Yup.

China buy up land and build their own little mini China towns and strip whatever mineral they need with all the money going down the pocket of whatever ruler the countries have.

Nothing reaches the people. 

In exchange they build infrastructure, very colonial of them.

Fwiw most schools are funded by foreign religious groups who in exchange for funding them get a say in what politics the country should push.

Hence why Uganda, thanks to right wing US Christians have one of the harshest penalties on homosexuality in the world. Praise Jebus!

I have to disagree in regard to Rwanda. I've travelled a fair bit there (Gorilla hikes too) and Kagame is genuinely loved by a large majority of the population. He has been integral to developing the Gorilla tourism which has provided many jobs and funding for education. I believe he is now into his 3rd 7 year term (which required a change to the constitution) but the Rwandan people wanted that continuity. I'm not saying his shit doesn't stink and he's probably stashing some cash away in a friendly Swiss bank, but Rwanda is the most developed country outside of South Africa and certainly one of, if not the safest in which to travel (again the road system and infrastructure is only bettered by South Africa on the continent.) Idi Amin he is not for sure.

Funnily  enough my wife and I randomly got invited to the annual gorilla baby naming ceremony in Musanze where wildlife organizations from all over the world come and get to name a baby (there were 54 that year.) Paul Kagame came and was like a rock star. Thousands had walked from villages for miles around to see him all in their "Sunday best" so to speak and the display of color was amazing. A very cool experience even though it felt a little colonial sitting in the VIP tent while people stood for hours outside in the elements!

Anyway back OT, he wasn't wearing an Arsenal shirt that day.

Amazing. People can't admit he is poor. Played his part in being poor. Yes you are correct. 

We will never do anything in this league if that's the standard we require from a playmaker with very little defensive duties. If he doesn't finish and score more, doesn't create more directly, then he must add other dimensions to his game, like physicality and tackling and become a boxtobox player. Right now he's a deep laying playmaker spreading passes pretending to be a CAM, when we already got Luiz and are playing a 451. It directly affects how potent we are in attack. We can't afford both Luiz and Jack excelling in the same stuff. We need more going forward from Jack and that's how it is. 

haha the mascot give it large to the camera!

Going for this beauty today!

He just jogged off into the tunnel and looked ok - We'll know soon enough I guess

Obviously it's far from great but there seems to be some suggestions that it's not as bad (compared to many other years) as is being reported - largely on social media. Two widely shared images for example are actually several years old. In fact, the trends more recently have seen deforestation through fire decrease.

We're destroying the planet no doubt, but things get very easily spread (like wildfire HAHAHAHA) without context.

Not sure you can say it's "not as bad as being reported." Theres a 98% consensus among scientists that global warming is happening as a direct result of humans burning fossil fuels. The last 5 years were the hottest ever recorded.

The last 2 years have seen an increase in urgency by the majority of scientists saying that this is happening more quickly than even the most radical models predicted. The Arctic is on fire, fresh water is pouring into the oceans and sadly the world seems to have decided that the best folks to have in charge are people who are putting their fingers in their ears and going LaLaLaLaLa.

This is an emergency that is already affecting people today and will only get worse in our lifetimes.

End of Days. I think it's too late to save anything now and I'm talking about the planet as a whole not just the amazon. We've **** the oceans up, we've destroyed the earth itself exhausting natural resources, we've crippled the environment with global warming. We are a scum species.

But yay capitalism right?

That is all.

My VT addiction has become ridiculous since the new season started.

I've found myself using it at work way way too much. Enough that it's impacting my work quite a lot.

 

So I'm going to take a hiatus for a bit. Might still lurk but won't be posting for a bit.

 

See you in a few months. I love you all.

Except @lapal_fan. The word removed  

7 minutes from when you posted that to liking my post.

Work going well then?
