M28 not interested in dating. Looking for female female friends to discuss psychology, history, politics, science and global politics.

This worked well last time. I’m Mike. 28. Work for an NGO (conflict research based in East Africa) but planning to move abroad for further education.

I’m interested in nature, psychology, books and TV. If you enjoy learning new things maybe we could share book, documentary or series recommendations. I love learning why human beings are the way we are and why we do what we do.

Currently learning French, German with plans of Arabic or Mandarin in the future.

It's strictly SFW (no sex or sexual content) but I would prefer you be female. Please be 24 and above. We can chat on discord, signal, Whatsapp or insta.

I don't mind if you have mental health challenges. I'm on the Autism Spectrum and have psychosis.

I'm Christian but you can be any religion I won't judge. Growing up as a child, was not allowed to interact with people outside my family so I am kinda quirky.

If you actually read this then when you reply share you ASL and let me know the following.

  1. The thing you are most thankful for in life right now.
  2. Your favorite book or TV Show.
  3. What is an embarrassing moment in your life that makes you cringe whenever you think about it?

Share your thoughts for my Research on Ugandan Wealth Inequality

Everyday in town I see all manner of expensive cars. It seems every week some new person gets rich, some new mall or apartment block or bar/lounge/restaurant is opened. There are even now many car bonds that exclusively deal in exotic cars. Then economists stand on TV and talk about GDP growth, with fancy graphs and pie charts.

Then at the same time I see an increase in the number of people carrying sacks and walking along the road looking for plastic bottles. I see an increase in idle youth around trading centers or in betting shops and a rapid increase in urban crime.

Uganda is definitely getting richer and many people are also getting richer in business, trade, production, services, value addition and ICT. The challenge I see and have studied is right now in Uganda, many people are falling through the cracks. Unlike in US or Europe we don't have a welfare safety net.

Instead of unemployment cheques or food stamps (USA) or state basic income (UK) or Burgergeld (Germany), Uganda launched programs like PDM, Emyooga etc. the challenge is these though good programs may have some gaps in implementation.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, even if you were rich, there was not much of a wealth gap. As Uganda has gotten richer as a country. We have seen more people becoming rich, we have also seen more people enter the middle classes. But we have also seen a widening of the gap between the extremely rich and the extremely poor.

I see a Uganda now where some legit business people have hundreds of billions in net worth and others have nothing or very little. This is not just in Uganda. It's global but I feel the African side of wealth inequality is not really told. Of course we are in a quasi capitalist-socialist-african traditionalist economic system. I would like to understand and interrogate this topic.

Is it an unintentional consequence of Uganda's economic liberalization and privatization?

Will the government try and address this wealth inequality when it has more money to spend on social equalisation for example PDM and Emyooga are only possible today because Uganda has more money to transfer to citizens?

Another example is the government of Uganda now investing in Airlines, Railways, Cooperatives, State Enterprises and Factories which it had to privatize and sell in the early 1990s to access IMF and WB Loans.

I am not looking to criticise the government. I am just trying to understand this topic and better inform people on how they can avoid being left behind.

I have the Musevenomics speech book and PowerPoint presentation I found on their website to understand the economic philosophy guiding the country. Are there any books or articles on Uganda you guys can recommend

I am also reading a lot of speeches on the economy starting from 1980s, 1993-94 when privatization of state enterprise was done.

End of the month be safe, set up protective financial systems and protect yourself from another month of hunger and begging and heartache stress

Guys we are approaching pay day this week for many of us. Please don’t gamble. Please if it is a big temptation as a family member or partner to hold the finances from you.

Save ourselves from another month of not being able to afford decent food or some new clothes or shoes or even underwear and socks.

Save ourselves from another month of high blood pressure and stress and late payments.

If you get your salary I encourage you to ask for someone you trust to manage it for you but I also encourage you to get a really nice meal for yourself. A really nice hearty meal that you earned from hard work.

A warm meal and cold juice or soda from money you earned on a hot day is the sweetest food in my opinion.

M4F looking for platonic friendship with someone interested in world history

I am m28 but it is hard to find anyone that cares about what I care about.

I don’t care about nationality, tribe, looks or if she has a job. I don’t even care about having sex.

I just want someone that is interested in history and geopolitics. Does she know about the causes of World War 2?

Is she passionate about understanding the history of African Revolutionary Ideology and the impacts of neo-colonialism on Africa?

I have muted all the big socialites in Uganda on Twitter and I don’t care about Kampala Bar culture?

I would just like to spend time discussing how the US-Belgium Led Assassination of Patrice Lumumba led to the problems we have in the DRC today and how we can solve them.

I will never ask you for nudes because I believe the most beautiful part of a woman is her mind. I am 100% straight male but I don’t like seeing nude people it turns me off.

I tried posting this on tinder but it was futile.

Ok if you don’t like any of the above mentioned and you would like to chat are you interested in studying human psychology? Do you watch random documentaries on varying topics? What are you reading now?

Are you a writer?

We can exchange book and documentary recommendations, occasionally a tv series or two.

The Paradise PDM business Challenge: 1m to 20m in 12 months

Hi guys. You might remember me from the 50k to 1m challenge in 3 months I did a while back on here. (Shoutout if you remember those posts cause I had deleted them) ​

President Museveni said Uganda is paradise and while I don't believe that because we have mega corruption and life is hard for many including myself. I don't judge people who go a broad. Many times I thought of going to be a driver or askari in the Gulf.

A but about myself. I am considered working poor. I earn 1m monthly but I'm tired of being paid once a month. Or 12 days out of 365 days in a year. ​​

We always see videos of people saying they got PDM money and now they have huge money so I said. "Why can't I try this out for myself." For the 50k to 1m in 3 months challenge I did it in an unfair way by betting. Please don't ask me for advice. I quit because it is aa terrible life even if you get cash.

So now I am challenging myself to turn 1m into 20m.

The rules. My investment can only be 1m but I can market for partners (friends and family not any company or outsider) but their contribution must be equal to shares they get so even if they contribute 1m and I use 2m and make 4m profit I have ​to share with them equally based on their shares.

Maximum allowed investment is 2m.

I am trying to do this like someone who gets PDM and maybe sells a cow to top up and start a business.

The time frame is 12 months and the target is 20m.

I am not allowed to invest outside money in the business. So everyothing from buying, processing, packaging and marketing has to either be from the 1m, free tools or things I already own like a phone and laptop.

My plan is to start with 1 business for 3 months then invest in another business for 3 months then another then another. By the end of 12 months I want to have 4 businesses running bringing bringing me to the total of 20m in 12 months.

I will be making monthly updates cause weekly is too hard. My starting date is July 1st giving me this month to conclude planning and topping up my savings.

No betting this time only legit and legal hustles

Tecno Canon 50 Pro

It was point and shoot. There is automatic AI post-processing. ​

I live in Africa so can't afford a new high end phone. was debating between a used pixel 7 pro, S22 Ultra or Iphone 13 but I settled on a new Camon 50 pro because of dual sim
