    even tho it's a pyramid scheme it's not a scam in the traditional sense. they do offer you classes and stuff, tho they're shit from what i've heard.

    but the star of the show is actually their affiliate program and people use it as a side hustle to make money.

    read the news of a clinic assistant working in SG getting charged under s 233 of Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

    (1) A person who — (a) by means of any network facilities or network service or applications service knowingly — (i) makes, creates or solicits; and (ii) initiates the transmission of, any comment, request, suggestion or other communication which is obscene, indecent, false, menacing or offensive in character with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person; or

    (b) initiates a communication using any applications service, whether continuously, repeatedly or otherwise, during which communication may or may not ensue, with or without disclosing his identity and with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass any person at any number or electronic address, commits an offence.

    be really careful with what you write online about other people and understand the legal risk of abusing or bullying another individual. there's no such thing as absolute freedom of speech on the internet whether you like it or not. On top of this law there's also Criminal Defamation under the Penal Code.

    there is nothing wrong with the solidarity week but i know for a fact it's politicised. Didn't see any initiatives about the Yemenis, Ukrainians, Uyghurs and Afghanis also.

    A330 is a much, much older aircraft from early 90s. A350 is about 20 years newer.

    It's more comfortable, more spacious, less NVH, newer tech, more economical and environmentally friendly.

    it's like comparing an old car with a new car.

    Very overwhelming bitter taste and bunch of different flavors. Synapses in my brain firing like fireworks. Maybe bit too bitter for me but I kind of got used to it.

    probably a darker roast than you're used to. I'm not a big fan of dark roast myself.

    I don't think it matters what's the reason behind Tiktok's decision to remove content on their own platform. they should be able to do whatever they want within the confines of the law.

    “If they want to play around with us, we will take a very, very firm stand.

    “We don’t want our right to freedom of expression, especially in issues relating to Palestine, to be restricted by irresponsible parties for certain reasons,” he said.

    I just wanna see if TikTok allow Pro-israel stuff what would happen. Is it still going to be a question about Freedom of Expression lol.

    i think it's kinda cruel to let them come then ask them to go back. either make it permanent or don't let them come at all. very much prefer they prioritise say, a few thousand of them (with appropriate assistance) than idk unlimited supply of them till ppl get fed up and then be racist as shit.

    “We did a post-mortem and we found weaknesses and strengths...among the weaknesses were our failure to get voters who are not Muslims and insufficient number of seats,” he said. “Thus for this year's muktamar PAS will continue with its trajectory and approach by giving its assurance to all Malaysians, both Muslims and non-Muslims that at both the national and states governed by PAS and PN our lawmakers will make it compulsory to fulfil our electoral win by implementing three important concepts — fair, empathy and welfare,”

    You know sugar is expensive when Malay joints actually honour your kurang manis request

    1. I always order my drinks "kurang gula" (been told it's less sugary than kurang manis), and even then it's still sweet as hell. these days I could go with kurang manis and it would actually come out with barely any sugar... 2. My theory is that sugar price has gone up, and shops are reluctant to use sugar. 3. I have also noticed that drinks tend to be less concentrated and they taste a bit more bland. Case in point, my air bandung, teh ais, and teh c peng that i had from different places from the past few days all tasted really weak. 4. Maybe it's just me but food from many places do not taste as "bomb" and there's a lot less MSG and salt. I really like it tho. Thoughts? have you guys noticed anything different as of late now that some ingredients have gone up in price due to reduction of subsidies?
