Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What's a popular saying that you really dislike?

“You deserve what you tolerate.”

Such a mean thing to say to someone who’s at a low point in their life. It’s not a ‘wake up call’ that some people think it is. If you say this to a stranger, I would automatically assume that you lack empathy. No one deserves to be abused or manipulated. Some people grew up without knowing their worth, or how they should be loved and treated properly with respect. Their resilency to abuse doesn’t mean that they deserve it.

Adulting. Mostly because people use it to refer to some supposed bucket list that one must do to be considered a grown up (e.g. saving, applying for IDs) when even a child do those, lol.

Kidding. Mostly because people use it to refer to some suppose bucket list that one must do to be considered a funny one (e.g. punchlines, sarcasm) when even a serious one do those, lol

"Pag gusto may paraan, pag ayaw may dahilan" is another one. Hindi mo alam ano pinaglalaban nung umimbento ng quote, lmao.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Is that even astronomically accurate?

Blood (in reality of the covenant) is thicker than water (actually of the womb).

Also you are thiccer than both of these.

If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best

Narrator: Yeah, sure, go justify your crappy, toxic behavior.

We're all people, but even at our worst, at least we should try to do our best to be good humans to other humans.

I get where this quote is coming from, but it's just been used too many times in the wrong way that the very sight of it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.

Ignorance is Bliss

okay lang maging ignorante sa mga bagay bagay pero kung nakaka-apekto na sa mga kasakasama mo hindi na.
