Funnily, my family actually just experienced the plumber analogy.
The builders of the house they're renting chose cheep plumbers and cheap materials. The result? Almost a dozen separate leaks, and resulting in having to re-pipe the entire house.
You get what you pay for, and eventually you'll have to pay for the professionals to come fix the hack job.
My problem with Africans using Lee Kuan Yew as a stick to beat "African leaders" with is your lack of consistency. You hold him up as an example of a leader who did the things African leaders don't do, but you forget that to get Singapore to the point t he left it, he ran it as a laser-focused 1-party state with a ruthless focus on a single developmental strategy that nobody was allowed to oppose or deviate from.
Thus, instead of spending decades on the unfinished capital projects, financial waste, and expensive political theatre that comes with PDP vs APC or NDC vs NPP partisan politics, the whole of Singapore was forced to focus on national development and nothing else. If you tried to oppose Lee's national development plan in the name of "opposition", the state security services would arrest and detain you without trial, or publicly flog you and make you denounce your opposition.
When Kwame Nkrumah tried to institute something similar to make Ghana a laser-focused developmental state under his leadership - which was equal to or greater than Lee's - you bunch of idiots called him a despot and a dictator, and you collaborated with foreign governments to remove him in a coup, after which you came out into the streets of Accra jubilating and celebrating his downfall. And even up till now in 2026, after having 60 years to reflect on your history, you're still calling Kwame Nkrumah a "dictator" while simultaneously glazing Lee Kuan Yew, because you're hopelessly dumb.
You claim to admire Lee's Singapore because it followed a western approved, capitalist development plan, unlike those dirty Communists in China and Vietnam - but you have no idea that Lee's Singapore might be capitalist in name, but runs one of the most aggressively socialist governments on earth, with birth-to-death subsidies, state programs, government housing, guaranteed employment etc. If someone in your African country runs for election using Singapore's welfare state model as their manifesto, you bunch of idiots will immediately start chorusing "Who will fund this?"and" The problem with socialists is that they always run out of other people's money."
If I point out that Singapore can afford to subsidise everything for its citizens because it is a 1 party state that does not exist perpetually 4 years away from new leadership that can rip everything up, which allows it to make investments and plan with 15, 25, and 40-year horizons, instead of planning for how to use the latest IMF loan to win the next election in 18 months, the same idiots will say that they prefer their APC/PDP, NDC/NPP quadriennial stalemate instead of actual national development because "multiparty electoral democracy is the gold standard for governance."
You people have no idea what you want, and no idea how the world actually works. Everything inside your head is what some white dude dictated in there, because you were trained to receive instruction, not to think and create your own. That's why nobody takes you seriously.
Was going to install Niri just for its sick overview.
Decided instead to harass the big 4 models for a few days and vibecode a hyprland overview plugin.
And it actually works lmao
Did not expect a question that starts out 'Do you think before you speak?' to go so well. A+ question from Charlotte Harpur A++ response from Eileen Gu.
After multiple days of serious grinding in Blender—plus plenty NEPA wahala trying to kill my flow my @Mazerance#RancersRemix entry is finally submitted: UNRAVELLED 🔥
Remixed the official ref into a surreal 3D maze cube of fractured memories shifting impossible layers, characters trapped yet breaking free.
Key unlock: placed them inside custom puzzle pieces I designed and built myself, to show I've solved & pieced together the clues they left behind.
Proof of work video attached: full process time lapse compressed 100x... still ended up 24 minutes long 😅 All human made, no shortcuts, pure sweat (and gen fuel).
Just glad I managed to submit at the nick of time before deadline! Rancers, wetin una think? Does this capture the unraveling + memory piecing vibe? Drop comments 👇
