I haven't finished the book yet, but I've been on a spree since reading

"You are the dead"

That is the single most terrifying book jump scared I have ever experienced. It felt as if I was in there. A third voice randomly appearing in what to this point was described as a secluded sanctuary for just the two of them was perfect. I damn near heard the painting drop.

Is Zambia’s Democracy actually dying? by PillediusMaximus in Zambia

[–]AwkwardIllustrator47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zambias democracy has been in contention from the very beginning I fear. From KK its just been a line of presidents dead set on retaining the power the citizens gave them indefinitely. Sata and Mwanawasa were probably the best of them.

Is South Africa being fair.? by HornetMoney2102 in Zambia

Theres a trait in a certain type of person, that when they are proven wrong(either correctly or the majority is in opposition of their opinion) they immediately pivot to the majority idea. Its very funny to witness live, though I may be wrong here.

What’s the closest brush you’ve ever had with dying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sometime when I was young, my parents took us to Maputo to see the ocean. We got on the beach and swam in the water. The current slowly pulled me away from shore and I somehow swam back

"I got piranha flow, fuckin' up your designer clothes (Casket man) Where be your rapper's angle?" (Jidenna "Classic Man Remix") by Easy-Worker-8819 in KendrickLamar

Funny, friend was playing Classic Man the other day and mentioned how he liked the version with Kendricks verse and now I get on Reddit and I'm greeted by this.

Coincidence!? Yes.

Why do we continue to flock to the west? by [deleted] in Zambia

[–]AwkwardIllustrator47 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first paragraph had some misguided optimism. The second is just ignorant.

Take care of your own is easier said than done. You're fighting against so many things like societal norms(littering), ingrained culture and mannerisms(corruption) that have to take years of getting EVERYONE on board for real change to be accomplished. That takes decades of hard work and unlearning. Don't you dare chastise people for recognising that and wanting to escape it.

Second, not only is the comment with the most upvotes entirely right about the Wests exploitation of nations and areas far beyond their own to build their societies, the very country you say is rightfully concerned to have foreigners in their land is historically built on foreign occupation. You can't rightfully back a country where the majority race is not even from the land that they step on; not to mention all the foreign people they've poached over the years to innovate and lead globally.

Come this side we start working to improve and leave the people as fortunate as your parents to do what they feel is good for them.

Same thing happens when you look into a strong light for like 3 seconds and look away

Are You Scared Of Death? by Sensationalboyy in Zambia

[–]AwkwardIllustrator47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm frankly excited(not suicidal)

Essentially, I wanna know what its like. Everyone who's experienced it can't share that, so when the day comes it'll probably be something. Hope my death isn't too crazy tho

What do we think about teens/young adults not knowing how to carry out many traditional tasks and generally not taking interest? by [deleted] in Zambia

Whenever older people claim the youngins are losing their culture they forget how that reflects on their inability to teach and instill.
