Still trying to learn this tech stuff after all these years. I make drinks, play games, practice Bass guitar and try to be a decent hooman daily.

South Africa has some of the most extreme wealth inequality in the world. This is a legacy of apartheid, which only ended in 1994.
But here's the thing:
The median Black South African family only has 5% of the wealth of a white family.
The Median Black US family, has only 6%.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️

When I was in 7th grade my science teacher had everybody write up the instructions for how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
Then, he brought in the ingredients and followed the instructions very literally to hilarious effect.
It was an intro to describing methodology, and a good bit

Black folk aren't as concerned about Trump the individual as white folk are. We're not.🤷🏿♂️
Because a lot of white folk in the US view Trump as the problem. They think he changed how white people think.
No.
Black folk know that the racism was always there. Trump just let them take the mask off.

Been playing with CachyOS (pretty cool honestly), Gentoo (learning and waiting), and just started nixOS (cause my kid did). Gaming is actually pretty functional.

If you are downtown looking for a good drink and atmosphere, I can recommend Shame&Regret, District Elleven, The Archives, and Cork n Cask. The Rabbit Hole is neat, ICONS is fun, Shrunken Head if you need a tiki vibe. Peace!

Glad to see (from what I've seen and heard) a really cool person arriving here. Recognizing you have support people I won't intrude...feel free to drop a line anytime if you want different food/drink ideas. Take care and have a great weekend.
