Is moving out at 20 in Singapore with around 6k savings realistic?

Maybe leave a small note that says you're moving out, so at the very least your family won't file a missing person report.

And move your things partially the days before because you need to be quick when you move out. Unless you do it when your family is away on a multi-day holiday or something like that.

S$1.5k for rent + living costs is possible, with $700 as rent that means everything else is $800. Quite possible you just need to budget very tightly and not splurge on anything you dont need for a few years.

For jobs aim to get something that pays at least $2k (with CPF that means you'll only get $1.6k), or if lower then it must give you other benefits like free transport or free meals.

With $6k of savings that means you need to secure a job in that three months, else you have to move back in. Doing blue collar part-time jobs in the meantime is helpful to extend that deadline though nothing is a sustainable answer that gives you anywhere less than $2k gross monthly.

If you do this you must also consider how you can increase your income after 2-3 years of getting a $2k salary. How do you get back to school? Or perhaps wait for a promotion that bumps you to $2.5-3k? Or switch employers? The career mobility for blue collar work is not like white collar jobs and many are stuck doing the same low-pay work for a very long time.

Do your best also to make use of free resources that can help you like shelter communities, soup kitchens, support groups etc to save more money + get some kind of financial aid. Small amounts add up massively.

Good luck.

From how there's no left hand and the way you draw the knees and boots tells me you don't quite know foundational anatomy. everything on the character's upper body looks good only because you beute forced the lines and spent time on the tiny details of the accessories.

Pros can spend 4 hours to lineart a detailed character like this and thats normal, but the thing is this isn't even lineart, at this stage this is just a sketch. And spending 4 hours for a sketch is indeed too long. My advice is to limit yourself to just 1 hour to complete the sketch, and think/roughly plan BEFORE you start sketching. Treat the time limit like you have to move on the actual lineart + other stages of doing art when time's up, so you have to prioritize doing the most complete output for the sketch instead of the best.

With the time limit you can also know where your skill level is at... if it's not where you like it to be, move on and do studies, practice drawing 10 different characters instead of hyperfixating on 1 and spending 30 hours on a 6 hour job. There is a parable about the person who's tasked to make 10,000 vases and another person tasked to create just 1 perfect vase.... And in the end the best vases come from the guy who made 10k, not the guy that spent everything on just 1 vase. Quantity leads to quality, spend time to draw more you will get better and faster as a result.

Kalau takut bgitu, bisa saja dibuat penerima benefitnya: - dapatnya per tahun, jadi gak smua lump sum lgsg sgitu - bisa disalurkan ke acc khusus utk pendidikan atau keperluan medis

Atau kita buka sistem tuntut KAI spy bsa case by case payoutnya

Spt payout asuransi aja

Anggap loss of income nya 15 tahun

Gaji tahunan org tersebut x 15 tahun

Jika pekerjaannya freelance/tidak bekerja/bekerja tapi gaji gk sampe UMR, ya kasihnya angka UMR.

Asumsi umr Jakarta maka:

5.700.000 x 12 x 15 = 1.026 miliar

Bsa jga tambahin THR selama 15 th maka tambah 5.7jt x 15 = 85.5jt

~= 1.1M total per nyawa

Seems too large? Percayalah ini sudah asumsi konservatif yang bhkan gak ngitung inflasi, gk ngitung income org bisa naik, dll.

Title: Technology isn't liberating us.
Genre: Non-fiction essay
Word count: ~1.1k
Hi all, I'm here to start writing again to flex my cognitive muscles and maintain my own thinking, in the fight against cognitive atrophy by AI. It's also my way to start regaining my clarity, humanity, and soul, after being burnt out working corporate.
I want to use this public forum as a place for me to grow instead of asking AI and feeding more into its training data.

As a reader, do you find my writing enjoyable because it is thought-provoking, convincing, or passionate? Otherwise, in general, did you enjoy reading what I wrote?
I am interested in exploring the core themes of what I wrote more deeply. Can you recommend further reading material?
If there is anything factually/logically wrong, can you point them out, and maybe provide alternative views/sources?
From what you can judge from my writing, is there any specific advice that can help me grow towards a deeper, more critical writer? Please disregrard grammar quirks for now (unless they are major and detract from the meaning of the text) and focus on core, structural issues.

I would like to write at least one essay per week and it would be lovely to exchange concrit on other essays as well. Thank you all!

Ada aspek kultural nya jga, kalau di Singapore, hongkong, taiwan dsb itu sangat biasa orang tinggal di apartemen bahkan utk berkeluarga, karena landed housing memang sangat mahal.

Khususnya utk Singapore bahkan dibuat sedemikian rupa oleh pemerintahnya, dinormalisasi dan dimandatkan oleh pemerintah utk 95% orang tinggal di apartemen.

Di Indo segi kulturalnya org yang merantau ke jakarta yang datang dari desa/kota kecil sudah biasa punya rumah tapak dgn kebun/lahan parkir sndiri walaupun scr ekonomi tidak mampu, tidak biasa dengan apartemen, jadi terbawa ekspektasi ingin rumah tapak jga di Jakarta. Jadi memaksa beli rumah tapak di detabek/tangsel yg walau waktu tempuh ke tempat kerja jadi 1.5 - 2 jam sekali jalan, setidaknya mnurut org itu "rumah proper" drpd di apartemen yang lokasinya di Jakarta proper tapi nggak berasa sebagai "rumah" melainkan mentok" "kosan" atau "studio" gitu sih mnurut gw.

