นักท่องเที่ยวชาวอินเดียรายหนึ่งสั่งข้าวไข่เจียวจากร้านรถเข็น โดยสั่งไข่เจียวถึง 5 ฟอง ซึ่งทางร้านติดป้ายราคาชัดเจนว่าฟองละ 20 บาท
แต่หลังจากพ่อค้าทอดไข่และเสิร์ฟอาหารให้เรียบร้อยแล้ว ลูกค้ากลับขอต่อราคาเหลือเพียงฟองละ 5 บาท รวมทั้งหมดแค่ 25 บาท เมื่อพ่อค้าไม่ยอมลดราคาให้ เจ้าตัวกลับไม่ยอมจ่ายเงิน จนเกิดการโต้เถียงกันขึ้น

🇨🇳 A ameaça da China: "Vou investir em infraestrutura no seu país."
🇺🇸 A ameaça dos EUA: "Vou colocar o seu país em uma ditadura militar por 21 anos, se você não me der suas terras raras."
Beijing is the biggest threat to Brazil's sovereignty.
It started with the lights.
In January 2017, China's State Grid took control of CPFL Energia, one of Brazil's biggest power companies.
By 2018 it had spent almost R$30 billion buying out the other owners.
State Grid also runs about 10% of Brazil's high-voltage power lines, more than 16,000 km of them.
In March 2026 it closed a deal worth about R$7 billion for one more, a 1,200 km line in Minas Gerais.
China Three Gorges bought Duke Energy's ten Brazilian hydro plants in 2016 and became the biggest private power producer in the country.
A year later, another state company, SPIC, paid R$7.18 billion for the São Simão dam, and it gets to run that dam until 2048.
Out at sea, two Chinese state oil companies own 15% of the extra oil rights at Búzios, which pumped about 1.19 million barrels a day in September 2026 and is now Brazil's biggest oil field.
On the coast, China Merchants bought 90% of TCP in 2017, the biggest container terminal in southern Brazil.
On the farm, a company backed by China's CITIC paid US$1.1 billion for Dow's Brazilian corn seed business and walked away with 18.5% of the corn seed market.
Underground, China's CMOC took over gold mines in Maranhão, Minas Gerais and Bahia in January 2026 for up to US$1.015 billion.
On November 7th, CSN signed a deal to sell CSN Cimentos, Brazil's second biggest cement maker, to China's Huaxin for R$12.7 billion.
MMG, controlled by state-owned China Minmetals, is still waiting on Europe to approve its US$500 million deal for Anglo American's Brazilian nickel.
In 2025, Brazil pulled in more Chinese investment than any other country on Earth, US$6.1 billion.
In April 2024, State Grid told Brazil's energy minister it wants to invest another R$200 billion.
State Grid, Three Gorges, SPIC and CNOOC all report to one office in Beijing called SASAC, which picks their top bosses and signs off on their big deals.
So the parent companies behind a large share of Brazil's power answer to a government no Brazilian ever voted for.
Brazil's own government sold some of these assets at public auction, including São Simão and the Búzios oil rights.
Brazil needs outside capital, and the safest money comes from many countries at once, so no single foreign government ever holds the switch.

Indian fatigue in Canada is growing at a geometric rate.
Erin, Ontario:
A fatigued mother yells at a group of men for setting off Diwali fireworks outside of her home at 1:40am.
She moved to small town Erin from Brampton to get away from these people. But they and the many problems associated with them followed her. This is the same neighbourhood that recently got attention for having a community garbage pile.

Understand that a lot of Indians think this is what software development is.
They just blatantly steal and lie and when you catch them they will play dumb and do whatever it takes to avoid consequences or downplay the deed.
He even says “steal it” because he thinks it’s normal.
This bitch ass looser "spent thousands of dollars building" a repo of 50+ templates "every single one generated with Claude Fable 5".
- He didn't. ~200 of them are paid templates from 10 vendors, 45 of them mine, scraped from our live demos, relicensed as MIT in his name.

"Steal it. Ship it." He literally did.

That's exactly why NE China today is like 91% Han Chinese. Any Chinese from NE China who larps as Manchu is almost 100% guaranteed NOT to be Manchu but a Han from Shandong.

Le Japon a toujours voulu que le monde entier se souvienne de l'histoire des bombardements atomiques sur Hiroshima et Nagasaki.
Pas de problème.
Mais je me demande, pourquoi le Japon ne peut-il pas affronter avec autant de sérieux les crimes qu'il a commis en Asie ?
Le massacre de Nankin en Chine, des centaines de milliers de civils ont péri.
La guerre d'agression japonaise en Chine a causé d'énormes pertes humaines et matérielles.
Le Japon a imposé des travaux forcés en Chine, laissant de nombreuses victimes.
L'armée japonaise a également utilisé en Chine des armes chimiques et des méthodes de guerre biologique.
Le Japon peut commémorer ses morts de guerre.
Pourquoi la Chine ne peut-elle pas se souvenir de sa douleur ?
Les pertes des uns s'appellent mémoire historique, celles des autres c'est « remuer le passé » ?
Quel genre de logique est-ce ?

This is what it is like working with incompetent Indians.
They know they get jobs via Indian nepotism, but they also make bullshit humble brag statements on top to gloat and collect some izzat.
Indians do not understand merit. To them it means successfully cheating the system.
Back in 2020, before I even started my master’s at NYU, I sent out 400 emails asking for an RA or TA job. Every department. Every professor I could find.
One of them was to the ex-Deputy Governor of the RBI. His name is Viral Acharya
He cracked JEE in 1991 with AIR 5 and walked into @iitbombay in Computer Science. Graduated in 1995 with the President of India Gold Medal, the highest GPA in a batch of 350.
Then a PhD in Finance from @NYUStern. Then, from 2017 to 2019, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), one of the people setting monetary policy for 1.4 billion people.
I was a nobody with an average resume and a humble request.
He replied, regardless. And followed up when the position opened up!
I eventually landed a Research Assistant (RA) position before my start date. It covered my living expenses for two consecutive years. The best part: it ended with a research paper published in an international journal.
Imagine if I had self-rejected myself.
Never underestimate the power of a cold email. The worst case is silence. The best case changes your life. Huge upside. Zero downside

His identity was leaked.
Chuds are already threatening to call his future employers and show them racist posts he made.
He may even be forced to work in India, possibly scamming… and you’re laughing?

A new South Asian employee at work asked me on a date (over text). I respectfully rejected him and gave the excuse I don't date co-workers. Well, fast forward a week later, I'm in HR. Apparently an "anonymous" co-worker reported me for being racist against South Asians. I clocked who it was instantly and told the HR lady that rejecting someone for a date isn't racism. He didn't even bother deleting his text exchange with me and he DM'd me on his work phone to my personal phone.
A few more weeks went by. Heard nothing. Then finally, a friend of mine who works in HR told me that the original HR lady rightfully wanted to fire the guy, but her superior (who also happens to be South Asian btw) decided that putting him on a PIP was enough.
I should quit this job.
