You may find the historical material realities of Ghana and Burkina Faso are drastically different as are their relationships with the “international rules based order” that determines legality and legitimacy in the eyes of the West.

No real experience but from what I keep hearing, dating apps are hell holes that commodify your identity in a really ugly way. First you have to think of yourself as a product for sale and market yourself as such, then, thanks to the way discovery and interaction works you’ll will be made to feel inadequate as part of their process to convince you to pay for “advantages”.

If you can, find dating events happening in the real world where you see people face to face. Singles nights, speed dating, whatever else there is… it’s going to be less humiliating than apps that are designed to prey upon insecurity.

Also hobbies and causes are a great way to meet people and remind yourself there’s possibility and purpose to seize upon outside of your current personal microcosm.

From the public adjacent bullshit jobs sector I can confirm you don’t have to jump through this many hoops. Worst is copy pasting everything from your resume into the web forms. They’re making the hiring process worse specifically for the hardest working least compensated jobs…

It’s hard not to assume some weird labor discipline angle to this.

The entire book is one of those semi abstract prestige TV intros like True Detective or House of Cards.
