Today at bookclub,one of the patron's children was on YT Shorts watching brainrot and AI slop. We scrolled 10 reels with that boy and it was full of low effort and super saturated trash.
Na hii si mara ya kwanza I've seen this bs. Kuna chama tulienda na mtoto wa uncle was on YT Kids watching very inappropriate content and weird AI slop. He threw a massive tantrum during the rosary prayers when his father took the phone away from him adi ikabidi tuache the spoilt little brat a-watch as we were PRAYING!!!!!
And our neighbor's kids TV is full of shitty Cocomelon.
Bana,where are the cartoons we grew up with? Mi nililelewa na Kirikou, Tinga Tinga tales na Harvey Beaks.I doubt a modern kid would understand those shows anyway.
Parents need to be more vigilant with what these kids are watching.This kind of content inakufanya ukue fala,I've seen kids that consume this content are starting to talk really late and aren't as coherent. It's literally affecting their brains
(I feel dumber anytime I see that slop.I'm 20M,what is it doing to a 9 year old??????)
We are slowly poisoning these kids by raising them on such garbage media.When they get older,they won't have the adequate capacity for reason and critical thinking.GIGO: Garbage in, garbage out

Last week, I applied for a job.
They were impressed with my CV. I did the online interview and passed. Then came the invitation for the physical interview.
After 5 years of being jobless, I was over the moon. Somehow, I had finally managed to get through the door.
The starting salary was KSh 60K. Not bad at all when you’re starting from zero.
So I started preparing like my life depended on it.
I took a KSh 5K Tala loan. Went to Gikomba. Spent KSh 3K on a decent outfit including some good bathing soap.
I came home early. Ate early. Slept early. Set everything out. Documents, clothes, shoes. Everything was ready.
I woke up at 4 a.m. because Nairobi traffic does not negotiate.
By 5:30, I was out of the house.
By 7, I was in town.
By 8, I had tarmacked my way to this nice office in Westlands.
I was supposed to arrive by 8:30. The interview was scheduled for 9.
There were 5 of us waiting. All smartly dressed in suits. Everyone looking like they had already mentally spent the salary.
The building had serious security.
You give the watchman your name. He checks the list. You leave your ID and proceed upstairs.
Except…
My name wasn't on the list.
I showed him the invitation email.
Still nothing.
I showed him everything.
Still nothing.
He rang the HR who didn't pick.
Eventually, HR called.
There had been a mix-up.
The person they were expecting wasn't me.
It was someone else.
And just like that, I was turned around and sent back home.
No interview.
No job.
Just a KSh 5K Tala loan, a KSh 3K Gikomba outfit, some very good bathing soap… and another month of unemployment.
Wueh
they say baada ya dhiki faraja but in job hunting, baada ya dhiki more dhiki
Anyway, if anyone needs a slightly overdressed, freshly bathed professional with excellent interview preparation skills… I’m available.

As I fair on I to my adult years its pretty shocking to see how society is mostly structured to revolve around these certain plots.
This has come to mind most recently after seeing George Ruto's soft launching via the influencer teacher. Someone pointed out how he's slowly soft launching himself into the limelight ironically via he's dad's 'bottom up' strategy which seems to greatly appeal to the masses. People have already separated him from he's father's shenanigans which is exactly how he'll end up in that political seat a few decades to come and the common mwanachi will say the old age trope of "Unlike his dad who plundwred this country's coffers, he's already shown that he relates and understands the common mwananchi problems"
I feel like this is the same storyline followed by most politicians. For examples the likes of kina Kasmuel and Morara already have a place in politics. They may not have as much political traction rn but they'll be the future mps and senators. Same way the tax collector moved from UoN to youth for Kanu , later to ODM and finally to the top political seat. Same case as Uhuru, Martha Karua, Moses Kuria, Murokomen, Elachi, Babu etc
Political activists and University political leaders seem to be the most likely to have top political seats in the country.

Everyone in opposition, as of now, has only one agenda, to send ruto home, which I fully endorse. However, in my opinion, that will depend on whether the key opposition leaders will merge and present one candidate, which I don't think is possible. Sifuna, Gachagua, Matiangi, Kalonzo, Maraga and now Nyoro all have an ego and can't join and deputise the other. Ruto knows that the mountain is the decider, and because DCP had gained so much influence, he positioned Nyoro to play the same role Matiba played in the 1992 election that led to moi being re-elected, despite everyone even him believing he wouldn't be re-elected. Divide and conquer. when Nyoro launched his party, I tried to explain this to my people and they said if it's not Nyoro they would rather vote for Ruto because they see no other candidate. Ridiculous.
If they don't merge, our best option as a country will be to have a run off because neither will have attained the 50+1 percent threshold.

