there is an incredible amount of racism towards Indians on the computer. tremendous amounts. but I also think some people think it's racist to say "Indian." like how some people miss a step when they say "Black" or "Mexican"

Visited my hometown gym only to find it’s been overrun with Yakubian broccoliheads. One trusted me enough to spot him. They’re not so different than you or me.

Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

A mysterious monk appears in front of a car owner. He asks them to imagine a headlight that offered maximum visibility—but your vision came at the expense of others. The car owner starts pressing the monk's nose like it's a "Buy Now" button. Then they open up a customer service chat with DoorDash

if a guy said Exxon makes Lil Wayne drink gasoline and that's why his music is bad now, you might be like, "well I hate Exxon and love Lil Wayne, but I don't think that's true." But the first guy would go "Everybody, look! This guy hates Lil Wayne! He wants to marry Exxon!" this is the RFK maneuver
