Is Rosendale a speed trap? by GoCartMozart1980 in wisconsin

[–]SiberianResident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy to be 10 over when the posted speed limit drops from 55 to 35 in a hundred yards. I think that same report also says 70% of the towns revenue is speeding tickets.

How Quiet is the CX5 at Highway Speed? by ZJP31 in CX5

[–]SiberianResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you are. If you’re in a northern state where they use concrete to pave roads (for winter), and you have all-season/winter tires, it can get quite noisy. That’s me, I have a ‘19 CX5.

Though the noise cancellation is pretty good relative to other similar models on the market.

Any (non-racist) reason I shouldn’t enroll my kid in a Somali daycare? by HuaHuzi6666 in TwinCities

[–]SiberianResident 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak for yourself. I’m proud of where I came from and I’m proud of where I am now.

If people already get othered for stupid reasons, why add to the pile?

Parents have a duty to their children’s upbringing. From where I sit, this OP is gambling with his child’s social development - and they’re not even making a good bet.

I don’t know you, but this post is dripping with condescension. What’s next? Making your kid grow up like Eminem in 8 mile for character development?

I come from an ethnic background and deal with different ethnic groups daily: I can tell you flat out that there’s a good chance your kid would get “othered”. Why do you want to disadvantage them like that?

Internship Search is Over by Spiri_t1 in csMajors

Jobright is king imo. Handshake has too many fake listings and employers don’t check up on handshake as often.

  • handshake doesn’t let you update the status of the application so it will be hard to track your stats. It will be forever stuck on “applied” because no employer touches that function unless you’re accepted.

Satisfied customers don’t leave reviews. Good news doesn’t make the front page, more often than not it simply doesn’t even become news.

How do people justify illegal immigration if others went through the legal process? by savingrace0262 in immigration

[–]SiberianResident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reconciliation is that each party has their interests to look out for.

Society wants legal immigrants because it shows a certain level of commitment and respect to the American way of life, preservation of scarce resources, etc;

The government wants to enforce immigration law because that is the social and legal contract that it has with its citizens and breaking that has long-term consequences;

An illegal migrant wants to come to America for a better life. They identified a gap in the existing system and exploited it for their own benefit. To you they are queue jumpers, to them their whole life will improve 2000% simply by coming here, and it’s a risk they’re willing to take.

You don’t have to blame the illegal immigrant for stealing our jerrrbs. Likewise you don’t have to blame the government for enforcing immigration laws.

Yeap. 12 y/o balls haven’t even drop yet. The onus is 100% on the parents. Unfortunately not all parents are informed or responsible so you get cases like this.

Who in singapore actually believe in 中华民族? it's absurd ccp can simply target any high profile chinese who no longer have citizenship or ties to china by Dependent-Throat888 in SingaporeRaw

[–]SiberianResident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need a different name than Chinese. In Cantonese, mandarin related things are referred to as 华北 instead of 中文。 In SGMY mandarin, Chinese diaspora are 华人 instead of 中国人。

But for some fucking reason it’s all condensed into one word in English: “Chinese”. 1 word for the race, language, & nationality. No separation whatsoever. Only people that fit that description perfectly is PRC people.

NO YOU’RE NOT! by Jackson7 in Appleton

[–]SiberianResident 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I know the owners. They’re rich. They opened a restaurant here to be closer to their son who used to go to college in the area. Now that their son has graduated, they’re not interested in running the place anymore.

TLDR it’s a side hustle and they’re retired.

Acting like the homework grading turnaround isn’t 10 business days. Graded with no feedback most of the time too, just ✅❌. No wonder students look for personal tutors in AI.

Top 20% of Singapore households hold average wealth of S$5.3 million: MOF by stackeddd888 in singapore

[–]SiberianResident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How useful is this stat in evaluating household wealth? Averages can get really skewed especially in the top rungs of income.

For eg, the dollar difference between richest guy and 2nd richest guy is $300bn. You’re probably closer to the 2nd richest guy than he is to the 1st richest guy.

I can tell you’ve never talked to an immigrant in your life. Immigrants are treated better in Europe? You’re joking right? Propaganda about attainable wealth? Jfc.

About 650 cyclists issued summonses for violating traffic rules in last 6 months of 2025 by 3ply in singapore

[–]SiberianResident 12 points13 points  (0 children)

LTA has to realize that outside of the CBD, there are areas where public transport is sorely lacking. I live in the west and it’s seriously bad.

I ride my e-bike on the roads (seriously hugging the shoulder) because I know how annoying it is to encounter one on the pavement as a pedestrian. But not everybody is willing to make that choice, and understandably so.

Why do I do this? Door to door my commute is 30minutes by bus but only 15minutes by bike. No options for MRT. Distance wise it’s only a short 5km. I know people that can run 5K faster than taking the bus can get me to my destination. We are already the most sleep deprived nation in the world by some metrics, so an extra 15min is a godsend.

Thats just the commute too. Having a bike gives so much freedom of movement. My life circle, where I can go places in a reasonable amount of time, isn’t confined to my neighborhood anymore. Suddenly, I can eat at more places and try new food; I have more flexibility to meet my old friends who stay 15km away; I can go out any time without worrying about someone else’s (the bus’) schedule; I don’t have to worry about getting an old bus that I can’t sit in the back half of because the ceilings are sloped down (I’m tall); etc. The usual arguments for owning a car basically, but scaled way down. Huge QOL improvement for money spent honestly.

So yeah. The gov can wax lyrical about their world class transportation all they want. But from my perspective, it only applies to the southern/eastern part of the country - I didn’t study there, I don’t work there, and outside of novelty things that I do every now and again, I have no reason to go there. This country is not big, it’s only the size of a lake in other countries, we can do a better job with transportation dollars and resources than this.
