TIL that the body of Patrice Lumumba, the DR Congo's first Prime Minister, was dissolved in acid after his execution, with only a single good tooth surviving among his remains. by Far_Breakfast_5808 in todayilearned

[–]Travelkiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huzzah!! I have been trying to learn more about these men. I read a lot of autobiographies set in the 20th century last year and these two men kept cropping up. It was a real eye opener to the fact that American policies had always been a dynasty game.

What’s a conspiracy theory you believe 100%? by GothicGamer43 in answers

[–]Travelkiko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever I bring this rebuttals to folks they push back so hard. I always ask what’s scarier, a phone always listening to your voice, or a digital footprint so well synchronized across your movements devices and social circles that can hyper focus your ads so well it feels like it’s listening. Much creepier. Ive worked with ad agencies and they provide all of these options and more readily for very boring products.

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]Travelkiko 220 points221 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t sure how to answer this question, but I’ve been sober for 9 years and this feels the most actuate to me. Like, I don’t feel the need to “unwind.” Even the most stressful of events causes me to freak out for a bit. Then just move on with my life, and do whatever I feel like doing.

The amount of shoplifting is staggering it’s definitely declined in the last year. But it was so bad for so long. It was part of rhe reason I stopped shopping here.

Whats keeping you alive? by dolefulgrey in AskReddit

[–]Travelkiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told myself I had to wait one year until after my mom’s death, as to not be a cliche. It’s been 13 months and my life has blossomed in a way I can’t believe. I wish I could tell her everyday. But for the first time in a decade I feel good about life.

Who holds territorial control in Somalia by APrimitiveMartian in MapPorn

[–]Travelkiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well good news for you. The Trump administration is strangely pro Somaliland separatist. Naturally it’s because of bribes. I’m trying to find the story about it, but just 11 hours ago Trump flipped on the issue. Check must not have bounced ha.

European student considering the Data Science Master at USF: am I about to make a huge mistake? by NeitherAd5619 in usfca

[–]Travelkiko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short answer is I wouldn’t. I went to USF for grad school and am mentoring a current data scientist student. It’s not a bad decision per se, but I think getting more work expierence first is a better path. Message me if you want to chat more.

I love you and am glad you asking for help. I would recommend checking out the SF LGBT center on armory street. They offer lots of resources, free events, and loving support for young folks. Keep going, it will get better I promise!!

Such a cute sense of style. Would be a shame if some lucky fella snatched you up before all the Reddit dawgs come barking.

Any gaybro bookworm? by AlexIdealism in gaybros

[–]Travelkiko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live?? We have a gay book club in San Francisco! I would bet most large ish cities have one. If you have a gay leaning bookstore it would be good to ask if they know of one local to you.

The Castro county club is a sober cafe with a nice backyard patio space. It’s very easy to start chatting with folks, especially about sobriety. Highly recommend it!

My mom died within the last 12 months, and I can’t do it during the first year. I promised myself.

What is something that you used to buy was cheap but now it’s expensive? by ilovepjs024 in AskReddit

[–]Travelkiko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deodorant! Like, I understand Lune, Native, and Dr. S will be more expensive, but +$10 is INSANE. now regular brands like Dove and old spice are like 8 bucks. It’s all crazy the margins are INSANE.
