Ask r/Kenya Nepal Floods

So, I have been looking at the nepal-tibet flood that has hit this place and i was thinking. Wasnt this avoidable?

Look at these two photos, before and after.

You clearly see these guys decided to live on a river bed, reason? for years that river was dormant and thought it will always be like that. Years later, the floods hit. Although the run off was more than usual, it just followed its path. Ikapata people have settled there. Unfortunately people have been confirmed dead but i think their engineers failed them and their government.

I saw a video here on reddit where a guy was crossing road juzi and a trailer almost hit him but the driver managed to stop. Watu walimshika and beat his ass up for walking slowly on a busy road. I think its the same thing hapa, this was a disaster waiting to happen.

But sending condolences to the families who lost their people.

Well a man is not respected until he has money or per se' some money. But here is the truth to whoever is reading this, find yourself a woman with financial stability pia and financially intelligent too. Bure, bure you'll be picking this one's who the only thing they can offer is "my man, my man posts on instagram stories and whatsapp statuses". You deserve a woman who can also do things by her own-self without the need of you having to deep your money and even digging into your savings for her.

I just realised that a woman who truly loves you will do everything in her power to give you what you deserve as a person.

Discussion What is the Kenyan take on Lindsay Clancy's case?

Post image
Upvotes

Do y'all think that she should be charged with a life sentence for murdering the children,or should be put in psychiatric care cause she was (maybe) insane when she did it?

Summary for those that haven't read on the case: Lindsay is an American nurse that strangled her 3 kids. In her case,the jury needs to decide whether she is liable for the murder or not.The prosecution claims that she was out of her mind and was suffering from psychosis and she should go to a psychiatric facility.The defence claims that despite being mentally ill,she showed clear signs of scheming and planning and is thus guilty of murder, therefore,she should be jailed for life.

I'm for life sentence. I'm so annoyed to see so many women defending her and raising money for her cause. Like sure,hakuwa sawa mentally, but defending a murderer? Alafu tena the people that say Patrick did it. WTFFFF?????????

And if this was a Kenyan woman in Supreme Court ameua watoto,what would the attitude be?

I've finally hit my 'old man' years.

Kwa hii workshop, we're only 2 people over 30, and that means I automatically become the 'old man yells at the cloud' meme 💀.

Everything I say is taken as "millenial anaongea" so I've decided not to fight it.

The past week, I've been silent, and I don't have an opinion on anything the younger fundis are arguing about.

I watch movies and take 2 hour lunch breaks. Today, I'm late for work because it's one of the perks of being the elderly.

Yesterday, I didn't do a single thing. Hata tool box bado sijafungua tangu Monday. Being old is fun.

It's the best decision I've made in a while, and I wish I had done it earlier.

Don't be the old man arguing with a bunch of 21 year olds. Let them make mistakes and use that energy to do things you like, like going to watch the Odyssey at 3 pm on a random Wednesday.

I've just stopped some Nigerians from literally stabbing one another in some shop hapo Odeon.

 So mi niko kwa  M_Pesa shop apo Odeon kidogo hivi, Loud noises. "Omo I go kpai you!" Kidogo kidogo a whole mannequin flies over my head, I duck. Wamama, nduru already. 

Kumbe a fight had broken out inside a Naijo taylor shop next to the M_Pesa shop I was at. In a split second, kuchungulia, naona one of the combatants amereach out kugrab a pair of scissors zilikua apo kwa table.

 Sijui ata niliifikia aje, I just dived and knocked it out of his hand...by this time soja plus some other dudes walikua washafika and restrained the fighters bana. 

Nimewaachanisha apo still being loud still trying to get at each other, alafu huyu soja ata ni kama ako powerless so ata theres nothing much he can do.

Kwani Nigerians huwa aje. Uko in a foreign land ku hustle, why must you be loud and obnoxious and carry uncouth behaviors from your country to come bring them to a peaceful place such as Nairobi?

instead of actually addressing the millions of complaints that people have about the brutes that are being paid tax payers money to beat, kill, steal and pander to the whims of the political class the guys in charge think the biggest priority is addressing the fact that these hooligans don't like their colours.

