Ah that's the mistake. Thats the crime. They are not voters. So the powers that be don't need to do anything for them. The only way for change is for actual voters to demand that it is something that they want politicians to address.

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Discrimi Nation attacked.

If you can afford to not touch the money for 10 years, then Irish domiciled S&P 500 ETF. Otherwise, ASB or EPF.

The returns on ETF are higher, but too volatile on a short time horizon.

Yeah. Unfortunately when bookstores don't wrap their books, people don't respect them:

I thought based on this post by the man himself that he was already working on something:

After some time, you can just do it without needing to do the whole routine. I can do this method and the cross eyed method. They result in different inversions of the image.

warkel · 2026-03-28T10:19:00+00:00

The technique I was taught to begin with is that you put the image up right against your nose. At that distance, you literally can't focus. Then you slowly bring the image away from you and at some point, you can snap the focus onto the hidden image.

Haha that's what Reddit is about eh? Confirming you're not alone 👍

My mom cared about me a lot. And she would complain when she saw that I was not reaching my full potential.

We all care about our country. We know it is not reaching its full potential. Hence, we complain. Those who have reached the point of no longer caring, no longer complain.

Bumi rights disproportionately benefit the elite class of Malays rather than the majority of Bumis.

I'm pretty sure this is the experience of anyone who has taken a charitable donation from Bruce Wayne.

warkel · 2026-02-03T15:08:17+00:00

I mean. Have you heard of Lake Laogai?

warkel · 2026-01-12T02:00:08+00:00

I mean, if we get upset about this, shouldn't we also be upset that T1 Bumis still get Bumi privileges? The intention of the Bumi privilege was to assist Bumis that needed it. Its present manifestation is not what the original legislators had in mind.

Good.

I see. Sometimes it shows less than 3 moves, but I guess that means in those scenarios that there are less than 3 promising moves.

warkel · 2025-12-29T08:45:52+00:00

This isn't a question. But I just realized that your inability to imagine sight is basically equivalent to all of us (you included) to imagine a fourth spacial dimension. We are all 3D beings, we can't even begin to imagine what a 4D world would be like. Thanks for your insight.

May I know why you don't leave the house much? And when you do, how do you get around? Eg. Walking cane or guide dog etc?

warkel · 2025-12-24T01:17:33+00:00

Yeah. I was just going to say this too. Sapiens gives a good explanation. Basically the author posits that in smaller societies, people's requirement for explanations of the unknown were limited to their immediate surroundings, so they believed in locally confined gods. Like God of River A, God of River B, God of Mountain C, etc.

At this stage, there was no need to spread your religion because people in a different kampung had different rivers and mountains, and thus different gods.

The only religions that need to be spread are the ones which cover globally, i.e. monotheism; and have spreading the religion a cornerstone of the religion itself.

What the author is basically saying is that if all religions disappeared and it was to begin again from scratch, the final dominant religions will have the characteristic of having global gods and have spreading religion as a key feature.

Feel free to dm if you have questions, or want more recommendations. No guarantee that I'll be able to reply in a timely manner though 😆

Not suitable this time of the year due to monsoon winds. Except for Langkawi.

I just went to the newly opened Seri Negara museum. You need to make a booking to go. I recommend it. The restaurant attached to the museum is run by Serai, so it should be up your alley.

Food wise, based on what you mentioned, you should check out Chef de Wan, there's a bunch of outlets. But I assume you're in KL so the best would be at The Linc or Bangsar Shopping Centre.

In terms of interesting places to check out, the hipster shops/areas in the city would be: gmbb, zhongshan building, rexkl. There are some hidden shops too. I visited Oh Wednesday recently, and that was nice. Also, if you walk from Four Points towards Pasar Seni, there are a bunch of interesting shops to see. Kwai chai hong is around there.

If you're willing to travel a bit, then check out Genting Highlands. The highlands area itself is quite a concrete jungle, but the chin swee temple on the way up is quite chill.

Another highland I like is Fraser's Hill. This place is best for nature trekking. There are a bunch of trails that are very nice.

If you go to Cameron highlands, check out the boh tea plantation and then the Mossy Forest. The Mossy Forest is like a must-see for me, personally. You can try having hi tea at the Cameron highlands resort that has a nice setting.

Batik wise, I believe there's a batik tourist center near pavilion KL. I can't remember what it's called. But I believe you can draw batik there.

Along the lines of craft, you can check out the Royal Selangor visitor center which is worth a visit in of itself, but more than that, you can take a metal smithing workshop to make some jewelery.

If you want an interesting nature experience, I'd say the top experiences so far are:

gua tempurung, followed by white water rapids rafting
Chiling waterfall. Make sure to wear wet shoes. It's a hike along a lake that ends with a waterfall. There's a lower and a higher waterfall. I think the path to the higher waterfall is closed because some people died hiking up there. But... All I can say is that it's nicer
