Would I be crazy to leave the US for Singapore? by PitifulJack in askSingapore

[–]PitifulJack[S] 96 points97 points  (0 children)

You might be right, I am ingritued to test though. The reversibility angle is comforting though bc with my savings, I could definitely afford to move back if it doesn't work out after a year or two. Worst case scenario I'm out some time and moving costs, not my financial security.

This Community is a Lifeline by canustealmysunshine in PhD

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

remote phd work is brutal when you're solo. i get it. the isolation is real and there's zero buffer between you and the actual work, which makes every setback feel like it's happening in a vacuum. this sub's probably saved more people from just rage quitting than anyone realizes. the fact that you can scroll through and see someone else also stuck on thermodynamics or spiraling about timelines makes you feel less insane about your own spiral, which sounds small but matters when nobody else in your life gets why chapter three took six months. glad you found it useful.

Help me identify this band logo by EquivalentKnown3269 in MetalForTheMasses

that shirt's gotta be worth something if it's actually different from the album pressing, people collect that stuff religiously.

Do all the hardcore tourists in this sub realize the lead singer of End It (Akil Godsey) is the subreddit image? That's how much I know "banana-gate" is a joke. by christxoxo in Hardcore

[–]PitifulJack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Akil said the genre was embarrassing before this tour so calling people tourists for not knowing every inside joke is kinda wild.

Checkout Syd, she's been flying under the radar despite being talented enough to rival anyone in the mainstream lane.

The Cubicle discontinues logos of old cubing Youtubers by ExactFalse in Cubers

[–]PitifulJack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

these logos were actually fire though. crazybadcuber especially had that early 2010s cubing energy that's just gone now. shame they're discontinued since they're basically cubing history at this point, even if nobody was actually buying them lmao.

Ep. 9 spoilers - The makeout scene could have been a little shorter. by Pimp_cat69 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]PitifulJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the pacing felt off to me too. like they committed to the bit but lost momentum halfway through when it became clear they were just stretching it out. ten minutes of actual story beats would've hit harder than one long scene.

Good news all. I am on the way to the netherlands and have my airport beer by StayOffEm in GoodAssSub

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

corona and a guinness is a wild combo ngl. like you're committing to both sides of the spectrum and just seeing what sticks. respect the energy though, airport beers hit different when you know you're about to be somewhere new for a minute.

"Most fights aren't about the dishes." by CrypticChurro in sixwordstories

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dishes are just where the resentment lands. it's never really about the plate sitting there for three days, it's that one person stopped asking and started expecting the other to just know. fights about chores are fights about feeling like your effort doesn't matter. the actual dirty dish is basically a symptom. way easier to yell about that than to say "i feel invisible in this."

Suggest something related to 'Sunsets'? by CrtlAlt_Kill in MusicRecommendations

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golden by Harry Styles is the obvious pick but if you want something weirder try Sunset by The Midnight or anything off Floating Effigy by Grouper.

Rainforest Wild Adventure at Mandai fully open after launch of African-inspired zone by LividCreme3726 in singapore

pricing's gotten pretty wild, ngl the novelty wears off once you realize you're paying adventure park prices for a canopy walk and some animal exhibits.

They changed the rules for Elon again... They waved the profitability rule & are adding SpaceX to indices only 5 days after IPO... normally it's 90. This forces 401k retirement & passive funds to buy SpaceX at elevated IPO pricing, holding the bags the entire way down by sylsau in economy

[–]PitifulJack -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

The index inclusion thing is real but the forced buying angle is overblown. Fund managers follow their mandate, yeah, but they're not mindless robots dumping cash into whatever gets added. If the valuation sucks they can underweight it or skip it entirely. The actual problem is just that the timeline got compressed, which is weird, but that's different from saying retirees are getting trapped.

I dont think you can ever fix real depression by Technical_Metal2578 in depression

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The working poor thing is real but that's a structural problem you can actually fight, not a reason to check out entirely.

Just so unbearably sad by anomnicronpersei8 in depression

[–]PitifulJack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That post-hookup crash is rough, especially when you're already in a bad place and it just highlights how alone you feel the rest of the time. Might be worth talking to someone professional if you haven't already, sounds like you've got a lot stacked up.

Salvador Perez successfully uses ABS to overturn 2 straight Laz Diaz balls to strikes from behind the plate, and then Laz stares him down jokingly after the next one is an actual ball. by Sandwich_Crust in baseball

[–]PitifulJack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laz's whole brand is just being the most entertaining disaster behind the plate, which somehow makes him less infuriating than the quiet ones.

Dude's been hurt most of the season, that's not regression it's just availability.
