@lazyorlaylah I don’t understand people who think a car is a status symbol. With few exceptions, cars are depreciating assets. Imagine worshipping something that loses value year-on-year?

@reachvaldo Did you mean to copy the @JamesClear Atomic Habits book cover?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@realalexrose @ChrisAlvino You proved this wrong with empirical testing long ago? Was your hypothesis falsifiable? Did you publish the results? Were they peer reviewed? What was your methodology? What the data set? What was your research design?

@CapitecBankSA @Innocensia This also happened on Live Better Day, March 2024.

Just check with a team if there isn't some date-related bug.

@carrynann I sent a You-Can-Do-It-In-8-Weeks plan.

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@carrynann You can do it! Check your DMs🏃‍♀️

@BrettFishA @RobynPorteous Does that make it a man-troll cave?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@BiancavanWyk16 Apparently, the DA declares war on unqualified candidates 😅. This bunch's lack of self-awareness is stellar.

@RobynPorteous @IanCameron23 I am not surprised by the scientifically illiterate coming out in this comment section. And these are some of the same people who will complain about the standard of education 😂

@AnnaDsays @wendyknowler Dear people who type in all lowercase and don’t use punctuation,

We are the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

@BrentLindeque And trying to find info online about whether she can maybe jump the queue is a nightmare.

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@BrentLindeque I hear you, but my wife recently had a double mastectomy for breast cancer. She’s still in pain. I drove past our voting station twice today and the queues were around the block. She can’t stand for that long because of pain, and the risk of picking some lurgie from someone.

@EBee40 Not digitally available as far as I know (I have a hard copy), but Sampie Terblanche’s “A History of Inequality in South Africa 1652-2002” is quite an eye opener.

@parrotsix @RobynPorteous @morrow_nw Came here to say this. I stay in Somerset West, while a large part of my family lives on the Cape Flats (they were moved there from D6 and other areas). The difference between how the City works between the two is a vast, yawning chasm.

@Darker_air It’s ironic, since Springsteen wrote it as a criticism of the US, not a glorification.

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@VoxTelecom Your generic responses aren’t helpful. You’ve been attending and escalating for 2 days. Escalate with more urgency. Your responses don’t tell me how close we are to resolution, just that it’s been escalated or is being attended to. 3 more hours? 6 more hours? When?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@VoxTelecom didn’t you escalate the fault to @FFFibre properly yesterday, so you had to do it again today, with no internet again 2 days running?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@AdiWBzB @VoxTelecom @FFFibre Almost 2 days for us. The lack of execution speed in fixing this makes me feel like @VoxTelecom and @FFFibre lack proper client service. Imagine thinking and acting like this is an acceptable way to treat clients in this day and age?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@VoxTalk2Us Yesterday, too. Should be plan for it to out tomorrow as well?

[Nathan Blows @NathanBlows]

@VoxTelecom I can’t because I refuse to pay for a verified Twitter account. Only verified users can send a message to someone who doesn’t follow them.
