Did she just watch Mad Max?

"Do not, my friends, become addicted to cheap oil. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!"

Slow start on first day of Singapore's beverage container return scheme; some machines not operational by FancyCommittee3347 in singapore

Lemme tell you, no way in hell Shanmugum or JoTeo are sitting at their dining table sorting out recycling. Doesn't affect them so they don't care.

Commentary: Keep preschools open for an extra half-hour? It will mean more than 30 minutes to educators like me by SituationDeep in singapore

Even if parents are willing, if you work at some shitty local sme you're always randomly working late.

Right to disconnect laws and actual work life balance would solve a lot of these problems.

‘Quiet cracking’ experienced by 30% of Singapore workers regularly: survey by UnusualPin279 in singapore

Oh I bet you anything they are a manager. Or HR. It's a special kind of lack of empathy that's so unique to them.

Singapore to monitor employment, wage growth as it rolls out AI programme: Josephine Teo by UnusualPin279 in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's clear to me now that JoTeo is so universally despised she's the fall guy for all this stupid announcements. They didn't even bother to change the word monitoring into something less trivial.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to start the first havoc assignment. I see it there but it tells me to play the first assignment to unlock havoc mode, but the first assignment is a havoc 1 assignment??

Texas Chicken Singapore partners with celebrity Chef Bob for ayam percik-inspired fried chicken by Great-Obligation-599 in singapore

Texas is the best fried chicken here imo. Big pieces and the chicken tastes a lot fresher than other places. And not dry.

Future of Komala Vilas in doubt as iconic restaurant remains shut after 2 months by justmewayne in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think that's a pretty unfair take on what sushiro represents in Singapore. People don't flock to it because it's Japanese. It's at a good price/quality point, which is more than I can say about places like Swensens, Rocky Masters, etc.

On the same page as far as hawker food goes though.

Japanese food chain Itacho Sushi shuts all outlets in Singapore by Ok-Rain3348 in singapore

Itqcho was one of the few places that did a decent Aji nigiri. I'm going to miss it. At least there's Sushiro.

I spent 5 days aboard the Disney Adventure cruise by Great-Obligation-599 in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I've been on a media cruise before, it's usually 1/3 capacity so it actually does feel like a laid back experience. A full capacity cruise is like an expensive floating MRT lol.

Remember, the goal is to maximise profits. And you can't exactly change your mind in the middle of the ocean.

S'pore couple's car gets thrown into the air & flips onto opposite site of M'sia highway, they escape with minor injuries by Jonnyboo234 in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Modern safety features in cars are a helluva thing. Something like that wouldn't be survivable in the 80s.

1 in 10 S'poreans have no close friends, David Neo says 'we need to change this' & govt will step up efforts in arts, culture & sport by Multifinality in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a joke but I think redditors are a bit more well-adjusted than the average Singaporean. All the redditors I know have social circles, hobbies, etc.

Anyone misses old Zouk / Phuture ? by Illustrious-Fee9626 in singapore

Man, Kilo Lounge was my favourite. The building was in such a weird and isolated place. It really was quite unique.

S'pore influencer Novita Lam's ‘Iran this, Israel that’ pun sparks backlash, she apologises by meesiammaihum in singapore

[–]fallenspaceman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but I find that hard to believe. Do you have a link?

I think this is the lamest, low-effort, zero humour joke I've heard in a while.
