AT LAST, Natuklasan ko na!

@decadentrebel

update, i found the random discussion thread, can you pin this, please?

Magandang araw / Buongiorno / Maimbag nga aldaw / Bonjorn [1] / Bonjour / Buen dia /!

Sa wikang occitan, "magandang araw"

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That makes sense. Although it would have been a lot easier had I not tagged the_yaya as a bot because technically she isn't anymore (due to some API fuckery).

~~Paki-link mo man ang post na nai-link ko s'aking comment para matulungan yung hindi nila maka-access sa MRD thread sapagkat hindi naka-tsek ang "show bot account"?~~

Edit, already pinned na, hindi mo na kailangang mag-risponde s'aking comento

Filipinos: Tama lang yan modernization! Kawawa naman environment. Gawa gawa lang kayo rason mga tsuper.

Also Filipinos after hearing the 40 peso fare: Ano ba yan, pano naman kaming mga commuter??

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

40 peso fare?

Hindi ko gets mga nagpopost na 25 cents lang yung ganito nung 80s, 25 pesos lang 1pc chicken, et. al.

50 cents in 1990 is almost 3 pesos now while 25 pesos is around 143 today, so tama lang yun.

i think it's more like tinatali nila to numerical value ng isang bagay rather than market value

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Kabwisit talaga astroturfing ng Jollibee. May 73 year old na empleyado kuno.

idk i don't feel like seniors should even be working like yun na yung twilight yrs mo and you're still working pero then again the pension system is so fucked na di nmn sapat yung binibigay

As someone who has rode an e-jeep many times when I was still commuting, I just want to clear some of the misinformation:

Jeepney drivers NEED boundary not just because they only make money when they hit the quantifiers, it's so they could make more. It's even more imperative that they do once the modernization happens so they could pay for the loan.

I don't get what OP meant na dapat hindi payagan ng mga pasahero yung ganyan sistema. What does he want us to do, boycott jeeps? Lmao.

Tell me you don't ride a jeep without telling me you don't ride a jeep, lol.

Kung regular ka sa jeep pag umuulan, you would know na may cellophane na trapal yung jeep na pwede ibaba once umulan. It's virtually impossible to get wet once that's in place.

The downside is pag tumila na ulan, ang init sa loob. That's the same problem you have with an e-jeep except it's 100% of the time. Nakasara bintana kasi may aircon pero yung aircon naman mahina so para kang naka-sauna. It's literally the reason why I quit working in the office!

I've revisited the first fanfiction I ever posted on a website and it sure is cringy af hahaha.

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

it always is... high school cringe fests

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You know, this puts those many posts asking for donations for dogs/cats into perspective. Nung isang araw duda ako dun sa pusa na nasagasaan yung lower jaw and basag yet the clinic was able to restore it back. Feel ko it's a different cat and the original actually didn't make it.

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

some of it is legit but indeed others can be sus af

Anyone else know about the PhilippinesBad subreddit?

Self-hating your own nationality, countrymen, culture is not a good thing.

Dami na naman hater dun sa role ni Liza sa Lisa Frankenstein, lol.

Bakit hindi na lang daw sina Kathryn Bernardo. Hindi lang naman acting basehan to penetrate Hollywood, you need to have the "look", and Nadine and those guys don't.

What about Dolly? Tell me you didn't watch Triangle of Sadness without telling me you didn't watch Triangle of Sadness, lmao. Yung role niya kaya dun katulong sa ship.

Extra lang? No one knows that yet. Even if she did, everyone starts small. Some even break out from small roles.

Pinoy pride? Hindi mo naman maiiwasan mga ganun comments sa video. A pinoy making it to mainstream is going to attract those reactions. That's just how it works.

I seriously can't see why we shouldn't be happy one of our own made it to a Diablo Cody film and she's not playing a stereotypical Filipino role. She's actually an equal! Mas ok na yan kaysa yung pilit na NJPW aswang costume ni TJ Perkins who's like a right wing nut with creepy female wrestler fanfics, ugh.

[-] atomchoco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Lakas ng tawa ko dun sa E-bike training seminar skit ni Michael V sa Bubble Gang, lmao.

Highblood na nga ako sa mga tricyle driver, dumagdag pa tong mga e-bikers na to.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Recently lang ako naka-encounter ng e-bikers (didn't know that's what they're called) and they really need to be regulated. They don't wear helmets, hindi nila tinatabi even if they sense a convoy of vehicles piling up on their six, they don't make hand gestures when turning, and they often end up on busy roads.

On a related note, dapat may coding na rin mga motorcycles. In theory wala kasi they're small enough to fit into anything, but in reality that isn't the case. There's so many of them parang kotse na rin sila with the space they take up. Heck, the riders themselves would be the first to tell you that they don't have any glaring advantages against traffic anymore.

Hi @decandentrebel ginamit ko 6-year old post mo sa reddit for reference para mag inquire ng CCTV sa Dynaquest. Sadly pangit ang experience ko nung kinausap ang taga Mandaluyong (Kalentong) branch.

Would you still advise me checking with another branch? Baka mas smooth? Or maybe another store altogether?

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Can't speak for their CCTV expertise because I think that's a different animal from assembling PCs, lol. I don't even go to DynaQuest anymore when PC building, I just buy from the cheapest (but reliable) Shopee stores + FB/Carousell sellers and put my own together.

That said, try Eton Cyberpod? That's the branch I've been to the most back then.

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I’ll give Eton a shot, thanks!

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's a good point, but easier said than done with increasingly elaborate salisi methods. Itong ketchup modus nga lang is amateur hour. You can just ignore them when you realize na it's just a rehash of the "dura" tactic. Yung matindi talaga yung nambabangga kasi mangyayari talaga yun and 99% of the time hindi sya modus.
Madali nga makita bulsa o bag mo na nakasukbit sa harap e pero madami pa rin nadadale.
Now this is just stupid. Ang mga ninanakaw sayo kadalasan are smartphones or your wallet, and hindi mo pwede iwan yun.
