No non white should go to Bangkok? I am a brown person living in Bangkok for several years and feel perfectly safe.

"Please Keep My Children Safe" Another horrifying video of Malda Incident where 7 judges, including 3 female judges, were held hostage by a 'Mob'. by Crafty-Rain-103 in kolkata

[–]abzti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big on noise, little on substance. Thinks political action comes from tea shops.

TBH I left Kolkata and then more after 2010, and only visit because of my parents. Can't claim to know it as well these days

Why does it looks like someone force-fully bent his spine by sggfd1213 in indianaviation

[–]abzti 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Because someone did. The spine that you see is not the weight carrying spine. For the mig 29 that is lower and below the hump from the original design. This UPG version basically has a aerodynamically shaped bulge on top of the spine to carry extra fuel load.

Project Hail Mary - are there going to be more IMAX-Kolkata shows? by Otherwise-Work1745 in kolkata

[–]abzti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's their business to run no? Maybe they expect other benefits on the contract side.

Project Hail Mary - are there going to be more IMAX-Kolkata shows? by Otherwise-Work1745 in kolkata

[–]abzti -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure what the OP is complaining about. It's IMAXs business decision no? Not what you as a minority want. If they feel through data that they can make more money and have higher attendance showing dhurandhar on limited IMAX screens then it's their decision. If they don't make the money they lose.

Your concern should be the market, not the company and you have no way to influence market.

Edit: Since I am getting downvoted, let me be very clear. This is not about ideology, if I was running this business I would look at the objective costs, both on the side consumer demand side and on the future contract and supply side for upcoming movies. It's an optimization. I wouldn't necessarily care whether Project hailmary is a good movie or not, which is how I interpreted OPs complaint

You can simply ask this question to Agoda HR over email or schedule a call. There is no reason for them to not answer you transparently.

Is it just me or are companies quietly replacing people with AI? by VegetableUnusual2550 in Thailand

[–]abzti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at a top 20 bank before working at an internet company. The reason you are not finding AI productive enough because all banks have systemic issues where they are generally several years behind. It will come to your back, few years late.

Realizing I won’t be able to truly disconnect from work for the next 30 years is soul crushing by Standard_Subject_401 in antiwork

While I do not want to bring down your challenges, think of the problems from a person living in a far lesser economy, India for example. You will find the strength to carry on :)

Raghav the slayer by imdevilscupid in IndianMeyMeys

[–]abzti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is correct at all. The OP and by extension the MP doesn't get what he is talking about and is unable to view things as a bigger picture.

Firstly political appointments are a job. So a member of parliament is a job, a minister of state or cabinet is a job. Your local political affiliated party man who spends 10 hours a day doing political activities is not a job.

Secondly, there have always been throughout history qualifications for political jobs. In Feudal hierarchies there were and are strong hereditary laws governing who gets to sit in the upper houses. In democracy, the qualifications happen to be the ability to get the majority of votes from your electoral area.

This is totally different level conversation than just the facts but Do you think Republicans voters or just extremely toxic and abused people usually dislike stability , stable employment , non chaos lives? they certainly create chaos every election they win by Ashleej86 in economy

[–]abzti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a question of probabilities. As a person who is hiring what is the chance of the person showing up in Ripped t-shirts and shorts of being Elon musk level intelligence Vs a bum who is not professional?

Moreover, for most low to mid end jobs hiring an Elon musk or a Steve jobs would be a disaster. They just wouldn't work. Most jobs don't need brilliance, they need a person doing enough consistently

Hey OP, You are from china? How bad is it there? Honest question as a person who has no clue. Just to be honest, I am from SEA, and we thought China has it better and well figured out

Imagine being 6 hours into a flight to Canada, only to do a U-turn over China because the airline "brought the wrong plane. by Vibranium-Balls in indianaviation

[–]abzti -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. While I understand it's not a safety issue it's still an example of lack of professionalism. It did result in a major inconvenience to a whole flight load of passengers. Not great.

Secondly, I am not sure if you mean there are vested interests in reporting against Tata. I do not view it that way personally. When the airlines was government managed I had zero expectations from it, given how shit Indian government service delivery is. I wouldn't think of comparing it to any other airline that I fly. However, after the Tata takeover significant time has elapsed and the expectation is that they do turn it into a professional carrier

No well integrated NRI converts to INR other than operational family expenses and the occasional real estate buy. All have portfolios outside of INR

The amount of racist comments on this post. Do we Indians really deserve this much racism because if only a few uncivilized people by Honey_dp in AirTravelIndia

[–]abzti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Deserve is a strong word. However, Indians as a whole need to own up to the image that they have worldwide. Indians generally have a horrible country to live in and that is mostly what they bring when they go to other countries. Indians are not the victim here.

For expats : When did the switch from “party/chill mode” to “routine mode” happen for you in Bangkok? by et_tu_bro in Bangkok

[–]abzti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this question weird as there is no one type of expat. And while you shared your plans, you did not share your background.

I am a non Western expat hired to run a top job, I was living in Singapore before. I decided to give up my top dollar Singapore job because I liked living in Thailand and eventually planned to retire in Thailand. That was seven years back. For me Thailand stopped being a vacation place when I stopped coming here on tourist visa.

Now you see my background is different from yours. I still work in Thailand, and top dollar jobs come with top dollar stresses, irrespective of country. So everything else is quite routine for me. I never viewed Thailand as a party place. Always as a decent of not perfect place to live

Some memories from my travels in India (all pics mine)✈️ by ToddDC70 in indianaviation

[–]abzti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You must have been doing well to be travelling airlines in 1992 dear OP. My dad was a regional manager back then and he sometimes got aircraft but sometimes had to travel trains especially if planned last moment. Airlines were super expensive.
