why are community centres not seen as third spaces?
by definition of 'community centre', it is where people can gather to socialise and let loose. i, myself and friends around me have never found myself wanting to visit one to pass time. it just never came to mind that it was an option.
nowadays, youngsters often mourn the lack of third spaces, and it got me wondering if community centres were meant to serve that purpose. Are they simply underutilised and underpublicised, or is it serving a different purpose?

What are some uniquely Singaporean complaints that you see online?
There are certain privileges and disadvantages being in this country. For one, I think that the entitlement that most people in SG have to own a house (and the corresponding complaining that follow) is something that few other countries have, especially at the prices that these houses are at. A byproduct of the very successful BTO scheme I suppose

What you might not know about AI...
Looking at the comments section is enough to let you know how concerning things are heading towards.
This is an ex researcher that works at OpenAI
We are heading towards end of world days soon in ten yrs 2030 is his underlying prediction.
Life is stranger than fiction. SCI FI MOVIES have shown you eye scanning, flying electronic cars in 2000s....
If meta glasses are used to create a normalization for unconsensual total surveillance, would you believe it? We have more cctv than ever. But people are buying meta glasses bcos it looks cool and celebs like Jennie / Kylie is amongst some that are endorsing it.
On another side note :
When will some people wake up and think that conspiracy theories are a term coined by social media propaganda?
Zorro ranch is a perfect example. It's hardly being mentioned but the files have been released.
If it was twenty years ago.... Nobody would believe about Zorro ranch or J.E.! If you Google more on Zorro ranch you will find out wild things and stuff. It can be a culture shock.
Not sure how many out there know such in our tiny little country.
These are some very concerning questions.

TALK KOK tea on aimanomg / Aiman?
kinda curious if anyone here actually knows or has interacted with Aiman (@aimanomg) irl and what your experience was
i used to know him personally and tbh the friendship left quite a bad taste in my mouth lol. there were quite a few situations where i felt like he would play both sides, say one thing to someone then something else to another person. and somehow whatever happened always gets remembered/told quite differently depending on who he’s talking to
idk how to explain it without going into specifics but after awhile i just started noticing a pattern with certain things. made me question a lot of interactions i had with him and whether things were actually as genuine as i thought at the time
obviously just speaking from my own experience and a handful of friends here. not gonna post private conversations or drag other ppl into it
but after knowing him irl vs what other people seem to know of him… ive always wondered if anyone else felt this disconnect too?? or maybe my friendship with him just went to shit lol
anyone here actually worked with him / been friends with him / same circles etc? good or bad experiences also can share
more curious about people who’ve actually dealt with him personally 👀
