Was watching economic news lately, and NEDA had said that we are on track to becoming an upper middle income country. I could not believe it then I realize that our Gini coefficient's to blame HAHAH too much income inequality.

Hope our economic planners could do something about our country's wealth gap, though I think that if there's something they could have done, they would have done it ages ago.

Seems like my lemm.ee account cannot see this RD. I wonder why. Baka hindi lang nagsync yung dalawa.

Anyway, bagong hyperfixation: fiscal policies ng bawat Philippine president.

Not wishing anyone something bad to happen to them, but I wonder when would Lemmy solve its first internet case or have its first ARG

TIL that "Ped Xing" means "pedestrian crossing". I've always thought it was a translation of "pedestrian lane" for Chinese people BABAHABAHAHAHAHA

Flat Earth. I'm astonished how many people close to me still believes that the Earth is flat and that we are prohibited from falling off by an ice wall at the edges.

Anyway, I've been through a conspiracy theorist phase myself (cringe, I know) so I can't really say I'm better than them.

Why can't our government enact a law that limits car ownership to those with a dedicated parking space? There are multiple cars here that take up sidewalk space and if sinita mo sila, ikaw pa yung mali kasi andami naman daw puwedeng pagtuunan ng pansin, yung kotse pa nila.

Hmm...online mobile games? Guys my age play CODM or Mobile Legends or Valorant or something along those lines, but I am barely interested in what they are doing. I've played my fair share of online games, though they all were at either my laptop or at an internet cafe PC. Never on my phone. In fact, the only things I can remotely call a game in my phone is a Morse Code Koch trainer, a kanji practice app, and a Reversi/Othello game.

With the recent Oshi No Ko debacle on incest, now I'm trying to rationalize society's unfavorable opinion on incest. What element in incest makes it bad? If both people love each other romantically, is of the right age and neither was coerced into doing so, then what right does society have to keep them apart?

Okay, someone may argue that the same bloodline can cause genetic deformities and disorders in their offspring. I get that (Hapsburg jaw is a thing after all). But if that's the case, then shouldn't we also frown upon getting together with people with inheritable diseases (i.e., heart disease, cancers, diabetes), genetic disorders, or harmful lifestyles (i.e., cigarette smoking) that increase the risk of offspring suffering due to those inherited ailments/disorders? AAAAAAHHHH

Now I can't seem to find how incest is objectively and morally harmful to society. Does anyone know a strong argument against it?

Hmm, I can talk about the entire Cold War. From the Acheson-Lilienthal Plan which led to the Baruch Plan whose rejection sparked the Cold War arms race to the 1970s detente to Reagan's "MR. GORBACHEV, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!", I can talk about it with only minor stops. Oh, isama na din yung more obscure proxy wars during the period such as the chess wars (Soviet school of chess, Karpov, Kasparov, Fischer) and yung Transfermium Wars (Dubna Institute, UCLA-Berkeley, CERN)

I've found another nostalgia-invoking anime song, which is Snow Halation from the anime Love Live! School Idol Project. S1E2 palang ako so I have to restrain myself from playing it on repeat or else I'll diminish the significance and ruin the experience for me when I get to the Snow Halation scene, whenever that is.

Okay, suppose we have an Isekai Quartet moment but with school anime a million years from now. Here are the anime who get isekai'd into an elite school:

  • Light Music Club (K-On!)
  • Service Club (Oregairu)
  • Classics Club (Hyouka)
  • Outdoor Activities Club (Laid-Back Camp)
  • Pastimers Club (Asobi Asobase)
  • Host Club (Ouran High School Host Club)
  • Art Club (This Art Club Has A Problem, Blue Period)
  • Board Game Club (Love is War)
  • Occult Club (Jujutsu Kaisen, Asobi Asobase)
  • I'll include Nichijou, Daily Lives of High School Boys, and Bocchi the Rock! for good measure.

How would you imagine interactions between characters would be? Personally, I can imagine the Pastimers Club and Board Game Club eventually merging at some point (after all, Olivia likes pastimes, as well as Chika).

I have already seen a manga community here, but I wonder if there's a light novel community here already. Thanks!

EDIT: The manga community's link is [email protected]

 

So far I've seen Bocchi the Rock, Sword Art Online, and Oshi No Ko, and the BTR one seems to be the one with the most engagement so far out of the three
