Nung nalaman ko yung KathNiel breakup, my first reaction was akala ko tagal nang hindi sila. Turns out I was confusing them with JaDine, lol.
Pero okay lang yan kung affected kayo or gusto niyo pag-usapan. Not going to rain on your parade unlike ng mga ilang bugok sa internets na bakit daw yan pinag-uusapan imbes na Gaza at Ukraine.

Hehehe saan galing yung ganitong sentiment? Internet in general, or sa “other side?”
Little on column A, a little on column B lmaooo
I strongly believe the people on column B are the same who complained and disagreed with the sub shutdown/boycott last June because they don’t want the mods to decide for them, and the API changes do not directly affect their site experience.
Bunch of grandstanding, disingenuous hypocrites.
Celebrated my 40th today and first time rin kumain sa labas for my birthday in a long while. Usually prefer an understated festivity and have food delivered at home, but this one I thought was worth going out. I cleanly forgot that Christmas rush nga pala araw ko, so had to put up with really bad traffic.
Belated happy birthday. You sound younger than 40. Haha. Everyday na yung Christmas rush, buti you were able to celebrate then.
The only time I feel 40 is when kneeling or making sudden movements. Tried to teach my kid how to jump from the floor to the bed in a standing position the other day and almost tweaked my back in the process, lmao. I was able to do that easily 5, 10 years ago.
Belated happy 40th to you, head mod! Here’s to 40 more 😁 🥂
Thanks!
I’d probably be using a nitrogen displacement helmet if I’m still alive when I’m 80, lol.
Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy belated birthday!
was the food good tho?
Hell yes. It should be, lol.
I always have Juan Tamad at Mister Shooli on my list as one of the greatest Filipino movies of all time, and glad that Mister Shooli himself uploaded a copy on the internet before he passed.

Why not use the top of the rail? Wala masyado surface area? I realize I’m trying to insert logic on a cat’s obstacle clearing but what the heck.
Catto has 6 lives left…
May update pala si Boost na highlight unread comments? Pretty useful.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄 😊 To you head mod and everyone in the Lemmy PH community 🙏🏼
Happy holidays!
@decadentrebel @the_yaya merry Christmas to all
Bubuksan na ang flyover sa Molino pero hindi pa rin tapos ang Abot Kamay na Pangarap
I used to chuckle when I’d see the 67th Air Supply or David Pomeranz tour here, and now seeing Incubus coming over I’m guessing the gen-Z’s are like “who the hell” or wth with laughter.
Good morning Phlemm peoples!
may plema sa tshirt mo
Just went through the longest day of my life yesterday. Covid sucks. Akala ko mild na lang nung start. Ingat kayo, guys.
Get well as soon as you can! Kahit mild, nakaka disorient talaga ang loss of smell and taste. Then nung ako tinamaan last May, almost 40° C inabot ng lagnat. Hope you can also recover in a week or sooner :-)
Thanks, dude. Yeah, feeling a lot better today, but hindi pa 100%.
Thinking of actually working from home tomorrow because VL na ko till the new year starting next week and I can never understand yung rule na di pwede magkadikit yung SL and VL.
Di naman ako umabot ng 40°. I bet that absolutely sucked.
Panis, kaya pa rin humatak ng Air Supply ng marami! 😂😂
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.
That’s why it’s called self-defense and not preemptive-attack
Pag nadamay yung driver, good luck haha
kung hindi mahangin sa dyep, then pepper spray it is. wala, eh, damay damay na yan. mapasali pa driver niyan. haha
Grabe sa kabila yung mga upvoted comments on jeepney modernization. Poverty porn daw or paawa effect yung argument against it when the OP literally said on the title he’s for modernization and that the implementation has to be realistic. Tbf, yung analogy na quoted is laughingly bad, but it’s not hard to see the point being made.
Furthermore, a comment saying that arbitrarily copying public transport fixes from other countries and applying it to Metro Manila won’t work is getting downvoted. Pakita daw ng studies na it won’t work, lol. The onus of proof lies on those saying it will work, hindi sa nagsasabi na it won’t. It’s common sense to assume that what works elsewhere won’t work everywhere, although the guy touched partly on why he thinks so.
I did notice that there were a lot more people who mock things as “anti-poor.” There were only specific people who did it before, but it seems to becoming more popular in r/ph.
Yeah it’s weird. Hindi ko alam if nasa 2ph4u ako or r/PH.
For all of r/PH’s annoyances and faults, it’s still the place that shaped much of my present politics and personal outlook. And to see it devolve into that kind of DDS-ish circlejerking makes me wish I wasn’t putting down the 2020-22 posters much, lol.
Despite his allegiance to the NPA, grandenko was one of the more articulate posters on why being pro-poor is good. His absence seems to have allowed the anti-poor people to become more popular.
It’s been a while but I do have vague recollections of the Absalon murder since I was vocally against it, however I don’t recall gradenko “defending” the NPA. He was only stating that it wasn’t in violation of the land mine treaty being that it was a radio detonated IED.
Then again, I’m not privy to all of his posts and he might have sworn support to the NPA or outright defended them that I wasn’t aware of. But from the many posts I’ve read of him (both in Reddit and the SomethingAwful Forums), my take is that he’s mostly your typical left-leaning individual that wouldn’t categorically shun extremists because underneath all the violence and mafioso tactics of the NPA, they have similar ideologies and “turning against” each other would be in the best interests of the capitalists they’re all banding against.
I’ve been here long enough to understand that politics is complicated and a spectrum. I’ve even come to begrudgingly “respect” and comprehend the minds of DDS and Marcos loyalists even though I detest them.
Edit: Restored, was editing it but ended up deleting lol
That’s fair, what I do know though is that he would fit right in at lemmygrad and hexbear.
He actually ignored all of my attempts to join Lemmy so he’s either aware of how it would look like if he joined a community that has a “rep” for being an alleged tankie news aggregation forum or he just doesn’t want to. He’s not the only mod that didn’t move here anyway, lol. The few mods that did either don’t post anymore or do it semi-regularly.

his allegiance to the NPA, grandenko
TIL. Holy shit. Tbh, i enjoyed his comments. Very observant and articulate. Seemed he didn’t let his bias show, now that I know his allegiance.
Is that why he’s not a mod there anymore?
He’s still a mod as far as I know, but became inactive around the time of the reddit blackout. And yeah, he always defended the NPA when he could, even during that time where they used land mines.
Gotcha. I might not be remembering right since it’s been a while since i visited r/philippines.
even during that time where they used land mines.
Damn… Never saw that comment/post but it’s hard af to defend using landmines.
I appreciate the answer.
imagine they catch a serial killer and they figure out the commonality among his victims is that they all played Ranked Solo queue in League of Legends
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!