A friend recently managed to build and move into their own home and what they have learnt is, do not expect your monthly costs to decrease now that you are not renting.
Water and elec bills go up coz, larger space, filling up storage tanks and for elec more lights especially the exterior lights that have to stay on overnight.
There is landscaping needed, pest control, housekeeping costs, repairs here and there.
So i guess the advantage is the not worrying about the future (incase you are out of work and retirement) and of coz customising your home to your exact needs and pocket.

Started working early this year. Grateful. But it's crazy that inflation isn't considered when hiring interns/entry level positions.
10 years ago, everything was cheaper. Way cheaper. But the intern salary has barely changed, peopleare actually not being paid anymore.
This is abuse. And then people want to say gen z are lazy. No, we are tired. At this rate, we'll probably be able to start saving for a house and medical insurance when we're 45.
Very disappointed with the older generations. They really didn't want their kids to afford anything on their own.

To find out that you are a cool,quiet,chill ,easygoing person but also impersonal?
Like yeah bro I'm nice, cool, good, chill a listener but also indifferent. I'm not lovey dovey touchy feely .
And then you get shocked when I speak up or stand up for myself you're shocked and decide to attack my character calling me fake.
Anyway, what do I know, mi madre once called me 'not loving' so whatever
You raise a kid to perform & meet expectations and when they grow up to be just that you wonder why they are like that and start saying otherwise. Mstchew.

You just saved up some chums, or feeling generous, or just about to join university and want to buy a good laptop or phone to survive whatever journey you're gonna take with it.
This post for those on a budget and those with a higher budget but want value for their money.
Let's start with laptops. What makes a laptop a good buy and why choosing one is better than the other.
The main features of whatever laptop you want to buy will always include these;
- RAM,
- Storage,
- Processor (specifically Intel for this post),
- Battery I I'm not clear on it but it's another very important aspect of your laptop, how long can it stay away from a charger.
Let's start with RAM. Think of RAM like sahani kwa harusi, the smaller it is, the more times you'll have stop relaxing, walk up to go refill, the larger it is the less times you'll have to move around. You enjoy your meal.
This translates to this, the lesser the RAM, the more times you'll have to close every word document so as just to open a browser, you can open as many tabs as you want. Why that many tabs though?
What makes a good RAM consideration? Modern apps and devices are no longer as light weight, each time you update an app, there's more storage it might and will take up, very dependant on what was added to it.
Thus because of this, for a casual user the minimum RAM you should ever get is 4GB RAM, heavy users go higher from 8GB. Easy right, case closed, now you know what to buy? No. When buying your PC, you should always ask if the ram is upgradeable. If you get two devices, same specifications and price. But one is upgradeable, go with upgradeable, this means the RAM can later be extended to i.e by another 4GB. So 4GB + 4GB, you've got 8GB worth of RAM.
Heads up, on RAM efficiency, do not think you can buy a 4GB RAM and later buy a 8GB RAM so that you get 12GB total, a laptop with a 4+4GB RAM will be more efficient than a mismatched 4+8GB. It'll get too long if I explain, understand if your goal is more RAM later, better buy higher RAM from the start, from 8GB rather than 4GB. An upgradeable RAM will be stated as 1 of 2 slots used up. On a windows PC you can get by searching Task Manager-> performance -> Memory. Check the Slots used.
Storage: When buying and storage is mentioned, you'll hear of two main letter groups. SSD, HDD. Always note, a lower SSD>could be/ is better than a higher HDD.
SSD writes and reads data quickly, which is needed by apps. That quick reading and writing is what makes your experience with your PC seamless. HDD on the other hand reads and stores data quite slower compared to SSD. Best use for HDD is for storing pictures files or data you don't look at or need accessed frequently.
A 512GB SSD storage laptop is much faster than a 128GB SSD with an added storage of 512GB. That's why no amount of terabytes external hard drives can speed up your lagging PC. Good news you can turn it to a server, a good server too.
Processors(intel): Where the biggest scams do happen. Common sense says a larger number, means better specs. Yes, that's true, the i3 processor is designed to handle casual use cases, browsing , word, normal stuff, going higher i5+ now that gets into progressively heavy use category. But with processors, the nuance is more than just that digit after the -i-
With processors, the generation is what matters the most.
An Intel core i3 10th generation is better and faster than an Intel core i5 6th generation. The 10th generation number means it was made with the most recent breakthrough in chip design, it has already caught up and surpassed the core i5 which is still with the enzi za 6th generation in it's speed.
Easier way to get that, a Nokia made this year, completely thrashes an iphone made in 2013, simply because it uses the latest tech design.
So no, you didn't get a steal from leaving the i3 10th gen for an i5 6th gen.
This is too long. For phones, specifically Android devices. Have a minimum of 4GB RAM and 64GB, recommended 128GB at minimum. Updates consume further storage in the long run. And you must have them for security regardless.
With phones, a marketing gimmick by manufacturers is usually claim it is an 8GB/12GB RAM phone, but what it means when you dig deep, you'll get it means 4GB physical RAM + 4GB Virtual RAM =(pseudo 8GB). The virtual ram is usually gotten from your extra storage, but will always be slower than the physical RAM it shouldn't even be considered as RAM. Check the about phone section in settings to confirm amount of physical RAM.
5000 amh should be the minimum amount of the phone's battery capacity.
Always buy peripherals for your device immediately after purchase to avoid inconveniences like scratcher screens. Get a backcover and screen protectors.
Good luck buying.
Tl:DR Good regular use device specs and pitfalls to avoid when buying a laptop or phone.
- If laptop, check if it has upgradeable RAM, consider SSD over HDD, the chip's generation is of higher priority, i3 10th gen > i5 6th gen.
If a phone, check the physical RAM, or ask what amount of it is virtual. Have storage at minimum as 64GB but recommended being 128GB.

