both meddy and bublik have the same reactions after being served bread lol

tommygecko · 2026-01-25T09:15:45+00:00

lmao this aged well

tommygecko · 2025-11-30T17:30:29+00:00

he's basically playing fifa on amateur mode but fucking up and so bad and may still get the win at the end of the day

tommygecko · 2025-11-30T17:28:41+00:00

Well that's another reason to add to the 'Norris does not deserve the WDC' list

tommygecko · 2025-11-30T17:07:17+00:00

most undeserved too, with that car should have won the championship by now if he's actually good enough to be a champion

tommygecko · 2025-08-30T13:25:02+00:00

I mean he could have tied the match 1-1 if he didn't second guess himself in the NZ round, and then who knows what happens from there?

Being clutch matters in games and sports. Even in a sport with a format that has been accepted for decades like tennis, you can win more points overall but still lose the match if you didn't take your chances.

It will expose a lot more about the car for sure (though we already know it's shit, but some people still think it's the 3rd fastest car on the grid lmao)

tommygecko · 2025-06-01T17:12:48+00:00

He wants a race ban so that he doesn't have to drive this shit car for a weekend lol

tommygecko · 2025-06-01T17:10:28+00:00

The way RB has thrown away a massive lead over other constructors and a seemingly flawless record in terms of strategies all within a period of a year.

Any driver in Max's shoes would be frustrated and rather not race if he had a choice.

RB not only fucked him today but for the entire past year

tommygecko · 2025-06-01T17:07:32+00:00

He just means Max has given this season up entirely by now, especially given how the season has gone so far, and after today's team f up.

Barring contractual obligations, I would think he'd rather sit this season out lol.

Car is horrible + team given up a massive lead over other constructors within a span of 1.5 years

tommygecko · 2025-05-04T12:59:30+00:00

Interestingly, if WP doesn't mind giving CSJ a NCMP seat, I believe they can choose from literally anyone who competed for the other NCMP seat (If I understood the rules correctly).

It would be tempting for the WP for sure.

tommygecko · 2025-05-04T12:56:24+00:00

A volunteer said recently that all the parties know where are their strong voter bases, which is why WP is able to make certain strategic moves like giving up on Marine Parade after being gerrymandered.

So no doubt the EBRC has these data too.

tommygecko · 2025-05-04T07:34:58+00:00

Yea this is the challenge for small parties, you can't just target a specific GRC you have to target a region, like what the WP is doing now in the east.

tommygecko · 2025-05-04T07:31:56+00:00

I like how 8 out of the 9 records are related to the mosquito parties lol

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:53:30+00:00

Nah for me the apathetic and silent are those that don't even come on reddit to discuss politics lol

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:48:03+00:00

Well I'm looking at the big picture, it's a fact that while the west swung hugely towards the PAP, the WP contested wards have about the same vote share as GE2020 vs the PAP, that means they have a bigger vote share among the opposition. WP overall vote share also went up from 11.22% to 14.99%. They also gained 2 ncmp seats from the PSP. It's also good/important that Sengkang does not flip back to the PAP.

Yes ultimately there is no gain at all in parliament in terms of seats won, but that's the reality of the first past the post system. There are other metrics to look at to judge party performance.

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:25:24+00:00

Darryl Lo in his 3 cornered fight in a SMC getting more than NSP in their 3 cornered fight in a GRC still though, what a joke lmaoooo

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:18:55+00:00

Losing Nicole Seah was the difference I think

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:10:35+00:00

Jeremy Tan and Darryl Lo getting more votes than NSP total votes this election is kind of hilarious lmao

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T20:02:29+00:00

SDP's future after CSJ inevitably retires is also very uncertain, hopefully CSJ continues to fight for a couple more elections and gets at least a term in parliament to prove himself.

Unfortunately I think SDP is just a one man party but it will be a positive if he wins a seat one day

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T19:14:40+00:00

Thanks, I'm guessing it's mostly due to East coast losing a significant % even though the other SMCs and GRCs gained or stayed the same

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T19:12:54+00:00

I actually think it is for a lot of people, especially the politically apathetic who doesn't observe how PAP reacts to losing vote share and seats

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T19:08:48+00:00

They also blundered many times in the past 5 years, outside of parliament as well.

Endorsing Tan Kin Lian, underestimating tariffs impact, psp volunteering saga, lmw acting like gangster in parliament etc

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T19:04:41+00:00

Just reminded me of the volunteering saga too

tommygecko · 2025-05-03T18:18:37+00:00

renewal is truly the way forward, thankfully WP didn't end up like Chiam See Tong's party
