I had the incredible fortune of visiting Tanzania recently, and flying over Dar Es Salam was mind boggling. That city is huge.
Arusha is gorgeous too.

usually growing economies eventually stop growing, but the benefit newly growing economies can access is more modern technology built in right from the start, instead of centuries of retrofitting new technologies as they become available
If Africa isn't turbo fucked by the changing climate, they will almost certainly be the main powerhouse in 100 years or so.
That being said, I doubt many places will avoid being turbo fucked by it.
This is great but that dude is a verifiable piece of shit. Unless he's changed his act or something he's pretty much everything that represents toxic social media bullshit.
I don't follow him super closely, but I think he's matured a decent amount in recent years
he's changed his act pretty drastically
glad people are learning! the most densely populated city in the entire world is in africa
people thought that, did never watch nature documentaries in africa, or researchers travelling to africa.
It made me realize millions of people thought most of Africa lived in huts.
Thanks to Hollywood and the media, plus most Americans not even having a passport let alone using it, people really do believe stereotypes
I know midwesterners who truly believe the Middle East is all one story clay shambly shacks, that everyone lives in a single room, and there's a permanent sepia filter on.
They only know it through Western media, and that media usually only portrays it for standard set pieces.

I once to went to Mexio and everything was yellow tinted. Then I took off my yellow tinted glasses and everything was fine.
thats why there quite some criticism about "homeland" as being extremely inaccurate
or that most of them dont know any names of the countries in africa, or the fact the S africa is a country.
As a Native American I have been asked more than once if I live in a teepee by other Americans. I often respond that I do but it has doors and windows and running water and we call it a house.
i am Appalachian. when i moved to DC for work people asked in full earnesty if i had to buy shoes before taking the train
Holy shit the low levels of both education and curiosity in the USA are embarrassing.
isnt it also only specific groups live in teepees.
Tipis are an extremely smart and comfortable way of living tho, in my opinion. I'd prefer it to owning a house if there was a way to legally do that. Unfortunately some guys came along and stole all the land, so now I have to pay them most of my income I made from working the industries that they built and own in order to survive in a bleak existence where seeing pigeons and rats counts for the majority of my daily interaction with nature.
You'd prefer living in a tent over a climate controlled space with running water and sewer?
Americans are dumb.
When I was about 16, I was traveling to the US. I still vividly remember immigration asking me if rollercoasters existed in Europe.
Americans also love asking where you're from, and there's only 2 responses:
- Oh yes, I actually have far relatives in Belgium!
- Oh yes, I've been in Belgium! Amsterdam is such a nice city.
It's funny, l vividly remember being a kid, definitely less than 10, and wondering about the prevalence of amusement parks. In my mind, my state had a nationally known park, and then there was Disney.
The people sorting out your papers saying that is wild.
i like telling "irish"-americans how they're legally kot irish according to ireland
It is really ingrained into most of us to be outwardly friendly and inviting.
especially keep it ignorant about africans/ and AA people, so they have easy scapegoat later on,.
When I was in a remedial history class to make time for advanced Spanish, several kids were entirely unable to read. All of them very poor and black. I remember it frequently, any time I try to get my head around the state of the US and the reason education is so frequently under attack. Systemic racism has far reaching ramifications.
They live out most of their lives in their cars, and exhaust fumes are clinically proven to be deeply harmful to cognitve ability. I don't know why we don't talk about that more. Wait, no, I know exactly why we don't talk about that more.
There was an interesting study done. A group was asked if smoking should be banned in outdoor cafes. Most said yes, it smells and forces everyone to inhale it.
Then they were asked if high-polluting vehicles like trucks should be banned from streets with outdoor cafes. Most said no.
The dots cannot be connected for some.

You mean dumbass American perceptions?
Its a good litmus test if someone has any intellectual curiosity, I know people who have prestigious degrees who think stuff like this.
you have people with advanced degree in STEM believie anti-vax and chronic lyme conspiracies , its quite jarring.
"I am an expert in exactly how this specific lugnut works, it pays very well" != "I am a smart man"
I have literally never heard a good thing about this Creator
I have literally never heard a good thing about you, is that supposed to be a value judgement?
Yes, because if you look a little harder than the literal interpretation of that, you would figure out that implys i have been hearing actively bad news about this person, have you heard dozens of allegations about me?
Okay, well have you considered that if I was pussyfooting around making accusations against you I’d say the exact same thing you did? This is a good moment to reflect and say what you want to say, or keep quiet
My man there are actual news articles on controversies this guy has had, your comparison of "uh wEll, bUT wHAt if I dID iT tO YoU" just doesn't make sense, I've explained what I meant by "I've never heard any good news about this guy" why are you getting so defensive?
I pointed out that your comment lacks substance and your only retort is that I’m being defensive. I hope you can laugh at yourself in the future
You're delusional
You said, to the defensive person
You know what's more embarrassing than going to bat for a known sex pest? Going to bat for a known sex pest and batting zero.
Keep projecting bro, self actualization is bad actually
You know what's more embarrassing than going to bat for a known sex pest and batting zero? Thinking you're winning while you're at it.
If you thought he was a sex pest why are you defending him? And how would that be my fault??
He won’t fuck you, bro
