Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What’s a popular saying that you really dislike?
hehehe joke lang.
MAGA
Adulting. Mostly because people use it to refer to some supposed bucket list that one must do to be considered a grown up (e.g. saving, applying for IDs) when even a child do those, lol.
Kidding. Mostly because people use it to refer to some suppose bucket list that one must do to be considered a funny one (e.g. punchlines, sarcasm) when even a serious one do those, lol

Napapa AITA na ako every other decision na ginagawa ko. HAHAHA
Minamanipulate kana haha, better to trust ypur instincts
NGL it feels good to finally do things I always fantasize doing, kagaya ng pagrampa sa platform ng LRT 2 sabay twirl a la Catriona Gray pagtapat sa kahit anong ceiling fan na umaandar.
*And if you come back to me, you will find my love where it used to be *
Good morning po, Lemmy peeps! ♥️
Inom tayo ngayong umaga
Good morning!
Ma share lang, just got home from a long day of work. I haven’t seen a work drama for a while, nagka open forum after ng meeting pero it’s a calm and civilized back and forth argument. Nothing juicy, I just can’t help comparing it sa sigawan sa work ko dati sa pinas.
One of our head officers got fired from the position, it was immediately replaced with a brand new personnel. People from that team didn’t take it well and they’re just salty about it because the top leadership chose a brand new and non-experienced over one of the team with more experience.
I like changes in what’s going on in our troop, top leadership trying to get rid of the bad culture that has been plaguing for a while. Don’t get me wrong, our troop performed outstandingly at a brigade level but it sacrifices the well-being of the other personnel in the troop, that includes me.
Hopefully malagpasan tong transition period, takte nakaka burnout na din.
Quite a clusterfuck in Russia rn. I just hope this isn’t the domino that tips the world over into Fallout 5.
It’s Wagner Group vs. Putin now.
*Politico article.
*Al-Jazeera live updates
*BBC report
TLDR: Wagner goes apeshit on Moscow, specifically the advisors to Putin on Ukraine because they believe Moscow used Wagner troops as cannon fodder, killing many mercs. Moscow says this is an armed rebellion, and tensions are on the rise.
EDIT: Clarity. Wagner is not necessarily angry at Putin himself, rather at the leadership surrounding and advising him on Ukraine.

I think you are potentially placing yourself and your clients in a dangerous dynamic. In your race to [the] Titanic you are mirroring that famous catch cry: ‘She is unsinkable’.
-Rob McCallum, leading deep sea exploration specialist, in an email to OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush
“I think it was General MacArthur who said: ‘You’re remembered for the rules you break,’” Rush said, smiling.
Article went on quoting him saying the following (Emphasis mine):
The CEO acknowledged that he’d “broken some rules” with the Titan’s manufacturing but was confident that his design was sound.
“I think I’ve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that,” he told alanxelmundo. “Well, I did.”
He’s remembered now all right, but for all the wrong reasons.
EDIT: Quote source
are we supposed to feel bad for the billionaires? they don’t give two shits about us.
I only feel bad for the only teenager on the expedition, but this is coming from the fact that they were too young to go. The second article below makes me feel sadder as there was way more loss of life, but oddly enough, not much mention of it on official media channels, at least to my knowledge.
For the OceanGate casualty that was young, allegedly, according to a relative of the teenager who perished, the boy was, in her words, terrified and wasn’t up for it. Saying he only did it because it was father’s day.
Quite terrifying to imagine the last moments of this young boy, or several hundred of the refugees from the news article below, what they were feeling as they were staring down at their final moments of existence.
Also, it should be noted that another tragedy also happened just this week around the same time the OceanGate thing was happening. It’s been heavily debated online why the OceanGate disaster had more airtime as opposed to this massive loss of life just because those who died were richer.
I am only just starting to read up on the immigrant tragedy, and it’s a total shitstorm to say the least.
Yeah I’ve seen that news report on the hundreds of refugees that were left to die at sea. But of course the billionaire gets the airtime, a stupid one at that.
For them, based on the report, it is implosion that killed them instantly. So for them, it is like “ooh, the ocean is so dark down here…” then bam! No more consciousness since they are compressed within 0.03 seconds, surely crushing their brains and bodies including that teenager, instantly and turning them into ocean mush for the bottom dwellers to feed. They did ont even feel being flash fried by the heat generated by the implosion, which is briefly as hot as the surface of the sun, which will surely kill any living thing not miles away from that sub.
But of course, dead men and boys don’t tell no tales, so we cannot be certain. The scenario above is a rough estimate based on empirical data on the materials of the sub, the depth they are in upon implosion and the simulations of scientists on that situation.
Man, it’s like choosing the least worst way to die. If it was that quick, then that is way better than the alternative. Any death that is quick and painless is better than the slow, painful alternative. One can only hope that sans a peaceful death, one kicks the bucket quickly knocks on wood.
EDIT: Deleted above comment as double-posted. Something’s wrong with Lemmy on my end. Anyone else encounter the same?
