The new COVID variant appears to be worse than advertised. Keep wearing masks and stay safe, everyone.

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

What makes it worse is some people's response to it. An alarming number of people have not only stopped caring, but also have started to think that it's all manufactured hysteria by big pharma.

That said, I never stopped wearing face masks when outside of my house. Mas maganda itsura ko pag naka-mask eh! HAHAHAHA!

[-] malamignasanmig@group.lt 5 points 1 year ago

same here. nakakapogi/nakakaganda ang pagmamask. dagdagan mo pa ng sunglasses kapag maaraw sa labas.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

ngl, when I grew out my hair during the pandemic, I felt like Karasu.

[-] megane_kun@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Tapos pag mejo malamig naman ang simoy hangin, leather jacket at hoodie. HAHAHAHAHA! /jk

But yeah, I heard it's something to do with how people fill in the blanks with what they think looks decent/good. End result is that mas maganda ang tigin overall.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This is the correct takeaway, haha.

[-] asunaspersonalasst@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for reminding me that I have to order a few more boxes of facemasks..

Pa share naman ng source.

Scientists race to understand highly mutated coronavirus variant spotted in four countries, including the US

[-] tahann@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Iba pa pala yung bago sa EG.5, na pinapanood ko kanina sa YouTube, although walang pang masyadong info about dito sa BA.2.86.

Nagtatanong ako ng source about Covid kasi parang di na sya masyadong nababalita ngayon. Medyo traumatic yung covid experience ko so I try to be in the know as much as possible. Ang source ko na lang na medyo active pa magpost about Covid ay yung Medcram sa YouTube.

Yung iba, kung may ibang sources na updated sa covid, pde pa share din? 😉 TIA

Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What infamous movie plot hole has an explanation that you're tired of explaining?

[-] ako946659661@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not really a movie, pero the anime series, No game no life. Kapag nalalaman ng weeb friends ko na binasa ko ung novel, eto yung madalas na tinatanong.

Q: Baket parang mag-jowa si Shiro at Sora? Hindi ba magkapatid sila? ::: spoiler Hindi sila related by blood, step siblings sila. Not that it makes it any better. lol :::

Isipin mo yun, Tiger! Tawang tawa ako nung nakita yan sa fb

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hindi ko alam kung algorithm lang o blindly nirecommend sa akin, haha.

Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring Philippine top charts section sa YouTube Music. For some reason, naka-default sa Indian top charts ang homepage sa tatlong YouTube account ko.

Hello, lemmy test ulet..

Chinese carmaker is planning to invest in car manufacturing in Germany. High wages is not an issue for them.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Interesting, given that German manufacturers have long outsourced production to India and China yet they're doing the opposite.

I struggle to play YT live streams on Firefox as compared to Chromium-based browsers. Fucking Google sabotaging the remaining browser engine competition.

[-] willnever_fadeaway@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Hello world! I'm looking forward to enjoying my weekend. I hope I can, I really need some time off everything.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ganda scores ng Baldur's Gate 3 ah. Hindi nga lang ako fan ng D&D, lol.

[-] yasssnomaybe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Deleted my Telegram account a few days ago and medj nakaka-feel ako ng regret na hindi ko hinintay 'yung replies ng friends ko after messaging them na ganon na nga gagawin ko. Pero kasi... 'Yung isa almost 2 months na atang hindi nagpaparamdam. 'Yung isa naman, I recently found out na nagc-cheat pala sa partner niya na sabi niya ex niya na. Naging oks na friends naman sila but para saan pa 'yung effort na gagawin ko kung ganon lang din naman? Haha

I honestly feel bad kasi parang ang bilis ko sila bitawan. Pero pa'no 'yun e parang ako naman unang iniwan nung isa tapos 'di ko kaya i-tolerate ginagawa nung isa pa?

This an update to my computer woes that I made in previous RDs latest of which is linked here.

The broken monitor I've been struggling with then has finally died a day after I made the update to that comment. I felt compelled to buy a replacement one or risk losing more work time to troubleshooting. Goodbye 6.5kPhP. I finally managed to install it just earlier. However, there's something very slightly wrong with it.

a desktop two monitors, left one being larger than the right one

I bought a larger monitor than the one it replaced. And worse, I only noticed what was wrong after I installed it.

Just found out that being a mod in any sub lifts the NSFW restriction to the reddit API for that user.

Despite the formulaic techniques ng pelikulang Deleter, happy ending naman sya for me. By happy ending, I mean naparusahan yung sa tingin ko dapat maparusahan or may prize yung dapat ireward.

Medyo dinelay ko sya panoorin dahil inexpect ko na mabigat sya emotionally. Dahil sa jumpscare at lighting cliches na ginamit, naging mas madaling sa akin makaescape sa manipulation, basta self-aware sa technique.

Personally, I don't think it's a good movie about mental health issues since it didn't made me sympathize sa main character na may mental health issue. Siguro dun kulang. Weird kasi na dun lang sa dulo sinabi na fear at self-preservation yung motivation nya to shut up. At sinabi talaga ha. Show, don't tell nga, di ba? Yung ibang mga naunang scenes mukha namang kaya nya tablahin boss nya.