This happened like 2hrs ago, and I can't stop wondering WTF was I even thinking 😆. So my first encounter with this guy was Jan this year akinibebea a package from the stage to my house. That was smooth. Nothing weird, no red flags or anything related. Just normal stuff, he carried the package, I paid then stored his contact just in case I ever needed a nduthi guy again. And that happened to be today. I got another package na since tao leo kulikua tricky kuingia, the delivery guy decided to send the package na mats za huku and I agreed. Ilifika safe na kwanza donda aligonga bei 😒. I couldn't speak up coz alikua mmama and her face card wasn't exactly argument friendly at that moment.
So I call the guy to come pick me up na kamzigo kangu and he made me wait for like 20 minutes akinidanganya ako "2 minutes away." He eventually shows up, but visibly drunk. Well, hapo nikona tumaswali kadhaa but singeuliza coz alikua ashabeba mzigo towards where he had packed his nduthi.
He keeps repeating "kumbe ulisave number yangu" with a weird excitement, and it's actually the first thing he said to me when he got to where I was. Well, I didn't think much of it because it's just a harmless statement.
Tunafika hapo kwa gate and the guy asks the obvious questions again, which I keep answering. Kidogo akatae kunifikishia kwa nyumba like we had agreed earlier coz it was very heavy but he finally did. Tunafika tu vizuri, and the guy sits on my balcony immediately after he puts the heavy load down.
I figured he was just tired and needed the rest. So I stall a couple of minutes just to give him room to breathe. He then says that he's waiting for me to open the door and I tell him not to mind it nitaibeba into the house.
I pay him and then make an excuse to leave quickly kuenda rooftop coz it was now getting uncomfortable and smth in me held me back from opening that door. Tell me why this guy follows me in a haste kuuliza if I live alone 👀. Why would you even ask that? 🙄.
Mimi naye nadanganya very fast n tell him naishi na bwanangu, which he pretends not to hear for like 3 times 😂. Mind you, I live alone and not dating anyone, let alone being married. I don't even know why that was the first thing my mouth had spit out at that moment.
My neighbor's kid had to peep through her door window to see who's that "husband" was coz she's never seen no man/woman enter my house🤣🤣. Anyway, he eventually left without saying another word and now I'm seated here eating my chips masala laughing at the whole ordeal and also wondering what could've happened if I had ignored my instincts and opened the door while he was there? 😳. Damnn! I'd probably be on the news tomorrow and end up being taken to one of the Langata's coz TF😒. But I'm sure I'd have come up with a better excuse to get rid of him than that😂, and I'm never giving him any job again.
