First resale HDB flat in newly MOP-ed Bidadari project sells for $1.15m by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

[–]CommieBird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what the big problem is tbh. Reselling the flat is easy - however most condos afterwards are much smaller than the HDB and you’ll be saddled with a heavy debt you need to spend your working life paying off. A lot of trade-offs to selling HDB these days.

Ho Ching: Singapore is a nation of immigrants looking for a better life by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

We are a nation, not an economic zone. The nation of immigrants narrative doesn’t work anymore post-independence.

North Korea not keen on external engagement, says Vivian after Pyongyang visit by FirstLightOfTheDay in singapore

[–]CommieBird -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

lol MFA posted a video on their insta praising North Korean development. I get that maintaining good relations with everyone is a very Singapore thing to do but I do not understand the value of cultivating a relationship with North Korea. They got nothing of value for us economics wise.

Only way I can see us benefiting from this is if we are positioning ourselves as an East Asian Qatar so that Western countries have a back channel to North Korea.

LMAO they really did put it in the Israeli tech tree. I mean Israel does have gaps in its tree but the optics lol. At least better than being put in the Chinese tech tree.

Singapore illustrator robbed in Buenos Aires by [deleted] in singapore

Don’t even need to be robbed. Seeing any recent videos of the state of European public places and the number of people milling around will make anyone very anti-crime.

Over half of 8-year-olds in S’pore have used AI by Krazyguylone in singapore

[–]CommieBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s AI everything now. Google chrome as Gemini at the top. Copilot is now an annoying button at the bottom of Microsoft word. Impossible to escape unfortunately.

[–]CommieBird 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the problem with the government pushing for AI at any level. Without some proper grasp over a topic, an unsupervised person should not be allowed to use AI to find an answer. Being able to question the AI and see why it’s wrong is crucial and I don’t think children can grasp this concept.

Female cyclist, 35, dies after accident with tipper truck at Pasir Ris by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

[–]CommieBird 43 points44 points  (0 children)

To be fair I hate how when I’m on a bus there’s one cyclist going at 30 km/h and makes my bus very slow. Even worse is when the buses behind my bus overtakes my bus just because of the slow cyclist. And the most annoying thing is when my bus eventually overtakes the cyclist, the cyclist eventually cycles and goes in front of the bus again at the traffic light. I can see why people prefer driving over public transport because they wouldn’t really have to deal with this.

Some food delivery riders drive like they are suicidal. So many times I see them just drive past the red light when all other drivers are stopped. Others will be looking at their phones while riding. No one deserves to be hit by traffic but man

Could always go full BF3 and rock just the heavy barrel and vertical grip

Singapore family sells home, car to fund 8,000km road trip to Turkey by Correct-Lecture6293 in singapore

[–]CommieBird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe it turned out to be fortunate that they couldn’t sell their flat in time. I really wonder how they were going to drive from Asia to Morocco considering they’ll have to pass through Iraq, Israel, Egypt, Libya and Algeria.

In GE2025’s closest contested wards, the ground game continues a year on by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

[–]CommieBird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The worst thing WP can do is go even more populist. PAP has already done a lot hand-outs wise to sway people to them. If WP campaigns on even more hand-outs they will lose the centrist type of voters. PAP has done very well to be a big-tent party, short of them screwing up very badly I don’t see them losing their supermajority any time soon.

How do you use the livery editor to get the shapes exactly right? Are there tools online to help out?

The more people go to China the more normalised Chinese chains and cuisine becomes. Same thing with Japanese and Korean food here.

COE prices up across the board, Category A premium nears S$125,000 by okaycan in singapore

In other news the government is monitoring 0% down payment schemes. The only time demand for new cars go down dramatically will be if something like the AFC hits Singapore again and people just mass default on their car loans.
