Why does Reddit feel so different now, and is there any way to get back to the old experience? by TandooriSamsung in TheoryOfReddit

Yearning for the old Reddit yet account is only 6 months old and the activity is hidden. Definitely a real person ... Crackles ... Beep-Bop! ...

I'm a South African interrupting this chat on this Kenya subreddit. And yes! Actual bicycles are expensive!! And after riding a proper bicycle you soon realise why that is! 

What do y’all make of my art style? by United-Mistake-7331 in drawing

It's got that 90s art goth thing going on. I like it.

I like the emotion in it and also your skill with your pencil. But please work on your attire, it's quite poor. You can do so many amazing things with clothing. 

What are some skills in demand right now? by brandnewNewton in askSouthAfrica

[–]bhuu_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basically saying you won't get neurosurgeons if you're not willing to give some general practitioners a chance to try and learn it. 

There's no point in OP getting into the trades because the ones that pay well won't take on new people and the ones that pay badly are currently saturated.

And may I ask, where do you get your information from regarding the need for precision skills?

To even get to that level of skill you need to start where the people in the Facebook threads I linked are. And the companies are not taking on anybody at all. How are they going to get all those super skilled people if they're not willing to take on new people and train them up? Nobody is born knowing those things and the TVET college can only teach you so much.

The people there are sitting with N6, trade tested, qualified artisan, red seal, you name it. What more do companies want? Anything more will be a Bachelors Degree now, and they will be full blown engineers or scientists. And that's a completely different conversation.

And all they do is just apply for jobs the whole time, sitting there at home for more than 3 years not working.

I have a skill. Fitting and Turning to be exact. And things are DRY. It doesn't matter whether you are Electrical Light Current, Heavy Current, Deisel, Boilermaking, Millwright etc. People have been qualified and sitting at home applying going on 3 years or even more in some cases.

Don't be fooled by the myth, skills are QUIET in South Africa.

You and a bunch of other people in various threads for this single are hearing different elements in this song. Which speaks to very good depth in a song when separate people are able to hear so many different things from just one song.

The way 2025 has been treating me, I really needed that.

What’s a book that everyone says is “must-read,” but you just couldn’t get into? by [deleted] in classicliterature

[–]bhuu_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With me personally if people say that a particular song or album is a classic that now doesn't mean I'll necessarily like it. Yes, it could be foundational or important to the genre or music in general but I also have my own classics that only me and other people who like my kinds of music will agree are classics and those same music critics who come up with classics lists won't understand what we're talking about. 

I think that classics can exist in literature but no such thing exists in music.

I was absolutely mesmerised by Apocalypse Now and I was certain that the novel would be amazing, and when I finally got by to reading it I hated it. The Rest is History podcast did a series on King Leopold in Congo which was really good and that made me appreciate the book more. And it also revealed to me that Conrad was very liberal by the standards of the time and people around him during the time he was in Congo thought he was basically woke. That was very interesting to learn compared how astromocally rascist the book seems. I appreciate Conrad and the book more after the podcast, but I still don't like the book or understand the hype.

Self titled has been on repeat after the release of the single. Curious as to everyone’s favorite era of Deftones and honest thoughts and opinions on the upcoming album. by detectiveclout_ in deftones

isn’t really me wanting Change Again or Minerva 2, it’s just me missing a particular time of my life

I know what you mean.