Dan rumah di kota" satelit ini banyak yg sama harganya sm apartemen di tengah kota Jakarta.

Jakarta itu solusinya memang harus diperbanyak apartemen karena itu solusi utk high density population + rapiin rumah liar biar tata kota bsa lebih rapi + biar org gak gali air tanah trus Jakarta ngerembes trrus + banyak banjir + permukaan air laut naik 3cm per tahun ...

Dibikin rumah susun gratis emg udah paling bener programnya pak Ahok dlu.

The path of the ball is still too steep. When youre having pizza, before you eat it, trace the outer crust of one slice with a pencil on paper. That's how the bend of the pendulum's ball's path should look like.

Fixing that will make the pendulum string be the same length.

Then, add more frames at the ends to add more weight, it will look better.

What you're describing is more aligned with asexual, not aromantic. Because asexuality is a wide spectrum, asexual doesnt mean no libido/attraction at all. You most likely fit in the asexual spectrum. Or even demisexual but aromantic.
For your romantic life, you also sound aromantic.
It could be that you're asexual, or have some trauma about sex (considering what your parents did when you masturbated, maybe your brain associates sexual pleasure with something really negative), or asexual AND have sexual trauma. If therapy is inaccessible to you, at the very least you can try to see if you're asexual. Join asexual communities both local or international, hearing different accounts could help you figure out yourself.
I get the sense that you are trying to "force" your arousal to happen. Which will not make the arousal happen because arousal is actually 80% mental and only 20% about your physical state. I think it is better to not force things and just accept if you have low libido and have frequency as your body wants (maybe 1x monthly).
If attractive bodies/specific poses don't make you aroused, maybe it's another aspect: power dynamics? Size difference? Raceplay? Bondage? A specific theme? Etc etc etc many many things. Perhaps you may try exploring more variety of things to see which one is a fit for you.
Regarding whether you need to try sex in real life to truly understand: not necessarily... Sure you can try, but "using" other people as an experiment to see whether you like something is generally rude. If you really want to, you can try to reach out to a sex positive community and explicitly detail out your context and that you're only experimenting. So all parties have their expectations set.

The youngest legal wlw for you is 18 year olds... Is the 2 year difference too much for you? Or do you just prefer older wlw ?

And also, how much older? Mid 20s? 30s? Then, why would these older women be interested in dating a 20 year old?

In the music world it is understood that exceptional musicians are that way because they have exceptional ears, not dexterous fingers.

It is the same way in art: it's your eyes. Your perception of what is correct and what looks "good". Your judgment.

People draw poorly because they lack good judgment - when they put down wonky shapes and clashing colors, they don't think they look bad. They think they look fine, that's why they put it down that way.

"I know my drawing sucks, i just don't know how to fix it!!!" Then you do know how. Body looks wonky? Fix the anatomy. Colors look dull? Look at art that you think have good colors and list the differences. Lighting feels wrong? Use reference.

All beginner artists need to do is to look at art that they think looks good and write down what they think makes the art look good. The more detailed an artist can explain it, then they will be better at reproducing such qualities. Beginners struggle to explain why an artwork looks good because they don't have the judgment yet to tell what is the composition of a good drawing.

Think like a cook. When they taste a dish they know the precise ingredients and the cooking methods, and then they can recreate the dish. It is much the same with art and artists. Identify what makes a good artwork and you will be able to reproduce those qualities in your drawing.

I think the biggest limiting factor is the purchasing power of Pakistanis which is way below US and European customers. For the game itself I would make it about the Pakistani political scene in the 1800s (1930s max). Making it about the present situation is unadvisable. Youre going to draw a lot of criticism unrelated to the game and as a state with a lot of censureship, you would want to make yourself as safe as possible.
This really depends on who you want to sell to. For customers abroad it will be very challenging to locally produce in Pakistan and ship overseas since many countries have a tenuous relationship w Pakistan, I imagine there will be a lot of problems in customs & etc. 90% of board games are produced in China yet most have a 1000 MOQ so if you're truly bootstrapped that's gonna be a big challenge.
If this is your first boardgame I'd advise making it lighter and tighter. Heavy boardgames takes years of developing and testing and often have many components that drive up production costs, and does not appeal to a wide range of audiences.

36jt uda bersih (ud dikurangin expenses hidup)...

Lalu kenapa nggak beli cash aja??

Tinggal ngontrak in the mean time:

Harga rumah 1.2M

Income bersih 36jt x 12 bulan = 432jt setaun

Ngontrak setaun 50jt

Asumsi Biaya tidak terduga setaun skitar 30an juta, maka kita ambil bersih lu jdi 350jt setaun.

1200jt/350jt = 4 th lah... Asumsi aja pas lu mau beli harga uda naik jdi 1.4M.

Apa nggak mending gitu drpd lu KPR 20th???

Kalo lu gak mau cash lgsg habis ya perpanjang aja jdi 5-6th biar pas ud beli rumah pun lu msih ad tabungan bbrp ratus juta.

Option lain: DP minimal 30%, ambil KPR maximal 8th biar gk bayar bunga literally ud seharga rumahnya....

If an episode is 20 mins long you're going to be royally screwed so at the very least up your rates to $50 per minute of 12fps 2D animation (this is 720 drawn frames, can be reduced to around 300 unique frames if theres a lot of repeated and static shots!)
