In Asia: our grandparents would tell us we were either picked up from the rubbish bin, or exploded from a rock

$300M feels like “Ahh we caught you now, bad boys, don’t let me catch you again. Now go have your lunch.”

These people should be punished harsher for all the lives they’ve destroyed intentionally.

Company hired 5 fresh grass grads, me included. Tasked to build AI products (this was when LLMs were still conceptual Markov chains and ANNs were the shiny new things) and other software products for huge corporations.

Obviously one of the projects failed, regional manager went into a meeting to discuss what to do with the failed project and told the client “we’re not even a software company”.

Started looking for interviews the next day.

Or investors and earning calls.

Once upon a brighter time, gay was only colloquially used to convey happiness, unrelated to the sexual connotations there is today.

Such a sad time we live in where everything becomes a sensitive topic that can insult and hurt.

To clarify before I get cancelled to oblivion 😂 - you want your diversity, fine with me, good for you, but please there is no need to be a touchy one and reserve a swathe of labels to get insulted by when it can clearly be decided upon context if it was meant to be insulting or not.

The loudest band so far seems to be the “memes” band.

We started doing so here in Singapore. Even our public busses flash hazard lights twice to convey a thank you sometimes now. In the context of someone giving way to you.

But on a highway when there’s a sudden slowdown in front, we turn on the hazard lights to convey “dude slow down the dude in front is being weird”. Especially useful when there’s torrential downpours.

Agreed, it’s found in every household where I’m from.

Singaporean: Take my money!
