Why is the student smug but internally crying about not knowing excel?
THIS MOTHER FUCKER MEMED WRONG
Believe it or not, straight to jail.
THIS MOTHER FUCKER MEMED RIGHT
Well yeah, his teacher yelled at him in meme class so he never learned how to meme.
I love the nearly racist truth that there are clear tiers for countries and helpful YouTube content.
Are you an Electrical Engineer? You want a man of Slavic descent.
Computer scientist? Indian man.
Programmer? You want either middle east or (vaguely) American white guy.
Physics? White girl; geographic region not important. Or black American man.
Mental Health: woman either American or vaguely from geographic region of India.
Mathematics? British accent or Asian descent.
I am not sure why this pattern seems to exist, but it feels present. If you seek help on YouTube with any of these subjects I imagine you’ve seen it.
Like if I’m looking for an explanation on Colombs Law, I want a guy that sounds like ElectroBoom. If I need to know about Discrete Finite Automata, Ill click the first guy with a turban. If I want to know about the poincare conjecture, Im looking for snaggletooths. If I want the latest from James web, I’m looking for a ponytail or Sabine.

I feel like even SEO acknowledges this prejudice.

But the god of all electricians is Iranian
The rest I can’t argue with at all though
Iranians and Slavs are both Indo-European, which is almost what I wrote. And literally after googling ElectroBoom’s accent/nationality
That sounds like an American pop culture and entertainment characters check list.
I feel called out by the electrical engineering part, I did tinker with electrical stuff ever since I was a kid and know a ton of shit about it >!(Also explains why I suck at programming but that’s not the point)!<

Don’t discount Scandinavians here
Yeah, Aussies too. I should change that to “white dudes aged 25 to 35”
Indian man on YouTube put me through college 10-14 years ago. He’s a real one.
It wasn’t that my instructors were discouraging me or anything. Indian man just has a way of explaining things.
I tried so hard to listen but the accents are too thick sometimes. You should get a certificate for being able to understand after all that.
It starts to really sink in after about 100 hours lol
My first job out of college, I worked with a lot of Indian people. It was like I was uniquely prepared to work there.
I laughed so hard at this 😂 I grew up amongst Indians and I know every word they say. This made me laugh.
My first job taught me to understand Indian accents, and my second taught me the tiny differences between Mexican and Castilian Spanish
You must do the needful

When I was young we had a Smith-Corona PC. It was like a suitcase.
Anyway, I had two things I could learn from - Lotus 1-2-3 and Leisure Suit Larry.
I didn’t learn spreadsheets.
Edit: add pic of Primitive portable PC preceding Passionate Patty’s play.
Lotus 1-2-3 […] I didn’t learn spreadsheets
What do you mean? Lotus 1-2-3 was a spreadsheet. It was THE spreadsheet.
He learned LSL instead.

Unfortunately named.
I don’t think they are losing a lot of sales since 2022.
It’s also the sun’s “atmosphere” and an old-fashioned German women’s name.
It means “crown” and is a popular word. It just hits different now!
Nearly every time I’ve needed to learn how to get around an issue in flashing a custom ROM onto an Android device, it’s been South Asian YouTubers’ tutorials that saved the day.
What issues can you have. I have never had any problems with flashing roms to phones.
Well, that’s nice that you’ve never had problems. But issues I’ve seen over the years, range from not having certain functions working after the flash (generally needed specific firmware upgrades prior to the flash), not having the device recognized by the PC without additional steps, needing specific custom recoveries, bootloops, being stuck on splash screen, needing extra steps to unlock the bootloader (e.g. Xiaomi), not being able to easily downgrade Android version (sometimes needed as a first step prior to installing alternate OS’s like Ubunu Touch), even soft bricking. Plus, in learning how to flash custom ROM’s in the first place, guess who provided me with the info on how to do it.
I guess I was lucky with my mi 11 lite, but i wasn’t lucky with the hardware working. Well the 2017 redmi is way better anyway.
