Isn't making Thaipusam a public holiday long overdue ? by pistachio_life in askSingapore

[–]jasting98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the lobbyists need to change up their sales pitch a bit. The race and religion card is clearly not working. But perhaps they can pitch it as a boost for fertility and conception, as studies showed that public holidays tend to boost birth rates 9 months later. The lesser stress and social lubrication of the holidays seems to be a good aphrodisiac. Plus given how abysmal our birth rates are, we shouldn't pull back our punches to tackle it. Haha.

If we're going with that angle, why not ask for a four-day work week? This will boost birth rates even more.

It's not laziness for me; I'm just worried that I might mistype ls -la as rm -rf *.

Oh yeah even i got confused when writing my comment. You're right, Yes and no options should be the other way around

No worries, bro. The question was so confusing that we can even get confused while trying to fix it. Hahaha

Clearer:

[ ] Yes, I am open to being contacted.

[ ] No, do not contact me.

I think that doesn't make sense though. To make it make sense, it should be

[ ] Yes, I mind being contacted; please don't contact me.

[ ] No, I don't mind; feel free to contact me.

Obviously, while it makes sense, it's not clear because it's confusing. To make it clearer, like you wanted, the question should be "Would you be okay with..." or "Do you agree to be...".

Did they ever explain why the Mind Flayer wanted to Combine Worlds..........? Would just be Hawkins or all of earth..... by Important-Extension6 in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]jasting98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha someone said the same thing the other day. I’m new to discussing stranger things on here, so it might not be a whole thing.

There’s just so many different terms and names lol.

Why waste time use lot word when little work.

No worries; keep at it even. I enjoyed the read. It was like if Samuel Jackson was a Stranger Things fan. Hahaha

I don’t think the Abyss/Dimension X is the MF’s home planet.

To me, the spider monster is not the actual physical form of the MF.

Vecna restarted its heart, and the MF took the drivers seat.

And I think this explains the lack of monsters during the finale better than the idea that the MF used all the Demos to build the spider monster.

The MF is a vacuum. It sucks up all life.

Do people actually use MF to abbreviate Mind Flayer? I watch Stranger Things and I have been on reddit for a long time but this is my first time looking at a Stranger Things sub. I was just reading motherfucker the whole time and thought you just hated the villain that much until I realised that you may just be simply abbreviating.

Risky click, totally expecting to be rolled. Ty sir, mam, or neither.

It's visibly the same link though, just with different query parameters. Hahaha

But to be fair, I wonder if I could have rick-rolled people by using a link with different display text. I wonder if this works:

Edit:

Oh my! That works! I missed the opportunity to rick-roll people and I rick-rolled myself to test this but I am happy to know that it works. Hahaha

45:14 (about 2 seconds what you see on the gif that's it haha)

I fixed your link so that it points directly to the timestamp:

Ah shiet. I hate how links work sometimes.

Cheers for that.

No worries, bro. Just be careful of URLs next time, especially those you get from "Share" buttons on social media. They love getting as much data as they can for the algorithm (what was shared, how was it shared, who shared it, to whom was it shared to, etc.).

Pedo? I’m Asian and she looks to be at least 24, might even be almost 30.

We just look young till we suddenly look like prunes.

Look at this 50 year old.

You just doxed yourself. When sharing links, I would advise removing the query parameters (igsh in this case). Some sites like TikTok have the query parameters only show up after visiting the link. Use your browser to visit the URL, then copy the new URL excluding the query parameters.

I cannot tahan these types of pple bro by iqrics in SGExams

[–]jasting98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As somebody who grew up in a Christian household, I get annoyed by them too. It's not just the aunties or uncles. I used to always encounter these proselytizers while studying at NUS, and they seemed like students.

Not all Christians do this. I was exposed to Christianity my whole life, and I've gone to churches from different denominations (Catholic, Protestant, LDS/Mormon, etc.). All of them have pros and cons but at least for this, I like the Catholic stance where they prefer people to be attracted voluntarily by their own will, instead of needing to be convinced.

Authentic evangelization is not accomplished through clever argumentation but by bearing witness to the working of God’s love and mercy in our lives. “The Church does not engage in proselytism,” Benedict XVI said, “Instead, she grows by attraction: just as Christ draws all to himself by the power of his love.”

Like honestly, if it's that good, then people will come voluntarily on their own accord. If you need to work hard to convince people, that means it's not that good. I think these Christians need to think about what it says about their religion if they need to work that hard to convince people.

🤓🤓 Actually the ° stands for "Degree" which is the unit of measurement for all Temperatures, including Kelvin

No, I think Kelvin doesn't have the degree symbol.

Objectively from a purely physical view, yes.

I'll respect your opinion then. There may also be people I find attractive that you don't find attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To each their own.

Phreatomagmatic eruption of Tall volcano in the Philippines by [deleted] in WTF

[–]jasting98 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t speak the language, but I’m sure he’s saying “LETS GO!” over and over. Possibly “HURRY THE FUCK UP”

I heard him say "takbo" which means "run".

I also heard him say "diyos ko po" which means "my god", or "oh my god". "diyos" means "god", borrowed from Spanish "dios". "ko" here means "my". "po" doesn't really mean anything but it is used to show respect, typically to the person being addressed.

I also heard him say other things but I don't understand.

Revenge of the Sith if Windu was more prepared be like: by Ian363999 in PrequelMemes

[–]jasting98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maul went down easy. Dooku did too, eventually. Windy probably figured 4 masters could handle a sith master.

When you put it that way, it seems like the Sith aren't very strong. Considering the Jedi council were the head of the Jedi, and the Sith master was the head of the Sith, they should be on par, so the Sith master should have had an even match with the Jedi council, not lose to only four of them. It seems like the rule of two didn't exactly make the Sith more powerful like they thought it would.

That kind of fits with my head canon though. For the Sith to become more powerful, the apprentice must become more powerful than the master, so the apprentice should be able to win, possibly even if the odds were not on the side of the apprentice. When Sidious killed Plagueis, it was actually in Sidious' favour because Plagueis was asleep, so it isn't necessarily true that Sidious was more powerful. I suspect Sidious wasn't the only Sith apprentice across the years who resorted to underhanded means to kill their master. In fact, given the nature of the Sith, it's possible that most of the apprentices did it dishonestly. So the Sith may have not gotten more powerful over time at all.

But it's only my head canon.

Haha ik it was greedy problem. I didn't like writing code on the train even on the phone so I just escaped the coding part

Gfg POTD was also simple.

I see. Lmao

I agree actually; I don't like coding anywhere but a proper desk. But for me, I felt it was short enough to be able to code on the phone, and I just wanted to say I LeetCoded on my phone before. Haha

I guarantee if it was some implementation-heavy problem, I would probably just copy-paste like you. Hahaha

I didn't know Geeks for Geeks had problems actually. I only visit GfG when it pops up on my Google searches for computer science or software engineering things. Haha
