MOH – NOT UNEXPECTED THAT MORE PEOPLE DIED IN 2021, DUE TO PANDEMIC

0

The Ministry of Health said in a press release detailing the number of deaths in Singapore for the year 2021.

Here is what they said

The age-standardised death rate1 five years ago, in 2017, was 560 per 100,000 persons. This has been decreasing steadily to 518 per 100,000 in 2020, even though 2020 was a COVID-19 year.

However, in 2021, the age-standardised death rate rose to 557 per 100,000 persons, comparable to that in 2017 (refer to the Annex).

2.             The increase is not unexpected, given that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a health crisis which has killed many millions of people in the world.

Singapore, however, has recorded one of the lowest rates of excess deathsin the COVID-19 pandemic from international comparisons so far.

3.             The total excess deaths due to COVID-19 will require further analysis and breakdown of the numbers. We are still undergoing the Omicron wave.

When this wave subsides, the Ministry of Health plans to consolidate the data, and provide a fuller report and analysis on excess deaths due to COVID-19.

GUY SAYS HIS HATRED FOR HUMANITY IS GETTING WORSE – HATES EVERYONE

0

A netizen shared how his “hatred for humanity” is getting worse and he hates almost everyone he interacts with.

He also shared about how he finds most people that he meets as insufferable and “bland”.

Here is the story:

My hatred for humanity is worsening

I have always been somewhat hateful of the human species, but these past couple of years it has only exacerbated.

The pandemic coupled with my inborn hatred for humans has led me to detest almost everyone I interact with.

Sure, there are good people out there who I enjoy being around. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people I meet on a daily basis are just insufferable.

They’re for the most part superficial, stupid, repetitive, and downright bland. An interesting person is maybe 5/100 if I’m being generous.

I don’t want to get into the details as to why I hate humanity because that could take awhile, but basically the hatred I already have towards humanity is growing.

Editor’s note: This sounds like a supervillain origin story.

MOM CALLS DAUGHTER IN LAW A “DIRTY BEGGAR” FOR DIRTY HOME

0

I’ll cut straight to the point.

My mom visited us yesterday morning at 10am while I was at work. She must’ve found the house a mess because once she left, she called me to rant about how filthy and cluttered the house was. she went on a long rant about my wife having an attitude and almost kicking her out for pointing out that the house looked filthy and smelled.

I just nodded and uh-um’d through the entire call then went home thinking this was no big deal. But once I walked in, my wife started arguing with me about my mom berating her for the state of the house and calling it names like filthy and calling my wife names like dirty beggar.

She asked for my thoughts on this “verbal abuse” that mom keeps subjecting her to and I told her to just ignore her cause she’s like this with my brother’s wife too. She got upset and said that no, she doesn’t have to ignore her and mom has one chance to apologize or she’s no longer welcome here.

I said that was an exaggeration because, for one, she knows how much of a clean freak mom is and two, and let’s be honest here, She should’ve tidied up the house if she didn’t want any negative comments from mom or any other guest for that matter.

She said she really had no time to clean when she’s taking care of the kids and the dishes and whatnot and insisted that mom should’ve had basic human decency and called beforehand. I said fine but no longer allowing mom to visit at least for the kids sake was, in my opinion, over the top.

She said if I was okay with the kids hearing my mom’s despicable words then she’s not. She then argued about how I shouldn’t blame her for not tidying up the house when there’s so much on her plate already. I said I get it but she was really making a big out of it. now I could talk to mom about visiting times but I think that my wife is to blame too here. My wife was mortified and is saying she’ll go through to no longer allow my mom into the house if this keeps happening and the fight just got worse.

I feel like I got stuck in between both sides of the argument and was being blamed for both of their behaviors.

