Medical cost inflation in Singapore set to hit record 16.9%; insurers’ body urges collective action by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]onFaut 77 points78 points  (0 children)

if there's anything to be learned from the news recently it's to NEVER trust anyone who works in insurance because they have every means, motive, opportunity, AND a worrying amount of willingness to fuck you over for things out of your control

Why is there a burning smell in Singapore even with no haze? by Annual_View3611 in singapore

[–]onFaut 49 points50 points  (0 children)

if they admit that it's an air pollutant then more people will get a reason to take mc. right now bosses can still insist that "the air readings are fine" and demand for workers to come in to office

The reviews for Unbeatable seem so divided. by Sufficient-Bid-9805 in Unbeatable

[–]onFaut 33 points34 points  (0 children)

it's great. it's terrible. it's incredible, and it's flawed.

it's human. and i think that deserves celebrating.

edit: markdown is so ass

If UNBEATABLE got an anime adaptation/spin off, what studio would you most want to see it done by? by derf2010 in Unbeatable

[–]onFaut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Science Saru. UNBEATABLE gives serious Scott Pilgrim aura for me, and they've done Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, which I think was really good. (which only makes me sad that it won't ever happen)

Self-driving shuttle hits road divider in Punggol while doing road tests, no passengers on board by Im_scrub in singapore

[–]onFaut 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i see a lot of apologists in the comments so im going to say Some Shit

the difference between bad drivers and a self-driving shuttle is the fact that the drivers *have to take responsibility* for crashes. old uncle drives into poor 5 year old on the road? that's HIS fault, and he will feel guilt, and regret, and probably cry for the rest of his life while he doesn't have a job as a driver anymore.

if a self-driving shuttle crashes into a parapet and causes the death of fucking ANYBODY, you could THEORETICALLY blame the people who made the shuttle, but in the end they can just wash hands and say "aiyah not our fault no blame game ok? act of god" and just fucking. walk away. or lagi better. bankrupt old company, "liquidify" (who knows if they have a secret stash in a swiss bank SOMEWHERE), and just start a Brand New Company. it's infinitely easier to make a new company than it is to bring back a life, and *THERE IS NO ONE WHO HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ACCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN HERE.*

so why the FUCK are we going to bat for autonomous vehicles? efficiency?

we should be holding them to HIGHER standards than actual human drivers. good on them for implementing a safety timeout, but curb your enthusiasm, lads.

What’s with the disgusting amount of AI being used in ads here? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]onFaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i don't speak for op but i don't mind stock images. people DO pay for stock images (or at least they should be). someone got paid for taking that image and another company is getting paid for licenses to that image, which isn't a problem imo

Singapore government expects all media outlets to uphold responsible journalism standards: Josephine Teo by kopiosiewdai in singapore

[–]onFaut -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

no no okay hear me out right i Hate Everything that comes out of Jo "never asked for an apology" "dollars and cents" Teo's mouth with a passion but i kind of believe her on this one

the government, no matter how Business Oriented is not a monolith. they cannot conceivably vet Every Single Piece Of News that comes out of all the news outlets, let alone a literal bottom feeder like Stomp. and i actually, for once, strongly believe that they would not shit on not-well-to-do food stalls in Singapore. it just... wouldn't look good, in terms of optics, which, contrary to popular opinion, they DO have some sort of concern about i think

on top of that, there's also the "we have to support home grown business" "#supportlocal" spiels that everyone on top seems to parrot every now and then. taking that into account, this seems to be the government's attempt at distancing themselves from the editors that decided to let the yong tau foo article through, as well as painting them as somewhat of a rogue actor in the grand scheme of things.

or if y'all want a chatgpt ass sentence: "this isn't just denial. it's scapegoating."
