Damn, I really hate the “other side.” Imbes na makipag-discuss at mag-expand, sasabihan ka pang dami mong alam, like damn, it’s progressively worse just like Facebook (PH). Kung maging crackhead man ako or something, I’m rather bubbling myself here on Lemmy (fediverse).

FFAQ (Filipino Frequently Asked Question) #1: Bakit may pera ka pambili ng kotse pero wala naman parking?

A: Kasi naubos na pera sa pagbili ng kotse na kailangan nila dahil walang pakialam ang gobyerno sa mga commuter. Wala sila parking kasi 2million sinisingil ni DCMI para sa slot, o kaya naman 5k/month ng apartment na inuupahan nila, or worse (like the case when we were still renting), wala talagang parking allotted - problema niyo na daw yan sabi ni landlord.

Of course, hindi natin sinasabi na tama ginagawa nila or kinukunsinte natin. We’re just saying na there’s a reason behind it and by regurgitating this same old question again and again as well as agreeing with the legislators pitching “No Parking, No Car” bills, you are unwittingly supporting the uncreative and inutile politicos. Isama mo na rin mga wealthy who don’t have these problems because they can hoard vehicles to not be inconvenienced by whatever traffic management schemes concocted.

I was watching the news earlier and I’ve always wondered why people give interviews to the media. If my family gets massacred, the last thing I want to do is speak to a reporter. Not today, not ever. Conversely, a suspect saying “nagawa ko lang dahil sa mahigpit na pangangailangan” doesn’t do him any favors.

TIL na may Sibionics CGM pala. Mahal pa rin, though. 2.8k every 14 days isn’t all that different from Freestyle Libre’s 3.4k sensor. They’re both prohibitively expensive for such a luxury device.

More BS sa kabila: Tax the freelancers daw.

Pano mo itatax mga freelancers when most of them barely have a stable job/income, heck even a job? Kung meron man, it’s below the annual tax threshold. Wala rin silang benefits that regular employees have like life insurance, HMO, 13/14th month pay, bonuses, allowances to cover their electricity/internet/aircon, and so on. And some freelancers actually file their taxes, otherwise they lose out on visa and other perks that require an ITR.

Masama lang loob mo kasi nakakakita ka nagpopost sa social media na freelancer kuno making this and that when they’re either lying or not representative of the freelancer industry as a whole.

Ang dapat tina-tax viciously are the top 1%. Wag ka maging mouthpiece para sa mga mayayaman by blabbering yet another solution that creeps on your fellow poor Filipino.

Don’t have Spotify since I prefer to stream losslessly via Plex. I only have two 2023 albums constantly played, and it’s by Maisie Peters and the comeback from In Flames.

what’s with youtube x firefox fiasco lately? i don’t see any delays.

Wais ba mga pinoy YouTubers? I’m using LibreTube kasi may Sponsorblock, this is useful feature para ma-skip yun intro/ending credits or paid segments sa video. Pero this will only work kung si YT creator is ni-label nya yun mga segments ng video nya. Akalain mo bang mga Pinoy vloggers walang chapters kaya di effective sponsorblock.

I am unamused by work. Especially when it’s supposed to be my weekend and I am forced to come in.
