Family › Re: Polygamy - A Bad Idea by Cousin9999: 11:48am On May 01, 2022
economic disparity directly resulting from outcome of polygamous marriage practice in the Muslim area.
Fair argument. But this assumes that all people in a polygamous marriage are poor, uneducated, and all the wives unemployed. A working class/middle class polygamous marriage is basically a small firm.

1 man and 10 women in a polygamous setting may produce the same children, but said children are siblings
Fair argument. But the same thing can happen just from having large families in small areas. For example, Mexicans complain about "every Mexican" possibly being a cousin. And some black Americans in the south refer to each other as "cousin" because some communities are so genetically small that a random person might actually be a cousin.

And attraction to light skin can also cause the problem. High rates of modern consanguinity are linked directly to these views, for example, India, black Americans, and south Americans.

the pool of marriageable women is too small to accommodate a growing population of angry, undersexed young men who soon turn feral
This is idiotic. But if we take this seriously. Indians actually have the undersexed problem just from having a society that's too conservative where they obsess over virginity. The problem can also appear where society views females as inferior and overproduces males, for example, India and China.

They became the only civilisation in human history to be completely, utterly, comprehensively and decisively
This person sounds white, gross, and miserable. They probably fear handsome, masculine, tall, muscular African men marrying 3 of their women. lol They probably tear up at the thought. They should be nervous. Most heterosexual women prefer a black zaddy. lol

21-25 is quite young. People generally don't know who they are and what they want at that point in life. It's a bit better to marry in late 20s at the youngest. A lot of the reason previous generations married so young is poverty, gender discrimination, conservative lifestyles, and expectations.

Constructive communication is important, not debating.

If a couple communicates well, they can discuss problems and feelings without it being destructive and without fear.
Family › Re: How Do You Nurture A Child? 5 Simple Ways To Do It by Cousin9999: 10:56am On May 01, 2022
Good thread.

2 other ways:

1. Play
It helps teach patience, problem solving, social skills, creativity, and a lot more. It helps parents learn more about their child and build a strong bond.

2. Enrichment
It helps kids discover their interests and strengths, nurtures their mind, and cultivates an optimistic attitude. But it also strengthens the parent-child relationship as a parent creates opportunities and supports them throughout their experiences and journey. You're making lasting memories that, like play, they'll want to share with their children one day.

Celebrities › Re: Ugezu: All Ladies Condemn Polygamy. Who Then Are The Ladies Dating Married Men? by Cousin9999: 9:16am On Apr 29, 2022
I generally agree. Society should be more accepting of (consensual) polygamy, instead of supporting broken homes and casual attitudes toward relationships and children.

And many women think polygamy is about a man's fantasy when really it's just an alternative large family. Co-wives take the place of extended family. Polygamy isn't for everyone because it takes more work and maturity than monogamy, but it has a lot of social and economic benefits. It means no childcare expenses, no overwhelmed parents, more incomes, more emotional support for children, more emotional support for spouses, and many other benefits.

It's funny when people get so angry at the idea of polygamy, but single mothers, poor families, and high divorce rates don't bother them.

And yes, polygamy can only really work with multiple women.

Why I don't show sympathy is, the latter made their choices. It's these same people who will load 100mb data and waste all their day online on so-called celebrities, calling themselves fans and will be quick to attack you on behalf of their clown celebrities.

A society where talented, intelligent, first-class graduate happily lick the feet of talentless, frogvoice singers.
Abeg enjoy your 20k teaching job, the world will start showing sane balance when people decide to have sense.
That's an interesting way to put it. lol

Weights are good, but genetics dictate how it makes your body look.

Basically, you have to do decent cardio. Bike, run, swim, row, or skip. Swimming might be the best for guys because it builds up the "t-shirt" muscles.

Food › Re: How To Freeze Garden Veggies So They Last 3-5x As Long, And What Not To Freeze by Cousin9999(op): 9:03pm On Apr 27, 2022
Steps:
Clean vegetables to rid them of dirt, debris, and insects. Don’t overfill sealing bags.

Follow instructions for your sealer to the letter; if you don’t use the machine exactly as the manufacturer intended, don’t expect good results.

Always label packages, and include the processing date.

When processing large batches, take breaks to transfer sealed bags to the freezer. Food should never sit out on counter for more than 2 hours.

Remove bags from storage using the FIFO system – First In, First Out. That way, the oldest produce will get used up first (instead of getting buried at the bottom of the freezer where it will ruin).

Food › How To Freeze Garden Veggies So They Last 3-5x As Long, And What Not To Freeze by Cousin9999(op): 9:02pm On Apr 27, 2022
On average, vacuum sealing will keep vegetables fresh 3 to 5 times longer. To extend storage time far longer, many vegetables can be flash frozen first and then vacuum sealed. Some foods will last for up to 2 years when preserved this way. You need to research the proper way to do this.

Yes, blanching is necessary for several reasons. Even when frozen, active enzymes in food can rob them of color, flavor, and nutrients. Blanching stops this process so that freshness can be preserved after vacuum sealing and freezing. Another problem addressed by blanching is the gases that are emitted by cruciferous vegetables. “Cruciferous” means vegetables related to the mustard family such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, radishes, and turnips. Left unblanched, your neatly sealed vacuum bags would fill up with this gas, and the produce would spoil.

Timing and methods used in blanching can vary. The water method is recommended for most vegetables, and for complete details see this chart of blanching times provided by The National Center for Home Food Preservation.

