Ilang kembot na lang pala first anniversary na ng blackout. Congratulations sa 15 users (according sa stats) na tumindig, lmao.

Puspin fold

Found a pusakal with folded ears, a Puspin fold. Haha. May he continue to evade the authorities. Aggressive manghuli ng pusa yung baranggay where he lives :(

This month’s Ask PHlemmy: If you could wake up tomorrow and be an expert in one skill you currently lack, which skill would you choose and for what reason?

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Woodworking. Would be nice to be able to create drawers, playhouses, desks, and other crafts on my own.

[-] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Athlete, pwede ba lahat ng sports? lol

EDIT: cooking na lang

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

mechanical engineering to be able create all sorts of convoluted mechanisms

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

After much consideration over the past month, I think carpentry is a skill I'd like to be an expert at. So many opportunities pragmatically and personal projects to fulfill

[-] CaJoasca_Baloon@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I think as of right now, it's drawing. Because, I currently don't have many plans to practice drawing, even though I want to, because I also have other skills I want to master, I just think this one is the most beneficial, since I also like writing, it helps the creative process tremendously.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Drawing ata is more on talent. You can learn the skills but iba pa rin yung may ingrained ka na creative talent. Otherwise, magiging ka lang just like 70% of the saturated market na puros chibi art/weeb/watercolor tracing ginagawa.

But if you just want to draw and not make it a livelihood, okay lang naman and I get what you're saying. I sure as shit could use those skills to make simple illustrations.

[-] CaJoasca_Baloon@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Good point, creativity is what matters there.. yeah, I could use the skill but having the talent would be harder, and even if I had time to practice, who's to say that I easily get distracted by other things and be left without time, since from my experience, it takes a lot of time and writing text is easier. Eh, kahit na, di naman ako artist hehe..

[-] starscar12@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

So what's up everyone? Buhay pa kayo?

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Very much alive, kasi di active mga snowflake mods dito tulad nina @choco_mallows at @sarcasticookie

[-] CaJoasca_Baloon@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago

Buhay pa, siguro?

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Kabadtrip mga nangunguha ng uploads and don't have the common decency to give credit.

Gusto pa maging wise-ass and tell me that ABS/GMA/RPN owns that video as if that's the bone of contention. I never claimed to be the owner, kaya nga I abhor CTTO e. The question is may mapapanood ka ba kung walang nag-record 30 years ago, took care of the tape, spent hours cleaning, digitizing, and converting said footage? Wala, di ba? So stop pretending that you can just waltz in on those channels and get that footage. Antayin mo sa 2029 ipalabas sa Buko yan, bugok.

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Adjacent to that issue, does this mean the end of your youtube channel? https://youtube.com/watch?v=NJoH2JHTF2g

Ngayon ko lang ulit nabisitahan sa YT channel. Then pagtingin ko sa FB, active updates pa rin doon 😁

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yup, I stopped uploading na sa YT. Kakatamad mag-update ng multiple channels. FB has the most potential for engagement - mas maraming nagco-comment and nagshe-share ng wisdom about the upload. It also has comparatively tolerable copyright restrictions.

I did, however, post sa UndustSessions yung Zesto ad the other day knowing a lot of people are going to upload it from FB. Just like what happened with my Rivermaya video.

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Owww I see, I didn't know you had a 2nd yt channel

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

It was intended for narrative videos pero tinamad na ako, lol.

[-] heyfrancis@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Musta ang Marso mga ka-lemmy? Sa mga gotymers jan, 4% na lang interest. Pero not surprised sa move.

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

i struggle to understand the reason kung bakit tinayo ang gotyme bank tbh

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I normally stick up for Robin when people make dumb statements about him (e.g. "WaLa NaMaN gInAgAwA yAn!") but his unabashed defense of Quiboloy just takes the cake. Kung naniniwala ka na inosente siya, then why are you blocking the subpoena? Kaya nga siya pinapapunta sa senado to explain his side.

