I’d put money on that not having happened in years.

Going from 37% to 79% in 10 years is roughly the rate every industrialized nation did it.
I will be impressed if they reach 98% by 2030.
There’s an S curve to these things. The middle moves real fast.
The beginning is hard work and it’s expensive.
Then the infrastructure allows explosion to areas with easy access.
Lastly, diminishing marginal returns to extend the infrastructure to the less easy to access areas.
So what I’m saying is, what they’ve done isn’t really impressive, yet. Other than “In the greater context of ‘Africa’”.
Their goal (100% by 2030), is lofty and if they reach it that’d be crazy and article-worthy.
I’m glad to know Kenya is moving apace, but they are moving exactly that. Apace. Not exceptional. Not yet.
I’m approaching 40 And it was hard enough with cable internet being all the rage.
Now that kind of connectivity is 24/7 and on personal pocket sized devices.
I don’t envy today’s youth.
I genuinely don’t know if that’s impressive. A decade is a long time, and Kenya isn’t known for having outstanding infrastructure to start.
At its face it kinda sounds like the expected pace? But I also know nothing about this…
When you’re 20, you care what everyone thinks about you
When you’re 40, you don’t give a shit what anyone thinks about you.
When you’re 60, you’ll realize no one was thinking about you the whole time. It will be more empowering than depressing.
Skip the worry. Do you. It’s public space and hurts no one.
Oh good that’s what we need.
Fewer enlistees.
Wait wait
They want the woman to go to the men’s room???
😵💫
Or… Or, is it that maybe gender is like maybe a lil bit gray, and the officer made a mistake? 🧐
📽️ Why A Scanner Darkly is a good film
🕴️ Keanu is an agent.
💊 Robert Downy is on drugs

Waking Life is an excellent movie that every coming of age adolescent should watch. Preferably during their first few times experimenting with a hallucinogen, but that’s certainly not required.
Alex Jones got drunk on investigative journalism success. It is not a stretch to say that he and Michael Moore were very similar and on similar paths at one point in history (circa Waking Life, 1999-2001.). . Turns out one of them is both batshit crazy and great at mass manipulation, while the other is still righteous but struggles to get noticed.
If you didn’t know this, it’s important to hear. It’s important to know that someone seemingly righteous right now can be revealed to be a lunatic piece of shit loser down the line.
Their message can be righteous. Power corrupts, and manipulators often barely know they’re manipulating. They know they’re succeeding. They’re drunk on it and they stumble onward into grotesque success.
I won’t give spoilers, but another classic psychonaut movie of this era is, IMO, Keanu Reeves best performance. It is also rotoscoped and trippy and about hallucinogens. Alex Jones has a similarly small role, scene here.
Sincerely if you’re like 16 to 25 and just getting into drugs… Watch both of these movies. I promise Alex Jones has nothing to do with them other than that he was actual kinda a liberal beacon at the turn of the millennium. Weird to recount.
What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we’ll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.
This disjointed drunken ramble was brought to you by beer.
Go watch Waking Life, yes. But go watch A Scanner Darkly. Both have rotoscoped Alex Jones being Liberal. The latter is a better film.
I would absolutely leave that practice.
Aaaaand blocked.
All my homies hate spez
I really hope the ghouls that are perpetrating these kidnappings get their own day in court. And I hope they are tried as domestic terrorists, and face detention in terrorist detention facilities like Guantanamo Bay.
We have purposely avoided branding acts by Americans as “Domestic Terrorism” for this very reason. It’s why Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in Colorado and not Gitmo.
Welp, the other side has thrown that out the door. I hope America has their Nuremberg.
When will we all be in the same page that our president is a Russian Assets and deliverately is acting contrary to the interests of our country?
Like how much more blatant does it gotta get?
I did not say it was impossible. At all. Get your strawman bullshit outta here. Stick to the point or stfu.
I said am not interested in those living conditions.
Full stop.
Yeah. I’m not having kids in those conditions.
Full stop.
$5000???
Hahahahaha
Give me a house. Anything short of 1500 sqft, 3br, 1.5ba, on a half acre or more is just not enough for my gf and I to even consider.
And we are both gainfully employed.
This reads like incel copium.