Two vegetables are NOT suitable for vacuum packaging. They are mushrooms and garlic. The problem is that some foods contain anaerobic bacteria, and this bacteria can grow even in the absence of air. That means that even inside a vacuum sealed pouch, the bacteria will continue growing inside the food, making it dangerous to eat. There may be other vegetables like this, do your research.

Most important, by far, is cleanliness. Before you begin, clean your entire work area, including the counter tops and utensils. Wash your hands, but still, you should avoid touching food. Either use tongs or spoons, or wear food grade gloves. You also want to read about risks of food poisoning with vacuum sealed foods that are improperly prepared or stored.

Steps in next post.

More wealth leaves Africa every year than enters it – by more than $40bn (£31bn) – according to research that challenges “misleading” perceptions of foreign aid.

Analysis by a coalition of UK and African equality and development campaigners including Global Justice Now, published on Wednesday, claims the rest of the world is profiting more than most African citizens from the continent’s wealth.

Foreign Affairs › US Seeks To Increase Security Cooperation With Papua New Guinea by Cousin9999(op): 6:53pm On Apr 27, 2022
The United States wants to expand security cooperation with the Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea, a US official said on Tuesday (Apr 26), amid concerns in Washington about China's motives for striking a security pact with the nearby Solomon Islands.

A US delegation met Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and its defence chiefs last week and plan to hold further security discussions in the coming months, said US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Daniel Kritenbrink.

"There is a desire on both sides to ensure we take concrete steps to expand our security cooperation," he told reporters in a call.
Last Friday, the United States said it had warned Solomon Islands Prime Minister Mannaseh Sogavare that it would have "significant concerns and respond accordingly" to any steps to establish a permanent Chinese military presence.

China said previously that the security agreement signed last week does not pose a risk to the United States. China has criticised Australia, which is less than 2,000km away and historically provided policing to the Solomon Islands, for opposing it.

Kritenbrink, part of a White House delegation that travelled to the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Fiji last week, said that Sogavare had reiterated in the meeting that the China agreement was focused on domestic security needs and that there would be no military base.

However, the United States would monitor developments, because it was concerned by the lack of transparency and China's motives, he said.

"They are completely unclear because this agreement has not been scrutinised," Kritenbrink said, adding that the concern was shared by regional partners, Pacific island nations and among the Solomon Islands' people.

The Solomon Islands occupies a strategic position for shipping lanes and communications in the Pacific...

Foreign Affairs › Ethiopia Arrests Four Over Hotel Bomb Attack by Cousin9999(op): 6:37pm On Apr 27, 2022
Ethiopian authorities have arrested four suspects in connection with the Sunday bomb attack at a hotel in the historic city of Harar.

In a statement on Tuesday, Harari Regional State Police Commissioner, Nesri Zekerya, said that the four suspects are being investigated.

“Police are monitoring the situation closely,” the statement added.

Eight people were injured after a bomb exploded inside the hotel in the capital of Harari Regional State, regional Police Commissioner said.

The explosion happened on Sunday night as Ethiopians across the country were celebrating the Easter holiday.

Four of the eight victims were treated for minor injuries and returned home immediately, while the rest remain in critical condition and are receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, the second in the region in less than two weeks.

Sunday night's attack comes one day after Ethiopian authorities announced the arrest of 34 suspected members of Al-Shabaab terror group.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Ethiopian National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) said the Shabaab suspects were planning to carry out terror attacks in various parts of the country during the Easter holiday.

Foreign Affairs › Exxon Makes Three New Oil Discoveries In Guyana And Boosts Reserves by Cousin9999(op): 6:26pm On Apr 27, 2022
Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) on Tuesday said it found oil in three new wells drilled off the coastof Guyana, raising recoverable oil and gas potential from its discoveries to nearly 11 billion barrels.

The discoveries continue a run of exploration successes that date to 2015, and lifts potential oil and gas volumes by nearly 1 billion barrels. Exxon and partners Hess Corp (HES.N) and CNOOC Ltd (0883.HK) are responsible for almost all oil and gas output in the South American country.

Guyana has emerged as a key source for Exxon's future production, with 31 oil discoveries in its giant Stabroek block so far. It and partners say they plan to pump 1.2 million barrels of oil and gas per day from the block by 2027.

Exxon discovered hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone at Barreleye-1, Patwa-1 and Lukanani-1 wells, it said.The new findings are located southeast of its existing Liza and Payara oil developments, Exxon's first and third projects in Guyana.

Liza Phase 1 is producing approximately 130,000 barrels per day using the Liza Destiny floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Exxon said.

Liza Phase 2, which started production in February, is steadily ramping up to its projected capacity of 220,000 bpd using the Liza Unity FPSO, according to the company.

A third project, Payara, is expected to produce 220,000 bpd. Construction of a FPSO for Payara is running approximately five months ahead of schedule with start-up likely before year-end 2023, Exxon said.

The fourth project, Yellowtail, is expected to produce 250,000 bpd when the One Guyana FPSO comes online in 2025, Exxon said.

One of South America's poorest nations, Guyana plans to use proceeds from its share of oil production to build roads, bridges, houses, gas-fired power plants and solar energy projects.

Guyana last week said it sold a 1 million-barrel cargo of crude oil that it calls Unity Gold through a competitive bidding process that Exxon won with a bid of $106 per barrel.

Exxon has made a final investment decision on four Stabroek block projects so far and has said the number could hit 10 production units.