Tapos "hero" daw kasi si Quiboloy. Yes, so was Jim Jones, Bill Cosby, Harry Roque, Jimmy Savile, OJ Simpson, Chris Benoit, the list goes on. Whatever good they did will never outweigh their depravity.

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Kainis yung nang-video ng daga sa NAIA. Pano daw kung nakita ng foreigner? Who gives a flying fuck what they think? As if naman hindi na sila pupunta ng Pinas pag nakakita sila daga, lol. It's also one rat in like forever and on our best terminal at that. It's not like it's a common occurence. Hambalusin kita ng Taylor Swift poster tube mo e.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

This is semi-correct. I still browse Reddit but I use the same account. I don't see the point of using another considering I don't post anyway and I admitted many times that I still go there, although admittedly posting IS tempting specifically if there's an interesting topic.

On that note, I only had one alternick ever in r/PH and that was filipin0truther. It was a gimmick account intended to confuse people because he would act like the typical "filipinotruther" but also contradict himself by posting Rappler sources and other random threads. Babaw lang ng kaligayahan ko laughing at the reactions ("Truther is a double agent???", "So okay lang ang Rappler kung pabor sa argument mo?") Hahahaha.

[-] cottonmon@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It was a gimmick account intended to confuse people

Eh, Poe's law is in effect. truther would absolutely use Rappler as a source if it helped his narrative. He also contradicted himself several times by not actually reading the article he was posting to attack Robredo or anyone associated with the opposition. So your satire may have actually been too accurate. truther is a dumbass and has no integrity after all.

EDIT: On another note, I just found out na mod na pala siya ng r/philippinesbad na subreddit. This is just more reason to dismiss that subreddit as nationalistic nonsense.

[-] pobautista@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I'd say r/philippinesbad has legitimate gripes, but I agree the truther's recent inclusion to the mod team is questionable

[-] theJWPHTER88@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Hayyy... Marso na naman, at nagsisimula na naman ang kaalingsangan rito...

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Kaya usong uso mga kabitan at sampalan sa primetime kasi that's what people want to see. And by people, I mean the masa. Yan yung katulong na kinakaliwa pala ni mister while she's out there busting her ass. Yan yung sari-sari store/carinderia owner na nagfa-fantasize sa construction worker na araw araw kumakain/bumibili ng softdrinks sa tindahan nila. Yung mga tao na nagse-settle pa rin ng differences nila by means of throwing plates at sinasabunutan yung kabit pag nakita. Yung housewife na taga-saing, taga-laba, taga-luto na may internal turmoil.

Sa kanila naka-toka ang mga advertisers with their laundry detergents, ginisa mixes, infant formulas, at mga piniprito na processed/preserved foods.

Ika nga ni Michael Steintorf sa The Wire: "Kids don't vote".

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

anybody here play hell divers 2?

[-] atomchoco@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Wait, totoo ba na mga Quiboloy scholars yung mga bata sa mall na nagbebenta ng overpriced ballpens at otap? Or fake news na naman para sa mga matapobre to pat themselves on the back for not giving?

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Pupunta ng Pinas si Olivia Rodrigo??? Waah kilig

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Kahit hindi kasalanan ng nakapatay (kesyo self-defense pa yan or negligence ng victim), the de facto ruling is almost always to charge who killed them kasi dead is dead. Kaya nga tayo may courts e, to prove definitively kung sino culpable.

Pwede rin kasi na yung SUV tumatakbo above 60 or nakita niya yung rider ahead and had time to avoid him pero sinadya pa rin banggain to teach the rider a lesson knowing he's in the right. I'm not saying that's what happened but this is exactly what due process means.

Inuuna nyo ulit kasi emosyon at inaaway na naman yung constitution at rule of law.

