I read Woolf, and Tolstoy, and Dickinson, and Dostoyevsky, and every book I choose, on every random page I opened to, there were em dashes.
I would hazard a guess that exposure to different forms of literature could impact what people consider normal writing conventions, and that could influence their own writing.
Kind advice: if you're in a position to, check on your CRB status. I just found out that 6 years ago, someone fraudulently used my ID to register a phone number, took a Fuliza loan and never settled it – they dumped the phone number right after.
Use the USSD *433#
I wonder why in times of need people don’t call on the man who’s “single-handedly carrying hip-hop on his back.”
The man who Ebro said… “has done more for hip-hop than ANY rapper in history.”
Instead, they ALWAYS count on the “sellout who isn’t for the culture.”
The irony.
Save this if you look forward to becoming a manager, leading a team, making decisions. Moving up the ladder to a managerial level.
Here are 5 things you should be aware of👇🏾
1. What brought you here will not keep you here.
You were promoted because you were excellent at your job. You delivered. You executed. You outperformed.
Then the job changed.
2. Management isn’t about being the best anymore.
It’s about making others their best.
You move from being the star performer to building stars.
3. Stop competing with your team. Start cultivating them.
This is where many new managers struggle.
We keep doing what made us successful before instead of creating space for others to grow.
4. Your output is no longer tasks.
Your output is people — their clarity, confidence, and growth.
That shift takes time to accept.
5. Your job is to build people.
The promotion wasn’t a reward for past performance.
It was an invitation to develop an entirely new skill set: clarity, feedback, emotional intelligence, patience, restraint.
Do not underestimate the social effect of naming things to pathologize general male living conditions. This is how they create issues out of imagined oppression and build heavily funded movements and laws for social control.
Man has discomfort sitting with legs together for obvious groin reasons - manspreading.
Man has a natural (and quite honestly innocently helpful) enthusiasm in explaining things he really likes to a person he likes or would love to impress - mansplaining.
Man has a different perspective on life that sounds or feels even mildly inconvenient for women - misogyny.
Man expects care and basic decency (reciprocal) from girlfriend/wife - mankeeping.
Man gets served food in his own house - unpaid domestic labour.
Naming is a very subtle preamble to the subjugation of modern man. It starts with creating a narrative that everyone can say, "aaahh, I've also faced this." And it's always generalised things like, "every woman understands the pressure that comes with caring for a partner they love"
Bloody genius, who doesn't??
Then they either legislate, or enforce socially, any traits associated with said named problem.
You walk into an office for an interview and sit in a groin-breathability posture, they decide instantly you're going to be a problem.
You're asked a question about a niche interest on a date and explain with the enthusiasm of a 4 year old, your eyes lighting up. She texts the group chat that you're a mansplainer.
And any of these named issues come heavily coded as "abuse-adjacent". Anything they can name about your life, they can draw a direct link to you as a potential societal threat, and try to take it from you, legally or sub-legally.
Even when you finally give up on a world that won't stop spitting in your face and decide to focus on your niche hobbies and interests, totally unplugged from the drama, they will still label you "an incel", a potential "threat to the society" (women's feelings) that needs government intervention.
This pressure cooker you're putting military aged men into will not end well. For anyone.
Let me put the girls and the guys on. The Ordinary hair serum is pretty legit. It’s a cheaper alternative to Cecréd edge drops and it’s available in most beauty pages in KE. Used it for a month and I like it. Will use Cecréd this month to see their differences.
@droid254 These systems rated at 1000watts, but its peak power that they can barely sustain for 1 sec. I doubt they can deliver more that 60watts of clean sound without introducing distortion and clipping.
Want to be a frontend dev? Try the following. (A thread.)
1. Dedicate 2 hours daily in a month to learn HTML and CSS. (just master the fundamentals)
