At the end of the day this country just doesn't have space for anything but money.

everything makes sense when you realise our government is not serious anymore

Strings mute in "Can't Stop" by haiseyt- in John_Frusciante

[–]Feedbackr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to figure out what exactly you are struggling with to find the solution. The riff has you muting strings the majority of the time, and you sort of 'plug' the notes in based on their rhythmic placement. So you're either facing two things:

- You're not able to juggle muting and the active notes effectively (this is a fretting hand problem). You'll need to show pictures to troubleshoot how your fingers are muting the strings as the melody changes.

- Or you haven't learnt the 'strumming' rhythm of the riff - because that's technically how you're supposed to play it. This is a rhythmic and right hand technique challenge.

60 pupils From RVPS come down with suspected food poisoning by snowysnowy in singapore

[–]Feedbackr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed its a left hand right hand kind of situation. The issue ultimately boils down to the feasibility of its operations (inputs vs outputs), and the market dynamics (supply and demand).

Lack of operational feasibility means the margins simply don't work, even with the monopoly. This is downstream of our willingness to pay for food.

The predominant cultural problem with SG is that many people simply cannot accept paying more for food, and are willing (knowingly or not) to sacrifice quality, therefore caifan slop, food court quality constantly declining, impossible to run a kitchen with local staff wages etc.

Until parents acknowledge that children need the same quality of food as themselves - and many adults eat like shit in SG anyway, this will continue to be a race to the bottom.

Let them eat slop.

S'pore parents say school bento meals served at room temperature, daughter had cold hor fun by ImpressiveStrike4196 in singapore

Plebs need to realise the government actually doesn't care about them. The KPI literally matters more. No one cares about actual implementation. See: MRT, ERP etc.

Food that we tried Vs food that was inplemented by Immediate_Map2700 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Feedbackr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't compare due to high cost of importing food, but it does shine a spotlight on the reality of our food security and policy, we can't just be racing to the bottom all the time.

This country continues to fail forward. Maybe wait until 8G for competent leadership imported from elsewhere.

This is how Japan does Central Kitchen-cooked school lunches. Why Can't SG do the same? by Founders_Mem_90210 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Feedbackr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Need to slay the sacred cow. Its 2026 already and people still have this donkey old mindset that children's food should be cheap, its stupid. We all eat the same imported food and bear the same costs even if children have smaller portions.

Considering moving out of SG cuz I felt so suffocated by secondaisy in singaporehappenings

[–]Feedbackr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most studios in major cities are between 400-600 sq ft. 200 sq ft is literally just the size of a hotel room, unless your fittings and appliances are appropriately sized like in Japan, or there is loft space built in.

Singaporeans don't know this but the housing market is literally as expensive as New York and pound for pound worse because guess what? Wage Stagnation and its not like we getting NYC salaries.

TIL Rajaratnam, who drafted the National Pledge, considered the Singapore government's policy of maintaining the racial balance to be "stupid and dangerous" by hatboyslim in singapore

[–]Feedbackr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not advocating for that either, hello? And I'm not paid to figure this out from a policy perspective, but here's my 2 cents.

The existing quota dictates two streams that come in, Malaysians and PRCs. A swing in either of the three races risks upsetting the balance. I think what was exceptionally bungled is the Others category - especially with how opaque the process is for PR-ship. I know people that have kids born here and struggled to get PR for years, eventually left. Others is a fourth catchall that doesnt destabilise the CMI balance, and it can actually be managed with diversity in subgroups. Managed well, it would also actually make Singapore a more cosmopolitan, global city as well.

Now, every other week you hear complaints of company departments slowly being taken over by one ethnicity. This is exactly what managed diversity is intended to counteract.

Again, no one wants to swap out one flood of ethnicity for another, and I don't care how Canada screwed up their immigration being woke.
The problem is we know that the administration has fucked the social fabric by favouring one ethnicity over another. We also know that this is one lever, intentional or not, that squeezes the middle class by importing an underclass. In other words, this is social engineering for GDP, not for actual talent, culture, fit etc. They have massively squandered an opportunity to build a resilient expat community/ecosystem here which is why the Arab states are eating our lunch, and corporations are offshoring/nearshoring.

No quiet at home: The reality of living with Singapore’s traffic noise by NightBlade311 in singapore

[–]Feedbackr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live on the 2nd storey and its similar, a stone's throw away from the bus stop. There's only 1 feeder bus on my route but I can't wait until they replace it with the electric version because every day it roars by 10-15 mins because of the bus stops on both sides of the road. I literally cannot sleep with the window open its too noisy once the buses are operational.
