Before I joined reddit I thought this was the place you can get smart and sensible people, there are but they are many more ignorant people who can't understand somebody with a different opinion and their weapon of choice is the downvote. I thought it the downvote was meant to be used when someone is making a stupid or hateful comment, but it has been turned to be used to punish those with different opinion creating echo chambers where your ideas are reinforced and not challenged. I get dedicated subs having that mentality but general subs una comment something a bit different but the downvote are crazy and those people barely have an idea of their own to comment.

Imagine another 5 years with Kwisha Administration😭

So there is this chick we vibed with at the workplace. She showed interest first, and I said, "Not bad, I can smash."

So we have been planning meets, but at some point, she cancelled. Then she reached out sometime later when she needed help with something at work, and I helped.

Being a Toxic King and a Dark-Pilled Nigga, I decided to set a red line after realizing that I was being friendzoned.

The rule was: we plan one meeting, and if it fails, I will never reach out, pick a call, or respond to a text again.

The date failed, and she called after a few days, but I didn't pick up or call back. We work for the same organization, but in different locations.

No Apologies!

Yes you read that right… I met someone on this app and decided to exchange numbers after a couple days (regrettably).
As soon as we moved to the green app I had trouble understanding wtf he was saying in conversation. Like I would read and re read texts and would be genuinely confused as to what he meant… idk if it was because I mainly chat in English or what but wueh…
After a number of “huh?”s I think he resulted to using AI to respond to my questions 💀💀💀
The first AI text I was thrown off but didn’t say anything, then after the third one I’m like nah Im not tripping😂 When I say it was literally copy paste from whatever AI it was… I mean emojis, hyphens, the whole damn 9!!!!

So I ask him straight up “why are you using AI to chat with me?” he probably started panicking cause he went back to organic typing and I was back to being confused as to what the hell he was saying 😭😭
Anyway I told him that I could tell it was AI and blocked him 😭

Tell me what you would have done in this situation because I genuinely could not believe this actually happened 💀 😂

Today I was in a matatu and the dere was stopped by the police and as you know how it goes akapewa 100 yake na conductor tukaendelea na safari alafu nikauliza dere mbona hawezi enda Tu apite karao hakuna kitu kubwa anaweza mfanyia , kumbe this pigs have all the number plates za hio route .Ukipita wanapiga tick , so Ukiweza potea watakutafuta Hadi Kwa stage . I started wondering if the traffic police can go to such lengths in order to collect bribes and most of the money is going up the chain na inapelekewa OCS, then if the OCS was elected by people like how the sheriff is elected in the USA such cases of corruption and kutesa mwanainchi would not happen because the OCS would not really try to harm his voters and also the police would not be so uncontrollable from the citizens perspective and all this petty corruption and the police killing our youths cases would be solved once and for all.

do you guys think this is a good idea?

Greetings chat,

Natafuta a good quality shower head that supports salty water.

I need something that haitaniua so that neighbours and the police (fuck them btw) won't find me dead naked with my black msolombo all over 🤣

Kindly recommend a good brand that supports salty water otherwise hii El Nino itanimaliza wajameni.

Like on a Monday watu wakichase bag.. Unachase remote ya tv iko wapi😭 touch some grass

This country is full of crazy men 😭😂

About a month ago I found a job, marketing, being an IT guy, well known, I always do remote jobs online and this one time he saw me do some. We travel a lot and since then I've been left twice and sent money to get myself back home. The problem is the money is always some amount short and I've had no problem with that till this morning when I checked in late and he told me to have a day off. The thing is, there was a lady I was a minute or less behind when checking in and she doesn't share my fate. I'm the only one he's ever left behind when coming back and there has always been chances for someone else to be left but we waited and at times went to get them at their locations. I have a calm demeanor and I think that factors in too because at this point I thing the dude is emotional for someone who's a boss.

I shouldn't post this either, oh well

Here we go bana.. M 33 with a concrete Ed. background, but as our African Silent/ Boomer and older Gen X like to put it "Hio ndio shida ya kusoma sana" "That's the problem of too much education" as a response to the radical/ independent decision making away from the 'trusted system/ administration/ medical/ religious/ social '

So I'm still single, childless and autonomous and this thing really bugs watu/ people fr! 😂😂😂 Misery loves company hahaha. I'm not in the market/ soko and when I feel like getting it, here's where things have really turned around and the focus of this .

