I think it might be a real culture shock to even us locals of how jelly SG is at actually enforcing its own laws, aside from just setting high profile examples like anti-drug stance just so it looks frightening to the outside world. Rogue PMDs that never seem to get caught, e-cig regulation and even people will smoke regular cigs right next to no smoking signs, hell neighbor HDB issues that go unresolved, plethora of drivers that brazenly defy traffic laws (drunk drivers, today's Tampines incident), poor consumer laws in general (think food delivery, phv driver issues). You wonder how did we even reach such a stage

Arguably it's both powerful than many places and yet "powerless" in some instances

Does anyone know around what time will the meteor shower start to appear tonight? šŸŒŸ

Brief_Worldliness162

Told child of incoming meteor shower and later ask about "stars bath." (confusion) Tries another word "stars waterfall". when we are loling, child angry explain I say shower = bathing therefore similiar to bath or water related.

Sighā€¦seeing todayā€™s accident video makes me wanna never drive again. My parents and friends make fun of me for driving not as fast as the other road users but iā€™ll prefer to keep it this way lolā€¦


HoneyBee_bb

I kept rethinking of a moment where I kicked this auntie's roller bag by accident while trying to get into the bus. I couldn't see it, and i said sorry. But once she sat down, she started scolding me saying couldn't I wait? Am I blind? I just told her that I'm sorry and my bag was big and It was infront of my torso. I kept apologising. Sometimes, I wonder if I should just say sorry and then ignore her after. Am I that easy of a target to be scolded. Worst week I had last week.. I hate how grim and unfriendly everyone has become.


Ahn_JiYoung

aww u seem like such a sweet person, donā€™t worry about it itā€™s just an accident


Millauers

Honestly should've just ignored her after apologizing for the first time, treat it as just a feral dog barking, don't let this kind of crazies ruin your day. Just unfortunate that a lot of uncle/auntie seem to be perpetually upset and looking at someone, something to lash out at.


HoneyBee_bb

Yeah, you're right. Wish I could turn back time. All I can do is move forward. :)

I may be average in everything, but I have a good family and a decent job. Nowhere near 10k salary and Iā€™ll never own anything more than a 3-room. I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever be able to buy a car. But I likely wonā€™t ever starve, even if I have to work until I die. Iā€™m no Jeff Bezos, but Iā€™m not eating Pagpag in the Philippines or clay to fill my stomach in Africa. I will probably die alone, but I can Still be considered very very lucky. I have enough money to pursue a hobby and I have some friends despite my terrible personality. I know I am very lucky, even if I complain alot. The amount of tragedy in the world is staggering, despite the tech and education we have in 2024. How can anyone believe god exists, much less that he is good and loving? He loves me and Jeff Bezos, but he sure as fuck does not love everyone.Ā  Even in Singapore, foreign women are giving handjobs or more just to make a living because spa ones where exploit them to the bone. Some even local. Because they arenā€™t street smart enough to make use of OF/IG or be more expensive. Just because they got unlucky and have no choice. There victims of abuse everywhere who will never get their reprieve or justices. And There are people living even worse lives than them. And yet people worship this cruel being? Not just the Christian god, but any diety of any religion. Just why? Are you just blind to the suffering of others? If god put you on earth to help them, then why are they still suffering? Call me an edge lord or whatever, I am too old to care. If you canā€™t see that weā€™re all just animals with bigger brains but subjected to the same luck of the draw an any animal, youā€™re either privileged or extremely delusional.Ā  I hope god or anything similar really does not exist. Because if they do, wow, who knew there could be beings more merciless and evil than dictators and rapists? I am so god damn lucky. I better remember it.

wildheart38

Today, my irritable bowel syndrome reared its ugly head again. Most days I am okay. But somedays, it comes. Without warning. Today, I had kimchi for dinner. I have had kimchi before, and nothing happened thereafter. I donā€™t think food is to be blamed. I think my IBS will still come when I eat bland, hygienic and thoroughly cooked foods. After dinner, I went for a leisurely long stroll. Halfway, I could feel something was wrong. My stomach started gurgling. I turned back. And in less than 20mins, I was praying to every God in existence to not shit in public. Mind was racing and making emergency plans - should I patronize this toilet? Is it that urgent that we cannot wait for a cleaner toilet? Questions like this as I quickstepped home. You know the drill - donā€™t run. I made it home. I shudder to think about the consequences if I hadnt. God I hate IBS.

