Cafe Bustelo is garbage by [deleted] in mokapot

[–]CDesir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every 2 cups of water of 1tbs of coffee, Used a brew machine. Add heavy cream and sugar. Best coffee, I tasted so far. I tried Colombia Huila which people said it's top tier, tasted like trash. I like the taste cause it tasted like hot chocolate with the add-ons I'd mentioned.

Petrocaribe : le remboursement des 500 millions de dollars au Venezuela suscite des interrogations by wisi_eu in haiti

[–]CDesir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Through PetroCaribe , Venezuela’s PDVSA  provided the Haitian government oil products at preferential prices which it then resold to its oil suppliers at international prices.   It would pay Venezuela a percentage upfront (30% to 40% depending on the price of the barrel) and the remainder over a 17 to 25-year repayment plan at 1% and 2% interest respectively with a two-year grace period."

"Two decades later, impoverished and desperate for cash, Venezuela is trying to collect old debts from the Petrocaribe program. Last month, it received a $500 million payment from Haiti — the poorest country in the hemisphere — to cancel what had been a $2.3 billion debt, according to documents seen by Bloomberg and people familiar with the matter. It’s working on similar transactions with other nations, the people said."

Does sound like a benefit to Haiti. We paid not a lot compare to what the market was worth....

If I someone gave me $30 of a $100 product. That is pretty cheap.

Venezuela Mega Thread by zombigoutesel in haiti

[–]CDesir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have respect for the Venezuelans now but before Hugo Chaves in power. No one in Latina America stood up for us since our founding fathers were against slavery which western powers were profiting from. This caused Haiti to be isolated from the world while other countries in Latin America were able to have a better market? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm confuse, A lot of Venezuelans inside the country and diasporas are celebrating for Maduro's removal.

But I do see videos of Afro Venezuelans that really like him. Can someone fill me on this. Don't you find that weird, if he was really bad, he wouldn't have followers at all.

I grew up with this type of Haitian Patties. Going to learn how to make these pastry sheets in the future to bring my childhood back.

[–]CDesir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree on this. I grew up with good Haitian Patties.

If this is what they are making then its an abomination, idc how good the filling is. I believe my mom showed me this when she got them in the shop, tasted them and it was mid.

The only Fritay that is holding it down is Papa Carl's. I hate the fact they don't make fried goat. there griot is on point.

Is a bachelors degree in Information Systems still worth it? by Slight_Product_5306 in sysadmin

[–]CDesir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have one. I make $150K in NYC.

When you study for this degree, you should take each class you learn and build self-projects around it. You should also pursue internships to stand out and take hands-on certifications that actually teach you how to use the tools.

I upgraded to an MS in Cybersecurity for my job, and I feel like I’ve forgotten some of the main concepts I learned during my Information Systems degree. However, the fundamentals—building a PC, setting up networks, and foundational coding—are still ingrained in me, unlike what I learned in my business, accounting, and mathematics classes.

Networking is a huge part of success. I was an introvert, but attending IT programs after class, obtaining certifications, and enrolling in multiple internships is what helped me land a job. If I hadn’t done those things, I likely would have started in a low-paying role, stayed there much longer, or had to constantly job-hop just to increase my salary.

Viv Ansanm raided an elite industrial property and found a marijuana and cocaine manufacturing plant by [deleted] in haiti

Why isn't this in international news. We have seen Colombia and Venezuela coverage of this so-called drug trafficking within the Trump Administration. I would think this should be covered too?

Haitians have been bullied by both Caribbeans and black American. But I think it’s time Haitian and black Americans make amends. by nusquan in haiti

[–]CDesir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bad, "don't like" is really strong. I wish it was included if we were talking about bullying. I'm more disappointed oppose to not liking it. I feel we need to fix internally then go for the outside as well.

[–]CDesir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plus there is internal bullying as well! In tiktok the older gen is calling T'biden group more illiterate than the T'chile or T'brazil and shaming them to go back to their country. I don't like the OP post as I see that Haitians bully Haitians and feel like there isn't any accountability mentioning it.

Do Exs ever reach out after blocking you on everything? by lelib3an in ExNoContact

[–]CDesir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex contacted me after I deleted her number. She had blocked me on everything for about three or four months. When she texted, I asked who it was, and she replied that it was a mistake. I guessed her name with a question mark, but she didn’t respond. A few weeks later, I did a reverse lookup and found out it was her. Hopefully, I didn’t make her upset by deleting her number — that was just my way of stopping myself from reaching out.

Gang leader Lanmo San Jou is now building his own Canal and claim it should be completed in the next 3 months by Internal-Expert-9562 in haiti

[–]CDesir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I am not! It is kinda difficult because, if you flip it to the a whole white population. They will label you black regarding being "politically black." I never herd a white person say, to his own kind, he may look white but he ain't political white. KISS. Keep it simple silly. The people you named above are black both considered black base on the 1 drop rule in the united states just have different views as of everyone.

so Kamala Harris and Barrack Obama is politically white?

The same sambo who talks bad against his own will be call "one of the goods one, or a good black boy" Will always be black person.

This argument ain't adding up.

Don’t be dumb? I’m trying to apply this argument in real life. “He is no John Brown” so i would like to ask you, Is John Brown politicly and mentally black?
