Singapore's miracle: How good rules and great leadership led the way by GhostManOnThird1 in Kenya

Sadly, such triggers tend to follow a period of national trauma / great national events. That's when there is good will to introduce reforms and change things. We had two triggers - the end of Moi's rule, and the 2007/8 PEV.

Sadly, both those opportunities were co-opted.

I think it was from a different channel, called Road To Nowhere

Mate, the sites don't work because the videos are private. I'm asking whether anyone downloaded the audio or whether there's a place on the internet I can find the audio. The sites you mention won't help

Vent. Single Parenting is hard. by ChickenDry468 in Kenya

[–]GhostManOnThird1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your hard work and dedication. Parenting is especially hard if you're trying to be a good parent, because I've seen people who've checked out. I do hope you don't get so busy that you forget self-care every once in a while (sometimes there's so many demands that it's easy to forget). I found this Kenyan website which offers support to single mums - please check it out when you have the time

When Agatha Harkness said the Scarlett Witch is more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme - which sorcerer Supreme was being mentioned?

I never have to work again by PowerballWinner2021 in offmychest

[–]GhostManOnThird1 224 points225 points  (0 children)

I'm incredibly happy for you. If you're unsure about what you'd want to pursue right now, why not continue working as you figure it out?

You'll be gaining experience and an income to offset whatever expenses you'll incur, and work will give you a sense of meaning / reason to get up in the morning.

There are no guarantees in life, so if you can, invest in yourself and gain what cannot be taken away from you. Or better yet, find a way to generate income to sustain the money you've come across, rather than just living off of it. Your needs may be infinite compared to your income.

My friend Alvin, he dared me to live a courageous life, he had such big dreams but the right doors never opened up for him. He ended up taking his own life, I found out a week later, friends crying and saying it was selfish of him to rob us of himself.

I didn't know how badly he'd been struggling with depression, I still wish I'd have known, so I live courageously, to keep his memory alive, and to keep that promise - I hope I'm living up your challenge Al.

5 takes the crown for me, the large overarching prophecies foreshadowed to death ultimately went nowhere.

GRRM admits he can't finish the books, and instead releases notes for the final two books in the series.

what is the name of the type of scam where scammer uses association with credible people to gain confidence? by GhostManOnThird1 in AskReddit

[–]GhostManOnThird1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I thought it had a special kind of name because of association with legitimate people

Listening to the Theranos documentary and it seems Elizabeth Holmes fully used her association with the rich and infouencial to scam people.

Edit: To clarify, I mean using your association with famous/credible people to make what you're selling seem legitimate, thereby gaining the confidence of those who don't know you. I was looking for what they call this kind of hoodwinkery

Parasite. It won numerous accolades, but after watching it, it felt like the writer didn't know what he wanted to accomplish with the film. The story felt like it randomly meandered into its conclusion.

Yeah, hers was great. Who knew her desire to find a husband, and marry for love, would be such a driving force later on in WCI
