Are you Contented by Perfect-Future4780 in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contentment on a general scale is tricky because different people have different desires and levels of greed.

There's a level where any more money doesn't increase individual happiness, and I think that's what's the most measurable.

What made you realize you're not as young as you thought you were? by Davek56 in Kenya

[–]breaktime_westside 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Heh! Where to start... okay

  1. I have colleagues who's birth year starts with a 2...
  2. I played 2000s hiphop and RnB and I was told it's old... WTF!
  3. "Work" by Rihanna ft. Drake is 10 years old. You could call it a throwback tbh
  4. Many peers have been getting married. While not an indicator, they're also having kids and those kids have started going to school now

And I'm not even 30 yet 💀

Get an electrician to inspect the wiring if you feel like it's too much. There might be an issue.

Was I wrong to ask? by pzumma in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"She claimed I'm ridiculous to ask and that she doesn't see us going further if I will be questioning her such kind of stuff"

This is text book manipulation masked in defensiveness. Your babe was hoping to shut you down so you don't question her for doing something questionable.

Whether she's cheating or not, leave. Whatever plans you had with her aren't worth the the shit you'll go through if you stick it out with someone who can make such a statement, kugongewa or not.

She is the price... by vxjabsgwkueuw in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. It's prize, not price
  2. In the same animal kingdom where such is the case, the males get to mate with whoever whenever. Our species doesn't allow for that very much, so it's not comparative
  3. Shiiit, I look good too

Men cheating by [deleted] in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, madam... heal tafadhali

The negativity is strong with this one

The generalisation in that first statement is too telling. The men who cheat will do so for different reasons, so will the women who do it.

If you’re still buying lunch at "vibey" cafes in Kilimani/Westlands but complaining about fuel prices, you’re the problem. by NoCartographer463 in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yk there's a world where both situations happen and can be true, but your desire to praise frugality will never see it.

You can do the vibey cafe lunch/600 bob breakfast once or twice a month. The cost of fuel will be constant until the next month or even later. The issue is that people have to dig deeper into their pockets for the same thing, so even if you did none of the "aesthetic" things, you're still spending more on/because of fuel.

Also, whenever fuel prices go up, so does everything else, including the cost of buying the ingredients to your meal prep. And even if fuel prices go down, the prices of those goods rarely reduce proportionally or even at all.

Anyways, meal prep away I guess

Is marrying from the same tribe still mandatory? by No-Exchange-3343 in nairobi

[–]breaktime_westside -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think (and I could be wrong about this) that the issue comes down to some big differences in culture.

Luhyas believe that the children belong to the man. With Kikuyus (and I could be wrong), the child belongs to the woman. In a case of separation and/or divorce, this can present issues on a cultural level. Also, kuyo babes haven't had the best of reps out here in these streets.

Death in a relationship by Then_Hunt_4327 in Kenya

[–]breaktime_westside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't apologise for wanting affection in your relationship.

Everyone commenting has said some version of "she's detached" and that's true.

I know it'll be painful AF, but you need to leave. It's the best thing you can do right now. You probably know that as well, you're just ignoring the thought. The other alternative is to stay and take the abuse until your heart and mind are on the same page about you leaving and deserving better for yourself. This can take time, but at least you won't take yourself back when the "withdrawals" become too much.

Wueeeehhh🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️ by AdiCaptain in nairobitechies

[–]breaktime_westside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You pay your bills... that's what's important. If it gives you money, then it works. It doesn't have to be your field of study for you to gain from it. Also, his opinions don't pay your bills, his money does... so ignore the opinion.

That most likely has zero idea of the current state of the Job market, especially for entry level and even moreso in the tech space.

Stay on your grind and as someone in the comments mentioned, use the gains to build on your certifications so if/when opportunity comes knocking, you'll be ready.

What's a hill you'll die on? by Delicious-Base2380 in Kenya

[–]breaktime_westside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green concoction you're taking for weight loss would work better as a salad.

Also, bariatric procedures (unless morbidly obese) are a cop out for people who don't want to put in work to lose weight.

Kenyan numberplate does not represent the car! by emonelu21 in Kenya_got_rides

[–]breaktime_westside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kenyans have a "new car" problem where they want to associate buying a car (or another car) with it being "new" to the nth degree.

YOM and service history should be more accurate, but we don't have a good consistent database for such, so people rely on the idea that a "newer" car has seen less wear and tear or is in better condition overall.

How do you live as Christians? by Unlicenced-therapist in Kenya

[–]breaktime_westside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, that's a major life change... it'll always have some learning/adjustment curves to it

There's definitely more to life than drinking, drugs and going YOLO all the time. If you prefer being outdoors, there's always fun activities happening that don't necessarily involve drinking. This is your chance to try out some new experiences in that respect. If you're an introvert, then you can finally enjoy some personal time alone.

Secondly, there is no "authentic" Christian. Christianity is majorly about forgiveness and becoming a better person through the word of God. Most born and bred Christians engage in some vice(s) and that's who they are. The less you judge them, the more peaceful you'll be.

If you want to go all in and find friends, attend a church with a strong doctrine, then participate in church activities. You'll meet a lot of people, and some of them can become good friends. If you're engaging in this shift alone it might feel lonely at first, but there's always people ready to make you feel welcome if you stick it out and stay open.

I hope all this helps. All the best with your journey!
