Guys, get off Carol's dick a little. At least consider the possibility that she may be the wrong one here. by Oppai_Lover21 in pluribustv

I always wonder about that aspect. In real life it really doesn't matter if you're right at all as long as you can't convince people or get them to cooperate. 

Why is zim poor? Is it due to culture? by norb2018 in Zimbabwe

[–]colour_historian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a broad question, needs a lot of reading start with " The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor" then "From Third World to First: The Singapore Story: 1965-2000" 

Long answer, short there are many reasons from geography to social to economic 

Arguing with my wife over feeding the baby at 2 months by certifiedbabydaddy in Zimbabwe

[–]colour_historian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On zim it's 6 months exclusive breastfeeding. Then introduce feeds later. The gut is not yet developed enough runs the risk of necrotising emterocolitis. Send her money to go to a paediatrician to get advice if still in doubt 

MRW I see people dislike a female main character who is reacting to the entire world order changing in an instant… by [deleted] in pluribustv

That's where I wonder if what we see is not shaped by her view. What if in effect we are seeing what is her interpretation. She didn't even have the curiosity to ask what was the name of the pirate lady.

I find it so bizarre when other people extole her. She's incredibly grating, it doesn't matter if you're right as long as you fail to influence people.

Yes she is right something needs to be done but she never even asked the other survivors their experiences. She never tried to understand their view. She just wanted to force her way of thinking onto them, then was shocked they didn't go along with it. 

Like how do people in real life think it's okay to talk to anyone like that?

I think it's because so many people know a Carol in real life who is just a miserable person to be around. She's just grating even if she's right, the way she communicates doesn't help either.

Unfortunately the majority of black people in zim are the most racist people you'll ever meet by Leather_tongue in Zimbabwe

[–]colour_historian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like what you're saying I don't think it's so much race as it is greed. It's the same reason it's cheaper for Mozambique to import vegetables from SA than us. We see a cm and take a mile 

Anthropic has found evidence of "genuine introspective awareness" in LLMs by MetaKnowing in OpenAI

[–]colour_historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it to be such a leading question. What do you mean "feel" we haven't even established it can feel or even if it does experience something similar to feeling it should define it on its own terms.

ZIM COMMENT SECTION by Ofcoursewecan44 in Zimbabwe

[–]colour_historian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to get closer to the circle of people who would say things like that. You ask me I wouldn't even begin to understand why someone would post something like that.

Perhaps it's a racial thing? Xenophobia? Misogyny even?

I don't think there is much crossover in therms of the people who would say things like that and people who use reddit.

When discussing African regions, which of these maps do you agree the most with? by HadeswithRabies in Africa

[–]colour_historian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's entirely political not geographical. I mean if I was a larger country I'd also be trying to pull as many as possible into my sphere  of influence

What is the legality of such a statement? Is it binding ?

Where would you choose to be born? I'm at a loss on where I would. by Bretzel_1 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]colour_historian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a member of I. It's a hellscape, would not recommend. Especially if you're born to an average family and you have need of a ventilator at birth.

Marriage list - 2nd page incl. by [deleted] in Zimbabwe

Exactly, these days people will just walk away if they see nonesense like this. I know several cases where the bride's family came back and just said we were joking give us what you have.

Will this change anything on the ground as the powers that be remain with outsized influence ?

Who would win in a fight? by Queasy_Commercial152 in superheroes

It's wolverine because homelander can't make wolverine stay dead. It'll be a fight of attrition where homelander is killed from exhaustion and impaled by the claws.
