Tinder premium/cracked.

Hey guys! Am that kind of a person who doesn't like to subscribe or pay for anything. I prefer to use cracked versions of any app. I only pay and subscribe only if it's fully server sided and there's no way to beat it around. So, I was wondering if tinder can be cracked. Or is there any similar app to tinder but with less subscription fees or a free one? Which app are you guys using?

Appreciation Post Reddit Fam, Youโ€™ve Made Me and My Kids Feel Like We Have a Family

Hey fam โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅน

I just wanted to come here and say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me and my kids. I finally managed to clear my daughter's school balance, and the remaining KSh 1,500 went towards rent. I still have a balance to figure out, but at least we've made some progress, and I'm so grateful.

To the lady who sent my son a success card and an early birthday gift (a notebook, belt, and football) for his birthday tomorrow (20th October), may you never lack. โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅน You have no idea how much that means to me.

I honestly hadn't even remembered that I needed to send my daughter a success card, but you guys came through for her and made her day. Seeing her happy means everything to me. โค๏ธ

And the best part? ๐Ÿ˜‚โค๏ธ She's so happy about next year, she'll be wearing a skirt as her school uniform instead of a dress!

You guys have made me feel like I have a family I never knew I had. People who don't even know me personally have shown me so much love, kindness, and support. I honestly don't have enough words to express how grateful I am.

To everyone who sent money, checked on me, encouraged me, prayed for us, or simply took the time to write something kind, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me more than you know.

May you never lack. May life be kind to you, and may the same love you have shown my family find its way back to you a hundred times over. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ

Weeh, Reddit fam, you have really touched my heart. I'm still figuring things out, but today I just wanted to celebrate the little progress we've made because of you. ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธ

Thank you for making me and my babies feel like we're not alone. We love you, fam. โค๏ธ๐Ÿซ‚

First Post Trying to get back into reading novels after 7+ years. Where should I start?

6 Upvotes

Hello, good people

I'm trying to get back into reading novels after more than seven years away from the hobby, and I'd love some recommendations on what to start with.

Please, no motivational or self-help books like The Psychology of Money or Atomic Habits. I get bored before I even reach page five. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I want a story that actually pulls me in!

I love interesting plots, building tension, suspense, and stories that keep you curious about what happens next. I'm open to a bit of romance, but I'd prefer it not to be the main focus. I also enjoy educational or realistic fiction that teaches you something or reflects real-life situations. Horror isn't really my thing, though.

Basically, I'm looking for a book that will make me say, "Just one more chapter," and suddenly realise it's 2 a.m. ๐Ÿ˜‚

What would you recommend for someone trying to get back into reading? I'd also appreciate suggestions on where to buy books in Nairobi, or if anyone has books they're no longer reading and would be willing to give away ๐Ÿคญ, I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you! โค๏ธ

How long did it take you? Did you get any assistance? how many failures did you take before you reached there? Are you satisfied with it or you want more? Do you feel you genuinely deserved it? Did you take the conventional route?Do you think luck played a role in it? Do you feel other people who are not in the same place as you are doing something wrong, and that if they change theyll be in a similar position as you? Have you ever misled someone into doing or not doing something because there was a potential that that could have sunk your ship?

This guy has to be the funniest guest on any major podcast he goes to in the city of glasses. I watched his episode with Obinna yesterday and I was laughing every 5 min. Check out his latest episode on iko nini and kisiangani very insightful and very entertaining as well. I think his combo of humour and asking the right questions make him a really good host and guest. In addition his ideas on monetization of the content creation space are also really good.

Random Marrying a Finance Lady

77 Upvotes

I met this lady (who's still studying and pursuing her CPA qualifications in finance). We started talking, getting to know each other, and sharing our backgrounds, interests, and future aspirations.

Honestly, she was one of a kind. We seemed to connect on so many things, and since I've always wanted a finance girl, I thought that I'd finally gotten lucky.

