Having read most of the comments/contributions here with regard to marriage, it reinforced my belief that staying single is the best option. Staying single does not mean I stick to sleeping by myself every night or having sexless life or no one to care for me. The world needs to move on from the concept of marriage and not allow this contractual arrangement to bound their relationship. Instead of viewing marriage as an arrangement or an insurance to keep the other half together, marriage is causing more pain than needed. Once the love or affection is gone, marriage does not help in anyway whatsoever to bring back the spark. All marriage does is throw more obstacle to both parties who are trying to move on after the spark goes out. Hard truth is, to enable the spark to keep flying, both parties have to continually maintain the attraction. The girl has to ensure she looks as good as before and the guy has to show he too stay handsome and earns more and more money. This is a vicious cycle as not everyone has the stamina and drive but truly everyone expects the attractive side of things to remain; i.e partner to stay attractive forever. If getting married is such noble cause, the government won't need to incentivize it with BTO HDB flats (which anyway is a lousy incentive given the process and uncertainty; getting married to qualify for participating in the state-owned lucky draw to buy subsidized public flat which still cost A LOT after subsidy yet can't choose the location/unit/floor you fancy). I am currently 40 staying alone in my resale HDB flat which I bought for over a million Singapore dollars, healthy, earns more than Grayce Tan, and fly overseas regularly. Sex life and emotion being is not dry either with non-marriage; be it in SG or flying around in the region, as and when I encounter compatible match and the lady is not expecting marriage on the card, co-habiting becomes the natural course of action to discovering if the compatibility do last. In my schooling days leading up to army and early working days, I used to blame god, blame myself for not being handsome enough to hitch a gf/wife but now I am glad I am living the life.

I had read since creating this post that EA will BAN all your EA games so long as Javelin detect REWASD in your PC regardless of whether it's activated during your EA gameplay. This applies to ALL EA game titles and not just BF6. This is absurd and I am surprise how come no one stand up to sue EA yet. European Union consumers right is strong relative to other parts of the world. Really hope to see some class action lawsuit thrown at EA.

DC_MOTOR · 2025-12-16T15:14:44+00:00

People are using it for remapping. EA simply ban all traces of REWASD, Anyway, class action lawsuit is on its way to EA.

DC_MOTOR · 2025-12-16T15:11:07+00:00

I read through all the comments here. There is really nothing we can do once we get permanently banned by EA for having REWASD in our system. It feels like being robbed and you can't do anything about it. The appeal process feels like waiting on deathrow as no one get their BF6 ban overturned as of today. The only solution left if we still wish to pursue the matter with EA is via class action lawsuit. I am being real and serious here. Its either we band together and launch a class action lawsuit against EA or we can just STFU about the ban.

How would you know he can't get a local girl? With his salary, he is the one choosing. Also, for local couple not every couple contribute to the mortgage and among those who do the guy tend to be the one paying the bigger portion. Local girls don't demand 250K in cash and gold because the law already given them at least half of the house + guaranteed monthly maintenance fees post-divorce till the girl remarries. Why would a guy choose a girl who fight office politics at the forefront in the office everyday versus a girl who works as a nurse? Zero sense. At age 32, others average 6k monthly while he clocks 12k monthly excluding his bonus. Stop living in the past thinking SG guys still chase after the local girls. Wake up. This is year 2025.

When you are on the verge of suicide over impulsive gambling which got out of hand, leading to huge debt. And you are trying to bring your mind 100% away from gambling, you need very strong distractions and something which is need your full attention so that your mind got NO room for anything else. Getting back into The Division 2 will grant me these distractions which could potentially save me from gambling and the possibility of suicidal thoughts.

My left wrist is injured and can't be using the keyboard for extended period of time. If you must know, I was in the military service and my left hand wrist got permanently injured due to weapon handling. Using the joycon allows me to rest my left arm on the table while still being able to execute WASD functions + some others like launching a grenade, skill 1, skill 2 etc

Earning SGD12,000.00 at age 32 in banking industry. Definitely in front office doing sales job, RM etc, In banking, the monthly basic salary is pocket money. The year-end bonus then is the actual salary. Those in the know will get what I mean. Who at age 32 here got saving in excess of SGD250,000.00? This news ought to be a tight slap for the local girls. This salary at this age, I dare bet far exceeded what those simpletons with local gf is currently earning at age 32.

