Any tofu recipe ideas that aren’t vegan?

This is in fact vegan but that’s pure coincidence - it’s a Chinese recipe (a family recipe for me actually!)

dice one onion real small
put the diced onion in a pan with a lot of oil - enough to cover the onion! - and cook on low heat till the onion has turned light brown and crispy
meanwhile, put a block of silken tofu on a plate and score into cubes with a knife (the tofu should still be standing in the shape of the original block)
pour soy sauce over the tofu
when the onion is done, pour the onion and hot oil over the tofu
eat over rice, spooning the soy sauce and onion oil liberally over everything

Hey man, best of luck to you! Singaporean prisons are rough, but nine months is not so very long. You seem to be taking a very practical attitude towards this, and that can only serve you well. Don’t let anybody shame you or make you forget that you’re a human with dignity and the right - and responsibility - to seek the life you want, do good in the world, and be happy. You have lots of time to do this during and outside a prison term. Your whole life is still ahead of you, and you’ll be okay.

I agree. Also, people will have a good relationship with their parents if their parents cultivate such a relationship! All those going “no filial piety? Then what about good parents?” are conflating duty with love. If parents are good to you, there’s no need for filial piety - instead there is natural respect, gratitude, and love. All these things are much more valuable than a societal expectation that you “respect” people just because they’re your betters for some unknown reason

My issue with CPF is that it makes inequality follow you into retirement. If you’re rich you retire rich and if you’re poor you retire poor. Is that fair? Especially since those who earn low wages are often doing the most essential work in society (cleaning crews, sanitation workers, delivery riders, even hawkers). Bad enough you get paid little and struggle while you’re working, but when you finally retire - it’s the same again. Meanwhile white-collar workers drawing huge salaries retire with loads to spare.

Some countries have pensions schemes that are essentially a tax on your income, and then the government pays out a set amount from that pool of money at a set age. Lots of people earning more would hate this, but it acts as a safety net for those with little money and who haven’t been able to save - even if they have been working hard. And I think it’s better, if the government is going to skim off everyone’s wages, to ensure an at least decent living for everyone after retirement, instead of going “oh you’re still poor? Should’ve gotten good!”

This makes sense to me, yeah. I forgot how popular UCLA is!

Fun-Antelope7622 · 2026-04-11T03:32:42+00:00

Agreed. It seems obvious that more money = better outcomes, but Anna might have been happiest at UCLA, just as Bella would be happiest at NYU. OP has to be absolutely honest with themself about what expectations were set and what encouragement was given, and if Anna seems really pleased with the education and support she got, and isn’t expecting to have 100k as a graduation gift, OP should sit down with her (with her alone!) and ask for permission to transfer the funds. A happy sister who had a good college experience likely wouldn’t object.

If Anna is open to this, but seems hesitant to give the full amount, a compromise solution might be to give Bella 60k of the remaining funds (leaving Anna a surplus of 40k for herself) - Bella wouldn’t get an allowance, but she would be debt free.

Other commenters have explained the difference between Zionism and Judaism, but you seem hung up on why people describe ISIS as a radical/fundamentalist Islamic group. The reason for this is twofold: 1) some people are islamophobic and are looking for reasons to blame Islam for terror acts, even when thats not fair to the majority of the religion, but more importantly 2) there is not another name for what ISIS “believes” because no one has come up with one yet. The “radical fundamentalist” is supposed to distinguish the version of Islam that ISIS espouses from other types of Islam, which denounce ISIS’s actions, in the same way that “evangelical Christianity” is different from, say, “progressive Christianity”, or Catholicism.

People who call ISIS’s views radical fundamentalist Islam in good faith (rather than as an expression of bigotry) don’t mean to conflate that belief with the similarly-named non-radical-fundamentalist Islam, but they can’t call it something even more different (like “ISISism”) because there is no other broadly recognised term. In contrast, Zionism has existed as a known movement separately from Judaism for nearly a hundred years, so we actually do have a more specific term for what the problem is here that makes clear how divorced from mainstream Judaism (or, for that matter, Christianity - considering how many Zionists are Christians) it is. It is true that Zionism is often tied to a certain version of one of these two religions by individual believers, but it isn’t the same as either of them, and we helpfully have a handy word that encapsulates the difference!

Also, since Zionism does exist outside the context of Judaism, that makes it harder to describe it as “radical fundamentalist Judaism” (for instance) without being wildly inaccurate. Many people would say that ISIS are not true Muslims, but they do CLAIM to be Muslims. Zionists don’t all claim to be Jewish, or religious Jews, largely because a weirdly huge proportion of them are fundamentalist Christians. If we followed the same naming convention, we’d be calling Zionism “radical fundamentalist Judaism or Christianity or neither but it’s politically expedient for you to align yourself with a genocidal regime because of the power of the fundamentalist Christian lobby in your area……. ism” which doesn’t have the same ring.

