Reply to comment by tyler1128 in Eli5 Why is there still a famine in Africa despite the fact that they have been receiving foreign aid for decades? by Illustrious-Pen9569
For a landmass of it's size, Africa has unusually linear coastlines with very few (compared to other continents) suitable seaports.

People don't realize how damn big Africa is. Thanks to the Mercator projection, a lot of people think it's smaller than Greenland.

Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy is a great album. A few skipables, but overall an enjoyable listen

There comes a time (for me it was mid-30s) when you don't really seek out new music. I'm definitely open to it and have discovered a lot of great new stuff, but I don't go looking for it like I used to.

I have to say that Agent Orange is an interesting inclusion (which I support wholeheartedly).

I once heard some science guy say that every fourth animal in the world is a beetle. I thought he said every fourth animal in the world is a meal, which sounded more right than beetle.

I haven't followed this whole thing too closely, but the fact she got 11 years tells me one thing: she must've stolen from rich people.

Most of the cartoons that I watched as a child were already 25 years old and made for adults. Yes, I still watch them.

I think movie studios fall into a formula every so often until someone innovative comes along and resets it.

Foreign aid is a mixed bag when it comes to endemic corruption. I'm not picking on African countries, there are nations with this problem all over the world. That money gets heavily raided before being turned into food. Foreign Aid isn't really intended as a gift or charity, in theory it's an investment.
