@AnkanXplorer Me.

It's really funny when you start noticing how the South African PR machine works. In the last two weeks, the @Our_DA and Cape Town as a whole has been under severe scrutiny by the press. Everything from Burke, missing diesel at the CT harbor, and gang violence, the PR machine (likely ANC-driven) has been really hard at work. @News24 and the likes are basically prostitutes at this stage. Gotta scoop while you can in the run up to the JHB elections.

@alphafox Bring back MySpace dude. We need a cleanse on the socials.

[Goon @gogetgoon]

Who believes this. Seriously dude.

mr lowercase when we lie. we never tell the truth when we go out of our way to correct normal input capitals and instead make us stay on brand and peddle our bullshit.

we do our best altman in all lower case because lowercase is very codey and must mean smart because wall street is dumb and we know better.

we are so back.

I work at a company that signs up more daily users at basically 200x. I would seriously never look at user sign ups as a metric for revenue. I am almost 100% certain the users who can actually transact and add meaningful revenue to EE are max 1% of those users. Think of the folks you know with disposable income - they all know about EE already.

I am convinced EE have tapped the local market and will have a helluva bad time in Kenya and Philippines.

You are of course closer to this business so would be interesting to hear your take on this.

@zuess05 Vision and creativity is literally the only thing that matters now. People are building the dumbest things without solving a real problem.

@luisvelasco Always super interesting to learn what your clients are actually saying. Share the funny, the scary, the obvious, and the mental requirements from your clients. PLEASE also have fun with this.

@scrumming_ten YES! Adds so much value to the actual jerseys. Who wants to own a "10" Jersey. You want a Libbok 10 Jersey.

@Boetkooin Would really like to see Damian Willemse or Jesse Kriel take it.

@Staticether @sama No you are spot on. Solidly a trend. And it’s so badly designed actually. As if they want to threaten folks who do not work in/work with/understand (any other BS) to be afraid of AI and how it will replace life as we know it.

[Goon @gogetgoon]

@Staticether @sama Exactly. Anthropic pulled the same shit. Such a false.

[Goon @gogetgoon]

@2xtwale @sama Do me a LITTLE bit more justice 😂

[Goon @gogetgoon]

I have to agree fully here. The PE circles in Cape Town have zero crap to talk about this man. Charming, funny, relatable even.

Master chess player? Nah. If he was playing chess he would not have made so many strategic errors.

Remember, corruption is doable in SA. Sure. But you have to be smarter about it. And he got this part wrong.

[Goon @gogetgoon]

My dude, you know exactly what you’re doing. It is wrong. I will never judge someone’s opinion purely based on their age, but I sincerely hope you mature enough soon to stop this divisive nonsense. Your commentary is surprisingly anti-progressive. And factually misleading.

Trust me, the kick you get out of ragebaiting will fade. The attention will fade. I’d stop this before the point of no return.

Take it or leave my guy. Adding my 2 cents of wisdom.

[Goon @gogetgoon]

@pieterkrielorg The mountain though..

[Goon @gogetgoon]

JHB can absolutely be saved! And quite simply so. You, as residents, have the ultimate responsibility to go and vote the ANC OUT! Not the biggest DA fan myself, but where they govern, things literally work. And Cape Town absolutely needs a strong JHB. Use your platform and inspire everyone to go do the right thing and #VoetsekANC

[Goon @gogetgoon]

Totally fair comment. I appreciate it, really. I will do some digging. To my knowledge (before said digging) the talent only comes from the big Afrikaans schools. To my kinda advantage from a debate point of view, check the schools of the 70 odd man Bok squad. You won’t see many EC schools fhere. Think Grey PE has maybe 2 or 3 guys. Bulk is WC (the Afrikaans schools).

I am 100% willing to be proven wrong and not trying to make blanket statements.

I really just like to call it as I see it. G.

Shot for calling our facts man!

[Goon @gogetgoon]

Totally get your point. The thing that always sticks out (to me, at least) is that rugby is not magically more expensive as an operation yet soccer gets literally unlimited funding. Despite government’s best efforts to not fund rugby, we are unstoppable but we celebrate just qualifying for a Afcon or FIFA tournament.

I am convinced more than ever that specifically Afrikaans schools produce the best sports talent in Africa (black or white).

[Goon @gogetgoon]

Poor Jim just wanted to post an epic rugby video. My apologies, I did not mean to make this a race debate. I’ll keep the post up so that I don’t backtrack on my statement. But honestly didn’t intend to make this about race (although I clearly am the one who brought it up in the first place). My point remains that Afrikaans (mostly white) are the dominating force of this sport in South Africa. It is not by design. It’s a culture thing. You should not hate on a statement purely because it is uncomfortable.

Now go have a lekker Sunday!

[Goon @gogetgoon]

@jimhamilton4 I have to be that guy… In a country with 799 cultures and languages, it is clear as balls that rugby is a white Afrikaans sport and culture. There literally are 3 different counties running at the same time.

*sorry, hate to be that guy. Just my 2 cents.