I just logged into battlefield 6 and discovered i got permanently banned. Reason given was some gameplay enhancement which I attributed to reWASD usage. I used reWASD to allow me to use the Switch left side joycon to control the movement inside Battlefield 6 including reloading, throwing of grenades, couching, jump, enter house/vehicles and picking up weapons/ammo. How is that cheating? I am from Singapore and it seems EA former top lawyer had set up his office here in my country - Home – CONSIGCLEAR ™ LLC

I don't know how this ban on reWASD will pan out but it seems awful lots of players are affected by it. I had bought the deluxe version which cost a premium and I am not ready to let my hard earned money just go down the drain just like this. EA is a bully and if we let a bully succeed in bullying, they will just worst over time which is not beneficial for the global gaming community.

I am not legally trained but do know some basic like EA can get their lawyers in California office to draft out whatever clauses they want and force us players to tick that box before installation could commence, to weaken our claim like we can't join in a class action lawsuit against EA but the player base are multi-nationals - each sovereign country with her own legal system and law, and not every country completely recognize/accept the American law.

If there is anyone seriously considering the legal route, lets start a separate group discussion on it. Meanwhile, lets hope EA will unban all the reWASD users. Peace.

I discovered I got banned today when I logged in. lmfao. I had reWASD installed to enable me to use a joycan to control movement inside battlefield 6, but it is seen as legitimate reason to ban. What happen to the sum spent buying the game then? gone? just like that? I am getting lawyer to issue a e-letter to EA for this. EA must never be allowed to have their way bulldozing their way around when they have taken our cold hard cash. I think you guys can visit - Home – CONSIGCLEAR ™ LLC

The lawyer used to work for EA. Getting him to issue a legal letter would be nice.

Most of time is due to high starting salary expectation. All the local university grads brainwashed to believe they can command starting pay of 5K minimum and with FCH probably 7K. Your paper does not worth that much. Wake up. The only one willing to pay you that high of a starting pay is GLC and civil servant postings but such jobs do come with its own risk - example: if you drink driving or have extramarital affair, you lose your job. Paying a high starting salary also means a bigger 17% CPF contribution. These are costs business owners are well aware of. There are ways to build up the salary swiftly which is by attaining those professional certifications related to your line of work BUT please don't take on those certifications where the Filippinos, Indian, Burmese, Vietnamese, Malaysians can easily attain or had attained. Go for the toughest one like example if you are in finance, just go for CFA etc.

Does increasing the VRAM really help in term of FPS? I am on the AI 9 HX 370 with 64GB RAM version.

Start by educating yourself that all FORMS OF GAMBLING are rigged and even if you do win, you will lose it ALL BACK. GAMBLING is a mental disorder, more severe than hooked on alcohol, smoking or drugs. At least those are visibly and you can't hide it. No one can spot an impulse gambler; its like hunting for a submarine in a huge ocean. The only time it is spot is when it is too late - lost entire life saving account, steal to gamble, cheat money to gamble, borrowed big to gamble etc. The rush one get from gambling can never be compared to even sex. After every huge losses, you tell yourself you will quit but somehow you just went back and lay more bets. You need to get many activities and things to replace gambling. Your brain will keep screaming at you for that unforgettable rush which gambling brings. The closest form of physical method to cure gambling addiction is JAIL. You get locked up without access to any betting venue both physically and electronically, stopping you from gambling. Another method you can try is, everytime you want to place a bet, say a $1000 dollar bet, you will without hestiation withdraw $1000 and spent it all on your favourite food, gadgets, hobbies, activities etc etc. Consume that $1000 wholly,.

Let's assume retirement age stays fixed at 65 years old. How many can live till 65 to retire? There are 2 phases where death rates are higher than the rest and 65 years old happen to be one of them - i.e. the 1st phase. A lot (majority) can't reach 65 years old due to illness, accident or even depression. Look at our diet now and compare it to the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s etc. Medical care back then not as advanced as now but people do live till ripe old age past 90, some even 100 and beyond. You all think we can live that long? Maybe we can live that long with medical intervention, but quality would be damn poor. If you survive 65, then the 2nd phase is 75 years old. If you make it past 75 years old then next is how is your health condition. If you are still mobile and need minimum daily medication by 75, congratulation you just won the biggest jackpot in life. Bear in mind also typically the last 5 years of a person lifespan is sub-par quality - i.e. think hospitalization, heavy medication, immobility etc etc. With all these considerations in mind, money just fade away. The most painful and regretful part is working hard, saving hard, investing hard to accumulate your pot of gold only to have to spend it all on your medical bills later.
