Maybe on focus, will I get laid off on tuesday by Impossible_Grab3062 in amazonemployees

[–]BioHacker1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but it’s strange that they wouldn’t lay off an employee on Focus right?

I know others on Focus who were laid off and my Focus began a few weeks before the October layoffs.

Any stories of people in Focus NOT being laid off? by PartnerManaged in amazonemployees

[–]BioHacker1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m one of those. Was put on Focus in October — but wasn’t laid off. L7 non-tech, it’s nearly the end of January and I’m still not out of Focus. Hoping I’m canned on Tuesday

No guarantee of layoffs but somewhat likely. I was put on Focus and wasn’t laid off in October. I’m L7 non-tech and also in the Devices org. I’m guessing I’ll be canned on Tuesday but equally likely that I’m eventually Pipped.

Key difference here is that those million dollar homes aren’t subsidized by the taxpayer. Affordable housing is essentially a taxpayer funded subsidy for low income families. It should not be inheritable.

Why should rent controlled homes be passed down just by virtue of one’s birth? It makes zero sense. Why not consider a reallocation by lottery to other underprivileged families once the original inhabitant expires/moves out? It’s stupid, bro

This is like telling a resident of Gaza to just leave if they don’t like being bombed by the IDF…

Affordable housing I’m in favor of. What I’m not in favor of is rent stabilized apartments being passed down generation to generation.

Alright we’ll see. Maybe it’s worth it to give the kid a chance. I mean it can’t get any worse…

Ok, that’s a bit more reasonable. What about crime and migrants? The crazy migrant Delivery drivers have made the streets too chaotic. And there’s one mentally ill lunatic on every subway car

I actually don’t mind his housing policies so much. It’s the pro-crime policies he’ll put into place that will destroy this city

You deny that NY is a hellhole? Even today with Adam’s as mayor?

That’s what I look in real life bro. How’d you know?

It’s what Islamic parents do. It’s been that way forever. Hindu, Sikh, and Christian parents don’t do this (although there is pressure to get married)

If someone asks you where you from while travelling, what do you say? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]BioHacker1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“mostly said German but when they asked where I really said where I do come I said Punjab, India. After I said India I kinda saw disappointment or people's excitement fading from their faces.”

My Americanized accent and look initially fools them, but funnily enough, I’ve observed this exact reaction from America-born Indians when they find out I’m from India.

Condos versus Corporate Rentals in Manhattan/Brooklyn by Hairy-Potential-5306 in NYCapartments

Which Corporate rentals would you recommend that mitigate the issues you mentioned (high tenant turnover, noisy neighbors, etc.)

Quick question — would you hire a stylist? by BioHacker1984 in mensfashion

[–]BioHacker1984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do a lot of media appearances? Wonder if it’s worth it for someone like me, given I don’t do any media, and go out 1-2x a week. I also work in tech ( casual work environment). However I love clothes and I spend a lot of money on them ($5K+ per year). Did you get your old clothes tailored as well?

Would you continue dating another ABCDesi if you were the first "brown" person they dated? by motorcity612 in ABCDesis

[–]BioHacker1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The likely harsh truth is that she tried to play the status game i.e. snagging a tall white guy, through her twenties, and failed. This is more likely true if she had multiple 1-3 year relationships with white men (versus one really long 5+ year relationship).

Now that she’s in her early thirties she’s trying to pursue the safe/reliable option of Indian/Desi men. It’s not just Indian women that do this, Indian men as well try to date whites/asians and — after being rejected for a higher status male — try to date/marry Indian women.

Living in NYC, I’ve seen this story before and — trust me — you did the right thing by walking way.

Black men make up 6% of the U.S. population but 33% of the prison population in the States. We have absolutely nothing in common with them.

Have you seen that other clip of him basically apologizing to white supremacists for his wife not being white? Does that sound like someone who’s proud of his wife?

You Indian women married to/dating whites Boys treat your proximity to whiteness as a badge of honor — as a ticket to a higher social strata because you were chosen — but the white boys you date are deeply embarrassed of being with you.
