Something I'VE been thinking for awhile by TORNADO_IN_MY_ANUSin AdviceAnimals

How long as this meme been circulating for? I just noticed that you can seem him handing Neo the pills in the reflection. YESSSS, go me!

Christian-to-English dictionary: "Know in my heart" by antitheist33in atheism

[–]Outofmany -1 points0 points ago

Well I'd like to point out that, yes actually Christians know that they are doing this. They are aware that they could live their lives using proof and logic etc. The fact is that they choose to rely on an intuition, faith etc they are proud of this fact because they believe that god exists on a higher plane that they can get in touch with using feelings. It may or may not make sense to live in this way but it's an idea. What is your idea? Is it better? How do you know?

Well because the skyline is a bit taller, the buildings look more modern. When I was kid, the Pearl building was really the landmark.

I am not really a detective I just happened to have recognized the city in the photo having grown up there.

Yes it is real unfortunately. I left a year or so before things got so infamously out of hand so I am not really the right person to describe that side of things. I specialize more in the good ol' days. But I may consider it as people have the wrong idea about life in Africa. Mud huts and such..

Yes been there. A very hot place.

It's largely made up of British ex-pats so things have tended towards the blander traditional foods what you would find in Britain today. The African community eat a largely sustenance, corn based diet - which they make into a kind of mashed potato dish which they eat by hand and dip into sauces and things. There is a fair amount of wild game available which is dried whole into a kind of jerky - I like it better though. The produce is wide ranging and is all excellent as is the local domestic meats. Lack of diversity but pretty great quality all round. When I was there there was some interest in African fusion food - largely game meat, ostrich, crocodile. Very similar to what you might expect from Australian food.

I guess that's pretty funny. I expected maybe 300 karma off this - that would be a really good response by my standards. It's definitely a change to have your mail box flooded with positive comments.

For sure the "When-wes" I was told about that. But it does make sense to me, although similar I find South Africa and Zimbabwe to be quite different.

Probably a combination of things. Zimbabwe is really chilled out place and the people are super friendly and open. It's semi-tropical so you get these magnificent afternoons and evenings when the weather is so perfect with just a little humidity - lots of colorful plants and mind blowing sunsets. There are just a lot of days where you feel like life cannot get anymore perfect. A real grounded feeling.

We could have been South Africa's Canada.

It's most likely the top of a pretty well known hotel in town.

[–]Outofmany 29 points30 points ago

I think definitely, Miekles. It's pretty likely as that is generally considered the best hotel in town.

More like, how did I not do that. I grew up there, I spent more time googling right the images.

[–]Outofmany 2 points3 points ago

I was going to mention this. That is the Meikles hotel which has been considered the only true 5 star hotel in town.

I can tell you that he is not at the US embassy, but I suspected it was from that angle as well. It's actually overlooking Africa Unity Square.

Yes sorry about that. The city was also Salsbury as well.

Well, having grown up there, it's a bit of a special place for me. I was a wee lad around the time that that photo was taken, but I can see your dad definitely has his Harare groove on. Nice to be able to relate it as a real place not always as the punchline of an economic joke. So thank you too.

That would be Harare, Zimbabwe - I can tell because of that little pyramid with the ball stuck on top. That is the Pearl Building.
