Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


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.

This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What worries you most about today’s youth?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Im worried about the kids of today being driven to become terminally online. The opportunities for children to go out and have fun are diminishing because of rising costs and increasing car centric infrastuctures. I feel like this is why more and more children are becoming depressed and isolated

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

ahhh yes the death of third place tbh I can see why baguio is so crowded during the tourist season it is one of the cheapest places to go out relative to Tagaytay and LU

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

us locals are the ones who don't go out, to accommodate the droves of people who come

Speaking of 3rd places, napapaisip ako minsan kung viable pa ang "3rd place" exclusive groups (ie eagles, masons, rotary). Ive never been involved in any pero nawala na yung "mystery" ba sa mga grupong mga ganyan? The exclusive networking seems more or less gone with today's interconnectivity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

my definition of a 3rd place is a communal space where there is little to no capital(money) needed to enter so think the library , church , public parks those clubs are still exclusive in the sense that you need an absurd level of influence or cash to enter

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You're right. May price of entry nga naman.

Baka mas wala na silang pag-asa.

  • Mas mahal na ngayon ang bilihin
  • Mas konti na ang sweldo
  • Mas magulo na ang buhay ngayon.

the term situationship idk maybe I'm just old fashioned but if you're gonna date multiple partners at once at least be transparent about it with the other parties

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

pagkaintindi ko sa situationship parang MU ng nakaraan, este non-committal dahil di pa talaga alam kung anong gagawin sa buhay hahaha so di naman siyang bagong bagay feel ko

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

yeah it's probably just me being old fashioned yung pagkakaintindi ko sa MU is high chance na exclusive kayo because you have mutual respect where as situationship I see it as it's either 1:Many or Many:Many

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's MU for gen Zs. Im all for dating multiple people for all genders too basta ba naman upfront agad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

TIL na may term na "situationship".

Lumaki sila sa panahon ng ragebait eh. Either you do or you dont support a thing kaya maraming galit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The funny thing about relatives asking when you're getting married is that it doesn't stop, lol.

Once you get married, they're asking when you'll have a kid. When you do have a kid, they ask kailan nyo susundan. Pag sinundan nyo, kailan naman daw lalaki.

It really is just harmless small talk. It's the only thing you can ask someone you haven't seen in months. It's not like they're asking about your sex life or who's top and bottom.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah ganyan naman talaga. Eventually, sa mga bata naman maipapasa ang "anong grade mo na? > graduate ka na? > may jowa ka na? > kailan ka magaasawa?"

Not only tipping, but we should also stop vilifying people who do not practice CLAYGO in public kasi parehas lang root nyan. Employers don't want to hire more cleaners (or in some cases yung security guard pinagliligpit kahit wala naman extra) and they're relying on you being a fucking crab that will post and shame others who don't fix the table for the next customer.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Kawawa naman mga nanalo sa lotto, baka ipa-subpoena raw to verify that they're real people. Pano naman security nila? Para lang i-appease mga bitter este bettor?

Laugh trip pa sa kabila... hindi daw believable yung 50-51-52 na combination, lmao. I've been betting for a long-ass time, and three straight digits aren't uncommon as you think. Meron pa nga instances na 4 straight, iirc.

Edit: Pero, at the same time, this is why it's good to have senators like Tulfo. No other senator is going to bring up a "poor" question like this sa floor and at such a quick span. Makikita mo nga si Koko pasilip silip dun sa picture nung winner, clearly showing he isn't actually familiar with the viral photo.

Looks like r/PH has been getting posts about my Evangelion uploads. Thanks to those who have been talking about it!

For the uninitiated, the tagalog dub has been considered lost media for decades! Not only did ABS-CBN air it just once and never again but no uploads exist anywhere and no one has stepped forward with recordings. I myself have never watched it and only learned that a tagalized version aired in the late 90s, thanks to an r/PH thread a few years ago. There was no way I could have recorded it even if I was aware of its existence because it conflicted with Gundam, a series that's more popular in the family despite being Eva fans as well.

Fortunately, someone replied to my Gundam Wing post correcting me about the actual air date (of GW) and revealing that he has recordings to prove his claim. The conversation led to him saying he has the Evangelion series (all 26 episodes!) as well as a few other rare anime and he sold it to me.

I don't make any money from the channels, but I think it was well worth it. The wife would probably thump me on the head when she finds out, lmao.

Tbf, his alibi for "tax evasion" is that he was under the impression that his staff took care of those. Sure it's good practice to check if your staff is doing their job, but from what we know of BBM (a bum), I wouldn't expect him to do that.

It's also not unheard of to miss filing ITRs out of oversight. My first employer failed to do it for 3 years and I only found out when they couldn't give me my TIN number. It wasn't malicious or anything.

That said, I do like this law because it helps freelancers pay taxes easier by digitizing BIR services. They don't have paid leaves so they don't have the luxury of setting aside a day to do that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I definitely guilty for hating the guy without considering his move, but kudos to his admin (not him hehe) for doing thia digitize thingy

Pero sana nga lang mas maging easy talaga at walang delay sa proceasing. Alam naman natin na kahit sino pa nakaupo, may issue parati sa mga government offices. Parang yun drivers license ko, ilang months na wala pa rin ID, papel pa rin dala-dala ko

Kumusta yung first week back nyo last week? Between my unplanned covid leave and planned leaves, I was away from work for three weeks. Ang hirap mag-adjust and mag-focus ulit. Not sure if post-covid effect or ako lang talaga.

Also, the first email I read back was the announcement of the Philhealth contribution increase, so that was fun.

I never thought that this year would bring someone to me that would so drastically change my outlook in life that I feel as if I can be myself after decades of being forced to fit into something I'm not. I've never felt so light, like a massive burden has been taken off my shoulders. These innate connections and natural compatibility, as well as so many other things that I have never felt before in my life. Feelings so intense and overflowing that there seems no end in sight. I can truly be myself around this person and she feels the same way about me too.

This is way better than a dream. I never would have looked for this, or thought it was possible, but here I am. She is real. If there's something greater than true love, this is it. Everything just feels so natural and so free, there are no walls between us and we can just be ourselves, and the other just gets it. Never felt or seen in others such a wonderful feeling before. I once thought love was something else, but now? There's no doubt that this is it. It's definitely her. No doubt at all.

I've always had nagging doubts and limits to myself in my past relationships, but this one, there's none of that. Never have I felt the whole of me react like this to someone before, and neither have I seen others feel this way. She is definitely the one. I've never been more sure about anything in my life.

Is it true @decadentrebel that you’re UndustFixation on YouTube?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Yes.

But YT's content ID is annoying so I'm more "active" on the FB page counterpart.

Filipinos: Tama lang yan modernization! Kawawa naman environment. Gawa gawa lang kayo rason mga tsuper.

Also Filipinos after hearing the 40 peso fare: Ano ba yan, pano naman kaming mga commuter??
