Filipinos often have this idea that we suck at everything.

For example, when they see bad infrastructure design or mismanaged infra, they go: "OnLy In Da PeLePens". Except that awful infra is present everywhere else.

Here's one of an escalator in Georgia:

When they see litter, they say the exact same thing. Except that other countries litter too. In fact, here's one I found in Japan last week that was left by teenagers. When I got back the next morning it was still there. Why? Japan supposedly has subpar trash collection that's largely dependent on citizens bringing their trash home.

So, in this thread: Post anything you find that debunks this mindset.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

All-Star brought attention to Mystery Men, which is a criminally underrated movie. So, that's another reason to like that song.

Does Lemmy count as social media?? lol

So, is the official term for AMAs on Lemmy "Ask Us Anything" (AUA)? Or shall we call it "Lemmy Ask U"?

I'm honestly not surprised. It's one of those rare movies that has mass appeal (which guarantees it at least half a billion) and also a surprisingly good story that had critics and audiences raving about it.

I was only forced to watch it because I didn't want to wait in the mall that long for Oppenheimer to start while the wife finishes Barbie. I haven't been more satisfied and entertained by a blind watch since... Burning.

Exactly. I hate Reddit more than most people here (I'm a mod on a sub that has more than a million subscribers and felt disrespected by spez), but the fact of the matter is they're the gold standard of quality answers and discussions.

I would want Lemmy to get to that level, not immediately, but that's the dream.

I'm one of the many who deactivated not too long after it launched. My dashboard was just being filled with so many users (mostly celebrities and influencers) who I don't recall ever following or even being on my sphere of interest. It doesn't help that their posts are inorganic attempts to spur engagement.

VPN. I bought it during the pandemic not for privacy or government spy conspiracy shit, but because it was on "sale" (something like $40 for 38 months or something) and I wanted to try out if skirting geoblock was worth it. It's now probably one of the most-used tech we have in the house. Great for running Max obviously but also for work.

I forgot Evernote existed. Time to back up my notes from 2014.

Ding ding, we have a winner.

Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.
