Sports › AFL: Aussie Rules Football by Cousin9999(op): 10:50am On Aug 21, 2021

So I think I'm getting into this sport.

I've seen it before, but I wasn't drawn in until I saw this Fijian player leap in the air to catch the ball and kick it clear across the field in what seemed like a split second. I don't think I've ever seen that in any sport.

I thought it was rugby, but it's not. It's like a rugby-basketball-soccer hybrid. It looks like chaos at first, which is probably why it hasn't caught on. But it's pretty awesome. It's like if a basketball player could be tackled. It's all-out war. It might be one of the sports closest to actual battle.

There are a lot of great Melanesian, native Aussie, and African players in it.

Programming › Development Using Only Mobile Devices by Cousin9999(op): 10:25am On Aug 21, 2021

I'm just going to drop tools here for development on cells and tablets. Tools will be standalone and not companions of desktop IDEs or other dev offerings.

I'll try to only drop stuff that is reliable, holistic, and suitable for professional use. Let me know if something is wack, so I can remove it.

Warning: Do not develop on your main device that you use for work/school/business. Get another mobile just for dev.

Probably the most popular:

Look pretty good:

Programming › Re: Why Leaving Nigeria Must Be Your Utmost Priority As A Programmer by Cousin9999: 3:27pm On Aug 19, 2021

Bossman:
Some valid points are made here regarding working remotely, for the same high salary, with relatively cheaper cost of living. However, we need to remember that constant power supply and uninterrupted (and very good) internet connection are the key to making that work. As a software guy myself, I have visited Nigeria and have tried to do a bit of remote work on some occasions. It's usually not a very pleasant experience, due to the not so reliable internet connection.

Yeah, I understand those issues. That's why I suggested going to another African country in my original comment.

Furthermore, you don't necessarily need to be strongly connected all hours of the day to do this work. You also don't need to be plugged in all day.

Think about this. Some coders use a pencil and pad for most of their development, and they can code fairly involved things in minutes rather than hours. And these aren't elite coders. Furthermore, today you can have a whole development suite on a cell phone. There are also cheap tablets with power comparable to a laptop, and they can go almost a whole day on a single charge.

And connection becomes less relevant when you're releasing your own products instead of strictly working for someone. You can hire people to be available. Let them camp out by their computer while you enjoy yourself.

Unfortunately, I've tried that and I realized I was wasting my time.
I need a tutor, a good one at that. Where I'll be taught well with projects and group works

If you need more guidance, try MOOCs. The best website is edX.

I was going to pick your comment apart, but you made a lot of valid points.

That said, generally speaking, you would have to be a fool to actually leave the shores of Africa as coder. Here's why:

- Coders can be based anywhere, and continental immigration has less bureaucracy. Why waste money and effort on the immigration process?

- The average COL for an African city is modest. Why turn down living among your own people in a good city while earning a western salary, or better yet, passively earning from a project you did years ago?

- There are plenty of African nations with little drama and good infrastructure. Why go to some Asian or eastern European toilet, when you have all the resources you need at home?

The only good reason to go abroad is for the specific experience and training that you get working in-house at a large multinational. But 2-4 years is plenty of time to do it. After that, you're just making them rich, getting crumbs, and living an undesirable lifestyle. Contracting as well as doing your own projects would be infinitely better. And the money you earn will have you living like royalty in Africa.

I'm just trying to imagine why someone would rather be in Poland or Vietnam working long hours and stressing about bills while dealing with racism instead of: working when they want to work, collecting passive income, living in a large luxury condo, taking care of family financially, spending most of their time with family or traveling, saving a lot of money, investing, and more. The only exception would be a C-suite job with a very high salary. Other than that, what makes it worth it?

The fact that it is even up for debate is disturbing and shows just how much degenerates are overrunning the system.

This is not coming from the masses. It is a small group of oyinbo males with a lot of money. And besides that, there are a lot of incredibly stúpid oyinbos and degenerate oyinbo males supporting it. This is more a reflection of oyinbo's low IQ and insanity than anything else.

As they should. I mean, what the actual fúck??

Canada just rejected an amendment to a law that would have stopped parents from getting therapy for dysphoric kids.

The UK also fairly recently prevented doctors from giving kids puberty blockers (unless of course they have a real medical condition requiring it) and hormone shots (again, unless they need it).

So clearly, the sick people behind all of this are not winning the battle.

Some of you might want to consider training as a sterile processing technician. Surprisingly, they make good money. And you can do it as a side job.

ETA: I'm proposing this as a trade to support you while you study and get settled; not a long-term career.

He's not simply effeminate.

He's dressed like a female.

If a guy is feminine, that's just how he's wired. No one should make an issue out of it. It harms no one, and he can't really help it.

If a guy puts on a dress, he deserves a good slap. It's disgusting.
