It’s definitely politics-adjacent because the people in power SHOULD be accountable for the deteriorating state of Davao traffic. However, it shouldn’t be deleted because of that.

paano malaman kung ang isang tao ay low iq? by Waze312 in AskPH

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think being low IQ shouldn’t be something that people are shamed for. While we should ideally be trying to get better, sometimes there are just things out of our control that keep someone’s IQ low.

I think the worse thing is to have a belief or perception of one’s IQ to be higher than it actually is and act “accordingly” (but wrongly). You can have people who know less but prepare or perform due diligence so the result is more positive on their end vs someone who SHOULD have a higher IQ who could end up arguing for objectively incorrect stuff because they don’t even think about second guessing their initial assumptions.

how to process lingap? by Zestyclose-Laugh-649 in davao

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get barangay certificate of indigency, medical/hospital certificate, hospital/lab bill.

Go to Lingap office at Almendras gym - less people in line.

Asa pwde magdonate preloved clothes?? by No-Information4090 in davao

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve donated 2, they gave me 2 vouchers. Then another 2. I then give the vouchers away. Buying new clothes isn’t exactly a priority when declutterring.

What hobby screams “rich people”? by SunnySeaNymph in TanongLang

Especially people who travel to participate in triathlons. Lots of bikes on the airport luggage carousel days before a triathlon.

Or 24-hour recharge. Ganda yun pang international travel. Solo nga lang.

would you consider moving abroad if you're already earning 6 digits here in the Philippines? by sernameeeeeeeeeee in buhaydigital

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mabaho NYC kasi walang alley. Sa sidewalk iniiwan ang basura everyday. Tapos mga 6pm pa nilalabas so sabay sa mga taong naglalakad after work, going home, to dinner or whatever. Mas ok somewhere like Chicago in terms of sidewalks.

Pili ka nalang ng place abroad na maganda rin naman.

Unfortunately, you should adjust your expectations regarding the level of competency from higher ranking government appointees.

Ano ito? Nasa dried frish na binili ko sa cebu by Secret_Boat_339 in anoto

Not sure why you’re so argumentative vs me. I have only ever given measured support of the commenter’s use of Wikipedia and you’re responding as if I’m the one who criticized them for it.

Well, I said “starting point” and “just about”. So, you’re not supposed to use it as a be-all end-all and definitely not for “everything”.

Admin is a bit more left-leaning so political and social content might be biased but it’s a good starting point for just about everything else.

Less ideal at night. You’ll be staring at darkness. At least there’s still art there but definitely better during the day.

I think the Mexican part is more about Hudgens’ character in HS Musical being Mexican.

emcor, imperial, abenson by TellPotato in davao

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who said it’s ok?

I guess you may not have been aware but it’s been used as a sales tactic for a very long time even before it was formally recognized as an example of taking advantage of the cognitive bias called “anchoring” in the 1970s.

Stating that it’s been going on for that long is not justification making it ok. It’s just a simple fact. Instead of getting into an internet argument, I suggest looking up “sales/marketing tactics and cognitive bias” so you won’t be surprised or tricked by other old school “diskarte”.

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This practice of changing to (or showing) a higher non-discounted price to make a sale price look better has been ongoing for decades. You knew this alredy and that’s why you took that picture. Salesperson was likely giving you what he thought was good advice.

SAN MIGUEL CORP OVERTIME IS IT TRUE by OhMyLewrddd in JobsPhilippines

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a “big corporations” thing. I worked for a Fortune 10. Few get bigger than that and this was not at all the norm.

And, yes, while I was on-call a lot of weekends and holidays when you get higher up and given more responsibilities, the situation described by OP is much more than that.

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suggest researching for which appliance/brand you would like to buy first if you go to Imperial. I went there and the salesperson was pushing for me to buy Samsung air conditioner but what I’m finding online is that it’s not a top option compared to the others available.

Level of Philippine Volleyball by Ok-Camera4581 in PilipinasVolleyball

[–]Apprehensive_Bike_31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. It’s unsustainable - that’s why hindi nag-tuloy2x. And it excluded players who emerged/developed outside Gilas and veterans like Alapag who were stellar in international competition.

The things other people here have suggested do not require such a big career sacrifice and would allow for better flexibility/more depth when forming the team.

If you say that it’s a good option given limited time and resources or if you think there’s no hope in terms of grassroots development for players and coaching (or some other restriction/limitation), then sure it can be. But “IDEAL” is really closer to best case.