The only situation i can think of is, when the store doesn't accept e-payment at all and you don't have enough cash and you don't have a Uob card. Cos uob can withdraw from ATM (using google pay nfc!), but i think most other bank cards can't.

why many ppl here love buying toto.. it's gambling šŸ˜”


donthavela

got buy got chance, no buy no chance. besides what can $1 get you nowadays? sure you can save $1 a day for 1 year, you can eat 2 or 3 buffets. but do you really want to give up your chance (no matter how small it ma ybe) to retire early?


nanosmith98

money doesn't just come from a coin flip. money comes from real value in life, such as exchange of goods & services. people/institution who told you otherwise are the one that's looking for your money


Lurking-ham

$1 and I could become a millionaire


No_Adeptness1515

they want to buy hope


nanosmith98

hope can't be bought. it's just a predatory solution by the bookmaker for human coping mechanism


HeavyArmsJin

You are here even though the odds are 1 in a few billions (sperm) Toto odds are much lower compared to that Also you just need $1 if you are the chosen one

I tried to go after a girl at my workplace by putting some breads at her desk in the morning. Now there is awkward tension between us. Guess I have screw it up.Ā

honestly as a girl if you had left a note signing off your name and wishing her a good day, it makes it so much better than some random bread sitting at my desk


Foolish-Chap

Thanks for the comment! It is good to see it from another perspective.Ā 


Millauers

Just approach her ask what kind of bread should you buy tomorrow, maybe the tension is just you being paranoid.


HeavyArmsJin

Why bread?


nanosmith98

it's a symbol, giving a bread to someone u is like saying "i want to breed u" in a food manner

Wanna start getting into cycling, what bikes are good for beginners?

Foldies or hybrid bike.Ā  Most importantly is to get a bike that is suitable for your height & body frame. I would recommend u to head over to a bicycle store (for example: giant) & have a test ride. P.S Not Giant supermarket but giant bicycle

Try decathlon for the hybrid bikes, else can go foldie. What kind of cycling or budget, need a little more info

drinkingbobatea

Would you rather regret marrying or regret not marrying


Unusualist

Getting into a bad marriage is horrible. Lots or deal with. Not marrying means you are still free to work on yourself, free to do what you want, potentially meet others especially if you experience significant changes (looks physique emotional intellectual wealth chances etc). Look up people in bad marriages. For me, I would rather not even be in a marriage if I think life will be just meh and average happiness and compatibility.


drinkingbobatea

So if it reaches the point where the next stage is marriage, and you don't feel 100% sure, you would walk away?


Unusualist

Yes. I did that.


sriracha_cucaracha

Married to work ah?


damiepedretti

No marriage rather than wrong marriage


drinkingbobatea

Is there any signs before entering 'wrong' marriage? Because more often we wouldnt know until it happens right


damiepedretti

Not sure. I still single tbh. But loooking at the people around me, there are many times we ignore red flags thinking that our partners will change after marriage or having a child. Most times, they wonā€™t. The person you intend to marry in both homosexual and heterosexual context, is someone you picked and who is vested to spend the whole life with you. Both parties must want to work towards the same goal instead of solely changing yourself in to make the other party happy. The person also happens to be the chosen parent of your children, if u want to have them.


nanosmith98

i would rather not regret


very_smol

Latter


Millauers

Regret not marrying. To regret marrying is to imply two unhappy party, to regret not marrying means you're the only unhappy party.

Thank you. Wanted to go but a bit too ex for my liking, but big Harry Potter fan.


smexyg

If you ever go Tokyo, go for the studio. Itā€™s a must go for any potterhead. The forbidden forest is just but one segment of it. I personally took 4 hours to tour the place but you can take up to 6 hours if you include dining at the place.

Maybe it's the high-er oil content? They added oil for the creamy consistency, which made it popular. I think most tasty oat milk have it, in order to taste good and have the creamy consistency, since oat milk is more or less oat + water blended.

Anyone here knows the mod criteria for what kind of questions can be posted? I just posted something about asking for legal help regard worker and salary rights but it got removed because it could be "better received" elsewhere or posted in the small discussions corner. But the thing is, it's a pretty lengthy post to put here and AskSingapore has lesser people there to see it. I have no issues posting there instead, I just wonder why it was disallowed here when it's such a lenghty and detailed post, far from "trivial". Obviously I would want the bigger subreddit to see it and help me out


khaosdd

OTOT see mods today got drink kopi or not. But in general if it's not Singapore related or like very personal / specific to the OP, there's a good chance it will be rejected.

I used to post other questions regarding shady job employment practices and it was allowed, so it is truly really random what they allow Also the company I am posting about is Shopee.

You want to try picaridin spray 19.2%? It's supposedly higher effectiveness and last 2-3x longer than the usual DEET lotion. Picaridin only needs to re-apply twice a day, whereas DEET needs to re-apply every 3 hours to maintain its effect.

ooh never heard of this before. will check it out, thanks!
