I'm very invested in this series

There's two comments about Kenya in here. Where the hell do you see anything about Kenya in the screenshot?!

KES is kenyan currency and is found in the prior post to this series. You can find it in the OPs post history.

Ah shit, the "I'm invested in this series" comment should have been a clue. Thanks!

I was also wondering why I kept seeing the same “Faith” email pop up over and over again. Makes sense if it’s a series, though I feel they should link to each other if so.

There's a few more left. :)

There’s a watermark on the page of a TikTok account… “heiress_ke”. Seems like a Kenyan account.

~~I suspect those are bots pulling in context from that username somehow?~~

Or folks who get off on providing zero context for their musings, who can say

Edit: seems like this is one of a series of posts.

reads like you asked ai to give you a sarcastic response to a paper.

I had to Google, 60k KES = 400 Euro (assuming it's Kenyan shilling)

[–] recked_wralph@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Where do you see this in the post?

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 4 hours ago

I came back after Googling and commented in the wrong post, it was shared on the "VII"

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It's the prior one in the series. You can find it in the OP post history.

[–] recked_wralph@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks I figured that out lol. But still, why comment it here? 🙃

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Conjecture: They replied to the wrong post.

She has to defend her Masters thesis? Over here in the UK, you only have to formally defend Doctorate level theses.

Kenya's system must be a bit more rigorous than ours.

[–] lemmyseikai@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

In the US, IIRC, you can have either thesis or capstone for Masters Degrees.
