anyone here using unique form factor phones like LG wing and Surface duo here?
I have a surface duo. I like that it can stand by itself when viewing youtube.
Did something happen? Just saw a huge bump in numbers in this community.
It did?? We’re still averaging 3 users/day (a counter that updates daily) and 13 users/week. Even this thread took like more than half a month to hit 100 replies.
Must be related to Lemmy update, in lemm.ee I’m seeing this numbers.
Ito na ata yung pinakamagandang line-up ng MMFF entries. 2016 lineup pa yung huling may magandang lineup ng MMFF for me.
Ano yung pinaka-okay sa lineup this year?
Gomburza, easily.
Talk To Me II
Has the concept of 13th Month pay destroyed the average filipino’s capacity to save for the future?
by average I mean minimum wage earner
Pangit din kasi timing nung 13th month pay. Sa Christmas natatapat or the month when you usually pay for the other half of matriculation fees or outstanding balances.
Then again, if you have a decent amount of leftover money to begin with, saving or buying small stocks shouldn’t be a problem.
As if naman may vehicle na fully paid up front. 🙄
baka natroma sa mga maiingay na motor. yun iba upgraded muffler kaya nakakagulat sa kalsada.
Kabwisit naman talaga mga yun lalo na yung gulong na parang galing sa tumbler ni Batman, lol.
It’s still a terrible comment that’s hardly witty, though.
This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What one thing a kid born after 2000 will not understand no matter how long you explain it?
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
this day ten years ago, paul walker and his colleague left the charity work for victims of the typhoon yolanda and both died in a single vehicle collision.
locked na pala yung november thread
Somewhere in QC. I received the notif just as it started to quake. Ingat phlemmy! Ps, mahina lang.
Naramdaman ni wifey and everyone in her call, but I didn’t. Haha.
Hehehe it didn’t feel mahina at all in our area 😅
Huyy lumindol hahaha
Salamat sa early warning ni google, nakalabas kame agad.
I’m just worried that with the increasing regularity of earthquakes in recent years that something big is about to happen. Something this country ain’t ready for.
ready na ba insurance?
after ng iilang earthquakes and aftershocks sa mindanao, sa luzon naman lumindol. damn, somethin’ cooking ba?
Wow! Very useful to lalo na kapag pupunta sa megamall. Lol
Grab Indoor Maps. Need lang to scroll sa pinaka baba ng Grab app home page
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.
Not gonna lie. Na-e-enjoy kong mag-jogging at tumambay sa Marikina Heights. Kung hindi lang ako pumapasok sa office, I would’ve done that more often, not just weekly. Baka daily pa!
