I'm hoping for PH to lose for a purge to happen

Taufiq91 — Thu, 10 Aug 2017 08:49:20 +0800

Seriously, Pakatan's old blood are corrupting the party. People like Rafizi are liars, Wan Azizah and Anwar are desperate fools who would say yes to eating shit if it will make them win GE14, and they are willing to backstab each other like a cult (see: Kajang Move) just to appease Dear Leader Anwar.

Plus, they brought in Mahathir and Muhyddin to Pakatan in a desperate move. THey've literally become BN Lite.

Seriously, these people need to get kicked out and have fresh faces run the party instead. Let Wong Chen, Sivarasa and Hannah Yeoh take over Pakatan. They need to be taught a lesson.

Kick out the old guards and let the fresh faces take over, please.

Why is expendables trying to convince us....

Taufiq91 — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 10:57:49 +0800

Seriously, it's like every hour some keyboard warrior named "expendables" keep taking vague, unbiased articles and then trying to spin it as if Pakatan will win 90% of GE14.

Does he seriously think that Pakatan will sweep all of Malaysia even after 8 years of failed takeover promises, Kajang Moves and bringing in Mahafiraun and Muhyddin to Pakatan?

Is City Pop the best J-Pop?

QUOTE

In the early 1980s, with the spread of car stereos, the term City Pop (シティーポップ Shitī Poppu) came to describe a type of popular music that had a big city theme.[73] Tokyo in particular inspired many songs of this form. During this time, music fans and artists in Japan were influenced by album-oriented rock (especially Adult contemporary) and crossover (especially Jazz fusion).[73][74] Although City Pop was affected by New Music, the rock band Happy End was considered one of its originators.[75]

Akira Terao and Anri became famous during this period. Akira Terao's 1981 album Reflections was the best-selling album of the 1980s in Japan, selling about 1.65 million copies.[76][77]

Tatsuro Yamashita and his wife Mariya Takeuchi became popular in this period. Yamashita's 1983 song "Christmas Eve" reached number one on the Oricon weekly single charts on December 25, 1989.[78] In 1989, Ryuichi Sakamoto won the Best Album of Original Instrumental Background Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television for his contribution to the movie The Last Emperor.[79][80]

The popularity of City Pop declined when the Japanese asset price bubble burst in 1990. Its musical characteristics (except its "cultural background") were inherited by Shibuya-kei musicians such as Pizzicato Five and Flipper's Guitar.[73]

Mahafiraun and Muhyiddin joining Pakatan is stupid

Taufiq91 — Sat, 22 Jul 2017 16:31:48 +0800

Why should parents support the party whose upper echelon literally abolished the most progressive language policy in Malaysia? After all, this is the man who proposed Najib's worst policies like PPSMI abolishment. Why should any progressive urban parent agree to this?

Wouldn't Wan Azizah and Anwar agreeing to have Mahathir and Muhyddin in Pakatan make both of them look like desperate fools who are willing to deal with the devil just to win seats instead of being an actual opposition? What happens if they lose seats because of this? Wouldn't it make Anwar and Wan Azizah look out of touch and stupid?

Not only that, but doesn't this add more salt to the wounds from Kajang Move? Are they really this fucking stupid?

And Rafizi has the balls to say that Pakatan can "win" in GE14? Don't they learn anything from Hillary Clinton?

Mahathir learn nothing from Brazil, ah?

Ex-President of Brazil Sentenced to Nearly 10 Years in Prison for Corruption

RIO DE JANEIRO — The former president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, was found guilty of corruption and money laundering on Wednesday and sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison, a stunning setback for a politician who has wielded enormous influence across Latin America for decades.

The case against Mr. da Silva, who raised Brazil’s profile on the world stage as president from 2003 to 2010, stemmed from charges that he and his wife illegally received about MYR 4.717.900 00 in improvements and expenses from a construction company for a beachfront apartment.

In exchange, prosecutors said, the company was able to obtain lucrative contracts from Petrobras, the state-controlled oil giant.

His conviction tarnishes the legacy of one of Brazil’s most commanding political figures, a charismatic leader who grew up poor, challenged the military dictatorship and nurtured global ambitions for his nation, helping to land the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics.

Judge Sergio Moro, who issued Wednesday’s verdict, said that under Brazilian law, Mr. da Silva would be ineligible to run for office for twice as long as his sentence, or 19 years.

Legal scholars interpreted the ruling to mean that Mr. da Silva could still run for president while the case is being appealed. But if he fails on appeal, they said, it could either leave the Workers’ Party without an obvious candidate in next year’s vote or prevent him from taking office.

The conviction is the latest salvo by Brazil’s judicial branch, which has declared war on the country’s entrenched culture of corruption. Brazil’s current president, Michel Temer, was charged last month with corruption, part of a near constant stream of allegations and charges that have ripped through the nation’s political establishment in recent years.

Judge Moro, who oversees cases stemming from a broad graft scandal surrounding the state-controlled oil company, said Mr. da Silva’s actions were part of a “scheme of systemic corruption” at Petrobras.

“The president of the republic has enormous responsibilities,” Judge Moro wrote. “As such, his culpability is also” enormous when he commits crimes, he added.

Mr. da Silva presided over a period of robust economic growth in Brazil and remains a widely popular figure, credited with leading a social transformation that lifted millions from poverty in a nation with one of the world’s biggest disparities between rich and poor.

