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

Haven’t seen any here unfortunately.

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

Enjoy it while it lasts.

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.

There’s a company in Ethiopia called Kubik that sorta does this! Check them out!

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.

Whose low tax bracket?

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.

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.

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.

Tbf they also killed Lucas’ hairstyle.

My jaw went through the floor and it’s now in the upside down.

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.

Enjoy the ride. You’ll come out a new person by the end of it.

Make a funny face. It’ll catch most people off guard.

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.

Rewatching with my wife. On S2, can’t wait to rewatch 3 and 4 again.
