I work tech in the states and Indian managers are usually f'n brutal, had to sit through a few tense meetings where my Indian director was practically yelling at one of the project managers, and this was one of his favorites. Indian interviewers are pretty harsh as well. However Indian coworkers are usually pretty cool, especially the few Sikhs I've met.

Money hoarding and stories of the "greatness of the Indian caste system" while he was a boy broke this dudes brain.

What in tarnation?

This shit was too wild for me not to post when I came across it this morning, I knew this organization existed but this guy's vision laid out is dystopian AF.

Sounds like the vision of the Democratic establishment on steroids. Demented meritocracy as a thin veil over autocratic rule.

Are you mentally handicapped?

Bro the Republicans and tech bros are actually advocating for the Handmaid's Tale, yet here you are with your "hurr durr just like the Democrats durrrrrrr", let's be fucking for real.

You got brainworms or Trump Derangement Syndrome or some shit wrong with your brain.

I did too, and that's why I went to what the source embarrassingly was, but yeah I'm in total agreement with you.

You're definitely not wrong, that show and Idiocracy also have some pretty dystopian alternatives.

To finish the quote on her CIA relationship, since context is important:

In May 1975, Redstockings, a radical feminist group, published a report that Steinem and others put together on the Vienna Youth Festival and its attendees for the Independent Research Service.[112][113] Redstockings raised the question of whether Steinem had continuing ties with the CIA, which Steinem denied.[114] Steinem defended her relationship to the CIA, saying: "In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable."

Honestly I figured the context would clear things up, but the rest of the quote makes her come off as an apologist for an organization known to play as dirty as the KGB, and especially during that era. However just because something is funded by an entity such as the CIA doesn't always mean that the organization is part of, partner in, or even a willing partner with something like the CIA, same with the KGB or its descendants, espionage operates on leverage, and it all depends on what kind of hold you have over the "asset(s)".

There are always distinct character differences, like the two referenced in this post, also by no means does he only play weird characters, the guy has a 30 year acting career, however he may be getting typecast for the more bizarre roles these days, or maybe he's like Nick Cage, where he's more attracted to the weird roles these days, either way, I always enjoy the roles Waltz plays.
