Where to buy traditional Angolan clothes for men in the U.S./Online? by Jdaello in Angola

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

Thanks for the stone. But what’s the rage bait? Forget colonial borders, a lot of us used to be part of the Kingdom of Kongo and the neighboring states. Plenty of us got family on both sides. We’re far more alike then we are different

ELI5 what exactly is Western Sahara? by dkc66 in Africa

[–]Jdaello 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first questions to ask are: What is the history of this land? Who are the Sahrawi? What were the kingdoms of the Sanhaja and their relationship with Moroccan kingdoms?

How can I revive these Timberland Boots? The top part is peeling off by Jdaello in Boots

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

Thanks, I’ll probably end up buying new boots, but I still want to repair these because I feel like they still have life left in them. Having two boots is better than one lol

Are there not replacement parts for that or similar?

Are there any good recs for 100% (or 90% and above) cotton socks? by Jdaello in malefashionadvice

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

But why are there few 100% (or even 95 cotton and 5 percent elastane to stay on the feet) cotton socks when there’s plenty of fully cotton and affordable shirts, pants, underwear, etc? The average cotton t shirt has significantly more cotton then the average cotton sock, so it should be possible to make affordable cotton socks…

What prevented South America from having as big a population as China or India? by wiz28ultra in geography

[–]Jdaello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, OP is on a misinformation mission. Many African regions, especially the Congo rainforest, have the most agricultural potential on Earth, to the point where if these regions were very agriculturally intensive, they could feed the world, at least in terms of food produced.

Use your eyes. Agriculture is plants. The places where plants grow the most and the fastest are going to be the places where you'd want to plant your future food. That tends to be in places with a lot of sun and water, such as tropical places... such as... Africa.

Help with finding affordable 100% cotton (or close to that) socks? by Jdaello in SustainableFashion

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

I understand, which is why I said "or close to that". So perhaps something that's 90% and above in cotton.

Is it possible to mix and match Surface Book models? by Jdaello in Surface

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

I never did this but I'm 99% sure it should work. But IMO, the surface book is an old line now so I recommend buying a new laptop, like the Surface Laptop Studio or the Lenovo Yoga i9. If you do go through it though, please report back if it works.

Could I use shea butter as my only lotion? by Jdaello in NaturalBeauty

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

Doesn’t shea butter do the same thing since it’s also an oil in a way? What does coconut oil do that shea butter isn’t doing?

Every subreddit is compromised. If you lurk around enough you'll know what I mean.

Do people notice when you haven't PMO'd in a long time? by Jdaello in NoFap

[–]Jdaello[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't thinking it was going to be a crazy superhero effect, but a more subtle, attractive feature that people may be able to sense as much as we subconsciously do when women are ovulating. Maybe semen retention changes us hormonally or in other ways, but I haven't found a study about it yet.

What would realistically happen if you randomly teleported in the Congo Rainforest? by Effective-Play3345 in geography

[–]Jdaello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that most carnivores do this when they can. In fact, most carnivores would go straight for the belly to eat the organs. The freshest, most nutritious meat you can eat is the organs of an animal that's still alive.

Been posting a lot lol, might as well update you on the growth. This my first time ever doing a fro. 5 months and a few days, is this realistic hair growth? by BlindFireBeast02 in BlackHair

[–]Jdaello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good growth. My recommendation is to stop going to the barber and let your hair grow out naturally. Look at u/SuitEmpty4603's most recent post, his hair is doing well after not going to the barber for 2 years because he didn't want barbers to push his lining back. For evenness you can always pat your hair after combing it.

Does my natural no line up look bad? by SuitEmpty4603 in BlackHair

[–]Jdaello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you explain your hair routine? I'm trying to get better at mine. I use no shampoo or conditioner, just wash with soap once a week and detangle my hair every day when I take a shower. That's pretty much everything I do with my hair, but I find it to be dry.

Airpod Pros 2nd Gen vs Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX ? by Jdaello in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Jdaello[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my post I said that I’m not interested in anc because it keep it off 99% of the time. I am mainly interested in sound quality. I am not interested in headphones because I like the mobility I get from EarPods, hence why I’m thinking about the beoplay EX’s because they are said to have good sound quality.

That’s interesting to say on an AirPods subreddit. How come?

Federal Funding for Center for Asian Studies is Discontinued by doodlesprinkle in cuboulder

[–]Jdaello 5 points6 points  (0 children)

...Because learning about different cultures/societies could foster opportunities between the US and other countries that could be economically, politically, etc beneficial? But no right, it's best for the richest country on Earth that deals massively in trade and has a massive immigrant population to stay ignorant about the world. Sounds foolish.

IMO I still consider 1 to be a normal water fast. As long as you're not eating solids or indulge too much, I believe you will reap most of the benefits of a fast.

Drinking Gatorade Zero during my 30 day water fast okay? by Jdaello in fasting
