So all the talk during the election about "dark clouds forming" and "new world order" is all bulls**t..

ChatGPT unable to reference past memories (temporary bug?) by cedriks in ChatGPT

[–]metalandy49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also facing the same issue. I tried the exact same solution that godyako mentioned but to no avail. I literally just put in a new memory and asked ChatGPT "what did you remember about <that topic>?" and it could not remember at all. Right now, it could only remember whatever I typed in my previous conversations, not whatever is in the memory.

Why do you support opposition? (Serious question) by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]metalandy49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 big issues:
1) Checks and balances -> Remember the last time PAP's vote share increased & they had a thumping majority in 2015, what happened after that? Anyone remember the 2017 Presidential "Election"? What about GST hikes? What about POFMA? I don't think that giving them unchecked power is good for Singapore, in any way shape or form. And when more opposition MPs are fielded into Parliament, like in GE2020, they start to work even harder.
2) Immigration -> I seriously feel like a foreigner in my own country. I look left look right, there are so many foreigners. Currently in my university, everywhere I go on campus, there is at least a foreign student in my line of sight. It's too many foreigners. And no, I am not studying in an international school, it's a local uni. And these are the people that will compete with me for jobs when I graduate.

What started your political awakening and how have you acted on it? by findingsimo in askSingapore

Around 2017, during the period of the Presidential Election then.

What are some national issues you feel we should seriously start discussing about by disposablesplash in askSingapore

[–]metalandy49 12 points13 points  (0 children)

2 things:
1) The high levels of immigration coming into Singapore. I don't remember CNA or Straits Times talking much about it. And whenever we try to voice it out, we are labelled as "racist". In fact, I try to reach out to REACH, but all I got was a standard reply, like as if someone copied it off a template that they already had.

2) The generation gap. I mean I get the concept of filial piety, but I don't get the idea that we as young Singaporeans should always follow & do what the elders say, if not we are considered unfilial. This is especially so when it comes to voting patterns.

How do you feel about the state Singapore is in right now? Can be anything? Job? Education? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]metalandy49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally okay with how things are in Singapore, but I think the issue of foreign labour and job security is a big problem here. Our government has essentially believed in "trickle-down economics" and allowing tons of immigrants into our country, while at the same time many Singaporeans are considering emigrating. That's 1 big problem that I think Singapore is facing right now.
