I still wear a mask to protect myself and other people, even if I hate them. Public health is more important than the inconvenience of wearing a mask.

Seeing dogs, especially puppies, makes me happy.

LGBT+ rights are human rights. We are all people

BINI members Maloi from Batangas and Aiah from Cebu challenge each other to guess the meaning of common phrases in their native languages Tagalog (Batangueño dialect) and Cebuano.

Fun to watch and educational.

They should all be labeled digital consent offenders.

BTS exhibit comes to Gateway Mall, Quezon City starting May 17.

"Having captivated audiences in Malaysia, Japan, and Thailand, the B★VERSE exhibit now makes its way to the Philippines — thanks to a collaboration with The Fact Music Awards (TMA), YiZ Entertainment, and Araneta City."

We don't need another app to install.

When Grab PH bought motorcycle taxi app Move It, I thought I would become a 1st-time customer of that service. I use Grab, so it already has my info. I wouldn't need to sign up and type all my details. How convenient.

But Move It wasn't integrated into the Grab app. Instead, I would have to download a new app.

Bummer. One fewer customer for the company.

Vice Ganda’s entry, captioned "Lagi kitang pipiliin, Pilipinas," that has got the internet abuzz, has gained 4 million views in just 16 hours since posting Saturday night.

One scene takes Vice "to the disputed West Philippine Sea, where she takes on a Chinese vessel's water cannon—a reference to China’s recent worrisome incursions."

The U.S. displaces China as Germany's biggest trading partner. Germany had been urging German companies to decouple from China.

"Combined exports and imports between Germany and the U.S. totaled 63 billion euros ($68 billion) between January and March of 2024, while trade with China came to just below 60 billion euros."

In the PH, the hit song "Pantropiko" was the first song composed by Angelika Sam Ortiz, a film major. Already with 45M streams on Spotify and 16M views on YouTube, the summer-themed song has made PH girl group BINI the most popular P-Pop group in the country, even more popular than SB19 and BGYO.

Another unique(?) trope in land is this:

When a character is about to reveal something important, like their true identity, they will be interrupted with either:

  1. An emergency.
  2. They're summoned by someone higher.

^_^;;

You eventually get used to it, and expect it is going to happen.

In romcom K-dramas, the couple is often portrayed as having met during their childhood. It feels so forced to me

All of a sudden the internet slowed down... but only on my laptop (and the tv). I checked the internet speed test on my phone and it's plenty fast. But on my laptop it's super slow. I tried changing DNS , but the speed is not improving. I disabled all bandwidth-hogging tasks via Task Manager, and it's still not improving. I wonder what could be the reason. A friend is blaming it on the geomagnetic storm.

InDrive to launch in Metro Manila this month. I hope it can compete with Grab, which has a monopoly of the 4-wheel ride hailing market in the PH.

Meanwhile, the PBA (PH pro men's basketball league) struggles to fill stadiums.

PH tells China to leave Panatag Shoal, also known as Scarborough Shoal, which is a high-tide elevation located just over 120 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales. According to international law, the shoal is within the PH's exclusive economic zone (220 nautical miles).

Why would I pay for Windows 11 with AI crap I don't want when Linux is free?

Clearly, Microsoft has not thought this through.

jikodesu, to Economics
@jikodesu@mastodon.social avatar

How can economics be a field of science? All sciences are based on the Earth’s (or universe's) natural laws.

How can unlimited economic growth on a finite planet be possible?

Why doesn't wealth accummulated (stolen) by a few rich individuals trickle down to the poor?

Economics is not based on reality, so why is it called a field of science?

To my fellow tooters who are also , did you ever stop fearing ghosts? 🤣 I'm one month in and I still can't sleep properly unless music is playing to fill the silence lol

@jikodesu@mastodon.social avatar

@teacherbuknoy We had the wake of my dead uncle in my grandma’s house. So many people and relatives came one night that all the rooms were full and I had nowhere to sleep, so I slept in my dead uncle's room, alone. I woke up the next morning without seeing his ghost. Sometimes, you just need to face your fears.

Guys, hell is not suffering record-breaking temperatures. Hell is having governments and wealthy people pour billions into greenhouse gases through oil, coal and gas and funding energy-intensive cryptomining and AI. Worse is having people who deny there's a climate crisis.

High temperatures is only one symptom of a much bigger problem