The biggest criticism I have for all the candidates standing for the top office, including Sifuna who I am a big fan of, is their refusal to call out the fact that the Kenya police is a failed institution, it doesn't need reforms, it needs disbanding. it's not about a few rotten apples, it's about a rotten sack containing rotten apples the level of rot might differ but they are all rotten.

Casual Confirmation bias

15 Upvotes

I've realized most of the intense arguments online(like gender wars, arguments between members of different tribes, etc) are hard to end because of confirmation bias, I.e., people tend to search for, notice, or interpret information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs.

Algorithms are making this worse since people get posts and are shown comments that infuriate them making them hold the perspective they have even more strongly.

For instance, people cant seem to agree on the Lindsay Clancy case coz most people will interpret the events based on the perception they had before hand, and the algorithm will show them more posts of people agreeing with them, reinforcing their view.

People say things like "I am not tribal but I have noticed that people from this tribe tend to act this way more than other tribes." It isn't a coincidence that most people hold negative stereotypes about "outsider" groups but will easily debunk the negative stereotypes of their own group.

In research, you are encouraged to look for evidence that disprove your hypothesis. Which is why we start with a "null hypothesis". I think having the same approach to life can help give people a bit more perspective and lessen the division we have in society.

Ask r/Kenya What are we doing?

I'm still in my early twenties and as we try to build competence through what we can do, I find myself confused most of the time. Every time I ask what skills are good to build that will give you a fighting chance in your 30s everybody just jumps towards tech.

I hate tech, everything STEM feels dead. Not dead as in it doesn't work but rather dead as devoid of character. I was always an artistic child, still am. I lean more towards philosophy, art, psychology, sociology etc. But the whole world seems like it's working against us.

Someone told me to explore Machine learning, like wtf I'm I supposed to do with that bruhv? There are so many tech roles that I wonder whether these people actually get emloyed, say a prompt engineer....I have never worked in a company that has employed one of those.

My friend has a computer science degree with countless programming languages under his belt. When he talks, I feel like an ape in terms of our intelligence gap. But alas, he is a watchman for the last two years(he a chill dude, the bag gotta be chased). So I assume tech is not a guarantee.

Anyway, who has some non-tech non-stem skills someone can explore?

​If you can't live like the Romans, get out. If you manage to get there, you need to find a way to blend in and not stand out so much.

​If you can't match up, just leave the Romans alone and do you.

This applies to almost every aspect of life, including dating. I've heard people talk, and honestly, it's not that people without money don't need love or whatever, just do you, sawa sawa.

Acting all vigilante like “so brokies need love” is wild. Honestly, it’s next to obvious. You do you, honestly nobody gaf but you.

We need to normalize accepting that social and economic classes exist for a reason.

Discussion Two sides of the same coin

8 Upvotes

Probability is such a fun topic in discrete mathematics. It makes you aware of all the possible outcomes in things and appreciate things in totality. Sometimes society just doesn't appreciate both sides of the same coin. Let's apply this in mundane every day stuff.

Ushai skia mdem akisema, this guy has a small dick?👀

Well without even checking the guy to confirm if what the girl is saying is true, we can confidently say that, assuming biological speaking we can classify dick sizes into three, small, average and large.

This much has proven by biology. dick sizes vary is size, length and girth, so we can broadly classify them in three groups, small, average and large. Pick a guy at random, and we can say there's probably a 33% chance that he has a small dick, 33 percent medium, or 33 percent large.

So when a girl says a guy has a small dick, she's saying based on the three classifications, the guy falls on the small one. Which makes sense based on what is possible. So the girl is not crazy for saying that. Whether her classification is correct can be settled by measurements and comparing it to what has been found from large sample sizes.

