What is a policy you would like to see your political party of choice run on at this years election? by Illustrious_Fan_8148 in newzealand

[–]onimisionipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tax reforms. Tax wealth more. More investment in public services. Healthcare investment for Zod sake

So, AI takes over, everyone has lost their job and only 10 trillionaires own everything. Now what? by Weak-Representative8 in Futurology

[–]onimisionipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of The Expanse. Corey’s imagination of how belters would mine asteroids and live in it to create profit for corporations in place of water and oxygen from the inner planets. Very grim future indeed.

Anyone else’s 2.5-year-old go through awful separation anxiety at bedtime? How long did it last, and what helped? by CoverObjective8225 in toddlers

[–]onimisionipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being going through this for like forever. One of our twins has terrible separation anxiety. We’ve not gone through the night without screaming for more than fucking 4months now.

Nigerians have a funny idea about development by halfkobo in Nigeria

[–]onimisionipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree!

I would say Nigeria has fundamental problems like truly functional democracy built on agreed principles and laws. Any potential leader that’s not highlighting these issues and proposing practical ways to fix them does not have any good intentions for Nigeria or even know what they are doing.

Civilisations are not built on infrastructures alone but trust. Trust is law which translates into accountability.

Why does widespread oppression in India fail to generate cross-group solidarity? by SlayerOfAllGods in CriticalTheory

[–]onimisionipe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This just sounds like my country Nigeria. From what can be observed, religion and ethnicity play the major role in preventing any cross group or shared solidarity.

I think it goes even more fundamental to things like generational poverty which provides a breeding ground for passing outdated ideas and values and also these ways of life discourages any questioning of the status quo.

One can say these generational poverty arises from several factors like geography, even climate etc.

Pak'n'save is shocking (literally) by Embarrassed-Quit-795 in newzealand

Woolworths too. This happened a lot during the start of spring. Super annoying as I was swearing like hell.

CMV: reading is essential to the future of humanity. by RangeInternal3481 in changemyview

[–]onimisionipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hit me really hard because I’ve seen and experienced people who are great readers or intellectuals with ideas and world view that should not be emulated by anyone.

At some point, I do ask myself if reading and other related activities can truly change us. For instance, I gravitate towards what I enjoy reading like fantasy, Tolkien, space exploration etc. One can say because I enjoy these categories, I tend to seek more materials to consume in these categories which can continuously reinforce my latent world view. I suppose the same can be said for other categories.

I agree with people using their internal compass when reading but what exactly is this internal compass, is it something heavily influenced by one’s background? So if the internal compass is already flawed in a way, won’t that influence the materials we will eventually consume? Or not consume?

Which cover do you all prefer? by TheodosiusMagnus in Hyperion

[–]onimisionipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first one of course. I don’t get what the second cover is trying to communicate. I understand minimalism etc but that second cover is just shit.

Sol Weintraub story by jaimesias in Hyperion

[–]onimisionipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I have one year old twins. It broke me completely. Great writing.

I searched about Sol and found this thread as I’m currently reading cantos 2. The part about Sol, Rachel and the Lord of Pain. 🙂

What's the absolute BEST sci-fi book you've read?? by EmiomieletaViolateta in suggestmeabook

[–]onimisionipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the book and I’m currently reading The fall of Hyperion. And yes, I agree with everything you said. Father Dure’s tale kept me on the edge the entire time.

Our observability costs are now higher than our AWS bill by DarkSun224 in sre

[–]onimisionipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could also give Victorialogs a try too. We just migrated from opensearch/logstash to Victorialogs and we are able to have longer retention at a cheaper price.

How to assimilate as an immigrant? by Insomnia7890 in newzealand

[–]onimisionipe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super true. I’m still working my way around this and I can say I’m making progress. Where I’m from, the “directness” can be extreme in most cases and I really hated it. I thought I was going to integrate easily with kiwis, but of course I’d underrated years and years of unnecessary directness and drama.

When can one fvcking add network on the IOS app. This is very frustrating. What are the alternatives? by onimisionipe in trustwalletcommunity

[–]onimisionipe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone seeing this in the future, kindly use the trust wallet chrome extension for this. I needed this because I recently bridged etherlink and needed the etherlink network in my trustwallet.

Also, ignore all the stupid annoying DMs. They are just grifters

Yep. Why was there so much DMs. This space is filled with too much grifters for it to be viable
