May 22 Word of the Day
A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.

Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:

* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic
"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A really, really tiny country who people from America think is part of China. Also, it is one of the countries that practice hybrid democracy because it is not exactly democracy if the same political party, PAP has ruled for so long. Also, it's a really cool place for nightlife and is building more cooler buildings than Dubai. Lastly, really dependent on other countries as it is too small to get natural resources. NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER EVEN EXPERIENCED A NATURAL DISASTER NOT EVEN A SHAKE!!!!!

A country that you should give a chance to before making any snide comments about it.

Despite being a tiny 647km island surrounded by water, and despite all the negativity for its reputation of having too many restrictions, Singapore is actually a stable and safe country with great food and harmonious people.

If you don't care too much about politics, and would like to live in a place where jogging on the street at 4am is actually plausible without you getting mobbed, Singapore is a great choice to consider.
If you travel across the causeway from Malaysia and suddenly find yourself on spotlessly clean streets, then, welcome to Singapore.
