Nabuhay na naman foreigner mods accusation sa r/PH 🤣
For the record, isa lang “foreigner” sa moderators — the founder, on account that he’s Caucasian. But I’m not even sure if he still counts as a “foreigner” in the sense that I don’t consider Sandara or Alex Compton as one. He’s been living here for decades. He doesn’t even interfere on mod affairs, contrary to claims na he’s some power-hungry despot.
May isa or dalawa siguro na full blooded Pinoy na nasa ibang bansa na ngayon, but if you think they’re not eligible to moderate the sub, I’m going to kick your xenophobe balls/cunt with barbed-wire-wrapped Steel Toe combat boots.
Awra -> Bumberong pinagsasaksak daw -> Killua
Ano kaya sunod? ROTFLMAO
Magaling pala itong si Leylah Fernandez. Usually when Filipinos hype “one of their own” it’s fueled by pinoy pride dick-riding, but she’s really really good. Not sure lang ano sya sa rankings or if she won any grand slams… but purely on eye-test, it’s top-tier modern day tennis. Masarap panoorin regardless what her lineage is.
Edit: Siya pala yung hina-hype na kalaban ni Raducanu sa Wimbledon Finals a few years ago. Raducanu has struggled since then (no. 288!) while Fernandez is currently 35th.
Pupunta ng Pinas si Olivia Rodrigo??? Waah kilig
Hayyy… Marso na naman, at nagsisimula na naman ang kaalingsangan rito…
Ilang kembot na lang pala first anniversary na ng blackout. Congratulations sa 15 users (according sa stats) na tumindig, lmao.
Found a pusakal with folded ears, a Puspin fold. Haha. May he continue to evade the authorities. Aggressive manghuli ng pusa yung baranggay where he lives :(
This month’s Ask PHlemmy: If you could wake up tomorrow and be an expert in one skill you currently lack, which skill would you choose and for what reason?
Athlete, pwede ba lahat ng sports? lol
EDIT: cooking na lang
mechanical engineering to be able create all sorts of convoluted mechanisms
I think as of right now, it’s drawing. Because, I currently don’t have many plans to practice drawing, even though I want to, because I also have other skills I want to master, I just think this one is the most beneficial, since I also like writing, it helps the creative process tremendously.
Drawing ata is more on talent. You can learn the skills but iba pa rin yung may ingrained ka na creative talent. Otherwise, magiging ka lang just like 70% of the saturated market na puros chibi art/weeb/watercolor tracing ginagawa.
But if you just want to draw and not make it a livelihood, okay lang naman and I get what you’re saying. I sure as shit could use those skills to make simple illustrations.
Good point, creativity is what matters there… yeah, I could use the skill but having the talent would be harder, and even if I had time to practice, who’s to say that I easily get distracted by other things and be left without time, since from my experience, it takes a lot of time and writing text is easier. Eh, kahit na, di naman ako artist hehe…
After much consideration over the past month, I think carpentry is a skill I’d like to be an expert at. So many opportunities pragmatically and personal projects to fulfill
Woodworking. Would be nice to be able to create drawers, playhouses, desks, and other crafts on my own.
Kainis yung nang-video ng daga sa NAIA. Pano daw kung nakita ng foreigner? Who gives a flying fuck what they think? As if naman hindi na sila pupunta ng Pinas pag nakakita sila daga, lol. It’s also one rat in like forever and on our best terminal at that. It’s not like it’s a common occurence. Hambalusin kita ng Taylor Swift poster tube mo e.
Kaya usong uso mga kabitan at sampalan sa primetime kasi that’s what people want to see. And by people, I mean the masa. Yan yung katulong na kinakaliwa pala ni mister while she’s out there busting her ass. Yan yung sari-sari store/carinderia owner na nagfa-fantasize sa construction worker na araw araw kumakain/bumibili ng softdrinks sa tindahan nila. Yung mga tao na nagse-settle pa rin ng differences nila by means of throwing plates at sinasabunutan yung kabit pag nakita. Yung housewife na taga-saing, taga-laba, taga-luto na may internal turmoil.
Sa kanila naka-toka ang mga advertisers with their laundry detergents, ginisa mixes, infant formulas, at mga piniprito na processed/preserved foods.
Ika nga ni Michael Steintorf sa The Wire: “Kids don’t vote”.
Mayron pa bang nag-aaral? Hows life?
don’t you just hate the last stretch of the week before the long weekend it’s really fucking with my mental rn
This is semi-correct. I still browse Reddit but I use the same account. I don’t see the point of using another considering I don’t post anyway and I admitted many times that I still go there, although admittedly posting IS tempting specifically if there’s an interesting topic.
On that note, I only had one alternick ever in r/PH and that was filipin0truther. It was a gimmick account intended to confuse people because he would act like the typical “filipinotruther” but also contradict himself by posting Rappler sources and other random threads. Babaw lang ng kaligayahan ko laughing at the reactions (“Truther is a double agent???”, “So okay lang ang Rappler kung pabor sa argument mo?”) Hahahaha.
It was a gimmick account intended to confuse people
Eh, Poe’s law is in effect. truther would absolutely use Rappler as a source if it helped his narrative. He also contradicted himself several times by not actually reading the article he was posting to attack Robredo or anyone associated with the opposition. So your satire may have actually been too accurate. truther is a dumbass and has no integrity after all.
EDIT: On another note, I just found out na mod na pala siya ng r/philippinesbad na subreddit. This is just more reason to dismiss that subreddit as nationalistic nonsense.
I’d say r/philippinesbad has legitimate gripes, but I agree the truther’s recent inclusion to the mod team is questionable
anybody here play hell divers 2?
