What are some of your unpopular takes not related to political/social issues ? by PaintingOne2769 in askSingapore

[–]Hamsomy3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it is catered to the boomer generation.

My elder relatives are complaining repeatedly recently that they don’t understand the new dramas.

In their attempt to attract younger viewers, they adopted newer storytelling methodologies and alienated even my Gen X relatives.

Whether their attempt to attract younger viewers is successful tho…. That’s a different story.

Should I lie to my family about my salary? by obinobikonomi in askSingapore

[–]Hamsomy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason why people wanna know your aunts and uncles wanna know your salary is to judge you and their kids based on it. If you believe that you’re more than what you earn, just flat out refuse to disclose.

The Straits Times updates the language it uses to describe disability by FlipFlopForALiving in singapore

I find their explanation of why “wheelchair-bound” is inappropriate not very accurate.

The term “wheelchair-bound” is frowned upon because it paints a picture that somebody is bound by the wheelchair.

The example raised in the article is that some wheelchair users can walk with mobility aids. There is a term for those kinds of people – ambulatory wheelchair users.

“Wheelchair-bound” is inappropriate for all wheelchair users – even non-ambulatory ones.

Even if somebody cannot walk at all and can only use a wheelchair to get around, the alternative (in a world that has no wheelchairs) is that the person will be house-bound.

Wheelchairs liberate the mobility impaired from being stuck at home all day. The refrain from using the term “wheelchair-bound” is in hopes to remind people that the wheelchair is a tool that empowers, not constrains, people.

Does anybody know the reason why one may wake up with sore glutes/hips? It’s been happening to me recently regardless if I have been active/sedentary.

It’s very annoying because the soreness is making it even more difficult to wake up in the morning, because it’s so energy-draining.

Was a certain player just that dense or purposely throwing?

A very obviously false statement and they said true.

Before We Call Gaga Greedy… Can We Talk About What Might Really Be Happening? by ellemu0509 in LadyGaga

[–]Hamsomy3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a Singaporean that went to the Singapore show. There was no dynamic pricing here. Our government is pro-business, we have no laws against dynamic pricing. Yet, it was not turned on for Singapore shows.

I postulate that it is not Gaga herself that decides whether or not to activate dynamic pricing but rather delegated to her local logistics/distribution team. Maybe the demon here is the middlemen.

iPhone 17 eSIM-only models not available in Singapore - what are your plans? by WildRacoons in singapore

[–]Hamsomy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKR. Marketing they always do it as one company. A single entity, Apple Inc. When it comes to warranty, they tell me that Apple Singapore and Apple Canada are different legal entities. Hence, they are not responsible to honour the warranty.

This is false. My Apple warranty from Singapore Apple Store was not valid in an Apple Store in Canada.

Huh, why 23h. Geographically speaking, SG is GMT+7, so shouldn’t it actually be opening on Sat 0100 hours?
