The fact that Israel gets to pretend to be the good guy by letting in *some* of the many aid trucks they’ve illegally blocked for months.. Multiple ships have attempted to bring in aid and been intercepted.
The “I didn’t say that” is probably my favorite genre of @paulg tweets.
I didn't say that. You have a screenshot of the essay right there in your tweet and you can see that this sentence doesn't occur in it.
“It gets better” is only true if you make it get better. A couple years ago I hit my absolute rock bottom — I was CTO of a crypto company I had raised $3mm for and felt trapped in. I was doing well in the rat race, but I didn’t want it anymore. Not just the company but that…
My hottest take is if your parents really don’t approve of your partner they probably have a point you should stop and consider (But also, your parents shouldn’t be making your life decisions as an adult)
As much as we joke about anon comments, sometimes they are right. It is true that I was an insufferable California feminist for a while — I did that to survive Silicon Valley (the sweet Pakistani girl I used to be would have gotten chewed up & spat out). Still, I’d rather be the…
You’re posts as of recent show some humility. You SF days your presented as a douche and a ugly hoe with a ultimate fem centric fetish.
When a guy who has had me blocked for years says “I have seen some of your content, good luck with the book” >>>> What burner account?
At a cafe in Lahore overhearing the couple next to me flirt. Can’t stop smiling. There is nothing like Pakistani romance. This boy is absolutely obsessed, and not hiding it. The girl is so shy, it’s adorable.
It’s a funny thing, regret; I keep thinking if I was in that situation again, I would respond so differently. But then again I wouldn’t be in that situation again; I only got in it because of who I was then. Probably not healthy to replay my lowest moment on repeat.
The world would be sexier (and I promise the birth rate would be higher) if people wore more clothes. Why are all our pop stars basically naked on stage? Leave something to the imagination! Create some mystery and attraction please
These guys are collectively speedrunning a mass extinction event and nobody ever stopped to do a physiognomy check
I love so many things about being back in Pakistan, but probably the most is this entire country is free of Zionists. Our passports say “valid in every country except Israel” 😇
Anytime someone refers to Hamas as a “terrorist organization,” I lose respect. If you see the scale of what Israel (and by proxy) the United States has done, and you still think Hamas are the terrorists, you have been brainwashed. And you’re probably too stupid to see it.
“But do you condemn Hamas?” No I don’t. Hamas are orphans, freedom fighters who watched their parents get blown up by Israel. Descendants of innocent Palestinians who lost their homes and rights and lives in the Nakba because they had the heart to allow WWII refugees into their…
Guys I don’t think the gender wars will ever end. We will play these stupid games until the end of civilization, and then we all die
Life hack: move from the world’s ~most expensive city to the world’s ~least to follow your dreams
Living in San Francisco is like being on LinkedIn all the time — both online *and* offline. You couldn’t pay me to live in that place again.
“There are plenty of fish in the sea” is the biggest lie told to keep people single because no matter who or how attractive you are, there are not plenty of fish that would be a match for *you.* If you find someone whose personality, appearance, interests and goals align with…
Idk who needs to hear this but you don’t need antidepressants, you need to live authentically. Obviously if you hate your job and can’t be yourself with your friends you won’t want to get out of bed in the morning. It’s not a chemical imbalance it is a life imbalance.
