A dictator who has been in power for 22 years and who once claimed he would rule for a billion years, known for repression of the opposition and journalists among other things, has conceded defeat in an election.
It's hopefully a good precedent for the many other African leaders who have lost but have resorted to violence to remain in power, or to rigging an election. Go Africa !

And your 100 Bolivar bills are soon going to be void ?
How are people around you reacting ? Are they giving you enough time to swap them for coins ?

If you have a problem with a post, file a report or send someone a PM so as not to clog a thread.
Leave the moderating to the moderators.

I'm no fan of Buzzfeed either, but they have some suprisingly nice articles when it comes to actual journalism and not TOP TEN things you NEED to KNOW about 90'S VIDEOGAME somethings

Uber, what the hell are you doing ?
It's almost as if they're freely giving ammunition to the incoming administration, and Mr Exxon Secretary of State, who are going to show us how evil Uber and driverless cars are.

Magnitude 8.0 earthquake strikes 157 km east of Rabual, Papua New Guinea
I believe you folk are overreacting a little when it comes to the whole Buzzfeed thing.
I am not "playing moderator" nor any of that stuff, I was just reminding Hexadecimal that Buzzfeed is.... Well, Buzzfeed.
Look, if she still wants to share articles from that website despite of what I have to say on the matter, then do it. More power to her.
Seriously, why do you folk believe I am somehow attacking Hexadecimal's integrity as a person? That doesn't make any sense.
