@cinemapaithiyam I am pretty sure it does. I actually think we used to hang out with more diverse folks when we were younger perhaps. I mean desis also are quite groupy in that respect.
masto
Over the weekend I went to my ex-manager's Oktoberfest party. She's been inviting me for years but I've never made it – this time I did. This was the whitest party I've ever been too — if you live in NoVA area, it is such a diverse place that an extremely white gathering can be quite unnatural to see. Not an indication of the people however; it was a lot of fun – I had couple of beers, got some German food and had lots of good conversations. My ex manager made sure that she introduced me to majority of the people (there were more than 200 people). But yes, I won't lie initially I felt like I had walked into Get Out.
I listen to a lot of Pakistani music along with desi music. Today while driving a tune caught dad’s fancy. I know it’s a Pashto song. When he asked who these very Muslim name artists were and what language they were singing in I was like oh the song is Kashmiri! Thanks to modi ji we now have access to music of north, isn’t it wonderful? He was like indeed, such great music!

of course its not going be just the "favorite" action, but more like location, who's in it, time, similarity to other photos nearby and other attributes. just doing favorites would be too easy and also useless.
So one of the first insights my photo "graph" gave me today (after fine tuning for days) is that I favorite snow photos 3x more than other photos. I am baffled at this revelation but it is true. I guess my web app is doing something meaningful. Early alpha days though.

@pratik @santoshhari The thing that Americans don’t like during voting season is being lectured on. So the immediate takeaway for mildly educated or illiterate voter is that he was showing off and did not need to sermonize the poor white kid. We saw this in 2024.

@santoshhari But he did not answer the question – most likely the read of 70% of voters :D.
