Does the "sarong party girls" stereotype still exist in Singapore in 2021?

Heard about this stereotype a lot... Also what are the awareness among local Singaporeans regarding white expats that prey on Asian women (in light with MeToo movement and the western discourse on white supremacy Ideology)?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Spiral - Chapter 07 - Moving Forward

[First] | [Previous] | [Next]

═════

Ethan smiled to himself as he made his way into the locker-room. It was the third morning after having departed Atlantis. That first, like the day that they’d been in orbit of it, Vaar had worn full-body sweats, and there had been no betting. Yesterday, the betting pool had been shallow, but she’d gone with a pair of relatively loose knee-length shorts and a lightweight cotton top. Today, he had expectations for everybody’s favorite majordomo, and for the reactions of the Corsair to her antics! The etanis weren’t exactly known for their endurance, but today was going to be treadmills for Vaar in an attempt to work on that. He knew that she was the fastest on the ship in short spurts, able to outdo even Amelia by half for the first 200 meters or so, but she’d be on her knees and panting by 225, and long enough for Amelia to clear 400 before she got back up. Even Ethan could beat her over a kilometer.

The thing was that, try as they might, those elastane tops she tended to wear in the gym weren’t exactly up to the task of keeping everything still, and running was an activity notorious for generating jiggle. Not that Ethan minded the spectator sport that was her teasing of Aaren, but damn that girl did a lot of collateral damage. She might only care about one pair of eyes, but that didn’t negate the other nine that were present most mornings. Yuri was more Ethan’s type, but his appreciation for the show wasn’t purely academic like Ides’s was!

When he arrived at the locker room, Amelia and Rachael were already present and changed – both wearing outfits similar to the one that Vaar had gone with the day before. He could hear rustling from within two of the changing booths, and Akari’s voice piped up from one of them, β€œAaren’s doing hand weights today, right? That’ll put β€˜em facing the line of treadmills. Put me down for… make it seventy-five on a fumble in the second half of kilosecond one.”

β€œI’ll see that!” Ethan piped up. β€œMatch Akari’s bet, first half of kilosecond one.”

β€œDone and done,” said Amelia with a grin. Of course, given that she took a tenth of the pot whatever the outcome, she wasn’t going to complain about it growing!

Rachael just shook her head and smirked. β€œYou do all know that they’re both aware of these betting pools, right? I’d call it cr

Zipolite is a magical place!

Just got back from Zipolite on Saturday after 14 days of sun and hot weather - a great escape from the cold and snow of Ontario.

Some of you have asked for a trip report so here it is.

Zipolite is NOT a nudist resort. Zipolite is a small, authentic, hippie, Mexican beach town that embraces diversity... including nudism.

Zipolite, has Mexico's only official clothing optional beach - about 1.5 km (1 mile) long of soft sand and warm water. Great surfing too.

We had sunny 32-33c weather for 14 days straight and the forecast for the next 10 days when we left was the same. Temps dipped to a comfortable 24c at night - great for sleeping.

You can be nude 100% of the time.. if you want. We stayed at Hotel Nude. You can be nude everywhere except they ask that you cover up if you are sitting for a meal. I am not sure why because you need to walk through the restaurant to get to the beach and bar - I chose to be naked and not eat there much.

We tended to eat at the bars and restaurants along the beach for breakfast and lunch (occasionally dinner). Most required a cover up. I would put on a VERY short sarong when I stepped off the beach and into the restaurant area. You could be naked if you wanted to be served while in a beach chair.

Most evenings we would eat at one of the many restaurants on the main street. We didn't have a bad meal anywhere. I would call out "Nice Place on the Beach" for its friendly staff and great location and Pizzeria Italiana La Fenice for awesome pizza.

Virtually all hotels and restaurants are open air so they were great in the warm weather but can be noisy in the evenings as there are no windows to insulate the sound.

Only about 25% of people were nude on the beach with a broad range of ages and body shapes. Everyone is very open minded. I always felt comfortable - except once. On the 2nd last day a group of school kids showed up for a surfing contest and they parked themselves in front of my beach lounge. They all had swim suits on of course and I am M65 and naked. I know they see it all of the time but I felt uneasy splayed open with 12-13yr girls close by. More my hang up than theirs I am sure.

We are relatively new nudists so we were traveling alone. It would have been an even better experience with some friends. We met a nice woman (Lori) from Winnipeg on the day before we flew back but otherwise most other guests were Spanish speaking or were American or Canadians living and working there (I wish).

