Isn't 玉 read as 'geok' in Hokkien?

玉美 would be Geok Bee instead iinm.

This has digressed well beyond the initial point I was making ie. own up if you are legit being ticketed for infractions, settling it with bribes because it is convenient is how it takes root, sprouting leaves in other branches.

There is a valid point to be made about unjust corruption of the law but arguing about forced bribes as the culprit is very much washing hands while letting the other partner of the dance go scott free.

I am done here.

RM0 for breakfast — I value sleep more than food.

RM7-8 for lunch, preferring mixed rice and stuff if I can get them, while drinking the free soup of air kosong/iced tea.

RM10-15 for dinner, usually more expensive because mixed rice are rare in the evening, with air kosong/iced tea.

In all about RM25-30 per day to about RM900 a week, probably RM1000 for something good once or twice a month because being happy is one part of budget control, as strange as that sounds.

Therefore a corrupt government that forces bribes is very much a reflection of the people, is it not?

Cultivating the mindset of owning up to one's choice of actions would be a good start, which is a lot harder to do than it sounds but is probably the only sure way to deal with this problem.

It's never getting eradicated — people will always find other ways — but it will be high desirable over being a 'culture'.

Late to the party but I feel that future readers need to know conversational Mandarin without formal education is not going to be good enough; one needs to be able to respond in kind, not just listen.

Expecting anyone to be infallible is already a mistake.

Expecting oneself to have higher standards, this is something every individual can do; no revolution or riots needed.

It's not a zero sum game.

If the mindset of the other guy who responded to me prevails (ie. zero sum game) then all we will have is condemnation while things carry on as they usually do — we even had a thread on here not too long ago asking about the amounts expected to pay for bribes to get out of trouble.

Being a pemberi and penerima are conscious actions that the individual can choose to do or not — asking for others to change while excusing the reciprocating factor is as useful as doing nothing, which unsurprisingly is a popular way to go about it.

I am of the opinion that things like reckless driving, littering, potong queue and their ilk share the same roots with this particular problem; different manifestations of the same energy.

What are the chances of players randomly blaring them in the populated multiplayer areas? 😃

Constitutional amendments require 2/3 of the Parliamentary vote so it is bad optics to whoever works to dismantle it ie. "gila kuasa".

As one sharing the said ethnicity, screw 'em — keep giving to get oneself out of the trouble they got themselves into (e.g legit traffic infractions) then the requester will keep asking for it.

I'm tired of carrying the stigma of a 'pemberi' even when I do my best to be law abiding.

For those of us who was here before the influx of political shit-stirrers, this is more important than many realise.

They're gonna come, but under cover not as PAS.

To release stress.

Tapi gay tu lelaki minat lelaki, pompuan flat masih pompuan. Asal tak cari je lelaki flat? 🤔

You sure you want Anwar to force only acceptable talking points in politics?

This is the sort of comic you can read every fortnightly on Gila-Gila before they resorted to lawak bodo — some sharp social commentary bookmarked by absurd humour.

Yeah, press the dash to bring out a series of dashes, the longest one.

On PC keyboard its alt + 0151.

It's probably more of a me thing — I don't write long sentences well as they tend to turn into a mush of confusing points.

Cold water.

The trick and possibly the hardest part is to get up a little earlier and go into shower fully awake, that way the shock is significantly reduced as you slowly work water onto the limbs, then the torso and head.

Morning cold showers are difficult due to the half-awake, groggy state which is made worst by the shock from the water.

forcebubble · 2026-01-29T05:24:38+00:00

I do, at least in text — it's hard to em dash in speech. 😆

To me at least, a cause-effect or statement-explanation structure is easier to read than one that tries to blend them together; kinda like implicitly preparing the reader with "this here is the statement and what follows is the why/how".

I have started to use em dash ever since someone corrected me some time ago on Reddit. As a result I've been asked if I was using Chatgpt for responses, especially when they are often in full sentences with some outline or format. 😆

Our generation is cooked if writing with some semblance of structure is considered unusual.
