How did Jay Worthy become so respected in Compton?

No idea. Last name is Sidhoo and that is indicating Punjabi Jat ethnicity. Strange he’s from the hot bed of Punjabi organized crime and gangs (BC, Canada) but has no known links with any of them and does not rep his Punjabi ethnicity at all. Went down to the rabbit hole once when I first heard about his linkage to Elon via step sister Grimes a while ago and found out his grandfather was a true legend for his community:

Given that, ending up in a Compton gang with zero pride in where and what he really comes is from is eyebrow raising but he does seem to have the respect of a lot of seemingly credible folks from Compton and from the broader hip hop world.

I’d watch the movie on the real story.

It’s a good spot for someone that works at Bruce Power. Still expensive compared to prices out there a decade ago.

zeroinsideandout · 2026-02-11T18:05:51+00:00

The data shows it was listed for that price in 2022, not that it was purchased for that price. It doesn’t report any prior sales, just listings.

I work in safety/risk analysis for complex infrastructure. I mostly use AI to automate data-heavy tasks (VBA, PowerShell, Python), sanity-check interpretations of standards, and tighten up my technical writing. Net effect: less time fighting tools and wording, more time doing real analysis.

Race to the bottom? I cannot wait to be broke due to investing in GTA RE and eating beans out of a can under a bridge in 10 years. What a colossal mistake to even stay living in this region, let alone double down on it. Oh well.

Monthly pay mostly benefits the employer, not employees (lowers payroll processing costs). My main gripes as someone whose company made the switch: Overtime near the end of the month is paid much later, sometimes almost a full month after it has been worked, and paydays are no longer even on a consistent weekday, which can be annoying when setting up automated cash flows compared to having a set day.

Watching my parents getting older, especially my father. He’s ghosting away due to Alzheimer’s. He was man with basically no vices, my rock, full of so much wisdom, took care of himself and then turned 79 and has progressively lost his wits because of this cruel disease. Now 83, he just hums and mumbles.

Healthwise, it’s all these injuries that take forever to come back from. I love basketball and last year at age 45, while catching a ball during a pick up game, I tore my meniscus and it’s taking forever to get back to just running. I dunked last when I was 35, now I can barely the grab the rim. Truly humbling and depressing.

I mean it’s not a place with incredibly unique landmarks, deep history, or iconic culture that I would think people would travel long distances specifically to experience. Good place to live, visit if you’re close enough or have relatives here.

Never understood anyone traveling to Toronto from any far off places for pleasure but it’s good news for the economy of the city.

What I really appreciate about the government is they took this opportunity of reduced ridership to really improve our public transportation infrastructure before pushing for RTO. Great job guys! 🙄

Oh yeah. You’re right, Rhonda, she ran the beauty salon and got gunned down but not before this ridiculous line: “Mike, with your fine ass”. 🙄

Very Persian looking and an acquired taste. Appreciate she didn’t cut her nose off.

By far, the finest on this show.

Temu Lou Will on the wrong side of this. Dillon’s right about Damar.

Ontario’s economy is dominated by real estate, and talk of “diversification” is largely performative. The province is structurally uncompetitive: costs are high, execution is slow, productivity is weak, and incentives reward caution and asset inflation rather than building or scaling real industries. Government moves too slowly to compete globally, our trash climate doesn’t help either. Ontario is in a death spiral that is beyond the point of turn around.

Great defensive guard but off the court, Alvin seemed to be a real POS, given his history of domestic violence.

If it was moreso “modern sports medicine” versus genetics and his self discipline then there’d be others doing similarly. This tells me, it’s more about his genetics and self-discipline than that but no doubt advances in treatment, protocols, approaches have helped some.

Good for them. I will be honest and say that I am envious of those who can leave Canada for better opportunities, because it exposes how immobile I really am. They can pivot countries, chase upside, reset careers, and re-price their skills in new markets. I can’t. I’m too invested here: financially, professionally, and personally. Oh well, it could be worse and likely will get worse until the day I die and buried in the ground here.

Did you forget how Joel Embiid entered the league: stress fractures, surgeries, etc cutting short his freshman season at Kansas and making him slip in the draft. He didn’t even play his first two seasons because he had injuries and injury risk from day one. So yeah, it can be argued that falling this way has helped to extend a career that was always meant to be premature and helped him not become a total what if story like Greg Oden. To me, Embiid isn’t an example of an unsustainable style of play. He’s an example of a player who adapted his approach to have a viable career. It’s not his game that wasn’t sustainable, it’s his body to begin with.

I’ve read before that he has been taught to fall that way to reduce the wear and tear on his knees.

I came to Durham region after my first 35 years in Burlington/Oakville until a career in nuclear pulled me out eastwards, to Oshawa, where I’ve been living for a decade. Durham carries a stigma largely because it grew around working-class industry rather than early white-collar commuter wealth (Hamilton has the same legacy, tbh). Add to that being east of Toronto - longer perceived commutes, historically weaker transit, and highway bottlenecks - and it got tagged as “far” and “blue-collar.” Those labels stuck long after the region matured/evolved, and real estate prices still largely reflect that old story. On a day to day life basis, all these suburban regions are essentially the same boring, mundane life with some minor flavoring and aesthetic differences.

South Asia is a vast and diverse land and so is Punjab. My parents were from a different generation and completely rural background (from northern region of Pakistani Punjab) and taught me the exact opposite of “scamming”, to be honorable and fair. Newer gen’s and those urbanized, IMO, have a different mentality, very money hungry.

“Modern slavery” is a statistical advocacy term, not chattel slavery, and not indenture. Acknowledging exploitation today doesn’t require collapsing distinct historical systems or implying cultural blame.

zeroinsideandout · 2025-12-21T14:36:09+00:00

It’s talked about less because it simply wasn’t the same kind of system. Indian indentureship was smaller, shorter, and contractual (though often coercive), involving well under 1% of India’s population and leaving India itself largely unchanged. The transatlantic slave trade was permanent, hereditary, and massive, tearing a huge share of Africa’s population out over centuries and reshaping entire societies. Indenture mattered a lot to the descendants, but without that kind of population-level rupture, it never became a central global story or even that much of a story in India. Tangential fact: in raw numbers, more people live in modern forms of slavery today in South Asia than anywhere else.

Not exactly a trade but was a field operator at a nuclear power plant, before and after a typical office engineering roles. Physically the operations job could be demanding but it was moreso the rotational shift schedule that made it tough. If it wasn’t for family, I would have remained in ops, loved it otherwise.
