This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What worries you most about today’s youth?

[-] FawkesGil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago

Im worried about the kids of today being driven to become terminally online. The opportunities for children to go out and have fun are diminishing because of rising costs and increasing car centric infrastuctures. I feel like this is why more and more children are becoming depressed and isolated

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

ahhh yes the death of third place tbh I can see why baguio is so crowded during the tourist season it is one of the cheapest places to go out relative to Tagaytay and LU

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

us locals are the ones who don't go out, to accommodate the droves of people who come

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Baka mas wala na silang pag-asa.

Mas mahal na ngayon ang bilihin
Mas konti na ang sweldo
Mas magulo na ang buhay ngayon.

the term situationship idk maybe I'm just old fashioned but if you're gonna date multiple partners at once at least be transparent about it with the other parties

[-] apolinariomabussy@lemmy.calvss.com 5 points 10 months ago

pagkaintindi ko sa situationship parang MU ng nakaraan, este non-committal dahil di pa talaga alam kung anong gagawin sa buhay hahaha so di naman siyang bagong bagay feel ko

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

yeah it's probably just me being old fashioned yung pagkakaintindi ko sa MU is high chance na exclusive kayo because you have mutual respect where as situationship I see it as it's either 1:Many or Many:Many

[-] Vicks_inhaler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

It's MU for gen Zs. Im all for dating multiple people for all genders too basta ba naman upfront agad.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

TIL na may term na "situationship".

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Lahat na lang kaaway nila, lol.

Influencers na kesyo magisip daw ng ibang hanap buhay
Filipinx
Mga hindi sumusuporta na gawing subject ang Baybayin
Appropriation kuno kay Whang-Od
Si tita na tinatanong kung may boyfriend ka na ba
Si ninang na kinakantyawan ka na tumataba
Hindi sumusunod sa escalator etiquette
Mga bumibili ng alaga imbes na mag-adopt
Lahat ng nagsisinungaling = gaslighting
Bakit may piyansa, dapat wala
Mga tsuper na kontra sa jeepney modernization kasi maingay ang patok at barumbado mag-drive

Lumaki sila sa panahon ng ragebait eh. Either you do or you dont support a thing kaya maraming galit.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

The funny thing about relatives asking when you're getting married is that it doesn't stop, lol.

Once you get married, they're asking when you'll have a kid. When you do have a kid, they ask kailan nyo susundan. Pag sinundan nyo, kailan naman daw lalaki.

It really is just harmless small talk. It's the only thing you can ask someone you haven't seen in months. It's not like they're asking about your sex life or who's top and bottom.

[-] Vicks_inhaler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah ganyan naman talaga. Eventually, sa mga bata naman maipapasa ang "anong grade mo na? > graduate ka na? > may jowa ka na? > kailan ka magaasawa?"

[-] Vicks_inhaler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Hindi sila marunong mag-google

Kawawa naman mga nanalo sa lotto, baka ipa-subpoena raw to verify that they're real people. Pano naman security nila? Para lang i-appease mga bitter este bettor?

Laugh trip pa sa kabila... hindi daw believable yung 50-51-52 na combination, lmao. I've been betting for a long-ass time, and three straight digits aren't uncommon as you think. Meron pa nga instances na 4 straight, iirc.

Edit: Pero, at the same time, this is why it's good to have senators like Tulfo. No other senator is going to bring up a "poor" question like this sa floor and at such a quick span. Makikita mo nga si Koko pasilip silip dun sa picture nung winner, clearly showing he isn't actually familiar with the viral photo.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Looks like r/PH has been getting posts about my Evangelion uploads. Thanks to those who have been talking about it!

For the uninitiated, the tagalog dub has been considered lost media for decades! Not only did ABS-CBN air it just once and never again but no uploads exist anywhere and no one has stepped forward with recordings. I myself have never watched it and only learned that a tagalized version aired in the late 90s, thanks to an r/PH thread a few years ago. There was no way I could have recorded it even if I was aware of its existence because it conflicted with Gundam, a series that's more popular in the family despite being Eva fans as well.

Fortunately, someone replied to my Gundam Wing post correcting me about the actual air date (of GW) and revealing that he has recordings to prove his claim. The conversation led to him saying he has the Evangelion series (all 26 episodes!) as well as a few other rare anime and he sold it to me.

I don't make any money from the channels, but I think it was well worth it. The wife would probably thump me on the head when she finds out, lmao.

Not only tipping, but we should also stop vilifying people who do not practice CLAYGO in public kasi parehas lang root nyan. Employers don't want to hire more cleaners (or in some cases yung security guard pinagliligpit kahit wala naman extra) and they're relying on you being a fucking crab that will post and shame others who don't fix the table for the next customer.

[-] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Very ironic na si sir 88M pa ang nagpu-push mag-tax ang tao

https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/money/economy/893360/marcos-signs-ease-of-paying-taxes-act-into-law/story/

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Tbf, his alibi for "tax evasion" is that he was under the impression that his staff took care of those. Sure it's good practice to check if your staff is doing their job, but from what we know of BBM (a bum), I wouldn't expect him to do that.

It's also not unheard of to miss filing ITRs out of oversight. My first employer failed to do it for 3 years and I only found out when they couldn't give me my TIN number. It wasn't malicious or anything.

That said, I do like this law because it helps freelancers pay taxes easier by digitizing BIR services. They don't have paid leaves so they don't have the luxury of setting aside a day to do that.

Kumusta yung first week back nyo last week? Between my unplanned covid leave and planned leaves, I was away from work for three weeks. Ang hirap mag-adjust and mag-focus ulit. Not sure if post-covid effect or ako lang talaga.

Also, the first email I read back was the announcement of the Philhealth contribution increase, so that was fun.

Is it true @decadentrebel that you’re UndustFixation on YouTube?

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yes.

But YT's content ID is annoying so I'm more "active" on the FB page counterpart.

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 9 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).

I never thought that this year would bring someone to me that would so drastically change my outlook in life that I feel as if I can be myself after decades of being forced to fit into something I'm not. I've never felt so light, like a massive burden has been taken off my shoulders. These innate connections and natural compatibility, as well as so many other things that I have never felt before in my life. Feelings so intense and overflowing that there seems no end in sight. I can truly be myself around this person and she feels the same way about me too.

This is way better than a dream. I never would have looked for this, or thought it was possible, but here I am. She is real. If there's something greater than true love, this is it. Everything just feels so natural and so free, there are no walls between us and we can just be ourselves, and the other just gets it. Never felt or seen in others such a wonderful feeling before. I once thought love was something else, but now? There's no doubt that this is it. It's definitely her. No doubt at all.

I've always had nagging doubts and limits to myself in my past relationships, but this one, there's none of that. Never have I felt the whole of me react like this to someone before, and neither have I seen others feel this way. She is definitely the one. I've never been more sure about anything in my life.
