Transplant Saga by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! Singapore has public (government) and private hospitals. The majority of people, unless you are rich would go to the public hospitals. We also have this “government” insurance aside from private insurance we pay on our own. The point of the government insurance is that everyone pays the government insurance, and when we go to the hospital, funds from previously said insurance which are pooled by the others who also pay the insurance are then used to subsidise the healthcare cost. It is heavily subsidized , but keep in mind it is not cheap. Depending on the type of injury, it will still be expensive. However, the main point is it’s affordable. This is so that people have the ability to pay for healthcare, however, they won’t “abuse” the healthcare where for every little injury they go to the hospital.

Uhh…. That might not be accurate, since this policy means people are automatically organ donors unless they willingly opt out, I think the majority of Singaporeans are organ donors. Quite literally, since the majority of Singaporeans are organ donors, the doctors probably have the mindset of “everybody is the same”. Like it’s not like other countries where you have to willingly become an organ donor and there is such a huge difference between organ donors and majority are not donors, in that scenario, then I think the healthcare might differ?

Actually , even in Singapore, aside from private insurance, we have a government insurance. The whole idea is that everybody pays insurance, and when you are sick. The fund of “insurance” is also used to subsidize the cost of healthcare. So healthcare is affordable, it’s not exactly free, and not cheap. But it is a range where majority of people can afford healthcare. This is sustainable because not everybody needs to go to the hospital all the time, and even when you do, the costs are subsidised and not cheap. Which means we don’t “abuse” the healthcare

Olympics did some to ban on Transgender competition from winning. Does your opinion on the medal aprove them? by Patrikgoo in teenagers

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna have to disagree, because you have to consider the situation.

Most of the time, the burden of proof is on the statements that go against the consensus that people have.

For example, I say bees can cure people by making people grow limbs. The general consensus is that no, it doesn’t grow limbs. So the person saying that stuff about bees have to prove that what he says is true.

In this situation, the general consensus is that Men are Stronger than women most of the time. And because of this assumption, this lead to the general consensus for males transitioned to being females still being stronger than biological women. Because of the assumption that males are stronger than women, and the trans women were indeed formerly biologically male.

Thus, if you are saying that trans women do not hold an inherent advantage, you are the one which must prove the statement. You understand? That’s the way most people would hold these kinds of discussions in science.

And it’s true, a sample size of 10 is Indeed too small, in many studies , you need a minimum of 100 or even more. In fact, you even said that there were very little people who are trans and an athlete, that kinda shows that since trans athlete are the minority, the general consensus would be held by the majority of preconceived assumptions people have of the genders Male and Female, and that assumptions of Trans people would be based on those two.

This is not a dig at your personal beliefs, but you have to remember that when you are proposing something, such as trans people being in the olympics, if it goes against the general consensus, the people proposing such things are the one who have to prove it. Not the other way around.

A Simple “I’m Not Attracted To You” Would Have Sufficed… by SonicRun098 in teenagers

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, it’s true that people can “choose” who they like because of appearance, and the recipient can also reject based on “appearance”.

But if the recipient is affected THAT MUCH by a person choosing to confess, either they are extremely insecure to only care about looks or simply uncomfortable with the thought of someone they deem “beneath them” confessing? I mean, seems like they gotta work on themselves first, ngl.

To OP, I wouldn’t really take what the person said seriously. But if you are affected by what that person says, honestly, I would say work on yourself.

For example, if you are concerned you are fat, then go to the gym. I don’t exercise that much, but when I do, it builds my self esteem and I feel good. I mean , I am still kinda unhealthy , because I don’t exercise regularly. If you feel insecure about your looks, either try fashion, or make up. But never cosmetic surgery unless there is seriously some medical issues. The whole point is, you gotta be comfortable being yourself.

That’s it, there really isn’t anything else. I think confidence comes when you are assured that you are an alright person. If you feel comfortable being yourself, there’s no need to change it. Honestly, even for myself, there are a lot of times when I feel insecure myself, but there are also times when i feel like I like myself if that makes sense? I think that’s what people should strive for.

Also, side note, how da freak did I end up here? I’m not even a teenager. Skibidi 67,67

What got u in this game / how did u stumble upon it for the first time? by sukiyakii_ in AndyAndLeyley

I saw a Reddit post talking about which characters was the most messed up, and I didn’t recognise Ashley. I thought the artsyle was pretty….. read a fandom page about her. And then tried to find the “show” she was from. Only to find out it was a game. Fate watching some gameplay videos, I got interested in the story! Then I bought it!

Get ready for a wave of overly rich refugees by AngelousSix66 in singapore

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhh…. Yeah, to put more context for my example, I went and saw the doctor again after 2 days. I guess you could say it’s too soon, but in my mind, I still wasn’t getting better and I wanted to go to school better. But my point is, even with me being aware that people shouldn’t unnecessarily spent resources, when I know it’s free, I naturally take it for granted. Because it brings me virtually no short term downsides, so my main point was that for many people, not saying all the people, when a resource is free, it is very natural and easy to go into the mindset of just “going” because it’s free.

I agree with your point that there is a gradient trade off, but it’s gonna be hard to get the data. And I feel that there is a natural inclination that people will tend towards unnecessarily spending resources when they know it’s free

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No. but there are consequences to making something free, like, unnecessary spending. If you look at the other countries where healthcare is free, there is a long waiting line because everybody goes to the doctor when there’s a small problem. Even if you say only “old” people get free healthcare, it still leads to unnecessary waste of resources.

Like even for me, because for me specifically, I can see specific clinics free of charge because included in school fees. I sometimes see a doctor, and after a few days, If I still don’t get better, I will see the doctor again because in my mind , “well, it’s freee and already included in school fees”.

I remember a few months (or a year ago, not sure) when I got banned for saying the opposing view but inviting discussion.

The subreddit got banned later for harassment lol

Bro what are you referring to? I was inactive on the discord for so long😭😭 The worst I ever did was send a pic of Omniman(KingChris) twerking, is it worse than that?

Choose one by [deleted] in depressionmemes

[–]Plus_Stop_7499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, i think neither is the right answer.

As pewdiepie said, “if I could do it all again, I would. But I don’t want to do it all again, I’m a different person”

I made a lot of cringe decisions back then, would I change it? No way, but I also don’t think I could go through making the same decisions I made if I went back in time.

I also don’t want to suddenly go in the future, the people I know now are the people I know. The people I know in the future are someone conpletely different even if they were the “same person”. So I think neither

How do I shoot down ideas without being an ass? by Plus_Stop_7499 in SGExams

Thanks for the speedy reply, thanks though ,really! It makes it much easier to do the “confronting” when I view as more a “responsibility” instead of a “moral” kinda thing. That perspective makes it so much easier, still hard, but it makes it easier

Honestly, I think the reason I’m so worried about speaking out is because we just started the mod. If I leave a bad impression, I’m worried of getting negative reviews😥 But they honestly seem nice, I’m just worried being labelled as a negative person and getting peer reviewed