A few more tips..

a really good passage from the book β€œali’s pretty little lies” that really shows how nasty alison is

Aria glanced over her shoulder, giving Ali a worried look, and Ali felt a fire burn inside of her. She grabbed Aria’s arm. β€œDo you want to talk about anything?” she whispered in a fake concerned tone.

Aria paled and stared straight ahead. β€œNo. I’m fine.”

Ali clucked her tongue. β€œIt’s not good to hold things in, Ariaβ€”I’ve seen it on Dr. Phil all the time. You need to vent about this. Get it out. Otherwise you’ll be, like, sexually repressed or something when you get older.”

Aria squirmed. β€œReally?”

Ali laid her hand on her shoulder. β€œYep. So, tell Dr. Ali what you’re going to do.”

Aria kicked at a clump of cut grass that the mowing service had forgotten to bag. β€œI can’t do anything about it,” she whispered.

β€œDo you think they’re, like, dating?” Ali’s voice rose with a mix of horror and excitement. β€œShe was so young!”

Aria shoved her hands in her pockets and just shrugged. But her eyes were wet, as though she was about to cry. Ali turned away. At least she wasn’t crying right now. At least her mom was having an affair with someone her own age.

Trending

Hanna looked over her shoulder and frowned at Aria’s injured expression. β€œWhat are you guys talking about back there?” She lagged behind so that Ali and Aria could catch up. β€œIs everything okay?”

β€œOf course,” Aria said quickly.

β€œEverything’s great,” Ali answered. β€œRight, Aria?”

Aria flinched. She shot Ali a desperate, please-don’t-say-anything look back. Hanna shifted, looking conflicted. Emily and Spencer stopped, too, peering curiously at them from next to the raspberry bushes.

β€œAnd everything is great with you, right, Hanna?” Ali asked. β€œWell, except for Sean.”

Hanna twisted her mouth. The others looked at her curiously. β€œHanna caught her new BFF, Josie, making out with Sean at my party the other night,” Ali explained.

The girls gasped. β€œOh, Hanna, that’s awful!” Emily cried, placing a hand on Hanna’s shoulder.

β€œWhy didn’t you say anything?” Aria asked.

Hanna shrugged. β€œIt seemed stupid to talk about it. Sean’s not for me, anyway. I’m over it.”

Ali heard herself snicker. β€œThat’s for sure, Han. You definitely have your own way of getting things out of your system.”

Hanna’s head snapped up. The look on her face was one of both horror and betrayal. What are you doing? her expression said. Ali didn’t meet her gaze. She’d meant it when she’d promised Hanna she wouldn’t tell about the bingeing. But that was then. Dancing around it now felt almost fun. Her heartbreak was way worse than Hanna’s.

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Young woman is part of a group walking a long distance; later tracks down and marries the guide (colonial setting, maybe in Southeast Asia) - read in a Reader's Digest anthology

I read this book sometime around 2008-2011, but it's much older. I think it was part of a Reader's Digest anthology of books (I remember reading Pearl S Buck's "The New Year" at the same time, which was in the 1968 Volume 73 according to Wikipedia).

What I remember of the plot is a young woman (pretty sure she was English, maybe early twenties) who is contracted to be a nanny for a woman with small children and a baby whose husband was on a trip. Due to some sort of war, maybe an invasion during WW2, the family along with many others (all European, I think) is forced to walk to safety over a long journey, perhaps several weeks or even months. The mother gets sick and dies during this journey and the protagonist takes on a maternal role for the children while she bonds with the man who is guiding them through their walk. After they reach safety, the heroine reunites the children with their father, who proposes to her for the sake of the children but she turns him down. Sometime later she goes to track down the guide, and finds him in Australia (I think) and they get together. I think they start a farm or ranch or something in the outback.

I'm pretty sure the walking journey was set in Southeast Asia, maybe Malaysia or Indonesia, although I may be confusing it with other Asian countries with a history of European colonization. The time setting felt late-colonial, probably early to mid 1900s. A couple of random details I remember: the protagonist carried her late employer's baby in a sling on the walk and I think the other kids were one boy and one girl; after their reunion the main character and her love interest go on a vacation with either a beach or a pool and she wears a sarong (part of why I think they were in SEAsia); the guide MAY have been living somewhere near Adelaide, Australia when she found him. It was written in third person, mostly from the main character's perspective rather than an omniscient narrator.

I can't seem to find this book even with a lot of Googling and after realizing that Reader's Digest published four volumes of five books each every year and I don't even remember which year the anthology was from, I couldn't trawl through all of them. Any clues would be appreciated!
