๐ญ๐น๐ซฑ๐พโ๐ซฒ๐ผ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Listen to how corrupt politicians tried to convince President Bukele why it was a bad idea to get rid of the gangs. #Haiti#Bukele
Also, spot the correlation of why the ANC rejected Starlink's free internet for schools. Map by Claude.
It is like so blatantly obvious, keep them in the dark, one loaf of bread=1 vote, a few KFC Rounders= 2 votes, access to information = 0 Votes!!
@Lolita721611021 Well now you know why they keep rejecting Starlinks free offer for thousands of schools - they really need to keep the masses in the villages stupid and uneducated.

Can you imagine if those millions of people had the same access to information we have!!!
The Cape middle class already pays the countryโs highest cost of living on some of its lowest incomes.
About 27,000 Airbnbs are listed here. For a lot of owners renting out that extra room is how the month gets paid.
The new by-law would force a home listed on Airbnb as Commercial. Commercial rates are 2.41 times residential. Same flat, 2.41x the rates before a night is booked.
Booking sites must hand over your availability data, show a registration number, and pull the listing if you do not comply with the new tax.
This is the hardest squeeze they have put on the middle class yet.

I'm just going to say this and before anybody starts foaming at the mouth, I'm not homophobic! I couldn't give a fuck if you're gay. If you're a bloke and you fancy blokes, crack on. If you're a woman and you fancy women, crack on. Get married, adopt twelve fucking Labradors and spend Sunday arguing in IKEA like everybody else.
But what the fuck happened after that?
Because I remember LGBT.
I could just about keep up with that.
Then it became LGBTQ. Then LGBTQ+. Then LGBTQIA+. Then LGBTQIA2S+.
Fuck me. I used to think LGBT was a sandwich. Lettuce, guacamole, bacon and tomato. Then the Q arrived and I thought somebody had added fucking quiche.
Now it looks like somebody's Wi-Fi password.
And that's before you even get into the rest of it.
Non-binary, genderfluid, genderqueer, agender, bigender, trigender, pangender, polygender, demigender, demiboy, demigirl, genderflux, androgyne, neutrois, maverique, xenogender, genderfae, genderfaun.
Then there's he/him, she/her, they/them, he/they, she/they, he/she/they, it/its, ze/hir, ze/zir, zie/hir, xe/xem, ey/em, e/em, ve/ver, ne/nem, per/per, co/cos, thon/thon, ae/aer and fae/faer.
Still with me?
Because we're not fucking finished.
Bun/bunself. Pup/pupself. Cat/catself. Star/starself. Moon/moonself. Void/voidself.
VOIDSELF.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with that?
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
"Void."
"Right. I'll fucking stand."
And somewhere along the way we've also got furries. Grown adults dressed as cats, dogs, foxes and fucking dragons. People meowing. People barking. People crawling around on all fours. I've seen people dressed as dogs doing obstacle courses with an audience cheering them on like fucking Crufts has accidentally booked the wrong convention centre.
Imagine being an alien arriving on Earth and that's the first thing you see.
You'd put the fucking spaceship in reverse.
"No intelligent life here.
One of them's dressed as a border collie and somebody's just given him a biscuit."
And I'm sorry, but some of the videos are fucking spectacular. You've got somebody with luminous green hair looking like they've escaped from Fraggle Rock, absolutely screaming into another person's face because they've used the wrong pronoun.
How the fuck was he supposed to know?
You need a fucking laminated flowchart.
"Hello."
"HOW DARE YOU."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"EXACTLY."
This is the bit I don't understand. Be whoever you want to be. Love whoever you want to love. Wear whatever you want. Dye your hair green. Dress as a dragon. Call yourself Moonbeam. Spend Saturday crawling around the NEC pretending to be a fucking spaniel if that's what gets you through the week.
I genuinely don't care.
But don't demand that everybody else joins in.
My view is that there are two genders, male and female. You can disagree with me. That's fine. We can disagree about things without one of us spontaneously fucking combusting.
What I won't do is memorise an ever-expanding dictionary because somebody somewhere has decided this week that they're fae/faer, void/voidself and spiritually a fucking woodland fox.
We've somehow taken "live and let live", which was perfectly fucking simple, and turned it into a terms-and-conditions document.
You live your life. I'll live mine.
I'll call you by your name. I'll treat you like a human being. I won't give a flying fuck who you sleep with.
But if you start barking at me, I'm throwing a fucking tennis ball.

@Abramjee Yes @Abramjee , I couldnt agree more!!
BUT, my question is also why does not a week go by that I don't see another truck accident. I the good old days a truck accident like this made headline news.
Is our large truck licenses too easy to get, or are the drivers not licensed at al
@Finnthehuman80 Ek staar nou al 'n half-uur om die verskil te sien en hoera, ek sien dit uiteindelik!!!
Hy lyk nou baie meer fiks en gesond as of die eerste foto.
Goed gespot @AdriaanBasson ๐ช๐ช๐
