@mrjeffu I'll just shave my legs

Japanese women react to news that Tokyo Metropolitan Government offices will allow male employees to wear shorts in summer: •“Middle-aged men, please don’t wear shorts. It’s gross.” •“Middle-aged men in shorts make people uncomfortable.” •“It’s unpleasant.” •“I don’t particularly want to see some middle-aged man’s leg hair.” •“My eyes would go there instead of to the work.” •“It might startle me. I’d probably look twice.” •“This isn’t their house, so I’d wonder what they came here to do.” According to a social psychologist: “Originally, the workplace is understood as a place where people work regardless of gender. But exposing skin - especially showing legs that are not normally exposed, or showing body hair - can cause the other person to be ‘sexualized.’ People may not consciously feel that they are being subjected to a sexual display, and they may not think the person has that intention, but instinctively and intuitively they sense it. That becomes a kind of ‘discomfort’ they themselves cannot explain.”

First Starship V3 launch later this week!

A giant anteater can cripple a jaguar with one swipe, yet it plays like a kitten

@perryonxdotcom @fishPointer Yet

is it really possible for an emo girl and a country boy to construct a dyson sphere?

@yuzhinok No way, how heavy was that big boi? He got to be 10-11kg to be that expensive

Yesterday I saw one of the biggest whole salmon I've seen my entire life at Sheng Siong... ...and left in a poor man's disappointment the moment the fishmonger told me it was approximately $200+

@arcticawe @XavLiew @romanhelmetguy How? They will still be using the tables. Not doing so would feel like heading to a restaurant without knowing its opening hours

@XavLiew @romanhelmetguy Spin it any way you want but it results in underutilization of the available tables. It’s an ineffective strategy.

Another example of the difference between low crime and high trust: Singaporeans do a thing they call “chope-ing”: They snag a table by placing their iPhone or purse on it, then go wait in line. This is low crime, low trust behavior. It’s something anti-social you have to do because if you don’t chope a table, someone else who walked in after you will take it. In a high trust society, you just wait in line and everyone sits down on a first-come first-seated basis, no one cuts ahead and takes a table before they need it. Singaporeans chope because it’s a way to take advantage of their low crime society to engage in low trust behavior.

@yuzhinok U can try the Libby app, i read his memoir there, lots of other great books as well, super convenient

I felt like I glazed this man too much that I went to the library to read and borrow some works about and from him. Could not find his memoir though, I might just be blind.

@josie2451300 @Miothegoat2 @Wanan666666 Holy shit, this is hilarious as fuck

@garrytan Holyshit, i love that comic series

Hanging out with my cousin Johnny Lau who is one of Singapore’s most famous and accomplished comic book artists

@kirbyongeo Hyperliquid

The comments feature finally arrived in Asia. Let’s try this out Hyperliquid

Using Apple Vision Pro to draw and interact in 3D feels like cheating reality.

@graciehartie Which one did u apply for?

holy. im addicted to skills future courses. been attending manufacturing lessons/classes for fun. Was sent to a Precision CNC factory to play with the machines.. apparently it is the manufacturer for Nokia during their hey days.. these days, they cut drone parts/plane parts for clients. i encourage everyone to sign up for random classes just for fun.. it's fun to expose yourself to random knowledge.

@yuzhinok Sg 7-11 is slowly upping their standards, but still way behind bkk, the microwaved food like fried rice and basil pork rice in bkk's 7-11 is also pretty good with their soft boiled eggs

7-11 haul in Thailand is a reminder that Singapore's 7-11s are absolute rubbish As of posting, I have been shot 16 times with waterguns.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