Brazil's old President returns to politics and kena jailed pulak.

Why does Mahathir think that going back to politics is a good idea? Why dun he try and do like Jimmy Carter where he can beat dengue or something?

Ridley Scott sudah jadi gila.

If you think Alien Covenant is shit, no worries. We now know why.

This is a quote about Blade Runner 2049 from Ridley Scott himself:

QUOTE

“Oh, it was always my thesis theory. It was one or two people who were relevant were… I can’t remember if (screenwriter) Hampton (Fancher) agreed with me or not. But I remember someone had said, ‘Well, isn’t it corny?’ I said, ‘Listen, I’ll be the best fucking judge of that. I’m the director, okay?’ So, and that, you learn — you know, by then I’m 44, so I’m no fucking chicken. I’m a very experienced director from commercials and The Duellists and Alien. So, I’m able to, you know, answer that with confidence at the time, and say, ‘You know, back off, it’s what it’s gonna be.’ Harrison (Ford), he was never — I don’t remember, actually. I think Harrison was going, ‘Uh, I don’t know about that.’ I said, ‘But you have to be, because Gaff, who leaves a trail of origami everywhere, will leave you a little piece of origami at the end of the movie to say, ‘I’ve been here, I left her alive, and I can’t resist letting you know what’s in your most private thoughts when you get drunk is a fucking unicorn!’ ‘ Right? So, I love Beavis and Butthead, so what should follow that is ‘Duh.’ So now it will be revealed (in the sequel), one way or the other.”

Here it is in video form

What the fuck does that even mean? No wonder Covenant was a crappy movie. He's suffering from dementia.

Where to find surplus shops for gov/edu computers?

Taufiq91 — Sat, 20 May 2017 19:16:50 +0800

[YOUTUBE]rKqdDiL8t80[/YOUTUBE]

So in America, there are surplus shops where you can buy old items by the government including computers, cars and even air conditioning. There are warehouses that has computers that were used by universities, local state governments, city councils, US Army and so on and so forth.

And if you watch American action comedies, they show characters going to shops that sell old cars used by FBI and such.

Is there a similar type of place in Malaysia? The federal government in MY upgrades their systems every 4 years and I'd like to see where do they dump all their old computers and if we can buy them?

Why do M'sians suck at investing

Taufiq91 — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 14:27:21 +0800

It's really bizarre how people are investing in vague ponzi schemes with no guarantees of returns while there are actual low risk high gains investments to be made out there.

What's even sadder is that Malaysians in the renewable energy industry are finding it hard to find investors even for low-risk high return investments like Solar Energy, and yet these shitty Ponzi Schemes can find investors easily within minutes. It makes me so angry.

So let me get this straight:

Solar Energy, a growing industry worldwide, has a low-risk, high return investment rate has trouble finding investors in Malaysia. Meanwhile:

JJPTR and Richway, vague companies offering high returns, but will not tell you "HOW", and thus has high risk potential, can find investors in minutes.

Do Malaysians just suck at investing? Why can't Malaysians in actual shit that will be beneficial to the rakyat for once?

Chances to enter UM/UPM Linguistics Degree

Taufiq91 — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 14:07:43 +0800

Why do Muslims care what conservative Muslims say?

Taufiq91 — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 10:58:24 +0800

So there's this article about some Muslims who really feel down by the more conservative Muslims who say that they are "not Muslim enough":

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asiapa....html?cid=FBins

Here's the thing though: Why not just tell them to either respond with "So?" or tell them to fuck off?

I've been told many many times that we should not give a fuck about what other people say. And yet these people took these slight criticisms and take it to heart. Why?

What I do best is to avoid these people. If they told me to that I wasn't being Muslim enough my respond is mostly "So?" and just walk away. I never want to see them again because his trivial triggering is not productive to me.

I don't know these people, and they don't know me. Why should they judge me? Judge the person you know best, or don't judge at all.

When a Southern Baptist Priest or an Orthodox Rabbi criticises Christian or Jewish girls for dressing "liberally" in Israel or The Deep South, do these girls follow the advice? Not really. They just live on with their lives because they know that these are just trivial shit that don't really affect whether they're a good person or not.

We should be telling Muslims who get affected by this that they should not give a fuck what these people say. If anyone tells you that you are not being a "Good Muslim", then just tell them to go fuck themselves nicely, walk away and never face that person ever again. It's not that hard.

Just finished Ending A. 12/10 a must buy for anyone who wants a great game.

If you like Platinum Games and stuff like MGR and Bayonetta, you'll love this.

Also, this is by Square Enix who made Final Fantasy and Yoko Taro who made Drakengard. So yeah, SE+Yoko Taro+Platinum=Masterpiece.

I'm now starting on my second playthrough to get Ending B. The game does not end until Ending E, so those who want to buy need to play all 5 endings.

PS: Main character 2B is waifu

So I met a Flat Earther who went on a 15 hr flight

Taufiq91 — Sun, 12 Mar 2017 21:48:37 +0800

He went on a 15 hour flight from London to KL.

And he still believed in a flat Earth.

Aeroplanes use GPS, which is a GLOBAL Positioning System Satellite.

You can also see the curvatures of Earth from the plane's window. The higher you fly, the more curves you can see.

I asked him how he still believed in a Flat Earth after that flight, he said:

"The planes just used blurry windows. All airlines are part of the conspiracy. The Earth is still flat to me".

I'm done. Just, why?
