im from the bad post police, and i'm afraid i have bad news
So I'm a Junior Developer, I feel as though I'm a very happy person and I feel like I'm smiling. I love my job and the people I work with; I'm not unhappy. However, my new manager keeps telling me that I look unhappy and miserable and asks me to smile more.

Is there any way I can respond to my manager when he mentions this without causing offense?

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

The Body Contact Training Suit requires the wearer to maintain frequent body contact with another person in order to hear normally. If the wearer stops touching someone for too long, static noise begins to play through headphones sewn into hood. A capacitance sensing circuit measures skin to skin body contact via a metal bracelet sewn into the sleeve.

The Anti-Daydreaming Scarf contains a heat radiation sensor that detects if the wearer is engaged in conversation with another person. While he is, the scarf vibrates periodically to remind the wearer to pay attention and stop daydreaming.

Will I encounter any problems as a recognizable Jew in India?

I may have to travel to Bangalore, India for work at some point in the future. While there I may be traveling in other parts of India as well. In the past I have only traveled internationaly in places where I knew being recognizable as a Jew (i.e. wearing a kippa and tzitzit) would not be outright dangerous (such as Canada, Israel, etc.). If it is obvious that I am Jewish in India, am I likely to face extraordinary difficulties?

This part of doing business always confuses me.

I reach out to someone asking them the status of a request. And if they can't answer the question, they come back to me with "You need to reach out to this person".

What I'd like to know is, why are they telling me to reach out them? Instead of them just adding someone to the thread themselves.

So when someone writes:

"Good Morning Tim:

Please reach out to Jared Gray, as this request is assigned to him."

Do I just send out another email with the new person added to the thread? Or do I acknowledge that I'll reach out to that person and then start another thread?

Would a long flight, such as across the Pacific, provide a headstart to altitude acclimatisation?

Tell him to gently caress off.

this is unfortunately up for debate with the constant SJW poo poo that permeates society

I used to think 'SJW poo poo' was over the top and good to make fun of but nowadays the opposing faction is so terrifyingly garbage that SJWs are good now. Sorry
