There are dozens of us.

In all seriousness, I do occasionally visit select subreddits even though I no longer have an account. I’d like to think leaving reddit has changed my internet browsing habits in a good way.

Technically, I guess.

Unfortunately, we still seem to be very far away from it replacing our usual way of growing meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34

This video was exactly what first came to mind when I read “badly understandable dialogues”! It bothers me that as we got better mics, the actors became more unintelligible instead of the other way as one would predict.

We’re in agreement, then. It’s a shame that the woman was straight up executed for such a tiny amount over the limit. I bet most of us couldn’t even feel that 15 grams of difference if placed on our palms. But that’s how it is in SG despite us outsiders wishing for a less than lethal judgement, and they do try to warn people of the consequences of possession at every step of the way to that country. So the onus is, to an extent, on the visitors as well to protect themselves.

I watched a few vids in the past where random Singaporeans were asked what they thought of the capital punishment and while most agreed it was severe, they also said it made sense considering their country was hamstrung by widespread opium addiction in the past. Unfortunate, but if the Singaporeans themselves don’t push for the change, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

And in no way am I denying it. I thought it was imperative to mention the type of drug alongside the dose since heroin has a lower minimum amount you can be caught with and still walk away. She wouldn’t have been executed for 31 grams of weed.

I merely added info from the article that was missing on the OP’s comment, I don’t necessarily agree with SG’s laws.

I’m not saying it is. I simply meant that heroin being a far more potent drug, the minimum amount that qualifies you for SG’s draconian punishment is lower. That minimum amount being roughly half of what this woman was caught with, ie, at 16gms IIRC.

I believe you’re taking your anger out on the wrong person here. I didn’t make those laws, I wouldn’t have. But it is what it is, and from what I’ve seen on the internet, most Singaporeans seem to be either apathetic to it or in support of it given their history with opium.

31 grams of pure heroin. I think it’s worth mentioning.

While Singapore has doled severe punishments for possession of paltry amounts of cannabis in the past, the drug in this particular case is incomparable to weed.

Unfortunately, I don’t think employers seeing their employees as mere resources is exclusive to Japan. Though they definitely like to dial it up to 11 there.
