This monthβs Ask PHlemmy: What one thing a kid born after 2000 will not understand no matter how long you explain it?
Philippines
Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! βοΈ
An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! π΅π
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.
Filipino artists whose works were featured on our daily random thread covers.
How we were able to cope during the Cory days of daily long-ass blackouts without internet or anything to keep us preoccupied.
didn't know you go way back...
thanks for giving me another way of sayang 'tanda mo na pala'.
how we got through our youth with no touch screens and that kids after them won't know what a controller is
Nung nalaman ko yung KathNiel breakup, my first reaction was akala ko tagal nang hindi sila. Turns out I was confusing them with JaDine, lol.
Pero okay lang yan kung affected kayo or gusto niyo pag-usapan. Not going to rain on your parade unlike ng mga ilang bugok sa internets na bakit daw yan pinag-uusapan imbes na Gaza at Ukraine.
I always have Juan Tamad at Mister Shooli on my list as one of the greatest Filipino movies of all time, and glad that Mister Shooli himself uploaded a copy on the internet before he passed.
Celebrated my 40th today and first time rin kumain sa labas for my birthday in a long while. Usually prefer an understated festivity and have food delivered at home, but this one I thought was worth going out. I cleanly forgot that Christmas rush nga pala araw ko, so had to put up with really bad traffic.
Belated happy birthday. You sound younger than 40. Haha. Everyday na yung Christmas rush, buti you were able to celebrate then.
May update pala si Boost na highlight unread comments? Pretty useful.

Why not use the top of the rail? Wala masyado surface area? I realize I'm trying to insert logic on a cat's obstacle clearing but what the heck.
I used to chuckle when I'd see the 67th Air Supply or David Pomeranz tour here, and now seeing Incubus coming over I'm guessing the gen-Z's are like "who the hell" or wth with laughter.
Panis, kaya pa rin humatak ng Air Supply ng marami! ππ
Bubuksan na ang flyover sa Molino pero hindi pa rin tapos ang Abot Kamay na Pangarap
Just went through the longest day of my life yesterday. Covid sucks. Akala ko mild na lang nung start. Ingat kayo, guys.
Get well as soon as you can! Kahit mild, nakaka disorient talaga ang loss of smell and taste. Then nung ako tinamaan last May, almost 40Β° C inabot ng lagnat. Hope you can also recover in a week or sooner :-)
Thanks, dude. Yeah, feeling a lot better today, but hindi pa 100%.
Thinking of actually working from home tomorrow because VL na ko till the new year starting next week and I can never understand yung rule na di pwede magkadikit yung SL and VL.
Di naman ako umabot ng 40Β°. I bet that absolutely sucked.
Not gonna lie. Na-e-enjoy kong mag-jogging at tumambay sa Marikina Heights. Kung hindi lang ako pumapasok sa office, I wouldβve done that more often, not just weekly. Baka daily pa!
Talk To Me II
Why do the villains have the most memorable campaigns? Jajaja-jamby, Gusto ko happy ka, lumangoy sa basura, pia-pia-pia cayetano, budots, Erap para sa Mahirap, I could go on and on.
More BS sa kabila:
Bibili raw siya ng pepper spray kasi may exhibitionist sa loob ng jeep. Eh di lahat ng kapwa mo pasahero pati ikaw damay. Ito naman mga replies hindi man lang sabihan na bad (bordering on fatalist) idea yun.
Edit: Just to add to this: "self-defense" stuff (martial arts, taser) gives you a false sense of security and confidence. It's primary purpose is that when the only option is to fight, you have something to do/use. Hindi ibig sabihin na when some fool decides to show his dick, talks trash, or asks for your wallet, your first inclination is to do a roundhouse kick. The first, second, and third option is your safety. Kung pwede mo wag pansinin or ibigay wallet mo, that's what you do. If death is probable (hindi pa kontento sa wallet or an actual rape attempt), that's when you resort to the pepper sprays, taser, and small joint manipulation.
Ehh...looking at the thread, a lot of the top replies pointed out that it would be a bad idea. Top reply even says just to shout out that someone is showing their junk and the OP even replies to those stating it's a bad idea thanking them for letting her know. A lot of other replies are only pointing out the disgusting behavior of the exhibitionist. Granted, there are a lot of people who support it without knowing it's a bad idea, but I still feel you're misrepresenting what's happening over there.
When I first posted this, there were several replies on it (barely an hour in), most of it telling the OP to buy the pepper spray. The replies you mentioned didn't show up until after I already shared it (they're tagged blue when I went back today).
Sure, the succeeding replies eventually gave correct info, but giving bad advice on a "what should I do" thread (especially when it's the initial ones) is terrible/harmful.
Point still stands though that "self defense" on a guy passively showing his dick (that OP claims she was already able to deal with verbally) is just being vindictive and Sonny Parsons level of stupidity.
imagine they catch a serial killer and they figure out the commonality among his victims is that they all played Ranked Solo queue in League of Legends
I can't shake off this nagging feeling that these strong quakes hitting the Philippines with increasing regularity in the past few years are precursors to something huge that's about to occur, like the pressure is looking for a weak spot to unleash mayhem. I fear it would be an earthquake higher than magnitude 8, that it could even reach magnitude 9, in which case it's going to be very bad. I hope not but it almost feels like a premonition, idk... Maybe I'm just too worried but then again, the signs are pointing there.
Grabe sa kabila yung mga upvoted comments on jeepney modernization. Poverty porn daw or paawa effect yung argument against it when the OP literally said on the title he's for modernization and that the implementation has to be realistic. Tbf, yung analogy na quoted is laughingly bad, but it's not hard to see the point being made.
Furthermore, a comment saying that arbitrarily copying public transport fixes from other countries and applying it to Metro Manila won't work is getting downvoted. Pakita daw ng studies na it won't work, lol. The onus of proof lies on those saying it will work, hindi sa nagsasabi na it won't. It's common sense to assume that what works elsewhere won't work everywhere, although the guy touched partly on why he thinks so.
I did notice that there were a lot more people who mock things as "anti-poor." There were only specific people who did it before, but it seems to becoming more popular in r/ph.
Yeah it's weird. Hindi ko alam if nasa 2ph4u ako or r/PH.
For all of r/PH's annoyances and faults, it's still the place that shaped much of my present politics and personal outlook. And to see it devolve into that kind of DDS-ish circlejerking makes me wish I wasn't putting down the 2020-22 posters much, lol.
Sino gotyme users here? Pano magbayad sa shopee? Di kasi makita gotyme sa list. Or dapat ba i-enroll as debit card? Sana may iba pa option
A professional troll on the other side of the internet is spreading off-topic comments with their favorite topic ad nauseam after their previous accounts were banned.
Bat kaya nagigisa yun smni ngayon? I mean kala ko kaya silang protektahan ni sir 88M dahil sinuportahan nila xa nun debate
Ang baho ng intro ng AV Properties house tour. That's why I stopped watching their videos, lol.
