Maybe… Because the government can’t provide an efficient and adequate public transportation system.

Because the govt don’t want to ruin the illusion of the middle class achieving individual progress by having a car. You don’t want the middle class angry.

Because the govt don’t want to fight car and petroleum industries who will benefit from the higher sales of cars.

Because such a rule is clearly anti-poor. It’s the same reason why number coding is a bunch of BS. Those who can afford extra cars would just buy more cars. The guy who barely could pay his Wigo are the only ones truly affected.

Speaking from experience, the apartment we used to stay at didn’t provide any parking spaces, so tenants had nowhere to park their cars but in the streets. Potential landlords should be required to provide a lot (or build one on their own land via basement) before being allowed to rent out spaces. But nope, elevator nga lang na dapat you should have when building a structure with 3 or more floors nakakalusot sa building inspection.

Sis ang dumi I felt the depression at yung decline of mental health na joke joke niya lang. It was concerning.

Some people do be like that, laughing because the alternative is crying oneself to death via dehydration. Also, sometimes, one’s just too tired of everything to even love oneself (enough to take care of oneself).

I’m glad that people like you are around her to give her the necessary nudge where needed.

What the, it’s literally old reddit hahaha. Can we get RES to work on this? Edit: LES!

Worry ko lang ng konti nung nakita ko to kanina is baka ma copystrike ang lemmy. Tignan lang natin kung gawin yun ng despaeradong bitch ass Huffboi. 🤡

Fuck Spez.

Inadopt na pala ng LW officially yung mlmym.

Sana yung future installments may Naut theme. Not all of us old.reddit users can tolerate 2008 old.reddit, lol.

Edit: For those who aren’t part of the LW instance, just use the og mlmym link.

instant noodles and tuyo, yum yum

Eggs, tuyo, instant noodles. If not that lazy, beans.

When outside in Baguio, meron pa yung karinderya sa Porta with 55 peso budget meal na 2 rice, 2 meat, and sabaw.

simpleng itlog na kahit anong luto

Rice mixed in a bit of soy sauce especially pag may halong calamansi. Unhealthy pero it lowkey slaps for me

Kamatis. Kamatis lang masaya na ko

Peanut butter sandwich. I can live (and have lived) off of it for a few days. That and liver spread sandwich.

During the height of the pandemic, I learned about peanut butter on instant noodles and I found it amazing. Also instant noodles on bread.

I do earn enough for proper meals, but at times I get too lazy to prepare (i.e. buy) food and the unbalanced/unhealthy “meal options” above are just very convenient.

Instant Yakisoba. I just ate one yesterday, as a matter of fact.

Unripe (but not too unripe) saba bananas dipped in fish bagoong.

Also, lugaw/arroz caldo/goto with nothing in it but rice. I’ve even made an imitation version of it via (instant) oatmeal, instant noodle seasoning, guinisa mix, and some grated (chicken) bouillon cubes.

Nudels, tuyong isda o pritong isda d best

Tortang talong? Poverty meal pa ba yun? Kasi minsan mahal ng talong o itlog.

Inuulam yung mang juan/martys sa kanin

Anong field of study mo? Kailangan din ba ISI journal? Pwede ka rin magsubmit sa mga low-impact factor journals para mas madali na matanggap ang submission mo.

Kaya siguro wala pa masyadong nalipat dito sa Lemmyverse dahil sa ganyang conjecture, nu?

That makes sense. I never thought about that, haha.

But at the same time, marketing it as “decentralized” or the concept of “federation” isn’t going to win over the average internet user. They just want something that’s easy to use with a decent UI/UX.

Same with crypto. Crypto = easy quick buck na walang gagawin.

Inb4 may magreklamo na naman na kaya nga nag fediverse para maiwasan ang cringe ibang socmed skskskks

Ikaw yung threat sa cyber security, ano ba? Go, go, go!

Yup, may mga sites talaga na sablay sa thumbnails (ABS-CBN News is another). Kahit sa Raddle blank din sila, not just with Lemmy. Weird thing is, Philstar Life works okay naman.

Kaya iniiwasan ko mag-source ng news sa mga sites mentioned. I stick to GMA, Rappler, Manila Standard, Manila Times, and One News when posting threads.

Daming nabudol dun sa BPI MySave sa GCash na akala ng karamihan walang maintaining balance. Agree nang agree kasi. Haha

May pa “phy-gital” pa silang pinopromote, palagi naman down ang CAMs nila, tapos palaging ubos laman ng ATMs nila, at magwiwithdraw man lang min. of ₱500 lang pwede.

Mas maganda pa sa thrift bank na may subsidy/arm ng malaking commercial bank, like China Bank Savings. Mas tahimik, mas accomodating, di sayang sa oras unless siguro may magdedeposit/withdraw nang malakihan. CBS’ app is functional enough for basics. I closed my BPI a few months ago.

Sorry sa mga edit. Tinetest ko lang si lemm.ee

On a related note since apparently lemmmy.ee ang ginagamit ng iba dito, I read that the owner of the .ee instance is an Estonian citizen and won’t be experiencing the same issue.

What do you want to know? Why r/PH doesn’t have one? The mods just don’t want to promote it kasi it’s clearly a diversion. Once every 4 years or so every April lang yun, tapos bigla nila binalik after a year? The timing is transparent. People are free to put up flags if they want, though. Mods just aren’t going to endorse or organize.

From what I’ve seen yesterday, any attempts to put up flags (usually tinny ones) get quashed easily kasi walang proper setup. You really need a tight run ship for the flag to grow and stave off invasions.

I usually get my /r/place news from communities such as [email protected], but I kinda lost interest after the inevitable admin meddling has been made obvious (the guillotine being thanos-snapped, for example).

This is a pretty decent write-up from the Verge. What follows is my own personal summation of what’s been going on.

/r/place was supposed to have been brought back this April 2023–supposedly. There’s a consensus (among the communities I’ve followed) that it’s just an effort made by the admins to drive up user engagement (after the shenanigans they’ve pulled these past few months), and make it more attractive to investors.

Things have gone pretty much according to plan: if the plan was to use hate to drive engagement numbers. There were several lovely messages to /u/spez, most notably, in German (/u/spez ist ein Huresohn). There’s also the very peculiarly French depiction of a snoo (with the name tag /u/spez) being guillotined.

However, the admin shenanigans got more obvious after that guillotine was completed, with it being thanos-snapped. Some people have investigated the issue, with some finding out that while usually, placed pixels have a user associated to it, the “random noise” that snapped the French message didn’t. This also happened in some of the English messages to /u/spez.

I basically lost interest at this point, and the coverage on the communities that makes it to my front page has pretty much dried up too. I don’t have much of an idea what happened next but I hope that the previous paragraphs made for an accurate summary about what happened.

As a large language model, … wait, no!! Sorry about that.
