Potential is like clay. Without direction and consistent effort, it’s just a lump of dirt. @nwavemagazine

The Haya people of Tanzania were producing carbon steel in the year 100 AD, nearly 1,900 years before the process was independently developed in Europe. Their furnaces reached 1,800 degrees Celsius using preheated forced-draft technology that European metallurgists did not achieve until the Industrial Revolution. When anthropologists arrived to study it in the 1970s, the knowledge only survived because a few elderly men still remembered it. Cheap European steel had already put the Haya out of business decades earlier. Africa did not need to be taught how to build. It needed to be left alone.
What historical fact sounds fake but is true?

You need to know who you are. Outside of all the noise and expectations and social conventions. You need to know who you are when there is no pressure to embody a response to the world around you. The alternative is a life lived as an echo.

It’s jarring. But you can just get a couple of friends together and go to your mates house. Drinks, food, music, good company and a clean bathroom/ toilet. Not a bad night out.

London is missing a place where you can rave, and watch The World Cup matches until around 6am. It’s sorely missing late night spaces. I’d love to be in Barcelona right now. I just KNOW there’s places open until fuck off o’clock with ridiculously huge screens

Dr Walter Rodney was assassinated on June 13, 1980, by a bomb planted in a walkie talkie. He was 38. His key work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, exposed the roots of global inequality and the violence of colonial underdevelopment.

If you want a happy relationship, spend time learning from people who have happy relationships. A penguins cannot teach an eagle how to fly.

I spent last night with friends and I can feel the increased sense of satisfaction in my brain. For some reason I just chose not to drink for the whole evening. There’s nothing that replaces genuine human connection. Nothing.

Asking for directions from people who have never been where you want to go. It’s really dumb and we should all stop this.

Stop taking relationship advice from people who are not living examples of the success story you’d like to emulate. Stop giving unaccomplished people a chance to take you down with them.

We’ve allowed too many people with unhealthy attachment styles to influence how we find and maintain love connections. For some reason, we took advice from people who have never succeeded in love and convinced ourselves it was a good idea.

If you’re looking for marriage; why are you listening to guys who think marriage is a trap? If you want to be in a healthy monogamous relationship; why are you listening to women who are not in those types of relationships?

Dating a woman who gets excited like a kid every time she’s around you is one of the best decisions a man can make. She’ll treat you better.

Xenophobia is not comparable to patriotism. One is a love for your country. The other is hatred toward a group or groups you have labeled as ‘other’. Nothing good comes from hatred.
The hate we’re getting from the rest of the world obviously hurts and it’s upsetting ‘cause we’re not all xenophobic losers. But that’s what we deserve considering recent events. You can call me ‘unpatriotic’, it’s true. I love SA but I also know the dangers of patriotism.

You spend 4 years trying to make it work with someone who’s giving you the bare minimum. Then the moment you dead it, you meet someone who treats you how you wanted to be treated from day 1 without you ever having to ask. Life is funny like that.

lol, Why don’t right wing people understand comedy/ satire/ exaggeration/ hyperbolic framing? The joke in this scene is that liberals go too far. - how have you found a way to be offended by them making your point for you? 😂
Replying to @CFC_lova
Who and why the frick is this an actual movie?! liberals are WEIRD AF. Period. Their brains are mush, they do nothing but project and accuse others of being just like them, psycho. I legit cannot stand liberal progressive Obama, Clinton, Biden and Kamala voters. They’re mentally ILL. Fact. Only a Clinton, Obama, Biden and Kamala voter could imagine such stupidity and think it’s reality. Weird MF’ers. Keep them away from you, their mind rot can jump person to person. 😉

The best partners are just best friends so….you’re kinda spot on. It’s kinda worded like that’s a bad thing though.
an amazing boyfriend is kinda the equivalent of an average female friendship

Don’t date people who want to bring bits of their single life into the relationship. Date people who understand why there needs to be a difference.