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

don't you just hate the last stretch of the week before the long weekend it's really fucking with my mental rn

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Nabuhay na naman foreigner mods accusation sa r/PH 🤣

For the record, isa lang "foreigner" sa moderators — the founder, on account that he's Caucasian. But I'm not even sure if he still counts as a "foreigner" in the sense that I don't consider Sandara or Alex Compton as one. He's been living here for decades. He doesn't even interfere on mod affairs, contrary to claims na he's some power-hungry despot.

May isa or dalawa siguro na full blooded Pinoy na nasa ibang bansa na ngayon, but if you think they're not eligible to moderate the sub, I'm going to kick your xenophobe balls/cunt with barbed-wire-wrapped Steel Toe combat boots.

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

The simple answer is kung ayaw mo magbigay, then don't. The only people bothered by this are those seeking validation. The obvious reason for not giving is that what you have is just enough for you. Either way, it's nobody's business.

Wag mo tularan yung kailangan pa ipagsigawan sa mundo kung bakit ayaw nila magbigay. Kesyo sindikato daw o bigla na lang mag-iinvoke ng dura lex sed lex (bawal daw kasi sa batas) when it's convenient for them, lol. As if the rules prevented them from doing anything illegal in their lives.

On another note, wag natin mamasamain yung mga tumatanggi ng pagkain. Beggars have fucked-up bodies. Yung digestive system nila is bad so anything na deviation sa nakasanayan na nila leads to all sorts of problems. Hindi rin nila kayang nguyain pandesal or most hard food due to their bad teeth.

Awra -> Bumberong pinagsasaksak daw -> Killua

Ano kaya sunod? ROTFLMAO

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

As much as I hate Cayetano, I'm going to die on a hill and insist that the kaldero price was justified if you look at the breakdown of costs. I remember na sabi pa ng iba na 2k/day sa mga welders was overpriced, which goes to show how closet capitalists mga pinoy underneath all that veneer of wokeness.

The logo is fucked pero having worked in web design decades ago, I learned first hand that you are ultimately at the mercy of your clients lalo na kung mga matatanda (whom I mostly worked with). If they think a bunch of circles is awesome, then wala ka magagawa.

[-] k5nn@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

well they do say that the customer is always right in matters of taste

[-] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What happened to Killua was tragic. But as always the anger of the internets is misplaced bordering on elitist.

Mabait daw mga Golden Retriever and na-misinterpret nila yung pagiging playful ng dog to be aggression. You expect some rando in the province to be familiar with purebreds and their traits?? Not to mention that there are cases of GRs killing people or viciously attacking other dogs. I've personally seen ours do it, and it's frightening.

Instead, reality is much simpler. May higanteng aso na nandadamba at ang ligalig. Nangagat pa nga raw. It's not far-fetched for them to assume na it's a rabid dog that's a danger to people. Hahabulin talaga yan ng taong bayan at papatayin without waiting for the authorities (tanod daw yung pumatay which is the closest thing to an authority figure in that situation). Porcupine nga pauulanan ng quills or pusa mangangalmot kahit gano pa kabait intention ng aso e, tao pa kaya na walang idea.

In all cases na napapatay aso na may breed, lagi na lang yung pobreng magbabakal o si manong sabungero may kasalanan. Hindi yung may-ari na nagkulang sa pag-ensure na fenced in yung alaga nila. Sure it's not good to kick people when they're down, but it's the harsh truth.

Mayron pa bang nag-aaral? Hows life?

Magaling pala itong si Leylah Fernandez. Usually when Filipinos hype "one of their own" it's fueled by pinoy pride dick-riding, but she's really really good. Not sure lang ano sya sa rankings or if she won any grand slams... but purely on eye-test, it's top-tier modern day tennis. Masarap panoorin regardless what her lineage is.

Edit: Siya pala yung hina-hype na kalaban ni Raducanu sa Wimbledon Finals a few years ago. Raducanu has struggled since then (no. 288!) while Fernandez is currently 35th.
