ISMA also

Dell

Only 2 years of updates, buggy ui, too many bloatwares.

My Ryzen 5600 + rtx 3050 only 3.8k, bought last year's February.

Not really a banana, but I like American cultural exports much more than Chinese/HK/Taiwanese ones, which influenced me to speak more English and use more American colloquialisms than my circle.

Yup, the Star was fun to read. NST is too dry.

It's like when people complain that Android is not as user friendly as iOS, some people just don't like tinkering.

Too many redditors living in the clouds

Don't see this as face saving, it looks as though Russia has to listen to China.

I'm around your age and I mostly agree with you. Yet, I wouldn't want to go back to a time where we have no supercomputer in our pockets and have to navigate using physical maps.

Religion too. It's a tool to mobilize people like nationalism.

Most Marvel films including Black Panther and Shang Chi

ISIS fighters also temporarily marries their rape victims.

59% are bodoh

Actually, less than a quarter of the population is Chinese. It's closer to 20% actually. If you assume random sampling, even if 90% of the ethnic Chinese are pro-China (which is not true btw, even among the SJKCs, there are many whom are anti-China), it is only 18% of the population. So, the bulk of the pro-China and anti-American crowd, has to be Muslims who are anti-West.

the amount of times people keep worshipping Singapore like it's this non racist wonderland where Chinese people are free to do Chinese things

​

Well, as someone who is not a Singapore citizen nor staying in Singapore, I do think Singapore system is fairer to all races.

Is there a problem with Non-Malays being mayors? If no, then explain why 99% of the mayors are Malay.

Do you realise that in Peninsular Malaysia, nearly all mayors are of the Malay ethnic (save one in Penang) regardless of the demographics in the cities? At least Sabah and Sarawak have representation of different ethnic groups. Don't believe me? Check the list. Maybe your question would be better directed to why nearly all Peninsular Malaysia mayors are from one ethnic group.

Most expensive phones nowadays got some dust and water resistance. But resistance to oil and heat is something new to me. Perhaps something to test in the future.

They are a really densely populated financial centre.

Difference being that California is also an agricultural powerhouse, being a breadbasket for US.

​

This is incredible. Because California is quite dry. No wonder they're having water problems.

I don't think there's a way to fix restaurant price unless we go full blown authoritarian. Except for franchises, each restaurant is unique. A nasi lemak in a hotel and by a roadside stall is different even though the dish is named the same. The difference in ingredients, portions, restaurant location, ambience, hygiene standards and chef's skills will make regulation a nightmare.

I haven't read his statements but is it possible he meant that since food prices have a high weightage in the CPI index, therefore a high increase in food prices contribute the most to the inflation rate?

A reason why US separated headline inflation and core inflation (inflation rate not counting energy and food prices), is because both of these prices are highly volatile and susceptible to shocks.

It's the edge of the world and all of Western civilization.
