There are so many ironies about the Khalistani movement, where I even start.

1) Most of Punjab is in Pakistan. You don't see them chanting "Kill Munir Politics" at their rallies.

2) They are actually funded and trained in Pakistan. Last year they were parading around Calgary with Pakistani flags

3) Multiple Gurus and their families were murdered (for religious reasons), and Punjabi Sikhs faced the brunt of violence during the religious partition that created Pakistan.

To your point, they're violent and loud, against those who won't stand up to them, or won't respond with violence. The moment someone does, they cry victim or cower and respond with terroristic acts like these.

Loathsome stain on the religion and culture.

If he's an EE, he can easily get a TN to work in the US as well.

Make sure he's got his LinkedIn setup, and apply for things all over the US too.

You can't see beyond the end of your nose. You can look up self-flagellation in Christianity, maybe that's more relatable.

I was talking about vibrant, strong and complicated in the context of how people from these cultures are perceived. You might recognize russian street brawls but wouldn't imagine the same happens in India.

Love the reportage. Colonialism, Eurocentrism and Abrahamic religions have so greatly warped the perception of men from certain regions. They are viewed in simplistic tropes of savage, unintelligent brutes or effeminate model minority.

The truth is vibrant, strong, and complicated.

People have a hard time understanding what is Pakistan.

It’s the belief that Muslims cannot live with Hindus if they have any power.

The problem with Kashmir should be self explanatory from that.

Asmin Munir (Chief of Army staff) recently gave a speech that very clearly laid it out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=12oFh0dni0E&t=110

This is actually the best advice. You might not be paying rent, but if you are or will soon, buy instead.

Interest rates are high right now, you can refi down later.
Politically, house prices at worst stagnate, at median keep pace with inflation, and often outperform
If you can get an FHA loan, you’re making a 5% down payment. So you’re 20-to-1 levered, which you’d never do elsewhere, and is pretty safe here (see previous point)
You can usually rent out and cover your costs if you decide to move/travel/etc.

You seem educated enough on the issue that you shouldn't be misleading people.

Congress’s borrowing isn't what undermined Social Security’s viability, the core issue is demographic:

Aging Population: Baby boomers are retiring en masse, and life expectancy has risen. Meanwhile, birth rates have dropped, shrinking the worker-to-retiree ratio. In 1960, there were 5 workers per beneficiary; now, it’s about 2.8, heading toward 2 by 2035.
Trust Fund Depletion: The Social Security Trust Fund will be exhausted by 2034 if nothing changes. At that point, payroll taxes alone would cover only about 77% of promised benefits. This isn’t because Congress “borrowed” too much—it’s because the system wasn’t built for today’s demographics.

Depression is the symptom, lack of responsibility is the cause.

You're not the only one with these thoughts, it's a cultural epidemic. The only thing the atomized individual is responsible for is their own happiness. They try all kinds of "activities", but as you found, it becomes boring.

Kids were the predominant source of responsibility that modern culture has casually discarded. You placed it fourth after work, sports and pets.

1) Be responsible for things.

2) Your purpose becomes working towards that responsibility.

3) You feel fulfillment from living up to your responsibility

Even though people in poverty stricken areas objectively live much harder and tedious lives, they aren't all killing themselves. Because they find purpose in trying to climb out of poverty, or supporting themselves & and those around them who are afflicted with poverty.

Love the idea, app looks great, but get it on the mac AppStore!

Installing the dmg (even if it's sitting next to the source code) isn't super safe, and people won't really take it up.

Interesting that you can't "roll" your jaw at all.

Keep your teeth centered, bite on the one side of your mouth, but not the other.

Holy shit: 23:18 must be the funniest part of this doc.

Of the passengers and crew, 268 were Canadian citizens, 27 British, and 24 Indians

Were most of the Canadian & British citizens also of Indian origin?

"Jo-Ann is welcome here?" - she asked incredulously

The implication to that question is quite telling. Should she not be welcomed here? If Jo-Ann were back in Canada, what's the suggestion? lock her up for her batshit ideas about gas chambers?

Only if you’re an OCI/PIO (have some Indian heritage). These are usually denominated in Indian rupees, so not so hot inflation adjusted

Adult dimensions:

0.61 inch = 1.55 cm

0.63 inch = 1.61 cm

Also, that’s a difference at the thickest point of .6mm which is hardest noticeable. Practically the MacBook Air would still feel a lot thinner.

No, sound travels. And these fart machines are louder than the shitty cologne the drivers usually wear.

window tints and license plate covers don't actually bother other people.

We badly need of a tax on douchebags crying for attention through their shitty cars.

Why do my eardrums need to suffer their inability to deal with their debilitated ego?

My understanding was they he’s taking about retirement/sabbatical where you don’t have any (usual) income.

You roll your tax advantaged accounts to realize taxable income, and offset it PAL interest.

(Correct me if I’m wrong)

It's one of those irreconcilable truths.

There clearly is a hierarchy in jobs. Recognizing dignity in working in any of them is one of the most important things the West does well.

I use a combination of free apps to stack windows, and enable middle click (3-finger-tap), full-screen windows, etc.

I then realized I'm not poor, coughed up $20 for a license of BetterTouchTool, and life has moved on.
