19 and 16 is legal per law because of the Romeo and Juliet clause. Gusto pa nga nila gawin 13 e, lol.

Personally, I don’t have a problem with that. They’re still technically teenagers with a tinny gap. If it’s 20-16, or 21-16, diyan ka magpuputak sa social media. But until that law is repealed, epal ka lang.

Using the internet in Australia was quite the eye-opener. I thought I was back in 2005 with how slow it was (I believe it was Telstra that my tita was using at their house) and then you get a lot of dead spots with mobile.

Kind of makes you wonder if the ZTE deal wasn’t rife with corruption.

I checked out r/philippinesbad and I actually liked it. While it was designed to whine about r/PH, they at least take the time to disprove why the thread is wrong unlike sa r/2ph4u na iyak at conspiracy theories lang about the moderating. If nagre-reddit pa ako, I probably would have applied there as a dual mod. lol.

And about Australia, hindi ako nakatira dun but most of my relatives are and nakapunta na ako dun. Kahit bayaran mo pa ako 1 million to live there, I won’t. Ang mahal mahal ng basic necessities, mami-miss mo yung 200 pesos na gupit or 500 para ayusin ng karpintero mga issue sa bahay. The weather sucks lalo na pag Christmas na daig pa summer natin dito sa init. Yung internet diyos ko po, minimonopolize ng dalawang carrier (Optus and Telstra) na nagpapaligsahan sa bagal at hina ng signal. And to think proud na proud tayo na Telstra was supposedly going here, lol. May racism to the point na yung car ng pinsan ko vinandalize with slurs while parked outside on a party. Ang aga magsara ng mga shops. Food is expensive. Insulin is expensive. Lahat expensive, haha. Yes, malaki sweldo but that’s to cover the high cost of living. Pag nagsisimula ka pa lang dun, kawawa ka.

But may mga okay din naman about the country. I’m just saying that it’s not all hunky dory as most people make it out to be. I’m not going to a different country just to start over and slowly make my way to the top. If that’s you, then good for you and I wish you all the luck. But I’m fine here being able to enjoy life even if it’s not exactly something you could brag about.

2016 ata kami nagpakabit ng fiber from Converge for 1500 na 150mbps ata. That’s more than enough for most use cases and relatively cheap. Fast forward a couple of years later and pati yung ibang telco may fiber na mura na rin at mas mabilis. Kaya di ko gets why they’re hyping Starlink unless nasa Benguet ka, lol. Or these complaints about our internet speed. Yes, if ikaw si Juan Cruz sa Purok 2 it’s out of your budget - but so is 90% of everything. But generally speaking, our internet isn’t the shitshow as it was from 2005.

I used to put some r/PH guys in their place whenever they’d mention na “OnLy In ThE PeLePeNs”. Like sa atin lang daw may nag-iiwan ng pinagkainan sa restos sa ibang bansa CAYGO (not completely true, sa Australia at San Diego napapagalitan pa nga ako kasi mawawalan daw sila trabaho if I do it). Or tayo lang daw nagra-rate ng mga Shopee sellers ng 1 for being slow with their delivery (dami kaya ganun sa Amazon and other shopping sites). Pati mga lubak at terrible road conditions common din sa mga first world countries.

Pero nakakasawa na rin mag-correct kasi next week may bago na naman thread about it wherein the same gripes are mentioned again and upvoted.

Sabi ko nga sa random daily thread, nagpapasalamat pa rin ako kasi our country doesn’t have school shootings, walang spree killings, walang mga cartel or drug-related violence (mga pulis pa mismo pasimuno ng mga kaguluhan dyan), maganda yung familial ties natin (for the most part), medical care isn’t eye-gougingly expensive, abot kaya ang cost of living, internet is relatively fast and affordable, our weather is just right, madaming paid holidays at pinapayagan mag-suspend kasi mainit, I could go on and on.

Parang Los Zetas lang ah, lol.

I mean sure, annoying yung mga nagco-comment ng ganyan… but these are fossils with antiquated mindsets. Hindi na kasi dapat pinapatulan mga ganyan. Their insights are as valuable as the lowest troll.

The sad thing is, gagamitin na naman fuel yan ng mga antinatalist/child-free gen Zs with their just as idiotic and pompously tone-deaf takes.

It used to be longer and included details about PayPal flagging the Hurricane Katrina donations, references in pop culture media pertaining to him, and about the forums requiring a $10 signup fee.

Now it’s short enough that it makes you wonder if a Wiki page is even necessary.

iirc Francisco Motors yung nagsabi na gagawa raw sila ng EV na jeeps but sell it at what it’s actually worth instead of the 3m price that the co-ops are foisting.

Edit: Yup, sila nga.

Local manufacturer offers e-jeepney for less than P1-M