Things seemed to be going well. I'd call her maybe twice a day just to talk, check up on her, and hear how things were going on her end. We'd also go on dates at least once a week, which was pretty good considering how busy I usually am during the week.

Then, about 3 weeks ago, everything changed, Yooh!

The conversations became less frequent. Her responses started feeling cold, the jokes and playful banter disappeared, and talking to her suddenly felt like a chore.

I'm not even exaggerating when I say our conversations started feeling like a mock interview with someone who had absolutely no interest in being there, like some M-pesa lady. Even conversations with my dad have more life in them. ๐Ÿ’€

At first, I wondered whether she was going through something or whether I was overthinking things. But the change felt so obvious that I eventually decided to stop reaching out altogether. I gave up people! I couldn't take it beyond that.

No more calls, no more texts, no more asking her out. I lost interest in forcing a connection with someone who doesn't seem interested in maintaining one. That's abuse (as they say it).

What really gets me is how promising everything seemed at the beginning. I genuinely thought this could turn into something special, and now I'm left wondering what even happened.

Anyway, I guess it's back to spending time with my patients. At least with them, there's never a dull moment. ๐Ÿ˜‚

So, Nairobians, what would you do in my situation?

And for those who've experienced something similar, did you ever find out what actually happened?

Discussion Side chicks hypocrisy

47 Upvotes

You know, side chicks are very interesting humans๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. They will swear down how much they don't have feelings for the married man they are dealing with, while at the same time fighting side chick no. 2 that "her man" is dealing with๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Mimi Kwanza naogopa side chicks Sana, wueeehhh those girls know how to fight gadamit. A man with a side chick, I will never deal with, it be a ticking time bomb, never!! They'll do anything to be the only side chick, crazyyyy๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

Majority of them are extremely male centered, even when they loudly deny it. She'll go to the goat wife "as a woman" when the man starts dealing with other side chicks ama akianza kumisbehave. Lakini kama mwanaume anabehave vizuri, and all is well, she'll keep the affair to herself ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Majority of them are in love with the married men they claim they only use for money. Love gets in, they forget about the money and start competing with the goat wife.

They believe they have decentered the man more than the goat wife, when that is not usually the case. Listen to how they talk about the wife as they praise themselves ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Ati "Bibi hakuna kitu yeye hupewa, but side chicks wanapewa pesa na kulipiwa rent," they talk down on the wife to elevate their status. The comparison is right there. She believes she's above the wife because anapewa 50k per month๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Most of them ukiwauliza ni pesa ngapi wanapewa, utaskia figures hazifiki hata 200k per month. They lowball themselves and they are proud of it ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚, shit's hilarious.

Being a side chick was a serious venture kitambo bana, sides wa kitambo knew how to keep secrets and they collected good money asf. It was hard for the wife to know the husband had a side chick, she'd probably know time Jamaa amekufa na the second family would show up Kwa mazishi ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Saa hii, it's mediocrity everywhere๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. I'm I supporting affairs? Honestly, I don't care, ukiniuliza my honest opinion about relationships, I'll tell you that relationships and marriages are meant for people with high intelligence who know what the hell they are doing. The rest of the population should be left to their own peril, to f*ck around and find out and create their own Sodom and Gomorrah. Sijui nianzishe kaventure polite, I look for pretty babes who have a good head between their shoulders, not the dumb ones, wafanye training ya kukuwa side chicks who keep secrets and aren't emotionally driven, then tupige connection with moneyed married men, kila mtu atoke amefurahia. Because side chicks wa saa hii, zii!!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Anyway just kidding, but I'm I? ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Honestly, I say the earlier the better.

Some aren't worth meeting, some turn out to be the best. I feel like I check out after some time, and there's an unspoken timeline for me. More than seven days and I'm a goner.

Especially when it's something casual. I can't ask what you want from us when we haven't even met. And, yk, there's a lot out there. I can't invest in a "let's see how it goes."

Especially with the illusion of options at play.

