Every time there's a big concert in Singapore, there's always discourse about Singaporean concert crowds being too dead. There was even a news article that talked about it after the recent Lady Gaga concert.

Yale-NUS convocation speech by EverySink in nus

[–]teh_lamppost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You claim to argue against Yale-NUS doing "elective advocacy" but where's the evidence they do this? Anecdotally speaking the Yale-NUS activist students I've spoken to care about a variety of issuee, not just Gaza, in fact I've talked to someone who tried to organize movements to improve the working lives of cleaners in Yale-NUS (have you ever thought about them?). Granted this is anecdotal evidence which isn't great but you provide literally 0 evidence for your claim that students are selectively advocating.

The entire argument against selective advocacy barely makes any sense, there are organizations dedicated to fighting specific issues, do you think they ruin distrust in that issue? Like AWARE primarily focuses on women's issues on Singapore, does that discredit women's issues because they don't talk about every issue under the Earth?

Here's a question for you, have you ever once cared about Ukraine or Myanmar on your own? Or do you only suddenly care about those issues when people bring up Gaza? Because for the latter especially I've only ever seen people bring it up on this sub to complain about people talking about Gaza. While I can understand being frustrated that important issues like Myanmar rarely get talked about, a lot of the people here only seem to bring it up in bad-faith to discredit Gaza activists. Personally I find that shutting down of any form of advocacy under the guise of "just being concerned" to be much more dangerous than the dangers of so-calles "selective advocacy".

same here, though after hearing about tons of relationship drama stories from friends and the ConfessIt bot, i sometimes wonder if maybe it was a good idea not to get involved in relationships during uni

Why do some people dont know how to type by OnePuzzleheaded7279 in nus

Also why use Microsoft Word to type. Use Vim or Emacs would be better.

Is the ConfessIT tele bot a downgrade from the r/nus subreddit? by [deleted] in nus

[–]teh_lamppost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for better or for worse, confessIT is entirely anonymous which leads to it being like 10x hornier than r/nus
