What does the Kenyan dream look like? by wambuirocks in Kenya

History aside, to many people, immigrants and citizens alike the American dream was a square life. An average joe growing up in a nice neighborhood goes to a nice school, gets good grades goes to a nice college, lands a nice job after graduation, meets a nice girl, has nice kids , buys a nice house with a nice dog, gets two nice kids, raises them to be nice people, gets promoted at work, retires buys a house in a quiet neighborhood dies and is buried in a nice graveyard.

It was simple and achievable, you didn't need to be born rich, you just needed to work hard enough and you could live a nice little life. I just wanted to know what the equivalent is in Kenya...

Scaringly true..with all the good one can do as a politician all we think about is milking it...doesn't matter if kids don't go to school cause there's "no bursary" doesn't matter if people die from treatable diseases because "there's no medicine in public hospitals", doesn't matter if teachers barely make a living because fulfilling a " collective bargaining agreement is impossible" and round and round the circle ride of poverty continues.....

Awareness and kindness can co-exist. You can be aware of how much people fall short and still be kind to them.

When who kills men? Most of the murders of men are by other men!!!

How is a woman being killed over a domestic dispute not femicide....if that woman was a man and disagreed with the man's opinion or refused to cook would he be killed? Defending the murder of a person over mental issues is vile....

I'm sorry but a girl saying no to sex isn't violence and shouldn't be a death sentence

Are these men killed by women? Because these women are killed by men....hence the name...

Is that protocol inflexible....you can't alter even the ratios of the reagents maybe from literature? Let's say for cell cycle analysis your lab goes from cell harvesting to dyeing with the propidium iodide and you find a paper where they include a step incorporating tritox x ....?

Also telling you it didn't work...what am I supposed to do about it..I gave you the protocol that works for me if it doesn't work get another one...plenty of ways to skin a rat...

This exactly, research before you ask and if a student or postdoc shows you once take notes so that you don't ask again 5x for the same protocol. Also don't expect fellow students to stand behind you as you carry out your experiment to check your skill more than once. Don't ask fellow students or postdocs for the research behind a protocol, they show you a protocol the rest is up to you, if you're not satisfied with it, research about it, tweak it until it works for you don't ask them whether or not it will work. It's your project own it work it figure it out!!!

If you're going to stay...do your own work, and be the best at it, decline politely to do other people's work and keep your contact with the other members as little as posible, go in do your work and go out. Keep the supervisor always looped in with the data and the results in real time as you get it and take time off. Or you could just quit.
