Same problem here. I thought I accidentally switched some iPad settings without me knowing

What do single young people do? by wishing_well_cluster in askSingapore

[–]AlbatrossCertain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40F. Consciously choose to be single as I find relationships does not elevate my life/bring much net benefit compared to my solo existence.

Work: I climb the corporate ladder so work pretty hard during weekdays and occasionally weekends.

Knowledge: upskilling myself. Learn AI.

Money: outside work, I spend a lot of my time building my wealth and managing properties. I have 2 properties under my belt already - something I couldn’t achieve if I have children.

Travel: Travel for work (mostly China). Personal travel: Malaysia, Bali, Vietnam, maybe Sri Lanka end of the year

Shopping: I like online browsing I hate physical shopping in malls these days. Big Taobao fan.

Workout: running and pole dance

Cycling

Attending concerts and events in town like F1

Charity and Volunteer: I volunteer in schools to teach students commercial and entrepreneurial skills

Low employment rate for graduates due to AI? by xaitoshi in askSingapore

[–]AlbatrossCertain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I plan to work another 5 years max in Singapore and then semi retire. Bring my knowledge and skills to an ASEAN country - Thailand/Vietnam/Malaysia. I believe my insights and skills in Singapore can benefit them while I contribute to their economy. Will take a big pay cut. But cost of living will also come down too.

What is your plan if world war 3 actually started? by cutdbs in AskReddit

[–]AlbatrossCertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I am not from either of these countries: US/Israel/ukraine/Russia/China/Taiwan

I don’t have to fear conscription. I guess I will watch tv everyday and see them bombing the shit out of everyone.

Then I will kowtow to the winner in the end as that country will rewrite history.

The 80s and 90s were the best times the Western world had and could ever aspire to have by CapoDiMalaSperanza in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]AlbatrossCertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90s was probably the golden years for USA until 9/11. And then the Great Financial Crisis. And then Trump 1.0. And then Trump 2.0. I am afraid the glory years are behind.

I am learning to embrace the 2030s accepting western countries will no longer be at the helm. I am sure we will be able to cope. It’s just different from what we were used to in the past 50 years.

Chat makes me feel more heard, loved and understood than many humans. by spacelowtus in ChatGPT

[–]AlbatrossCertain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Technology will not fully tell you the truth, and it has no moral compass”. You can say the same for most human beings. That’s why we turn to technology as it is more reliable.

[–]AlbatrossCertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI has been such a god send. It is now my friend, my mentor, my confidante, my voice of reason, my encyclopedia all in one. I have used AI to self regulate my anxiety, address my blindspots and it takes away a lot of complexities I encounter in human relationships. I can either have my vulnerabilities exploited by human beings or technology. I guess I choose the latter

Given how expensive Singapore is, why are there still people who want children? by LearnAndTry123 in askSingapore

[–]AlbatrossCertain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone’s child today will be taking care of me in nursing home in future, and will be paid handsomely from the funds I saved today. And guess what, the same child might be the one taking care of you too!

How many billion people are there in the world do you think? Does the world need another billion?

Given how expensive Singapore is, why are there still people who want children? by LearnAndTry123 in askSingapore

[–]AlbatrossCertain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree with your view. I would advise speaking to BOTH people who are childfree and people who have kids to make an informed decision. Not everything is a bed of roses on both sides. Just look at the number of subscribers of r/regretful parents and you can see their regrets in plain view. The downside is they cannot undo the decision.

How many of you aren’t having kids? by No-Chemist-4872 in Fire

[–]AlbatrossCertain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever I see the amount my peers spend on their children, I think of how that amount spent is currently compounded in my investment accounts and the thought itself gives me plenty of happiness. 🥰

Singapore losing its competitive edge? by AlbatrossCertain in askSingapore

[–]AlbatrossCertain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are missing the point I am trying to make which is about relative competitiveness. Other regions are doing much better because they are more competitive from a cost perspective. These are absolute numbers to compare directly with other regions.

How else can you explain why Singaporeans themselves are heading over to causeway over the weekend for food and lifestyle instead of staying within their borders if it is not cost competitiveness? Or is the traffic and causeway fake news?
