The Covidization of Singapore Math

When math writers or publishers in Singapore withheld or delayed publishing any new titles during the lockdown, because local bookstores were considered non-essential businesses, and in the living-with-Covid new normal, new foreign titles are being axed for being too dear to be shipped overseas due to rising freight costs and recurring global supply chain disruptions.

No one knows whether the publication of foreign editions of Singapore math textbooks is heading towards a subset industry or not as a result of the covidization of Singapore math.

signals of sexual frustration

Body language, habits, or actions a person acts out that indicate that he or she is experiencing sexual frustration. This frustration is most likely caused by a lack of recent sexual intercourse, and may be magnified if the sufferer has a new object of affection. Specific signals include peeling labels off of beer bottles and chewing ice cubes.

The ladies can see Larry a mile away - he's peeled all the labels off his beer bottles.

Single Mom

The single mom is highly narcissistic and reckless individual, who wants to combine the authority of a head of a family and the freedom of the single life. The single mom is revered and venerated in the media with infantile adoration, reflected in the noun "mom", as if she was the watcher's own mother. Such pity-suggesting, sugar-coating language is hiding the true nature of that phenomena- women who chase away the men from their family because they seem as an opposition to their power over the children and a breach to promiscuous sexual behaviour for the purposes of constantly searching for more optimal mating. The cost for the fulfillment of her "self-realization" is her children's mental and physical health, as they are at a greater risk of poverty, domestic abuse and sexual abuse. Also, any corporal punishments and psychological abuse inflicted by the single mother to establish her absolute power in the household will stay behind closed doors if the child wants to eat. Same with any complaints against the new "step-dad" mommy brought for companionship in the cold evenings. Single moms is that they do not care about their children(if they did, they would make an effort to keep their fathers in their lives), but about achieving uncontested power in the household and proving to the society which idolizes them that they are superwomen can work and take care of children simultaneously while having no problems getting laid in their free time.

Single moms are so brave and stunning- they are the mother and the father in the relationship!