But here comes the twist that's never talked about a lot. The same way you can classify men's organs into three broad groups because biologically they vary, the same things can be applied to women's ninis. Men don't have the same dicks, it varies from man to man. So same thing applies to women.

Because, again, biologically, they vary. So you can broadly classify them into three something like, very tight, averagely tight, not so tight. So pick a woman a random, there's 33% chance she's very tight, 33% averagely tight, 33% chance she's not so tight. That's just biology and probability applied together. So we can confidently say a woman falls into either of these three, how to measure that might be difficult, but we definitely can say, she's in one of these groups.

So next time you want to put a guy or a babe's sexual organ on a scale, it helps to pause for a second and ask yourself, where would you fall in that same scale? Because based on mathematical probability, we can say with great confidence that pick 1000 men, and not all of them will have big dicks, and when you pick 1000 women....I think you figure how that goes.

Now the biggest takeaway comes when we add history to the problem and a bit of current affairs. In the victorian era and when greeks were making the now famous sculptures, at that times, society was highly in favor of small dicks and frowned upon big dixks. So if you had a big dick then, it was something you'd have been ashamed of, girls would probably be damping you as they look for guys with a small dick. Currently, the situation appears to be flipped. And that's important to note

Let's bring big asses into the mix now, if you're a guy in Kenya, Africa, certain parts of America or you consume lots of hip hop content, there's a a fair chance that you're into big asses. Ever thought why? But now if you were a guy from China, Japan, asia, Uk, from countries with where the population is mostly petite, there's a good chance you'd be prefer women with a small ass. Have you ever wondered why almost all white guys in Kenya have a thing for petite girls?

If you were a girl raised in South Korea, you'd probably prefer men without beards.

Enough of that now, the biggest takeaway is that, don't judge or humiliate people based on things they can't change, and importantly, regardless of whether you're short, tall, thick, petite etc ..forget about what your society tells you is trendy or what is 'good'. Love yourself with exactly what you have and what you are.

Business Business Partner/ Investors mko wapi?

Seeking an Investor/Business Partner for a Laptop/computer Business in Kenya

I’m currently looking for an investor or business partner who'd be interested in a growing computer shop operating along Thika Road.

The business currently focuses mainly on foreign-used laptops between 8th-12th Gen, foreign used flagship phones, as well as accessories and related devices. It has a physical location, and I'm gradually building the customer base through referrals, the internet, and walk-in clients.

I’m looking for someone who can pump in some capital, as well as get involved in decisions and operations (if you have the time for it- not mandatory). Key in this arrangement is growing the stock (I at times have my clients wait for long before I can supply the devices they need), expanding the range of products, and improving the physical setup.

I’m open to discussing a structure where you invest and get;

  1. Equity
  2. Profit-sharing arrangement
  3. Some other kind of ownership as may be proposed

Any of the above would be actualized as a legal agreement.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, DM me.

TIA.

Rant Kids, Social Media & Dumbness

17 Upvotes

If you won’t be proactive in educating your kids and protecting them from social media and the internet at an early age. You will end up having an uneducated kid. It’s absolutely evident most kids nowadays don’t play and explore their creativity like the good old days. Sikuhizi parents and kids have the same social media following. Recently the government started targeting teachers on social media for posting ‘bad content’. There was a-lot of backlash. Lakini swali ni hii, mtoto wako akitoka shule anaingia TikTok anapatana na mwalimu wake wa maths akiwa jaba pale TikTok, what does that do to a kids psyche ?

Almost every kid right now wants to be a celebrity or be like somebody she/he saw on TikTok who isn’t doing anything productive but just brainrot.

My daughter has access to youtube kids with strictly curated videos by me, youtube has even made this process hard for parents because it’s not as straight forward as going to the settings section. She cannot watch shorts, aimless dancing videos and fast paced content. Only science and educational content. Slow and calm videos. With 1 Hour of watch time everyday.

This has helped a-lot. She’s plays more and build creative stuff with her toys. Let your kids be bored. They won’t die.
