David NjokuI'm a rebel, baby. I'm revolting.
-------------------------------
I'm #British and #Nigerian. I work in IT, but would much rather be hanging out with my kids.
I listen to far too many #podcasts so I know a little about a lot, and a lot about very little.
David NjokuThere are around 200 countries on earth.
If you'd asked me to make a list of countries ranked from "most likely to meekly submit to autocracy" to least likely, I've gotta admit that I would've put America near the bottom.
Shows what I know.
David NjokuHere's a thing.
Not a single person who complains that new immigrants don't try to interact with wider society ... has ever tried to interact with a new immigrant.
David NjokuI'm in Prague with my ex and the kids. We're walking down a street and we approach a couple standing together. As we near them, my ex smiles at the woman and she smiles back.
"You look nice," my ex says.
"So do you!"
We continue on our way.
What's the compliment that one man can innocently give to another man? I can't think of any.
David NjokuIs the new War Of The Worlds movie so-bad-it's-good bad or so-bad-it's-terrible bad?

David NjokuWhat class are you (please vote below), and how do you define that class (please reply to this post)?
I'm also curious if you believe your a different class from your parents. If yes, what happened to cause that difference?

David NjokuIs there an argument to be made that if you're on Mastodon you're middle class? I know you're too modest to admit it, but we're a select group. We're not feral like those people on Twitter, or try-hards like the BlueSky lot. And don't get me started on Truth Social (shudder).

David NjokuWhat are the arguments for and against the rest of the world intervening militarily if a country is committing genocide against one of their own peoples?
Yes, I'm thinking of Gaza, but is what China is doing to the Uyghurs all that different?
One argument against is that it's difficult to get international consensus; however, is that an argument for sitting by and doing nothing?

David NjokuYou're on Mastodon so I'm guessing you're not too keen on AI. Why's that?
(Sorry, I only have room for 4 options below. Feel free to reply with other reasons.)
I'm curious as to why many people are virulently anti-AI. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve it, but I'm curious if the hatred is proportional)

David NjokuWhen you're in a bad relationship you fight every day over big stuff. And then you get so used to fighting that you start to fight over the small, inconsequential stuff too.
That's where America is right now. Focus, guys. No one gives a shit about Sydney Sweeney. Focus.
