Turning this to a monthly random discussion thread. The_Yaya is down and not really in the mood to create daily threads that have 2-5 posts each.

It was painfully obvious that the revolution lasted for like one month, and I'm in the forefront of the butt end of all the jokes.

More BS sa kabila: Tax the freelancers daw.

Pano mo itatax mga freelancers when most of them barely have a stable job/income, heck even a job? Kung meron man, it's below the annual tax threshold. Wala rin silang benefits that regular employees have like life insurance, HMO, 13/14th month pay, bonuses, allowances to cover their electricity/internet/aircon, and so on. And some freelancers actually file their taxes, otherwise they lose out on visa and other perks that require an ITR.

Masama lang loob mo kasi nakakakita ka nagpopost sa social media na freelancer kuno making this and that when they're either lying or not representative of the freelancer industry as a whole.

Ang dapat tina-tax viciously are the top 1%. Wag ka maging mouthpiece para sa mga mayayaman by blabbering yet another solution that creeps on your fellow poor Filipino.

Me: watching pinoy vlogger discussing digital banks

Vlogger: hello mga ka-savings

Me: onga naman, about savings ang topic XD

so kung chess ang topic, tatawagin na "hello mga ka-checkmate" LOL

FFAQ (Filipino Frequently Asked Question) #1: Bakit may pera ka pambili ng kotse pero wala naman parking?

A: Kasi naubos na pera sa pagbili ng kotse na kailangan nila dahil walang pakialam ang gobyerno sa mga commuter. Wala sila parking kasi 2million sinisingil ni DCMI para sa slot, o kaya naman 5k/month ng apartment na inuupahan nila, or worse (like the case when we were still renting), wala talagang parking allotted - problema niyo na daw yan sabi ni landlord.

Of course, hindi natin sinasabi na tama ginagawa nila or kinukunsinte natin. We're just saying na there's a reason behind it and by regurgitating this same old question again and again as well as agreeing with the legislators pitching "No Parking, No Car" bills, you are unwittingly supporting the uncreative and inutile politicos. Isama mo na rin mga wealthy who don't have these problems because they can hoard vehicles to not be inconvenienced by whatever traffic management schemes concocted.

Ang kagandahan ng KDE activities [1], [2], [3], (o parang kwarto [4] ), is, yung pwede kang mag-lagay ng sari-sarili nilang wallpaper, at sariling mong plasma widgets.

1 week na lang December na, all I can feel that's remotely relevant to the Christmas season is the cold air sweeping in from Siberia. I'm not feeling the spirit this year.

POV ng hindi paborito:

Minsan talaga ayoko buksan yung box ng regalo, yung tipong it's the thought that counts na lang. May natanggap akong gift pero di ko bet (di ko style, di bagay sakin). Mas lalo pa kong nabitter kasi mas maganda yung sa iba.

Sorry Lord, forgive my ungrateful heart.

ohnoes u mean my replies here would last a month uhh so let's talk about hoe_math?

If there's one type of post that I'm absolutely sick of at r/ph it's the "Inflation is real" with matching portion size pic in fast food establishments. Yes we get it, prices are getting higher while portion sizes are getting smaller. You don't have to remind us almost every fucking week.

Na-mark as delivered yung parcel ko ng mga 8PM, pero di ko natanggap. May proof of delivery na malabong picture na walang makitang details and halatang hindi on destination and maling package.

Nag-reply yung rider the next day na nahulugan daw siya ng parcels at kasama yung sa'kin. Pwede daw ba bayaran na lang niya? Pumayag naman ako and nagsend ako ng details. Mga 5-7 days daw yung processing.

After 5 days, wala pang update, so nagsabi ako na ipa-process ko na lang officially since ayoko maabutan ng auto-tag as received.

Tumawag yung rider na parang nainis pa sakin. Okay lang naman daw ma-auto receive yung item since babayaran naman daw niya. Sabi ko na gusto ko lang may option ako to process it officially kung di dumating by certain date.

Sinabi sakin, "sige sige, abonohan ko na lang" na parang siya pa yung na-hassle.

Hindi siya dumating by the 7th day and di na ulit nagreply ulit yung rider sa messages.

Nag-process ako officially and na-mark as accepted yung request for refund ko after a couple of hours.

Less than 300 lang yung item, di actually worth it sa sakit ng ulo.

Damn, I really hate the "other side." Imbes na makipag-discuss at mag-expand, sasabihan ka pang dami mong alam, like damn, it's progressively worse just like Facebook (PH). Kung maging crackhead man ako or something, I'm rather bubbling myself here on Lemmy (fediverse).

Dahil tapos na ang MU, tamang uninstall lang ako ng MU app.

Don't have Spotify since I prefer to stream losslessly via Plex. I only have two 2023 albums constantly played, and it's by Maisie Peters and the comeback from In Flames.

Wais ba mga pinoy YouTubers? I'm using LibreTube kasi may Sponsorblock, this is useful feature para ma-skip yun intro/ending credits or paid segments sa video. Pero this will only work kung si YT creator is ni-label nya yun mga segments ng video nya. Akalain mo bang mga Pinoy vloggers walang chapters kaya di effective sponsorblock.
