    “Scandals like this used to bring Governments to their knees.”

    I’m sorry, where do you believe Republicans have been for the past decade, if not their knees?

    Not people actually fucking simping for the right wing authoritarian dictatorship of Singapore smh.

    Say goodbye to chewing gum and watching porn and owning a car or a house.

  3. After a round of negotiations with the regime, an agreement was reached to free the hundreds of workers who were held under inhumane conditions after a surprise military raid on the foreign-owned facility where they worked.

    Which country had this headline? Malarkey level

    1. North Korea
    2. Russia
    3. Iran
    4. China
    5. Venezuela
    6. I dunno Eritrea or something
    7. The United States of America

    Secret malarkey level: What is this juvenile alt-history scenario? Obviously no country would dare to violate the UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights so blatantly in the modern age.

  4. Random request: does anyone have that meme with some anime girl standing in front of a computer that’s glowing, with Chinese text and English underneath it saying something to the effect of “CIA agent glows so bright”?

    The university that I went to for my PhD has a grad student dorm that’s so infamous for being terrible that if I tell someone where I went to school, ~50% of the time their immediate reaction is “oh that’s the school with the bad grad student dorms, I have a friend who went there and he told me all sorts of horrible things”.

    It’s so bad that the stories have reached a critical mass of tech workers who know nothing else about the school. I wonder if just writing this is enough for anyone to guess what school it is…

  6. Since NL are okay with authoritarianism, how do we feel about reinstating Charles II as King of the United States?

    God Save the King.

    Of all the things people rightly criticize Singapore for, I feel like not many people mention how being gay was illegal up to 2023. Although they were also the first country in Asia to legalize gender affirming surgery in the 70s so it doesn’t quite map the same to western countries.
