I hate my life. My future is dark and hopeless, there's nothing for me here. Everything is just dull and corrupt. I was meant to live in a first world country and enjoy those perks.
I am unfortunate enough to be born inside a third world underdeveloped unstable corrupt sub Saharan African country with the weakest passport. And it feels like my journey just ends where I was spawned because I just can't leave to first world due to visa restrictions.
The life I could have had if I were born in first world was so beautiful! I would have become a doctor with a house and have beautiful kids and live a happy fulfilling life. But unfortunately, I was unlikely enough to be born where I was born and I have to live with that fact for the rest of my life.
I see on social media people studying, getting good results, getting good jobs and changing their life for the better, traveling the world, etc... this just feels so out of reach for me just because of where I was born. Maybe in another life I will get to enjoy those perks.
Life is very depressing in a third world. I have the ability to learn work and change the world for the better, but can't because I'm trapped here with no resources, nothing to live off of. Ugh why does life have to be so unfair???
Ever since Upwork started to charge more connects per job proposal and since they stopped giving out 10 connects per month, my journey have gone downhills.
Honestly I don't think I'll ever see another contract on Upwork. My 8K$ earned Upwork account is being abandoned now. I just wish they could atleast give us the 10 connects per month so I can apply once every 2 months.
The worst part is as soon as Upwork started taking those measures I started losing clients as I was finishing up our projects. And when I apply with my remaining connects and money the saturation just pushed me down. I don't know what to do with my life now.
I can't go out and get a job because I live in a third world underdeveloped unstable corrupt sub Saharan African country with average wage of 50 USD per month. I'm lost.
I got this phone the year it came out, I got the 256/8 variant and it's still going strong! No lag, good battery, super fast charging, good camera, etc... I only use my phone for social media, call, SMS, and some light gaming and honestly I couldn't be more happier. It's just sad that I have to change it after 2 years cz Samsung will stop giving us security updates.
I'm in sub Saharan African country and I always see American fast food on social media and movies like Macdonald's, subway, taco bell, etc... What so they taste like?
American media and entertainment let us consume it, but we can't participate in it. Like what do you mean I can't order on Amazon cz it's not supported in my country, but the movies you show me have amazon online ordering.
What do you mean when I go to music section on my YouTube you show me Drake and Taylor swift, but I can never buy tickets to their concerts cz they never come to my country nor will I ever get a visa approval to attend them.
What do you mean when u gave us Nickelodeon and when I'm open it for my little brothers that you show them sweepstakes but they can't enter cz it's not for them but only for you?
Your culture is exported heavily and everyone consumed it, but we can't participate in it?
What do you mean you show me ads for a shoes I like and when I try to checkout you ask me for a zip code saying it's us only?
I wish I was born in USA
Idk how they let this happen for long. Try it yourself
This is very sad. To think even the latest ai model can't identify bias on the training materials
I am on a mission to build ad-free, no user data collection app that addresses issues you Americans might have. Voluntary Donation based model where donations goes to server, hostng, dev, subscriptions, etc...
Or even if you have an app that you use that has been abusing you in subscriptions or ads, drop them below and I might remake similar one.
Me it's when I learned about the lores by understanding characters in the game. It's well thought out.
I see him on twitter saying things like "this third world country will have more population than Europe we should do sth about it, this is urgent" type things. He frame it as if we are a virus that shouldn't populate.
Like we are worth less than the west's population. Now don't get me wrong, I've dealt with third world h@te for so long with international clients on freelancing sites. But we are talking about someone who is a trillionaire with virtually unlimited resources. I'm scared he might do sth about it to affect our health/fertility rate.
I have already instructed family members to only eat local produce and not imported items, especially anything from USA & Europe. Because who knows what he might be able to do. If he can display his dispair for so long on such public platform, who knows what he would take into his own hands.
The weirdest part of all this is that he understands why this happens, why third world will always have more fertility rate than first world countries, he said it himself. He is well aware that higher education, low on religion, and high income generally leads to lower fertility rate. Maybe he justifies his reasoning with the fact that third worlders have lower education and our contribution to the global innovation is low, but guess what dipshit, just cz we are not accelerating humanity to extinction doesn't mean we are worth less. It's you who has done more damage with AI data centers and USAID funding cut; than any illegal third world migratmes could ever done.
Now you can close your borders all your want and whine about fertility rate 24/7, but I have a strong suspicion that he's working towards affecting third world's health and fertility rate.
How do I fix it? it doesn't work on android, IOS, PC, and Mac devices. Is there a tutorial on how to fix it? I can't really buy a new one, I have to fix this and I need help.
Pretty much the title. I always dreamt of throwing my third world weak passport, curious what the process is like to get CBI. If you have details to share, please do!
There are a lot of freelancers who are not on Upwork simply because they ran out of Upwork connects. I am one of them. If Upwork lends connects for freelancers with good profiles, like solid portfolios, experience, certs, and testimonials, it will be a win-win situation. if someone from Upwork is reading this, please consider it or move the idea to the higher-ups. There are a lot of talented freelancers who are capable of bringing you tons of revenue by doing this. Do you see this play out in a good way if done with proper guardrails?