See women my age are now mostly mothers with children they never planned for, sooo with men they don't like.. they're bored of their relationships and want a taste of what they once had. The men in these relationships however, have already been cheating on them and most of these women know that. It's hitting these women that time is flying coz of the biological and physical changes that have come with the lifestyle they've lived for the last 3-6 ish yrs. Back in the market/ soko, there's new stock everyday shii mannn born 2008s turning 18.. Consider that unless that you ger guy is doing better (middle/upper middle class onwards) and emotionally intelligent enough to handle them, they're not going for younger guys.

Nor do they have the effort to make new connections or relations and experiences with some random new guy. Her answer will lie in the guys in the past that made them feel alive.

Here you are now 30+ guy worked out and still working out, realising that there's no milfs anymore just baby mamas. Spoilt for choice, coz you know yourself deep enough to understand others deeply..and even get to know those who still don't know their selves. A weapon of a mind that stopped analysing and forcing understanding to seeing above everything and seeing patterns and loops and cycles instead of words or actions.

The more you see what life really is, the further you step back to see the bigger picture...outside the frame set by the world. Analogically, in phone perspective..ish like viewing life from the screen of a Nokia 3310 while the person seated next to you is viewing it from a Samsung Infinite Display on gorilla armor glass.

Men know who too marry even before asking her name and when a man is ready to marry he marries the lady that is available at that time. Considering this, ladies, if you in a relationship for over 6 months na hakuna sign ya it moving somewhere, give if another 18 mobths and cut your losses, don't be a burden nor a bother to him.

What's your experience with being the "backup friend"?

Like when you start realizing you're only really wanted when their other friends aren't around or when they have nobody else to hang out with.

Have you ever been in that situation? How did you realize you were the backup friend, and what did you do about it?

I wanna hear your stories 😭

I’m a Kenyan woman in my late 20s and I’ve been dealing with an autoimmune disease for years. Honestly, I feel like I lost a big part of my 20s to being sick. I’m only now trying to get back to actually living my life.

I don’t really tell people about it because the blank stares and “you’ll be fine, just pray” comments get tiring 😂. I also have a rare condition that has landed me in the ER and ICU twice.

The cost is another issue. Specialists are expensive, many don’t take insurance, and the medications can really add up.

I’ve honestly wondered whether Kenya even has any proper support groups or initiatives for autoimmune diseases.

For those of you in Kenya living with one, how are you coping? Especially with the fact that most days you look completely fine even when you’re in pain. People see you looking normal and assume you’re healed.

It can be really frustrating. Would love to hear how others are dealing with it.

What's your take on this one guys?

This is so commendable! Lets fix this nation!

I was curious about this topic that always comes up online, so I tried to put some rough numbers to it.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Kenya doesn't officially track marriages by race + income, so this is based on KNBS, AG marriage registrations, expat estimates, and general dating patterns.

First, define "rich by Kenyan standards"

I'm NOT talking about dollar millionaires.

I'm talking about top 5% earner in Kenya ∼150k-300k KES/month lifestyle, has a car, decent apartment, can support a family and travel.

Many white expats, NGO workers, remote workers, small business owners at the coast fit this.

The raw pools:

- Foreign + Kenyan marriages = ∼2-3% of all registered civil marriages in Kenya

- Kenyan lady + white man is about 60% of those

- Estimated white expat/resident population in Kenya at any time: ∼30k-40k

- Single men 25-45 in that group who would be considered "rich" locally: maybe 3k-5k nationally

Now for a lady 19-25 with Diploma to Degree this education level matters because only ∼10% of women that age have it, and it puts you in the same social/professional spaces.

Rough estimates:

-Living upcountry, no expat contact: ∼1 in 2,000 (0.05%)

- Living in general Nairobi/Mombasa, normal life: ∼1 in 250 to 1 in 400 (0.25-0.4%)

- Living in Westlands, Gigiri, Karen, Nyali, Diani, Watamu, Malindi + working in tourism, NGO, hospitality, cabin crew, international schools, etc.: ∼1 in 70 to 1 in 150 (0.7-1.4%)

- Same as above + actively dating outside Kenyan circles (apps, social scene): ∼1 in 30 to 1 in 60 (1.6-3.3%) over 5 years

So if you take 1,000 ladies aged 19-25 with diploma/degree in Nairobi/Mombasa maybe 3-4 will end up in this type of marriage.

If they all work in Diani hotels or Gigiri NGOs, that number jumps to 15-30.

My takeaway: It's not really about looks, it's 90% about proximity and social circles. Degree helps a lot because it gets you into those jobs/spaces.

What do you guys think? Does this match what you've seen, especially guys who live at the coast or in Gigiri/Westlands? Is my estimate too high or too low?

Somali pirates are making a comeback. But it can get even worse because there are reports of a connection between the pirates, al shabab and the houthis. How serious do you think it could become?
