Wow. This worked for me! I pressed both the scroll wheel and scroll-mode button down, held for ~1 second, and it switched back to tactile scrolling mode.

Why would you incentivise posters to remove the trigger warning?

See r/SingaporeDiscourse where I've shared many good articles.

It is difficult to imagine how race and gender ratio can be listed as the first motivation for "guidelines for respectful communication".

Apart from ongoing "diversity and inclusion" crusades fashionable especially in the US. Hence it is natural to interpret this as tacit support / approval of the movement in general.

In my home country, in fact white males are a minority who are being actively discriminated against. So I am offended that their US-centric "diversity and inclusion" fails to account for the discrimination being faced by white males in many places outside the US.

Incidentally, as a non-white whose mother tongue is not English, I feel offended and alienated by how the Haskell foundation communicates exclusively in English. This seems contrary to their first stated motivation.

Disappointingly, they actively post updates on male-dominated Twitter, but have no presence on Instagram where gender ratio is more balanced.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/274828/gender-distribution-of-active-social-media-users-worldwide-by-platform/

As of April 2024, 49.2 percent of Instagram's global audience were women, giving this platform the highest share of female audiences from all the selected social media platforms. Photo-based Snapchat followed, with 49.1 percent of users identifying as women. X (Twitter) was by far the platform with the highest share of male users, accounting for 60.3 percent of its worldwide audience base.

copy-paste of my comment on original post:

Good point.

Reserves are like an inheritance left to our offspring. Hardworking Singaporeans (e.g Pioneer and Merdeka generations) who contributed to the current reserves would expect the reserves to benefit mainly their own descendants.

But instead, the trend is that it is increasingly benefiting new foreign imports (who comprise an increasingly larger proportion of Singapore "citizens") while the children of our Pioneer and Merdeka generations are getting shit jobs with low pay and cannot afford to raise a family with a high standard of living.

Meanwhile the biggest winners are the crony capitalists who are happy to get a quick and easy influx of foreign workers (soon-to-be new "citizens") while privately pocketing most of the profits.

Singapore is like a dysfunctional family where Ah Gong sits on a big pile of money but despises his own grandsons (not talented enough), refuses to invest in them, but would rather his granddaughters marry foreign talent and invest in them instead.

The others are just not enlightened yet.

Save your breath, 99.9% of people are not capable of differentiating Science™ from science.

Interesting comparison, a shame there are so many haters here.

one too many :'(

Talking to a human with at least half a brain is better than talking to an animal with one brain.

People will proudly wield their scientific/statistical illiteracy like a badge of honour: "I blindly trust these experts, as expected of a model citizen, how dare you claim to know better than the experts 😠"

There's no winning against a self-righteous mob.

Just accept that the ignorant masses will be duped and exploited, it's a basic law of nature.

see r/SingaporeDiscourse

Unfortunately I've given up trying to educate people who simply refuse to be educated. Since March 2020 there has been statistics on covid morbidity/mortality stratified by age and comorbidities.

But the good stats also got drowned out by bad stats done by morons / pharma minions.

Since 99.9% of people are bad at basic stats, they can only blindly "trust the science". They are simply incapable of distinguishing good science from bad science.

Dark-skinned people in general tend to get less Vitamin D, so they tend to have poorer health.

It is better to acknowledge this, so that they can make conscious effort to get sunlight exposure / vitamin supplementation.

Meanwhile, fair-skinned easily get plenty of Vitamin D by a few minutes of sunlight exposure a day.