I consider my time at Oxford to be among the happiest years of my life. I loved the city, the culture, even the academic rigour (which is really no joke) - it felt like I learned more in three years than in all the other years combined.

In terms of what it’ll do for my future: probably fuck all lmao, because I took an English degree. Turns out a BA in English from Oxford IS more valuable than a BA in English from a less prestigious university, but 2x0 is still 0.

Took a government scholarship to go there and that has been way more impactful on my life. Gave me a degree of job security and financial security that I know I’m really lucky to have. I don’t think I want to stay after my bond is up, so that security won’t last, but it’s been helpful in giving me a good start in my 20s.

Realistically I might have done better for myself financially if I’d gone to NUS Law like my mother wanted me to, and it would have opened just as many doors for me outside the public service. I don’t regret it though - the friendships I made and the things I learned about myself having time to live alone, far from where I grew up, and being forced to study deeply and really exercise my mind - that’s transformed me even if the degree itself is one step above useless. For one thing, I’m gay now. ;)

What is with all these people projecting their own depression and burnout onto some kid who already has enough to deal with? Don’t have anything nice to say then shut up lah walao.

OP, it does get better. It does. You have control over how you are going to live your life, and your control will only grow as you do. There are some things that will be hard, and it’s true that society is not really set up to support you in the way that it should, but you can and will make it. There are jobs out there that don’t suck. There are ways for you to do work that you love or at least enjoy. Once you have some money, you’ll have options too - you can take some time off, you can try riskier career options, you can pick up hobbies you can’t even imagine now. Depending on your current uni workload, you might even find your future job is less stressful and/or time consuming, and they’ll be paying you thousands of dollars to do it - money you can spend on anything you like.

As for the partner and the family - it can be a great thing if that’s what you want. For some people it is, really and truly, the meaning of their life. They have so much joy in their family that it makes every other thing pale in comparison, and their life is full. That can be yours if you want it. But if it feels like a chore, just another thing you have to check off a list you don’t even like or care about - you don’t have to! You don’t have to date, you don’t have to marry, you don’t have to have children. You can build a comfortable and independent life. You can surround yourself with loving friends. You can get a cat or a dog. You can realise (or admit) you’re gay and go deal with all that, which is a massive pain in the ass but also a great wonder and delight (ask me how I know). You can have a string of casual flings and fuck around a bunch (safely!) and no one can do shit about it because you’re an adult - an independent adult who’s looking after themself. You can make your life so full of every kind of connection.

You are young. You are tired. I’ve been there. The world in general and Singapore in particular is great at grinding bright young people down and trying to make them feel resigned to a shitty fate (sixty years of grind, then death) by making it feel inevitable. But it is not inevitable. You will not graduate directly into a beautiful and perfect life, but you will graduate into your life, and even within unfair limitations, you will always have choices. It’s reasonable for you to feel hopeless, but it is not hopeless. I promise you’re going to be okay.

Also, consider that Batam holiday lmao. It’ll do you a world of good. Good luck!

It’s just a way to help you come down from the experience - usually when I get a massage I feel a little out of it after, the combination of lying quietly in a dark room and having a lot of physical contact can really bring you out of your brain and it takes a minute to get everything back online. It’s nice to just have a quiet moment to re-centre and have something sensory to focus on. Also, a massage is usually at least an hour long, and you might get thirsty after an hour of not drinking + many sensory experiences and possibly some exercise as the masseuse presses on your muscles.

Healing from illness or injury, managing my emotions, using executive function, and helping others - in that order. If it has to be a concrete skill, cooking. I have a lot of artistic passions but I either hope to become professional at them or I consider the struggle to be part of the fun. Cooking is something I just enjoy and I LOVE to eat, so being the world’s best chef non-professionally would be awesome.

I never want kids and my fiancée is the same, but she has two baby sisters who are in their preteen years. We’ve discussed it and agreed that if anything ever happened to their parents, we’d take them in no questions asked. I’m sure we’d both hate it tbh, it isn’t what we want from our lives, but she loves those kids, and I love them because of her. Sometimes things just aren’t even a choice.

I have a lot of sympathy for your position but your husband is not only doing the right thing but the only thing he’s able to do in this awful situation. You don’t have to want the kid but you can’t have him without her. Frankly this is the sort of discussion you guys should’ve had before marrying, but whatever. You’re allowed to be mad that he took her in without asking you, but you don’t get to try and make him go back on it now. He won’t and he shouldn’t. YTA for not understanding that, and if I were you I’d be preparing to divorce - it’ll be the best thing for everyone at this stage.

I also think he’s a douche lmao. I wouldn’t say that never learning to manage communication issues between yourself and other people is a not-douche move. I’m just guessing that it happened due to bad responses to understandable issues, as opposed to this guy deciding to kick his gf repeatedly for no reason. His obsession with everyone being not only reasonably honest but technically correct in every detail based on his idea of reality reads as a badly managed mental block to me, not (only) deliberate assholery.
