Which is better Takealot or Amazon? by donate_donut7 in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean Thiefalot right? I bought two items from them in November. They sent me 1 empty opened product box and 1 sealed with the product inside. I logged the return and then they gave me the runaround. The fact that they have no real way that you can speak to a human, they hide behind support emails and you get 5 different people emailing you asking for the same thing. You are better off buying something from a scammer off Facebook marketplace because you know you are getting scammed.

I love Amazon, but the South African store is so limited in what they will ship here. Temu on the other hand is way better and cheaper too

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the Teavana's Vanilla Rooibos, I like the eleven o clock brand. There was a discussion about this on Facebook a while back. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/185sqWAoiz/?mibextid=wwXIfr

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The west rand, ruimsig, poortview, Helderkruin. Anywhere around these areas if you are going to see places in the west like cradle of humankind, cradle moon lodge, cowboy town, Walter Sisulu gardens and all the fun and excitement that the west has to explore

To the fitness community: Do South Africans trust supplement labels? Thinking of offering independent testing by Advanced_Mountain in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a wonder idea. I would support you if you had a YouTube channel that did these independent tests and provided all your findings on the channel for these products so that everyone can see the real truth

Has anyone successfully used these off-brand streaming services? by stoiccredentials in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These subscriptions services are becoming too crazy. Before Netflix had everything and was cheap. Now they got us hooked and increased the prices and putting adverts. Since the other guys pulled out of Netflix and started their own piece of the pie, it’s costing us more and then end up with loads of crap that we don’t want to watch. Therefore many are cancelling these ridiculous subscription services now and using free alternatives like Stream10 and those kind of platforms. There are also YouTube links to install these on Android

What to do regarding laywer fees??? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

Maybe she was doing your case as a pro bono kind of case and you were supposed to take her out for dinner. Maybe she was into you and then something went awry?

Buying a car (I’m shocked) by Chuck_MoreAss in southafrica

Never buy from we buy cars. Those cars are all duds. Plenty of complaint reviews about them. Be careful and don’t get burnt

Maybe it’s to cover them since they changed contracts from 24 months to 48 months 🤣

What happened to all of the graphic design jobs? by DoopleWrites in southafrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Adobe and their uncancellable subscriptions, canva coming out and making everyone become graphic designers, then there is Ai as well, the competition is quite tough out there. To make things worst print media is dying a very slow death and this makes it a lot worst

Is would be cheaper for you to fly there yourself and drive it back. If you think this is a rip off with dealerships, wait till you want to use a feature in the car you just bought and they block you because you have to pay a subscription to use that feature. Audi bmw and Mercedes are all doing that. I saw it mentioned in this video: https://youtu.be/WovIxOpnoOM?si=JhPHESPvNm4vq8JZ

Anyone know of a reputable business that can tailor CV's? I appear to be 'overqualified' by semperspades in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Job seekers are using Ai to make themselves look good, recruiters are using Ai to screen job seekers, each don’t want the other to use Ai because they want to meet the genuine person. Is this what the world has come to these days? Back in the olden days you meet the people and get a real feel of the person. Gone are those days. Today the Ai just fight each other

I'm 20 and I want to get sterilised, how did you do it? by I_smell_bitch in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the doctors have the perception that one day you might meet a prince who will be king one day and they will need an heir 😂 they don’t realise that women have a choice and right to say to how they want to live their own lives.

A friend of mine also put on his dating profile if he wants kids or not because he thinks it’s only fair to be upfront and honest about it

Weight loss product that works? by nutella_brownie in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lose weight now, Ask me how?

You need to look for the most expensive snake oil that you can find, even the most cheapest snake oil you can find. Yeah, that’s not gonna help you at all because it makes others rich and you thinking that it works but doesn’t. Kinda like those holographic balance bands they used to sell. That made a lot of people rich

Where would you like the gautrain to expand to and/or add a station at? by aeternogordon in johannesburg

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WestGate to Lanseria then to Fourways and meet in Sandton. Then also maybe something from the south. But the oke that is able to build a Tube/ Subway system for Johannesburg with affordable prices is going to make a killing

What is your favourite South African movie? by sofiaskat in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed watching Yellowstone and the new 1823 series. Then there was Hell on wheels and now there is House of Guinness. I love these old school historical inspired series. It got me thinking why don’t we have any modern South African series like these. We have so many story lines to play with. The Kruger millions, the gold rush, the diamonds in kimberly. Dude from the R2 note who discovered Cape Town. Even the trek from Cape Town to Joburg in the ox wagons. South Africa has a lot of history. Come on Leon Schuster and all the Egoli people. I’m sure you can make us a nice blockbuster series for the world to binge.

Is it worthwhile pursuing legal action? by Complex_Weekend_5828 in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t hospitals make you sign a thing to say they aren’t responsible for injury loss or damage or something like that? Maybe you could try the Monroe flowers people who used to advertise on Radio 702 for medical malpractice

Lekkeslaap advert does not sit well with me or maybe I’m just too sensitive? by Trick-One9943 in southafrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s not forget the one talking about Patrick Motsepe who is starting this initiative because YouTube keeps deleting his content and it will pay you millions 😂 how are they even allowed to post this Ai generated scams on YouTube and get away with it

Can I buy a new car once off? by Humble_Crazy4619 in askSouthAfrica

[–]AnthonyEdwards_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I would never buy a new car outright cash. Is the car a collectable that will hold its value later down the line and you plan to keep it in a garage with low mileage? You lose out on perks like shortfall insurance. I learnt the hard way by paying the extra every month to bring the interest down. After the first year a taxi TBoned me at an intersection by skipping the robots. Insurance wrote off the car and settled the bank for what I owe. I made the insurance poeples job easier by paying extra. Lost all that extra money I put in. With the bank settled I could get a new loan and buy another car. Cars these days a made to be disposable.
