Our dear friend Dorje ji’s been harping on the same post since yesterday & I keep getting these notifications from X lol — I am not exactly annoyed because I am not even reading them (apologies Dorje ji) but man I think he should let go now 😊😊 We all know Dorje ji is passionate about his favourite topic, and sure, he puts in a lot of effort in creating graphs & statistics which is a matter of great amusement for me, but pivoting is important, Dorje ji — the world’s beautiful, the sun’s shining, it’s Sunday, grab a coffee, and sit down with a book. It’s time for relaxation Dorje ji. You can do this.

😊😊

@uttambajra78742 यस्तो मान्छेलाई पनि अझै stamina चाहींन्छ र दाजु? यति धेरै stamina को के गर्नु के? 😊😊

Here’s the thing: Every morning, still in the bed, half-awake & debating whether I want to go back to sleep for a few extra minutes, I reach for my phone, scroll through Nepali X - and within 2 minutes I am fully awake, adrenaline pumping, as though I just downed two large cups of coffee lol The ‘kick’ I get from this funny (& dangerous lol) algorithmic beast is akin to some high quality dope hehe.

Lol - true. The void’s almost impossible to fill. YouTube isn’t for me. I can read and write a little, but monologues aren’t my thing haha! Every country should have a center-right think-tank imo - in Nepal all we see/read is outdated ideas from 80s/90s, nothing exciting in the world of ideas. If I ever win a lottery, I will start a center-right think tank in Nepal hehe.

@Sankalpa_007 @EtaHernus Has to have serious content/readership lol - philosophy/law/politics etc

Gladiator, Inglorious Bastards, Django - in that order

Good one

नेपाली जनता are one of the most vocal & zealous advocates of personal freedom & liberty. I won’t lie: until recently I too thought that the “public indecency” (let’s call it that) should be curtailed somehow. But I now see the dangers: on one hand the two biggest parties have created an electoral hegemony & now on the other, they’re trying to curb speech under dubious pretext. Nepali Janatas aren’t going to buy this rotten red herring - KP Oli has an authoritarian streak & Nepali Congress is fully exploiting him.

Cricket used to be an even contest between bat and the ball, which incentivized youths to take up bowling & refine their craft. The dearth of quality bowlers in the world today perhaps is a consequence of high modernity? Everyone’s after that instant kick of dopamine when a batter smacks the ball to the boundary. Indeed there’s also a dopamine rush when a wicket comes tumbling down, but the opportunity is scant, mere 20 times if all wickets fall. Whereas, you can hit unlimited numbers of fours & sixes feeding into the crowd frenzy. Thanks to Test cricket, we can still see some great contest between bat and ball, but that’s got more to do with pitches than the bowlers.

It’s all right Dorje ji. I hear ya! I see how passionate you are about the topic (graphs, screenshots, statistics, venn diagrams) …wish I had so much extra time - I make do with word-salad instead 😊😊 Dorje ji - perhaps you need an outlet - have you ever thought of meditation? Taking long walks also helps. But on a serious note Dorje ji - what’s with all that ccing your gang on all your posts? As a kid, I always wanted my gang around for protection just in case I needed them, you remind me of my bygone days. Dorje ji - I am inclined to believe that you’re a nice man at moments of clarity, when emotions aren’t running so high, which though rare in your case I presume, still should clear up the cloud in your brain. Sunshine Dorje Ji, sunshine. Clears up the foggiest skies.

Nostalgia once again 😊😊

I am a big fan of old school machismo - men who stood their ground but also knew their boundaries. Something primal, yet life-affirming, something transcendental in a way.

@Sankalpa_007 Dorje daju will get mad - firing off another round of graphs and data haha. With hashtag “structural racism” lol

Ah I now see Dorje Ji has pounced on my post thus proving my point. The honcho, the kingpin, the ring leader, the OG, the bigwig, the smooth slayer, the all mighty keyboard warrior …DOOORJE ji (wrestling vibes guys) has come with his guns blazing. And oh - there he takes aim with his “intellectual integrity” thus instilling fear & trepidation in dastardly sissies like us. Hahaha. Dorje ji - in all seriousness, I think I am way more radical than you but you know what, there’re these annoying things in life called boundaries. You know how ppl put fence around their property? Yeah, it’s to let others know that as humans we live by certain timeless rules and laws—human rules/psychological rules—so we can maintain a modicum of civility. What your kind of activism—naming and shaming people on SM does (& you’ve done that to me before)—is it turns friends into foes. As for being intimidated by your “intellectual integrity” goes, Dorje ji, trust me I meet way more intelligent people daily from all walks of life & of all ethnic stripes, so you may be (perchance?) a bit delusional in that regard. You certainly seem to have a penchant for graphs and figures like a child has for a box of legos, but intellectuality? Ah common Dorje ji, don’t get too high on whatever you smokin there. Dorje ji, here’s a suggestion (although I know you don’t need one): why not instead of trying to name and shame your imaginary foes say something nice about them for once? Let’s see if you can do it. Go ahead Dorje Ji, let’s be brothers for one moment and see what that does.

@Upasika1 @wut_dufuk100 Agreed. Btw - I also think it’s the social media that amplifies these feelings bc ppl can readily form distant alliances & it’s so easy to hyperventilate on others. Most people are nice in person 😊😊 or at least they have many redeeming qualities.

@wut_dufuk100 @Upasika1 😆😆 I know! It’s gone to a ridiculous level these days!

@razan_thakuri Lol

@Upasika1 True. Humans are fallible creatures. All we can do is strive to be better.
