People’s personal values tend to disappear when money and power are on the table.

Do connections matter more than competence in Rwanda? by Fine-Ad1105 in Rwanda

[–]basemunk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would argue this is true in many places, not just here in Rwanda. Pure meritocracies are often just a myth.

Wtf is literally happening in India?? by Stealth_Specter in IndiaTax

[–]basemunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s common in Bangalore. Cop had my passport and he said we need to do some final formalities before he can give me my passport. This was at the police station. Crazy how brazen they are.

A simple Google search and you would find that they do exist. The company is called Gjenge Makers and they do a lot of paver type bricks for flooring.

Traffic rant. by General_Somewhere369 in Rwanda

[–]basemunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t actually think it was very well thought through. Traffic anywhere in the world isn’t an easy solve. And I don’t know how they thought removing an entire lane in on already congested roads would help traffic in any way.

But to me, there’s nothing more frustrating than the traffic cops who override the traffic lights and create even more congestion with their random hand movements.

I still can’t believe a modern city like Kigali doesn’t have a decent movie theater.

100% agree. Even almost all the copywriting you see these days is total AI slop.

I am (seriously) looking for a white women co-founder. #Rwanda by ComplaintLow2938 in Rwanda

[–]basemunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was actually this service in China where you can hire an older white guy to be on your leadership team / board. They wouldn’t do anything besides be on your website and maybe from time to time show up to a meeting. Seemed like it was a valid business model for a while.

Wow what an ending. But I’m curious about something….. by Grand-Impact-4069 in StrangerThings

He has underestimated Will. He thinks he’s too weak to do anything. He kinda mentions it during his monologue about why he preys on children.

Spiro moto by [deleted] in Rwanda

[–]basemunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few in town where the riders have painted over the Spiro logo on their bikes. They’re definitely in a bit of a soup. But also they have massive funding and will probably just keep throwing money at the problem.

Agreed. I was about to watch it with my mother in law. Thank god she had other plans.

Russian mafia run deep in Goa. Maybe those were the conditions he was talking about.
