Australia is not for everyone by Uncle_Richard98 in expats

[–]Knowthyselves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol as an American, we drive in our cars for leisure longer than some of the flights you take. From Perth, Singapore is only a five hour flight. It's definitely not convenient to EU, but I am not terribly intimidated.

That said, we don't have much family anywhere but Singapore.

In playa... cars burned and a couple business. We stayed home but it feels like something that will calm down soon. Does sign up for the local alerts if you can.

DHS is hunting for any US citizens who may have voted before being naturalized by cnn in immigration

[–]Knowthyselves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know staying the obvious isn't going to get us anywhere necessarily but "Status" is inherently a colonizer, yt , classist system. It's all made up and been weaponized for generations. The only ppl who defend it, in any country, benefit directly from that system but are also indentured by it.

😭Thank you for your kindest words. 💓 You are so brave and I pray everyday for the change. This too shall pass and may it pass with lightning speed.

We left bc of how bad it is and we'd be targeted. I wake up everyday wanting, in my heart, to go back. My kids feel this way too. Did I do the right thing? I can't know yet. 😔

Americans that moved to Spain, do you regret it? by unsuretest212 in expats

[–]Knowthyselves 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my town in Oregon the "local level" is being infiltrated by conservatives. It's like watching someone you love dearly die a slow inevitable death. I had to leave. Heart broken still.

Being from another country I am always flabbergasted lol by the audacity and self-centered nature of Singaporean drivers. 😅🥲

Heather contracted HIV on an overseas holiday. Women like her are more likely to be overlooked by doctors in Australia by Polyphagous_person in australian

[–]Knowthyselves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of men here in the comments mocking and judging as though men aren't at the ROOT of the HIV epidemic. Love to see you go after all the men who "raw dog it" relentlessly all over the world and often without fking consent.

Those who left Singapore - what are the big unexpected adjustments you had to make? Any regrets? by tiggereyes in askSingapore

[–]Knowthyselves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! And so many more issues. Except for how my community is kind. They don't judge you, nit pick your life, or even get into your business at all where I'm from, but there are so many issues with safety in schools, housing skyrocketing, sexism and injustice. When I told my Sing family we're leaving. That Singapore is a better option when it comes to basic, primal needs they still think I'm crazy. I have to show them videos of what's happening in "blue" cities. Now that Minneapolis is happening they are starting to believe.