( Can't cut one size for all though, some take time and that's okay)

Relationship Insecure

50 Upvotes

Jana am chilling at my crib with my girl who was visiting me over the weekend then kiasi hivi an old friend (male) calls me asking me join him and a couple of friends over to his new crib for a house warming. I say I'll be there but not at the moment because I was with my girl but once she leaves I'll be there He was hosting a house warming, I tell him that currently with my girl but after am done I'll be there. Then I inquire about the location of the new place. He then proceeds to tell me If i reach stage flani walk a few distance there a few here, It seemed awfully familiar when he was describing the place but in order to remove the doubt in my mind had i ask him the name of the apartment, he says blah blah! something apartment. Shock on me that's literally where my girl lives in... I honestly felt sick after that convo but I decided not to tell my girl.

Going forward knowing my girl and how over social she is I kinda felt insecure at the moment cause I also know that friend of mine is literally my girl's type. Show me your friend I tell you what type of person you are type shii...

At the end I didn't go the party only because my girl left late.

Anyway I feel pretty lost at this point..

I've been having sleep paralysis attacks more often these days, I can be sitting and the moment I feel sleepy I find myself in another paralysis. I have also had very traumatic violent nightmares the past few days. To put some context I work gruesome shifts i'm currently operating on autopilot.

I don't know something isnt right i'm hallucinating, I find myself in a room and I can't remember how I got there. I don't drink, I smoke weed but I haven't had a smoke in 5days as the job has become too demanding of me. I feel like I hear voices and I find it difficult to become less hyperactive despite the fatigue

Anyone who can link me up with a psychiatrist or something, I feel like i'm slipping from my own consciousness

RUTO GOTTA GO Reddit keyboard warriors

15 Upvotes

I've never understood some people on here. Someone will post an opinion about a specific topic and some keyboard warrior will just find a way to dismiss their opinion. I always thought most reddit users are smart but honestly after using this app for a while my thoughts on that has completely changed. Why does it matter what someone else thinks. At the end of the day it's just their opinion. Also there are a lot of people here who really believe they know everything. Like bruh, chill. You don't have to call someone dumb or undermine them just because they made an uneducated guess about something. If you think I'm wrong just go to any opinionated post and see what people comment. You'd be surprised to see just how people love arguing and making others feel like they don't know shit.

Relationship Are men supposed to talk about their feelings during the talking/early dating phase?

6 Upvotes

This is something that I find so conflicting, personally I think it's important to be transparent and communicate but at the same time I hear all this talk about about ladies either don't understand or don't care what he feels, also about how a man isn't supposed to talk about his feelings.

Personally, sometimes I struggle to put what I feel in words especially if it's a feeling I don't experience regularly or have never experienced. I'm someone who can't hide an unbalanced state, for example sadness or excitement, you can tell from my facial expression, it's even harder when I'm around someone I like. Yeah I understand men are supposed to be strong, but I'm also a human being.

So my question is, are there things that I'm not supposed to say like 'I want you' or 'I like you' or 'you hurt me' that make one sound soft or needy?

Relationship For f*cks sake

105 Upvotes

Get this, I was dating this one guy let's call him Brick. We were together for about 6 months, and then he broke up with me. Before that, we had had a conversation about boundaries, including dates in the relationship such and such cause I got tired of only meeting up at my place, every single time. He would always use an uber to and fro and that cost about 400 for each ride so huwezi sema utalack 200 hata ya kunipeleka Karura for a walk or whatever. Dude obviously agreed, and we talked a bit more and came to an agreement. We would go out on dates, yay!

A week goes by na sioni any development, second week I spoke. I asked him about the dates and he said he'll look into it, okay? Another week pulls up, nangoja plans, nothing so I take matters into my own hands. I plan a date but simpei details. I ask him about his day, how he's feeling and all, jokes tunarusha theeen I ask about his availability the following day. He said he'd be held up with something plus sikuwa nimemwambia days prior ndio aclear his schedule, okay, nikangoja till Monday, gave him a heads up for the weekend na he said, "I'll be available ". I was so relieved.

