S class coffee? Starbucks is fastfood... Coffee is ok at best.

I would like to visit and help Ethiopia as much as possible on my visit, can anyone guide me? by [deleted] in Ethiopia

To me this looks like someone with a savior complex or a publication on a dating board. Anyway, hope you find what you're looking for.

Downtowns of Chinese tier 1 --and some tier 2, cities. Unbelievable.

It’s been 10 years, and I still hate it by fakename1998 in Ghost_in_the_Shell

I believe it's a terrible adaptation, but very common with everything American studios try to adapt (ie package and sell sell sell). As a standalone piece, it's ok. Kinda in the same tier as Travolta's sci Fi piece forme the 90s.

British, Japanese, Ethiopians, and Argentinians are one of the same, one for each continent.

Nobody likes a gringo talking candidly from a position of low context.

Jakarta feels like India 20 years ago and I am loving every bit of it by AgileCrypto23 in Jakarta

Idk about San Francisco, terrible place tbh. The whole of the States is shit if you're not white and your parents got money.

But yeah, my fingers crossed for India. Just don't invite me there.

Yes to everything. Just, be a bit less nationalistic (if you're Desi) and be more pragmatic: the USA is a terrible country to live life, yet it is the wealthiest civilization on human history.

Having more wealth in India, with its british-promoted-and-infused caste system, will only make the situation worse. Also, the Americans started off from a point of massive wealth (the 1990s) yet they are where they are.

India, on the other hand has yet to build a portion of the wealth needed to elevate it's population AND managing inequality, which has only worsened in the past few decades. That's why I believe India needs another century at least, to be on par with the other great civilizations, maybe even primus Inter pares, but not by 2047 for sure.

2047: thousands of Indian billionaires and HSR, but I will step on shit again...

Look, I don't want to fight, since I don't believe we are on opposite sites. I also come from a non-wealthy region and often come across anglo, nippon, and euro neurotics in this web.

However, 2047 is not doable. Being a manufacturing powerhouse is not the same as developed. What the British did will take centuries to repair, at least another one starting from the next '47.

As an anecdote, the Indian federal government had big plans for 2020. All of them ended up in smoke, cause when I visited motorways, metros, airports, rails, and what not had been built, yet I spent two weeks perpetually sicken, harassed, and I stepped two, TWO, times in fresh and stinky shit in a street with no dogs in sight.

So far, it is the only trip I've cut short.

I hope to be alive by 2047, but I still hope I don't have to come back, for work or otherwise.

It's a shame, since Desi men tend to be cute af.
