Green username font color on the Voyager app:
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?
Woodworking. Would be nice to be able to create drawers, playhouses, desks, and other crafts on my own.
Athlete, pwede ba lahat ng sports? lol
EDIT: cooking na lang
mechanical engineering to be able create all sorts of convoluted mechanisms
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
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…
I normally stick up for Robin when people make dumb statements about him (e.g. “WaLa NaMaN gInAgAwA yAn!”) but his unabashed defense of Quiboloy just takes the cake. Kung naniniwala ka na inosente siya, then why are you blocking the subpoena? Kaya nga siya pinapapunta sa senado to explain his side.
Tapos “hero” daw kasi si Quiboloy. Yes, so was Jim Jones, Bill Cosby, Harry Roque, Jimmy Savile, OJ Simpson, Chris Benoit, the list goes on. Whatever good they did will never outweigh their depravity.
If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit

So what’s up everyone? Buhay pa kayo?
Very much alive, kasi di active mga snowflake mods dito tulad nina @choco_mallows at @sarcasticookie
Buhay pa, siguro?
Musta ang Marso mga ka-lemmy? Sa mga gotymers jan, 4% na lang interest. Pero not surprised sa move.
i struggle to understand the reason kung bakit tinayo ang gotyme bank tbh
Kabadtrip mga nangunguha ng uploads and don’t have the common decency to give credit.
Gusto pa maging wise-ass and tell me that ABS/GMA/RPN owns that video as if that’s the bone of contention. I never claimed to be the owner, kaya nga I abhor CTTO e. The question is may mapapanood ka ba kung walang nag-record 30 years ago, took care of the tape, spent hours cleaning, digitizing, and converting said footage? Wala, di ba? So stop pretending that you can just waltz in on those channels and get that footage. Antayin mo sa 2029 ipalabas sa Buko yan, bugok.
Adjacent to that issue, does this mean the end of your youtube channel? https://youtube.com/watch?v=NJoH2JHTF2g
Ngayon ko lang ulit nabisitahan sa YT channel. Then pagtingin ko sa FB, active updates pa rin doon 😁
Yup, I stopped uploading na sa YT. Kakatamad mag-update ng multiple channels. FB has the most potential for engagement - mas maraming nagco-comment and nagshe-share ng wisdom about the upload. It also has comparatively tolerable copyright restrictions.
I did, however, post sa UndustSessions yung Zesto ad the other day knowing a lot of people are going to upload it from FB. Just like what happened with my Rivermaya video.
Owww I see, I didn’t know you had a 2nd yt channel
It was intended for narrative videos pero tinamad na ako, lol.
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
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.
Hayyy… Marso na naman, at nagsisimula na naman ang kaalingsangan rito…
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”.
Kahit hindi kasalanan ng nakapatay (kesyo self-defense pa yan or negligence ng victim), the de facto ruling is almost always to charge who killed them kasi dead is dead. Kaya nga tayo may courts e, to prove definitively kung sino culpable.
Pwede rin kasi na yung SUV tumatakbo above 60 or nakita niya yung rider ahead and had time to avoid him pero sinadya pa rin banggain to teach the rider a lesson knowing he’s in the right. I’m not saying that’s what happened but this is exactly what due process means.
Inuuna nyo ulit kasi emosyon at inaaway na naman yung constitution at rule of law.
don’t you just hate the last stretch of the week before the long weekend it’s really fucking with my mental rn
