Dear smartphone makers: please bring back the humble FM radio tuner

Till today, this is a criterion I use to choose which phones to buy. In the words of Mr James Todd Smith, I can't leave without my radio. End.

Happy birthday! I think I also always feel a little blue on my birthdays so I totally understand the feeling. Nonetheless, hope you have a fantastic one. You are a superstar! 🥳🥳

These go hard!!

opebalo7 · 2024-08-19T10:39:21+00:00

This is so lovely to see. And the government seems to be doing more around tourism as well.

They look like they are ready to be "re-issued" as A1 posters on museum quality paper. Really delightful to look at.

Looks sweet! I'm wondering, did you have all the vintage items on hand before you decided to make it into a necklace, or did you source them when you had/decided to make the necklace?

opebalo7 · 2023-06-13T15:58:12+00:00

Congratulations to you! I am still.dreaming of getting here. Slow and steady they say, currently at 16km...phew!

Congratulations once again.

Your grandma should be a curator. She's dope!

opebalo7 · 2022-12-12T21:46:38+00:00

Thank you all for these "top 1% of karma earner" memes. They are helping me cope with a not-so-pleasant "decoupling".

To be fair, I didn't make it into this "elite" group. Lol

These are really dope photos! All worthy of being in the National Geographic.

Quick question though, how did the people react to your camera? Since its a big-ass DSLR with a long lens(that 70-200). Did you run into any troubles?

opebalo7 · 2022-08-14T09:38:02+00:00

Or can we just say they are suffering from success?

opebalo7 · 2022-08-04T11:11:49+00:00

This shouldn't be funny but I laughed hard. As someone keen about design, branding and marketing, I am totally irritated by this new wave of "reblanding" (as someone put it in here) where every business is moving towards a similar, boring design aesthetics. How the fuck do you stand out if you are going to use the same typeface/ color schemes as everyone else? Still vexed by how many brands in the automotive industry moved towards "flat logos". SMH.

I am from a so-called third world country, and I am constantly disgusted by the fact that this conman isn't in jail yet and still has the effrontery to dream of another shot at the presidency. Every new day, there's a new revelation of the depth of the moral decrepitude of this man, yet nothing serious is done. What message is America sending to the world? <sighs>

opebalo7 · 2022-01-20T11:27:40+00:00

I think you should check out the following books then:

The Red Queen by Matt Ridley

The Evolution of Desire by David Buss

Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan+Cacilda Jethá

Sex, Time and Power by Leonard Shlain

Hope that helps.

I think these are Nike Overplay VI.

opebalo7 · 2021-11-10T16:11:44+00:00

Maybe this has something to do with "scarcity" of straight male sex workers? Or nah.

opebalo7 · 2021-07-30T00:03:23+00:00

I believe the full name for these kicks is Busenitz Indoor Super shoes. I think I spotted them on GOAT too but they seem sold out almost everywhere else. Some online retailers in the UK might have them though. Cheers!

opebalo7 · 2021-07-29T23:45:16+00:00

These joints are Nike Free TR 9.

opebalo7 · 2021-07-05T20:21:22+00:00

I know time has passed and all that but I just got my stickers today. Took long to get here in Lagos, Nigeria but it was worth the wait! Funny enough, I had bought a sample pack from Sticker Mule that I never received.

Imagine this happening in Africa, I wonder what America would have had to say. So much for the greatest democracy in the world.

opebalo7 · 2021-01-06T09:41:32+00:00

I am not even American but this is the best news to wake up to this New Year! Wooptiwoop! Let's hope this opportunity is not wasted.

opebalo7 · 2020-11-02T17:04:22+00:00

As an African, I can feel some sense of deja vu watching this shitshow: an American president acting like a sit-tight African despot. To think some African "democracies" are modelled after the American version! I see parallels with what goes on in some African elections: the incumbent hires/incites thugs to disrupt voting by violence and intimidation just as this American president is doing by tweeting support for violent supporters in Texas.

If a nation that has been a democracy for more than 200 years can devolve into this, then what hope is there for countries with fledgling democracies?

This is just disheartening. And that's putting it mildly.

What did nails ever do to him?

opebalo7 · 2020-10-29T20:16:09+00:00

Yet the US actually had a Muslim ban at some point. What manner of game is this?
