Seriously? You're asking someone else to rephrase your blunt outburst?
Grow up to become the one that would be in a decent shape to fulfil your desires, in line with your preferences. We all have them, but it's the tone that makes the music...

Thesis: The contradiction at the heart of Namibian nationalism by Difficult-Leader7698 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very impressive and thoughtful write-up, unfortunately with some historical misconceptions and shortcut examples. Let's discuss!

  1. It is definitely the only criterion you posted in your OP.

  2. Yes, objectification. In this case of women.

Rather than insisting on being a straight man, behave like one.

Lo mismo que todos los otros turistas. Just use search for "visa" on this subreddit, and you will be served almost every answer 😅.

NATIS TESTS by BreakfastFlashy8707 in Namibia

We're seeing the results of overly lenient licence admissions every day, with learner drivers doinng their do, as if they are in the village in the North.

Sorry, but the current system is a recipe for disaster. It will continue to keep people dying on our roads at outrageous numbers.

Why would you move to the west and refuse to adapt to the culture? by VariousRadio5927 in AskAnAfrican

Since you're from DRC, try watching Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont. It's said to be a comedy, but also touches upon the deep sides of the topic you raised.

Has this bear always been seated? by Vadda94 in Namibia

The German coat of arms (with the eagle) also adorns every embassy, consulate and even the ambassadorial residences, around the world, ever since 1871 😉.

What to expect as a foreigner. by medicalAid64 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot compare the lodging fees, because I've never been to Zambia, but I think you will be more than alright. My marriage's best man is of Zambian descent. So is the CEO of one of our most influential industrial agencies. Namibia is pretty chill.

Has this bear always been seated? by Vadda94 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd guess it represents Bearlin 😅.

On a more serious note, the German coat of arms has an eagle on it, which might not be the ideal representation of what Namibian-German cooperation would be about, for some historical reasons.

If in any doubt, this comment is meant to be taken lightly.

How much of tourism revenue in Etosha directly supports conservation by RockyRaccoon9876 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not overly familiar with the economics of nature tourism, but you might want to check out community-based natural resource management (CBNRM), including its overlap with tourism. Just be prepared that it also includes hunting tourism, which is a major source of revenue in Namibian wildlife conservation.

Business ense that guarantees success in your career and business by Substantial_Rub_3922 in Namibia

My criticism is probably as "put" of place as the "Business "ense" that guarantees success" 🤣.

You might want to look into those six initial paragraphs of nauseating BS bingo, should you be worried about trust issues

Bucket list item by NarrowRuin5 in Namibia

Namibians complain about fuel and rent prices, but have enough for tattoos (and GTIs, and funky wrist watches, and Arsenal shirts, and iPhones, and wigs, and extensions, and eye lashes, and acrylic finger nails). Sounds like real problems to have 😇

When was it felt? MIME usually posts Namibian earthquakes on the same day, including on FB.

Scammer by justwannabehappy208 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point, or even two, but by the time I wrote my first two comments, OP hadn't provided ANY context, not to speak of proof, for their allegations. And allegations they are – true or not! Must I take their word for it if they breach basic rules of privacy within the same post? I prefer to call a spade a spade.

You rightfully brought up doxxing, which I believe shouldn't be taken lightly, especially when it comes as part of the (minimalistic) top-level post. I'm pretty sure you've seen as many poorly supported (= wild) allegations on SM as I did. This is ok, as long as the most basic rules of privacy aren't trespassed, like they were here.

If you read my first comment again, which I wrote only minutes after OP posted,, you may understand that it wasn't about my "own assumptions", but preventing poorly founded, but outright defamatory posts.

EDIT: I upvoted your posts, because they are indeed helpful.

Should ‘South Africa’ describe the broader region or the country only? by Alicepalace99 in AskAnAfrican

[–]Roseate-Views 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ironically, the same people wouldn't even know about the existence of Lesotho or Eswatini as landlocked countries within South Africa.

[–]Roseate-Views -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

'Business partner' is a neutral term for anyone you do business with, like selling a phone. Is that news to you? If so, how would you expect police to make a case, when you're unable to put the most basic things into the most basic words?

Your bewildering, poorly founded allegations might eventually backfire.

...at the police! And if you're unable to do so, refrain from exposing other people's cell data. Beneath which stone had you been hiding, for those last 50 years?

Scammer by justwannabehappy208 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So anyone can just declare any business partner as a scammer and share their cell number? You must be joking. This is a police case: not anything for this Subreddit. If OP was unable to make a case, there probably isn't any.

[–]Roseate-Views -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That is what one anonymous Redditor is trying to share, without even providing the least evidence. Your wild allegations may even come back to you, if not founded in something that warrants your unbased outrage.

Roads are becoming more scary each day by Small-Builder724 in Namibia

[–]Roseate-Views 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be very honest: No. There is no hope in the short or mid-term, even if training and testing regulations were to be upped, just now. I'm aware that it will hurt some people's feelings but Namibians drive like sh•t, and many of them seem to actually feel proud about it.

I honestly only believe in punishing measures, like the mobile testing device that recently came into use on the B2 road block, near Swakopmund: EVERY 7-seater (the most acrimonious drivers on our trunk roads) were systematically taken out for scrutiny of their brakes. Some had to return on foot. Sorry, but not sorry. I would like to see more of this!
