Ironically another example of the “thought-stopping soundbite”.
Also, as someone who actually lives in Singapore, I can tell you for certain that SlowRobotAhead is spouting complete nonsense.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoOh i have no doubt if you live there you forget about each MRT station surrounded by 25 cameras, the 5 police men patrol groups with two carrying full auto MP5s, that it’s in some way OK to require an $80,000 permit just to buy a car, the police that wear body armour in the most seriously controlled country in the world, the complete and utter dependence on the state. I totally get how those things blend in and seem normal at a point, that’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. Don’t get me wrong I was fascinated by SG, but it’s not real. Not real in the same way say NYC or Tokyo are real. It’s beautiful, but it’s the air conditioned city top to bottom inside and out. I’ve spent enough time there and around the world to know what I was looking at. Beautiful though.
- Gigablah 8y agoI don’t see anything in your comment that pertains to “... what you bought, how often you went to the bathroom or who you went with”, so yeah, still spouting nonsense. The police here don’t wear body armor, by the way. Where did you hallucinate that from? $80k permits — have you seen the goddamn traffic in Novena on a weekend? Oh, never mind, you’ve “spent enough time” here. Obviously. Air conditioned city — is that supposed to be a jab? It’s as if you’ve forgotten that we’re right at the equator. Look up a map sometime.