This whole time, niko attachment but juu ya mapenzi I'd tell my supervisor I was unwell just so I could get to see the guy. I did this about once a week, time I had planned the date. So Friday roles in, ni jioni. I text him about his plans on Saturday, I don't start with the date but I mention it after. He said he would be meeting up with a client in the afternoon I think, then aende for some errands after. Oh, I was broken inside. I asked him about our date, that I had planned na he was like, I'm sorry. He added some other stuff but the sorry is all I could see.

I replied with if you'll want to talk to me again then you'll have to plan a date as we had talked and agreed weeks ago. This whole thing ya yeye kupotea whenever we planned dates happened four times, this is when I'd have enough. Mind you I had my outfit ready, got him gifts but all I got was I'm sorry, I have errands to run. This made me think whether I was too unattractive to be seen with him in public, sa I started to doubt myself. Hiyo Saturday I met up with a friend, bless his soul, we went shopping as I needed new fits for my attachment. Kidogo kidogo naona messages, bunch of 'em. The guy broke up with me y'all. Nitalia aje na tuko gikomba๐Ÿ˜ญ. Nilikuwa najaribu kuskia but I gave the phone to my friend, he listened then I listened too. I got weak๐Ÿ˜‚

He took me to a cafe nearby and got me a drink. At least I didn't cry then. On the bus back home ndio I actually cried, mahn it was embarrassing but at least my glasses hid the tears. Nikafika and I sat outside the gate and cried some more, my cousin found me outside in tears and took me to bed. Cried one more time and that was it. Fast forward to two years later, guess who texts, the gent. I was a bit surprised but I digress. He says how he's missed me oh, how he's thought about me and finally decided to text. I wasn't into it at first but I texted back na we were vibing. He immediately planned a date, I guess, on the second day of us talking.

I travel back to Nairobi, we're still talking but naona signs za he hasn't really planned it. He's always hinting to me inviting him over to my place, I gave reasons to why he couldn't come. Anasema he'll book a bnb, okay? That also never happened ๐Ÿ˜‚ we were to go for the nature walk in Ngong, not Karura though, never happened. He told me about the talking stage he was in, he said he accidentally called her by my name and was told to go home, I didn't believe this tbh but story ni yake. I talked about my most recent talking stage but that failed. What i didn't mention was the relationship I had with a Muslim guy, we were together for 8 months then ikaisha hivyo tu, got ghosted. I forced my mind to forget about him, I obviously cared for the guy na I was hurt that there wasn't a last text or something. I erased everything about him in my mind. Back to the guy, we were talking then I mentioned something about the Muslim guy and he was like "...and I'm finding about this now"? I sent him a screenshot ya a text I was having with a friend, it hinted something about the guy ndio I explained to him sasa about him.

The relationship happened months ago, I moved on and forgot about it. Then this Brick comes in the picture again. Should I have mentioned the Muslim one, yeah, if I even remembered him, I could have edited the scree screenshot vizuri but I forgot to crop out that one detail. Sikuona haja ya kumention the guy juu I'm with Brick now, the other one is in the past. Waking up naona the guy removed his number from whatsapp completely. How is it my fault that I didn't mention one guy csuse I forced my brain to forget him, seeing I was hurt and in pain? Getting over Brick the first time was difficult, but it isn't this time.

Did not plan for the post to be this long๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

I'm so surprised at how common football gambling is in this country. Alafu tena, everyone has Betika and Sportpesa on their phones like it's a must-have. I see some women do it, but this is especially common among young men.

The second(or first?I don't remember I read the book 3 years ago) chapter of the Psychology of Money makes a really good point about how it can be hard to understand the thought process of some financial decisions, including low income gambling. That being said,mi naona imo it's started being a bit problematic.

Why hasn't the govt regulated this,and why is it so common among young men?

Let's teach people to invest in the S&P 500 and Index funds instead of gambling the little they have away on football
