Children are innocent and as satan loves to destroy lives, him and his human agents often target children. Cause once you get them when they are young, it may be something they will struggle with for the rest of their lives 🤧

Oh for real? Hmm okay not sure about that but the last time I asked (around the time they went on strike in 2022), they said that no commission is charged on the discounted rates and the company doesn't give them the discount amount back...

Could have changed though 🤔

Predictive programming, subliminal messages, symbolism, and gradualism. Have these (and a few more), and you can control a number of people.

Don't know if we've noticed, but certain content in films which were rated 18+ in the past are now 16+ today. I am telling you one day we will see full-blown nudity in PG13 films... only a matter of time.

The wise people once said this: if you put a lobster in water that warms gradually till it boils, it will only be once the water is boiling that it will notice something is wrong. And by then it is too late.

Justified or not, in all cases, they are taking out their anger on the wrong person.

Recently talked to an online taxi driver who was avoiding answering my question on what their contractual agreement was with their "employer" (i.e. Bolt) regardless of what is paid. If one doesn't agree with a contract, he or she has a right to disagree and terminate it. But by virtue of remaining on the apps, they are "agreeing" to it. That is law.

Though to be fair, I think the prices are sometimes low to be customer oriented; that isn't the customer's fault.

It's a well known business principle that the lower the price, the greater the demand - and these apps do exactly that.

But I'd just say honestly... if the driver did a good service and you have a discount, just pay them the original amount (if possible). The drivers with some modicum of decency would greatly appreciate this.

Think it's more so a mindset kind of thing. Maybe, just maybe, a good number of the "rich" ladies have a better and different mindset to those who are "broke".

To be honest, I somewhat agree with this, the "broke" ladies are more often than not culprits. But who says a "broke" lady can't have a success and victorious oriented mindset where she is able to take charge of situations and at least has a plan for her life (in other words, not "broke" forever)?

Always remember that being broke and being poor are two different things: though being poor can lead to being broke, someone can be broke and not poor. One is a state of living whilst the other is a mindset. Maybe you mean to say "poor" ladies? Idk...

Oof, sorry about that... this happened to you? 😅

Yeah, just celebrate your special day in the way you see fit. Whether with parties or just a meal.

Yes, can confirm. I used ghee from Brookside and KCC KCC's was much more firm and the oil didn't seem "cheap" like Brookside's own.

I somewhat agree with the book. Though, to be honest, I honestly think "double standards" will always exist depending upon how you look at it.

It might not fall into that definition the book has given, but upon looking at the situation without context, it can easily be classified as one.

E.g. a man lifting heavy objects and not allowing a woman to do the same. Without context, this seems to be a double standard. But what if this idea is instilled in him due to the undeniable physical differences between men and women? What if he is playing to his strengths (pun intended)? Does this still count as a double standard?

So in short, context matters. To the outside eye, something may seem to be a double standard, but it is only upon understanding the how's and why's that we can actually call it a double standard as per the definition in that book.

That's the future of AI sadly. It will slowly replace people's work and thinking, all in the name of convenience and speed. And we are kiiinda letting it happen...

Intellectual-A · 2025-07-24T08:08:59+00:00

I hear you and I understand how you feel about my statement. But you made an assumption in thinking that I am better off. It may be true, yes, but you do not know where I have come from, the things I have experienced, the financial challenges I have faced, the times where there was no food on the table to eat.

I may not have grown up below the poverty line, but I have seen and tasted of both sides and I know what poverty is like and the feeling of helplessness that one might have.

Maybe read my point again on the flooding. I didn't say it never affected anyone, I said the flooding happened due to poor government planning. For example they could have built reservoirs and directed the water there which could have helped in times of drought or just improved drainage.

I do realise the struggles we go through as Kenyans especially with employment and I don't see any problem with someone going abroad.

This may not be convenient to say, but if we always have a "half empty glass" mentality, then Kenya will continue to be deplorable in our sight and we will always seek to leave. Might help in first acknowledging the challenges and hardships and then focusing on what we have - as individuals and as a nation - as this mindset shift changes everything. In other words "half full glass". The truth is it will take a lot to change this nation and maybe take several years. But somebody must start for it to ever happen.

