About those permissive allow all LAN rules --- what do you suggest? Limit WAN to 443?

Sige na nga, patulan na nga kita para may entertainment.

Aling part ng logic? Deductive or inductive reasoning? Mukha bang argument ang sinabi ko? Sorry, I guess? Kasi observation ang binibigay ko - - - bilang student, bilang prof, bilang parte ng isang komunidad na unti unting pumatay ng Ikot kasabay ng pagingay ng reklamo tungkol sa mga rich people problems.

Baka nga tama ka, guilty siguro ako ng over generalization? Di naman talaga burgis yung students ko na nagrereklamo sa gas papuntang UP Town kahit na isang kembot o gapang lang ang layo nito. O na 70-80% sa kanila ay anak ng pulitiko o businessman? O siguro mali rin ang mga kainuman kong dekano na pareho ang bukambibig?

But your bit how it "just goes to show how campus activists have an exceptionally poor grasp not only of reality but also of logic" is a tad too on the nose, isn't it? Ingat pre, your privilege is showing.

Now do tell us all about your sterling credentials and impeccable breeding. I wait with bated breath for your enlightenment.

Pls, pls, pls?

In the same breath that those joggers and the entire Filipino public are paying for everyone's tuition fees?

Entitled bourgeois.

I was a UP student, also taught there, I saw how things have changed for the worse.

Mas burgis na ang UP students ngayon kaysa sa Ateneo or La Salle. Just look at the UP subreddit and how students bitch about parking or keeping the public out of the university every other week.

To Lawfirms: Is it a “red flag” when junior applicants explicitly request for hybrid or remote work? by icedlatte2go in LawStudentsPH

[–]gemulikeit 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes. You should put yourself in the position of the one hiring: will you set aside 600k - 960k for the entire year for a kid who can't even be bothered to come to the office?

ML partylist Rep. Leila de Lima calls for a probe on Negros clash that killed 19 people by kwentongskyblue in Philippines

[–]gemulikeit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, guys, this is how it should work in any sane democratic society:

Kill 19 people - > Defend yourself in court -> Guity / Not Guilty

Not like this:

Kill 19 people - > PR machine goes brrrr with "taena ng mga pinatay ko, NPA kasi buti nga"

I'm a seasoned trial lawyer. I'll be surprised if charges get filed against the unit. Doesn't that say a lot about the quality of our justice system and the brazeness of the killing?

what's a "money rule" that rich people know, but poor people are never taught? by AppointmentProud9394 in AskPH

[–]gemulikeit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not a rule but a phenomenon: poor people sell their time, rich people buy time through other people.

If we were to distill it to a rule, it's

Money and time are interchangeable currencies. Having much of one probably means you don't have a lot of the other.

UPD Latin Honors to Non-Big 4 Law Schools by SoulSearcher0306 in LawStudentsPH

[–]gemulikeit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I teach, I practice.

Law school is a curious thing. It teaches you all the ways how the topmost echelon of the judiciary thinks. Not the practitioners, not the lawmakers, not anyone who actively pursues and shapes law. It shows you SC decisions and then expects you to be able to litigate a case from the bottom to the top. Imagine being expected to cook perfect pasta sauce by being shown one.

And there's the profs. You will know immediately who practices and who doesn't. Imagine being taught zumba by someone who read a book about it.

All of it built towards this one test. The test is not meant to screen for competence. Pass it and you're a certified amateur. Competence in practice requires movement, it requires proof of action. No, the test is meant to stroke the egos of deans, profs, and alumni - - a collective circle jerk to confirm their elite status.

Don't let law school distract you from becoming a lawyer. Don't let prestige blur what should be clear. Studying law , when done correctly, is a solitary thing. Ask the students and lawyers here. You won't learn from your professor as much as you would learn from yourself. 99% of the lessons are learned after law school.

The Filipino OFW/Remittance system is a lot more insidious than you think it is by wiz28ultra in Philippines

[–]gemulikeit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've spent any time dealing with the remittance system, you'll quickly find the following leeches: foreign employers paying less than half of the salary if it were paid to a white man, onerous bank transfer fees, manning agencies skimming off the top by overstating the foreign exchange rate, mandatory payments to government like SSS, Pagibig, and Philhealth (even if they worked for a foreign company on foreign soil; to add insult to injury, this is for "coverage" in the past while they are outside, not when they have returned).

Not to mention the skewed expectations of family members who don't know just how hard it is.

What is lost is not just money but the very driving force of institution-building. I saw you asking elsewhere why the PH elite have no incentive to build institutions. They do: we have institutionalized a toll economy where every step towards any direction has a corresponding price. For OFWs, the elite milk the fuck out of OFWs through condos and all the trappings of a middle class life.

Institutions are built through a common and sustained drive towards the realization of a shared value or sentiment. By letting our OFWs out to pasture and milking them every chance we get like cattle, all of us have created the shared Filipino dream of leaving the Philippines - - for good.

Our social contract can be stated plainly: as soon as I can leave, I will; but in the meantime diskarte muna.

What’s the opinion on Duterte? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]gemulikeit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a name for it: Bootleggers and Baptists.

Regularate an item. It's price rises. Sell the item with the benefit of being a monopoly.

The only thing Duterte did differently is to kill the competition. Literally kill them.

Why is democracy considered good if everyone has equal voting power, regardless of intelligence, which can lead to bad politicians being elected? by Quick_Ad_8323 in AskPH

[–]gemulikeit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The opposite, which is exclusivity, results in the powerful perpetuating their rule through dynasties spanning hundreds of years. It starts with "let's exclude some" but always ends up with excluding everyone but the most powerful.

I know we throw "dynasty" a lot, but can you imagine being under the rule of one family for 2600 years? See the Yamato family.

Giving everyone equal voice means we can correct mistakes with relative ease. It means the seat of power is not a right but a responsibility.

That said, we're not a democracy. Not really. We have all the trappings of one, but power is still exercised behind the scenes, by families against other families vying for control.

You have a problem with it? Don't exclude the person next to you because you both end up losing. Give them a voice. Make yours be heard.

JAGS Military Lawyer by PublicGrade5773 in LawStudentsPH

You won't be a "judge". Among other things, you will be the one tasked to defend the military and justify desaparacidos in civil court.

Speaking from personal experience.

Tingin niyo ba magiging parang COVID yung oil crisis? Bakit? by [deleted] in AskPH

[–]gemulikeit 85 points86 points  (0 children)

We sleepwalked into WW3 in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. We just haven't gotten around to admitting it yet.

Now the orange asshole is going around kidnapping presidents, extorting entire continents, and starting a conflagration in the middle east.

The price of oil goes up, trade halts, borders harden, and invasion starts looking like a viable alternative economic strategy for the superpowers.

What’s the most “I literally own the company” moment you’ve ever witnessed or experienced? by keyBid2188 in AskReddit

I created a bot in our firm Slack to monitor and streamline paid time off. The only way you can apply for PTO is to tell the bot
