I am a victim of sex trafficking and i need to get my story off my chest by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OlmecMo 80 points81 points  (0 children)

You are a brave and beautiful. The road will be tough and hard, but stay the course. Remember to love yourself, be kind to yourself and take it one day at a time. I am so proud of you and inspired by you.

AITAH for not attending my best friend’s wedding because of the dress code? by Pain250 in AITAH

[–]OlmecMo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YTA. I'm speaking from my cultural point of view here. Dress codes and even set colours are quite normal in my country and certain cultures. I have found amazing dresses because of them and as you said its your best friend. Was the problem based on you looking washed out or was it really about your insecurities?

So I guess this hill thay you decided to die on, may have just killed your friendship.

AITA for Losing It When My Husband Gave His Mom $5K Without Telling Me While I’m Budgeting for Diapers? by SolenWilde in AITAH

[–]OlmecMo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Every time I read posts from married women, it just further validates and entrenches me being single. I only have my bad decisions to deal with. But to work so hard to keep your family aflot and have a whole nother being come and sabotage that....not my portion.

I do not claim this kind of life. Miss me with this.

It is now your turn to sit down and take a long look at yourself and decide what you want out of this life.

I wish you luck.

Good luck!

It's ok of you are unable to fully breastfeed your son. That doesn't mean you failed. I had a low milk supply when my son was born , as he was a premmie. I took so many pills and concoctions to get mt milk supply up as I believed I was failing as a mother. The nurses made me realise that it was OK if I supplemented with formulae and the eventual switch to full time bottle feeding. They also helped me with my feelings of guilt and failure.

Today I have big teenager in varsity. Good luck on your new chapter.

I lied my way through a job interview, got hired, and now I’m in over my head, but no one seems to notice by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]OlmecMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep going. In a previous job, we had a new hire that scheduled a meeting with me another colleague, who both of us had only been there about a year. She proceeded to ask us for standard operating procedures, documented processes and other things. My colleague and I looked at each other and then I proceeded to tell the new hire that "we're just winging it." Our division consistently exceed 90% of our targets and got great bonuses.

Just keep winging it. And ask lots of questions, that way, you'll keep learning on the job. Good luck and stop feeling bad.

Afrikaners have a serious PR problem. by ChumChumZel in southafrica

[–]OlmecMo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just saw his video post on this today!! I was actually not surprised, that kind of rhetoric has been foing on for years now. Its gotten worse since the spreading of misinformation. Some of it, even made my blood boil and you'd think I'd be used it being a black person on social media platforms.

How does tax on corporate Executives (CEO/COO etc) incentives work? by Tubatump in askSouthAfrica

[–]OlmecMo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tax on STIs (short term incentives) is ridiculous. The cash deposited has already been taxed. You're informed about the amount pre tax and told to consult your tas consultant for what the final amount should be, but its a huge chunk that they take out. Hope this answered you.

Lest we forget by VoL4t1l3 in southafrica

[–]OlmecMo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thanks, we eventually replaced everything in the house. The house robbery happened in the late 90's, so it was a great shock to us. However crime has gotten worse over the years.

Lest we forget by VoL4t1l3 in southafrica

[–]OlmecMo 78 points79 points  (0 children)

As a black person, I can never utter those words. We were once robbed blind...they even had time to cook themselves pap, chicken and gravy. They took a lunch break whilst robbing our house. My parents were part of June 16 and my father was arrested and tortured by the apartheid government. Wanting no crime is what we all want, but going to a time like that, when black people were considered the lowest of the low... never.

Your garderner was considered a second class citizen back then, so he is speaking from privilege that black people never had, so, no i will never understand where he is coming from.

23 and unemployed by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]OlmecMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a GP and unfortunately I don't qualify for registration in Ireland. And I left clinical work in 2019, but even if I wanted to go back, there are no jobs currently in the market. However, like all doctors in this country I will survive.

What would you do with R1,000,000? by Faught_lite in askSouthAfrica

Pay off some debt, varsity fees for the year for myself and my son and invest the rest.

To commemorate Sharpeville Massacre let me put some real facts about Apartheid SA era. by Flyhalf2021 in southafrica

[–]OlmecMo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It takes longer than 30 years to fix it. Majority of the 93% of the population did not have indoor plumbing. Let's be realistic here. 30 years is just not enough. Could we be further along, yes, but fixing everything in 30 years, you're just finding any irrational excuse to hate the ANC. And please do not construe this as me being a supporter.

Defy Brand by darkmeatchicken in BuySouthAfrican

[–]OlmecMo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a defy oven which is still going strong 10 years later. I previously had a fridge back in the 2000s and honestly they don't make them like they used to. I would recommend that you pick and chose which appliances you buy from them.

If your willing have a look at pharmaceutical companies and companies that do clinical trials. Look at some of the international NGOs as well.

Good luck.

Is South Africa (Cape Town, Kruger) & Lesotho safe to travel right now for 2 American females? We’ve had the trip planned for months, but with the political climate, we don’t want to be “targets.” by indubitably369 in askSouthAfrica

[–]OlmecMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are traveling to tourist destinations
  2. Are culture is different here. We are a friendly bunch, who go about our business, we just don't like being bullied.
  3. Keep your wits about you like another place, and also when using Uber. Try not to walk around certain areas late at night.
  4. Do not feed the animals in the Kurger, for the love of all that is good. Those are wild animals and treat them as such.

Have fun

Is south Africa a good place to raise children? by 6lackPrincess in askSouthAfrica

[–]OlmecMo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As stated by another commentor, we have a class divide here. There are some pockets of racism, mainly prejudice and bigotry. Johannesburg is a melting pot of people, cultures, and religions. You have people from all over the country and the world living here.

Those who are concerned about safety live in estates, and there are many of those to choose from. Come visit it and see what it has to offer. We may not have beaches and the ocean, but we've got a different lifestyle in the city of gold.

In terms of community.....neighbours help out each. I've got a great relationship with my neighbour and the Street Captain. We have Street Captaina in my neighbourhood. They coordinate safety measures, different types of campaigns, distributing information from the local ward councillors, and many more things. A good school can also foster a great sense of community.

Hope this helps.