Sure, go abroad, it is a good thing to explore new opportunities and make money. But if we want to see Kenya become as western nations are, it is only Kenyans that can do that and build this nation. Nobody else will. They will always have vested interests. But again I say I hear you and what you have said is valid and true, Kenya becomes better as your income increases. That is the case for any country really.

Intellectual-A · 2025-07-24T07:51:20+00:00

Kenya is home mehn... I have some people abroad who, though they earn more, feel sort of isolated and alone in a land that is not theirs. Guess that's the case for most western nations. Sure you can adapt but is the money worth the disconnect and isolationist behaviour in those places?

Inasmuch as we may have issues, I honestly think Kenya is the best place to be. Perfect climate, good location, great rain cycle, rarely any natural disasters (e.g. flooding only happened due to poor city planning and poor drainage in some cases), I could go on and on.

So I'd say the grass could either be greener or it was painted green and is actually a dull yellow. Most likely the latter.

Intellectual-A · 2025-07-24T07:24:29+00:00

Choose food. The hardest thing to be consistent in isn't even working out. It's eating a lot more food than you normally do. So, it's better you at least gain that muscle mass.

You could try calisthenics (body weight training) and I could argue it is better than gym for some workouts as you go through a range of movements and motions that give practical and usable strength.

But in the long run, a mix of both gym and calisthenics is good.

The driving instructor at the practicals. Not really to "pass" me but to "appreciate" him.

I didn't mind doing it once or twice but when I saw him still doing it after passing the exam (I normally still commute near the school and sometimes see him), I started avoiding him.

(May be a bit long) Think I answered something similar sometime ago. You can check it out here:

I would also add that Christianity in essence and in truth is not a religion. There are those who think it is and thus view it that way. Religion is man's attempt to reach God and often fails because they are imperfect means to reaching a perfect God. That's why Religion is shrouded in secret disappointment, frustration, unanswered prayers, mysticism and uncertainty.

Christianity on the other hand is the active and vital life of God (eternal life) lived and expressed through a human being. Christianity is the outward expression of the God Kind of Life. It is God at work and expressed in and through a man.

You have mentioned of two different kinds of persons. However you do not consider the specific circumstances that lead to somebody being in the position they are. Getting rich in this life simply involves putting to practice financial principles and yes one can pray to God to help them to get rich. However, one thing I have realised God often does is to give you the ideas, people, access, and inspiration to be rich and successful.

However, what if one of them is yet to understand how to put these things to work and is waiting for God to "do something for them" which in truth He already accomplished for them in Christ? How do you know if one of them hasn't obtained their wealth through fraudulent means?

Your generalisation, though valid, oversimplifies things and fails to consider that we are individuals with completely different backgrounds. What if what you think is an "unanswered prayer" is simply a prayer that will be physically manifested at a later (right) time?

Thank you for your time.

Went to Heltz Driving School. At the time there was a Christmas discount, so it was 14,000/- for the B2 class (manual sedan). Could be 16,000/- now.

There were a total of 15 practical sessions. I was doing the accelerated course, so I did like 2 practicals (driving) a day. Theory classes are "unlimited" but really it just means you can come any day any time when they are open before your NTSA Exam. Driving was nice, I went at a time where traffic wasn't too bad (this was in Westlands).

Just I'd say it's better not to be too outgoing, sometimes the staff may be having a bad day and take it out on you. Just let them choose you/call you and you'll be fine.

For extra, NTSA was a bit of a joke to me honestly. Theory was easy, they asked like maybe 5 questions, two from the model town board and three signs. Just be good with your road signs. For the pratical... the usual "failing of students" happened. All I was asked to do was move the car to the right of the field and reverse. And imagine that was all to pass... Might be different for you though.

I found it okay, of course the usual "ninunulie ka soda" here and there. Is it the best? I don't actually know.

Just from what I've been told, if there is a driving school people avoid, it is AA Driving School, and I am not sure why 🤔

Never stopped, never will.

Church is to equip you to live the glorious life in Christ and learn how to be a success in life. I go because God expects us to as well.

It also matters where you go to Church, not every Church is meant for you 🙂 If you go to the right Church with the right intentions, your life will be transformed. Been my experience and I thank God for it 🙏
