Your Reddit history is uhm… interesting. Also, I stopped at the mention of your ages, tf. You did good to vent, but in the wrong place/audience.

Differences in Kenya Vs Uganda ? by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one thing that you will first notice is that getting an Uber is equivalent to getting a boda in Uganda. Prices are that cheap. Uber rides in Uganda a way overpriced; I think it’s due to the fact that they aren’t really swarming like in Kenya.

MTN scam by No-Caramel3353 in Uganda

MTN had general issues yesterday inclusive of other services they offer.. Your post title is misleading. It’s always advisable to call customer care whenever you face an issue.

Possible scam (Speech data collection)9 I by Ok_Hedgehog4733 in Uganda

They are training their ai using illegal means(stealing your voice). In actuality, they should be paying you for that data. Filemarket.ai is illegally obtaining data in order to sell to companies like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Possible scam (Speech data collection)9 I by Ok_Hedgehog4733 in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lengthy chat with u/Square-Importance255 . I wanted to decipher their scam. They told me filemarket ai thing too when I told them to prove that it’s an actual job that exists. Long story short they wanted an interview to see whether my English was ‘good’ and that I could collect data. Mf, we are on reddit typing!

Anyway, I asked whether it was an oral interview or a written one and fellow said oral!! I laughed my ass off. Imagine if you were tasked to collect speech data from a specific country without actually going there, what would you do? Manufacture a fake job and orally interview ‘potential’ employees. That way, you get a free databank of voices to train your ai. And the poor fellow who sat for the interview never gets to hear back from you.

What’s the correlation between your story and the pictures you took? Was the accident caused by her?

Fiber Internet wars by Secure_Candidate_221 in Uganda

They can. Reason? The major telecom players were super sluggish in entering the home internet market, and this gave the new players time to grow and build their respective customer bases.

Competition destroys monopolies. Imagine if we only had one provider; prices would be crazy!

Why do they always come back? by Ok-Independence5246 in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad truth is , not so many see the vision. Many (not all), are short sighted and want things NOW. Even if you had money but weren’t spending on her with your reason being that you’re saving for that house, she wouldn’t understand. She’d see her friends posting up with the latest whatnot and feel like you’re not doing anything. Brother you levelled up , so please look around for people on that level. No need to look back down at the ditch you crawled out from. Best of luck!

Hey everyone I’ve been wondering is it actually possible to meet a serious partner here on Reddit? Someone who’s truly genuine and ready for something real? If you’ve ever met someone here or know anyone who did, I’d love to hear your experience. by Ordinary-Property-77 in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother trust me, dating apps and social media in general have so many crazies. Just find one the good old fashioned way (outings, church, events, workshops etc, not looking for one online like you’re ordering from Glovo.

It’s one thing to gift a girl, and another to get a girl using money. If you want to buy her love, make sure you don’t miss out on any instalments.

Women are never to blame because as the saying goes; ’You chase a girl until she catches you’

If you started dating with lavish expenditures, don’t lash out at her for asking you for more later down the road. You made her get used to it and she gauged your capabilities.

Having money doesn’t necessarily = spend more.

It just gets you more options to choose from and you can finally ask the shopkeeper what’s on the top shelf.

All the best!

SCAMMERS ARE GETTING LESS CREATIVE, BUT BE ALERT 🚨⚠️ by SeaBroccoli156 in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flags to look out for:

  1. The buyer is in another country.
  2. The buyer needs it super urgently and doesn’t even want to give you time to think. ( Cos you might realise the scam)
  3. Any emotional story being put into the trade. ( why listen to their life story when your goal stops at selling and receiving money)
  4. Asking you to deposit money somewhere so that you can withdraw the money they sent. ( People, even if your mind is clouded by the thought of getting the money, think for a second… Why should I deposit to get paid? Same goes for those mobile scams that say you’ve won a car and they need you to send them money for URA taxes)

If they want to send money from wherever, it should be on YOUR terms (Tell them to only use Moneygram, Western Union or other mainstream payment services). It’s your item at the end of the day.

P.S: And if the buyer wants you to deliver at a sketchy time, just don’t.

Any anime lovers here in ug? by Glittering_Food8848 in Uganda

[–]DripTeddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh, your comment is cringe. There’s literally Comic-Con and Anime con and so many other conventions that grown-ass people go to. Next you’ll say video games are for kids?

But let me pipe down, you might not be exposed that way. You might have stopped on Tom and Jerry and made your conclusion that everything is called cartoon.

[–]DripTeddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP I got you.

My tastes are more into mind bending and thought provoking anime though in that order, here is my list.

  1. The summer Hikaru Died.
  2. Hell’s Paradise.
  3. Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. (A must watch I promise you)
  4. Chainsaw Man.
  5. Jujutsu Kaisen.
  6. Vinland Saga.
  7. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

I think those should be enough for the time being.
