable years ahead via panchangs/official data, not by yearly Indian govt decisions. The US bill recognizes it per this traditional lunar observance.

After having a lot of fun (Even though I recognized this hours ago), yes, Indians use some sort of lunar/solar calendar. I was wrong about the Indian government setting it.
It is approved by Brahmins, and the Indian government recognizes it. It is still patently ridiculous to expect the United States of America to recognize some foreign calendar.
And please witness the vitriol of Indians, if you dare insult them in the slightest.
We have reached a point where there have been multiple gang murders/attacks by blacks on whites THIS WEEK and it doesn't make national news, but if 2 drunk white girls make a monkey noise, our entire media apparatus springs into action to totally and completely ruin their lives.
At first I was excited to see this.
But then, when I realized there are no white men in it, I realized there would be no way for me to identify as any of the characters or feel represented in any way.
"The Ramayana," a more than 2,000-year-old epic poem, recounts a cosmic Manichean battle with a list of heroes longer than "Avengers: Doomsday." It has been adapted many times before, but the epic has never been told on this scale, nor with a global audience in mind. cnn.it/4zfDbfn

Divorce. Leaving the religion. No honor killings.
Sex in marriage based on consent. A honorable and faithful husband. Say as to whether the husband takes several wives. The ability to criticize the husband without fear of violent retribution.
You can't be serious with this.
Apart from the freedom to walk around half naked, what other rights do you think you have that Muslim women don’t?
I’d genuinely like to know.

This is your "high skilled immigrants" we apparently can't survive as a nation without.
Ask him, he will tell you.

What's your plan when the power goes out for 30 days?
I have my spot. I have defense. I have food. I wont be in the streets fighting for scraps.
Do you think the world just flushes your poops down the toilet?
Water and pepsi flow from the sky? You probably do.
How are you going to survive once it all falls apart because men like me refuse to build it for you anymore.

He's 75% right.
Black Americans need to bury the hatchet with white Americans.
A post racial America will throw black Americans under the bus in about 5 seconds.
I do not like a lot of things about black American culture. But they are Americans. And they should be prioritized in any way we can against people who showed up yesterday.

Maybe I can bridge the gap here.
I got really good at architecturing a thing. Troubleshooting.
Like really good.
It sucks to see part of that skill set "kind of" go away.
But at the same time, architecture got way more valuable. So yeah a part of me died, but the part I actually like and am best at got supercharged.
Maybe he saw value in carefully crafting objects, and apis and the way everything intertwined so he knew it intimately and planned for the future and fought for changes and was delighted when one of his past projections he fought for came true.
I certainly did.
I don't disrespect that.
But I know that my job is not that anymore.
My job now is harnessing and directing ai to implement my architecture faster than I can even think of it.
I know I have more harnessing to do. But. I understand both of your perspectives.
It’s so crazy, the parallel universes we inhabit. As I’ve mentioned before I was once a very intense programmer, but I’ve been on a long dandelion break. Recently I finally put together a modern AI programming environment and I almost spontaneously combusted from the happiness
It kills your joy and soul? What the fuck are you DOING, man? Everything I love about programming remains, and so much of what I didn’t love is gone. We have to get some observational studies going. I must know how he is using the LLM to have any hope of understanding
I should add that in my day, programmers were fairly sharply divided between IDE guys and others. For a lot of people the IDE was apparently a net positive, but it never cracked that threshold for me despite several attempts. I mention this because if there are two ways you can go on this, my predisposition is to go the other way
But it isn’t even close. You’re nuts if you write software and you ignore this power. It’s the most wonderful tool there has ever been. And I’m sorry but if you can’t see that inside of ten minutes with it, I would wager that the problem lies between keyboard and chair
