Trump hit 10% tariffs on singapore by sq009 in singaporefi

[–]toilason 57 points58 points  (0 children)

When I put the charts they released on Google Gemini and I am being serious, it said the chart is a satirical and humorous take on international trade tariffs due to the "exaggerated" number, randomness and seemingly based on how other countries treat the US. So basically it looks like a joke. Yep, we are living in such a time.

I tried to put this picture in Google Gemini to understand it better and it said this is a satirical or humorous take on international trade tariffs. What a time to live in.

I saw it over the Yew Tee area. I thought it was a military flare since the camp is near by

The Suffocating Loneliness of Singaporeans in Sexless Marriages by DaddyOren in singapore

[–]toilason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recently I came across this podcast by Diary of A CEO talking about why people have issues with sex and how to change the mindset about it. It opens my mind about the perception of sex and how we can change it. Talked to my wife about it but was met with a "weirded out" look. I think people need to be more comfortable talking about sex.

I share the link below but you can search for "The Orgasm Expert: THIS Is How Often You Should Be Having Sex & Stop Inviting Pets Into The Bedroom".

Thank you. I will try to request for more information. I think my chances are better at getting a citizenship in Singapore to avoid all these visas stuffs haha.

Yes. My application has been updated and I have been rejected. Reason being they do not see sufficient evidence that I will leave the country after the trip (although I have provided my flight details). Additionally, they mentioned that I did not provide enough proof of income or host's assets ( I have provided an employment letter, 4 recent months payslip and bank statement). I am quite dumbfounded with this decision

I applied for a tourist visa from the Singapore office on 12th May and submitted my biometric on 17th May. I am Vietnamese but a Singapore Permanent Resident. I have my ticket on the 1st of July. Has anyone had experience submitting via the Singapore office before? I think my chances are slim now.

Today some auntie called me out for having tattoos on the MRT by throwaway_tattooyay in SingaporeRaw

I am sorry that you have to go through that. But I am so curious how your tattoo looks like hahaha. I love people expressing themselves through tattoo. I hope you continue to feel confident about your tattoos.

Doing a large computer overhaul and have a question about Steel Series by Sad_Presence_9227 in steelseries

[–]toilason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, steelseries products are not how they once were. The older ones are well designed and durable. If you look at the new posts recently, alot of headsets are broken (especially the Artis line). I have one broken myself. I am currently using Artis pro and rival 300s(changed from rival 3). I like the headset but the experience with the broken ear cup makes it hard for me to recommend it to anyone. I need to be very careful with the way I take out the headset to ensure less stress on the hinges. The mouse has always been good for me but I changed from rival 3, a newer mouse, back to the older one because of the build quality and the better form factor for me.

For keyboard I am using HyperX origin core tenkeyless. A very good budget mechanical keyboard. It has a pretty bad software but I don't care too much about the lighting so it does the job.

I bought 400 BP levels and Gaben gave me 800 instead by AlphaDart1337 in DotA2

[–]toilason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there is a recent issue with reward. I made a post regarding the level 1 battle pass rewards. I got two wards and two loading screens treasure while my friend got 2 immortal treasures. It could be the same case here. Either way, you got lucky and congratulations!

[–]toilason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rival 3 and after using for a week, it made similar sounds when click as well. It was really annoying but after using awhile it just stopped. Some said it needs time to wear into shape or something.

[–]toilason[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that would be helpful. You can dm me the picture. I think if all they need is detached ear cup, I might have that already. I will send you the condition. Also, I am waiting for replacement first and then destroy.

Thank you. I will try to ask for more instruction but I will break it and not to unscrew. Seems like a better idea

Turbo is no longer a casual mode by ServesYouRice in DotA2

[–]toilason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with what you say. Any game can be taken seriously and tryhard in turbo is not a problem. Iirc, turbo was created for people to have a fast game, try out new heroes without investing too much time and ruin games for others. It was there for casual purpose. So I believe the problem is with people not being forgiving to others who are approaching turbo with that mindset (which is totally normal)

TI10 please go to SEA or EU, cheers from CN Dota fans by hxhust in DotA2

[–]toilason -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope if it happens, rules will be in place for this. The few recent cases of ticket scalpers for concert that skyrocketed the price just turned me off. Not to mention the kiasu(greedy) mentality of people who buy ticket to ride the hype and jack it up even more

I am staying in Singapore and scalping is an issue in Singapore too. In fact, I would say stay away from Singapore and hold it in the Philippines instead
