What separates Lemmy and Reddit is that you don't have to overthink what you post, lol. I can just say what I want and not worry about adding receipts to whatever I say, whether I got my facts right, or do I come off bad. If edits need to be made, you can go back later in the day when you're free because no one would be reading it until after a week anyway LMAO. I believe there are also logs that allow others to check what you edited. So while commenting here interrupts work, it doesn't take more than a few minutes to do unlike in Reddit when it would literally take half an hour or so.

I still use Reddit daily for browsing non-PH news and happenings, but I completely stopped posting. Every once in a while I'll try to comment something but delete it immediately after. I realized that replying and posting ate up a huge chunk of my time and often derail my momentum when working, so I don't really miss it. But at the same time, posting my thoughts is an outlet and it's also nice to revisit to see where my headspace was at a particular point. As an alternative, I just post it on my FB feed and set it to "Only Me".

It doesn't help that r/PH is a shit-show echo chamber now, mostly because of the users. Nakaka-turnoff yung mga matapobre, antinatalists, eugenicists, and low-effort threads. I haven't been there for a week pero pustahan mga posts diyan tungkol na naman sa pinipilit sila magperform sa Christmas Party tapos pag malapit na bagong taon sasabihin nila ang lakas lakas magpatunog ng tambutso hulugan naman daw yung motor. They're seriously just as bad as the bastards on FB's comment sections.

That said, I'm happy it all played out the way it did. I was able to get UndustFixation started, able to finish some of my PS5 backlogs, go out of the country for the first time since 2012, and I'm bonding with my daughter now through our shared interest in blind boxes (she got me into it actually lol).

 

Filipinos often have this idea that we suck at everything.

For example, when they see bad infrastructure design or mismanaged infra, they go: "OnLy In Da PeLePens". Except that awful infra is present everywhere else.

Here's one of an escalator in Georgia:

When they see litter, they say the exact same thing. Except that other countries litter too. In fact, here's one I found in Japan last week that was left by teenagers. When I got back the next morning it was still there. Why? Japan supposedly has subpar trash collection that's largely dependent on citizens bringing their trash home.

So, in this thread: Post anything you find that debunks this mindset.

If you have any VHS or betamax tapes you would like to donate or sell, please reach out to me at [email protected].

I can also provide watermark-free copies of videos if you work for a TV network (and need it for a news piece) or can prove that you modeled or appeared in a commercial. Please take note I'm not a dummy and it's entirely at my discretion if I find the request authentic or not. For this, you can email me at [email protected].

Any other requests, sorry but no.

I think you're just focusing on the pooping cycle. The part where the parasite possesses the snail and creates this elaborate display with the eyes to draw its real intended host/target is what's fascinating.

I saw this in Midsommar. Thankfully it wasn't too explicit in showing it.

He was also the cornerman of Kimo, the guy clearly seen in the prefight trying to get into it with the Gracies. Dude had bad news written all over him.

Never heard of this. Love the entry!

Dapat kasi higpitan pa nila lalo yung anti-scalping measures. Tipong kung bibili ka ng multiple tickets dapat yung names ng each additional ticket holder need mo na ilagay when purchasing and it should match the name of each claimant sa venue. Para hindi mo ma-resell.

Yun nga lang, may gana ba yung nagchecheck sa venue or basta na lang pinapapasok basta may ticket? That's the likely scenario actually, which would make any countermeasure moot.

This does sound like a suicide attempt. I think a lot of people attribute being hogtied to the presence of an attacker when those who commit suicide are known to tie themselves so that they won't be able to back out.

I thought he was going to be an inutile president at best, but he's alright so far. Parang P-Noy days lang wherein you can generally ride out the term peacefully, save for a few hiccups. Duterte era lang talaga yung so bad you have your butt cheeks clenched every day. Of course andyan pa rin yung mga hihirit na gusto daw "isanitize" yung memories ng Marcoses (as if naman what BBM does isn't independent of his father's transgressions) or calm before the storm daw, lmao.

Then again, I'm not one to lionize politicians. I give them props if they do something good and chastise them if there's anything bad, and I don't care what the name on the plaque says. That's why it's much easier for me to objectively look at Robin Padilla (who says a lot of stupid shit that doesn't endear him to an already hostile crowd) instead of saying intellectually dishonest sweeping statements like "WaLa NaMaN SiLbi" which isn't true at all. I like that JV Ejercito is willing to look at small scale nuclear reactors for alternative energy while Risa Hontiveros (who usually isn't wrong) gets a thumbs down from me for not even looking at the proposal and going "hurr durr meltdown bataan". Villar is correct that we should be putting as much attention to the ASF outbreak as the Guo circus.