GIRL’S EX-BF KEEPS TELLING EVERYONE SHE CHEATED ON HIM 10 YEARS AGO

Ex-Boyfriend Won’t Stop Telling Every Guy I Cheated Even Though It was 10 Years Ago
When I was 19, I had an unexpected pregnancy. My ex didn’t want to keep the baby, but I did and we stayed together anyway. She was born with a birth defect and died at two days old.

Because I knew my ex never wanted her, I definitely blamed him (which was wrong). I was upset he didn’t care like I did. I ended up cheating with a guy at a support group whose young child also died. I take full responsibility. We broke up, and I took a big break from relationships and pursued personal therapy.

My ex is married now, yet every relationship I’ve been in since (three, including my fiance), he’s messaged the guy warning him that I’m a cheater and the second time even messaged the guy’s parents. Both the relationships ended shortly after, and now he’s contacted my fiance, who I actually told ahead of time and understands.

I found out the reason why he’s been able to find out about all my relationships is because he follows a ton of my family members on Facebook (I don’t have it). Do I tell everyone to block him? I tried to talk to him about it and he says if I don’t tell them I’m lying by omission…but it was ten years ago. He says that it says something about my character that can’t be fixed with time. I went to therapy! It was horrible, horrible circumstances and I honestly don’t think I’m a bad person.

I don’t know if it would be wrong to take this to his wife. I’m afraid he’s going to tell my fiance’s parents or my future kids. I just want him to stop. What would you do?

I was 19 at the time, my ex was thirty, and we’re 29 and 40 now.

MAN SWITCHED HIS WIFE’S CAT WITH A LOOKALIKE THAT IS MORE BEHAVED

0

Six years ago, i swapped my then-girlfriend now-wife’s cat with a more well-behaved lookalike.

She had an all black cat that was extremely aggressive. It scratched everyone, hissed at everyone, and didn’t use its litterbox half the time. My wife insisted she could get it to behave better. One week she went overseas to visit her family and I was supposed to go to her apartment and feed it.

The first night I went over, it scratched my arm. I joked to the cat that it’s not special and I’ll replace it if it scratches again.

The joke stuck with me until I had thought about it enough that it wasn’t a joke.

The next morning I went to an animal shelter. Found an identical cat who was already litterbox trained and acclimated to people, but was a little skittish (it’s old owner died of a heart attack and the animal shelter people said they think that’s why it was skittish).

But overall, it was a lot friendlier and better behaved, and the skittishness would help it resemble the original cat.

So I adopted it, took it to my wife’s apartment, settled it in, then drove her original cat to another animal shelter.

It’s been 6 years since then. We got married 4 years ago. We still have the swapped cat. It answers to the original cat’s name. My wife knows nothing.

She loves this cat and brags about how much better behaved it is. Everytime I see it, I feel so bad.

GUY DOESN’T WANT CHILDREN AT HIS “ADULTS ONLY” BIRTHDAY PARTY

0

So during my 30th birthday, I was planning my birthday party for a while.

I was inviting my family and friends and had a table booked at a restaurant with Asian cuisine. When discussing the birthday reservation I have mentioned i would like to keep it adults only.

Simply so we don’t have to watch our language and my friends and family kids are all younger than 8, so spicy/Asian food will not be suitable and they will get bored. The place also doesn’t have kids menu.

This all went well and since the booking was for the noon on a weekend my friends didn’t have a problem to leave the kids with their partners.

However my sister demanded to know why I don’t want her kids at my birthday and refused to accept that it’s my birthday and the food is not suitable for kids.

I got annoyed and told her I would of considered to have her kids(5 and 8) around if she actually educated them instead of being on her phone, since her youngest doesn’t have any manners and throws tantrums whenever the kid doesn’t like/get something.

By tantrums I mean screaming and crying for hours and up to throwing food or running at other guests or members of staff in public, while she keeps being on her phone.

My sister and part of my family scolded me and she said she won’t come to my birthday or talk to me until I realise what I said was wrong.

My friends believe she is overeacting and are on my side, since a lot of them have younger kids and they behave a lot better.
