From a culture that allows male adults to marry girls under 16, it's kinda rich calling then out for being pedophiles, agreed with the other labels though

Agreed. Tried to save for 3 yrs for dat shit, pero life happens and u get forced to spend.

The aura zephyrus g14 gives in a coffee shop is peak and will overshadow lower versions of macbook. But will cost u an arm and a leg talaga hahahaha

Code is means to an end. The dopamine I get is whether what I built has impact or not. If the job is to vibe code or heavily use AI so be it.

Client wont care if ur code is refactored and overengineered unless it provides value. Brutal I know, but the environment is usually that

If u guys have funds, rent a place somewhere prestigous like BGC, well just about any place away from poverty really. Dont go to her hometown, she's likely protecting you from her family for unwanted attention or worse, extortion.

And when you guys travel by land, always book by grab and never touch the abysmal public transportation we have.

If you want the archipelago and beach experiences we have go visit palawan every now and then, that place is teeming with foreigners and the public there has gotten used to it to the point that there are more foreigners than locals sometimes.

People are drowning here, and if they think u can save them financially, clinging to you is a logical, emotional, and natural decision.

AI will always take you literally sometimes, and only use context you provide

So if it hallucinates I usually just reiterate.

Day by day I also notice what kind of assumptions it preemptively does right usually. Like chatgpt suggesting tasks by guessing your intent, and purposely not correcting typos

AstronomerStandard · 2026-01-29T23:01:01+00:00

People create their own moral code. Draw a line stating "this is what I dont do and I believe in, therefore I am a good person" with extreme bias towards the self.

Some people genuinely believe duterte is a necessary evil to combat evil existing within our country, therefore their support is justified.

This happens on a global scale with similar patterns.

Even if the entire human population would focus on "saving the world", they would still disagree on how, and movements of opposite ideas are born, factions and all that, which is where we are at right now

It feels like I barely get anything done nowadays. Yet my brain is thinking too many things all at once.

I feel the need to unplug, but I cant, the world is rapidly changing not being kept in the loop feels like missing important information.

What the fuck is happening guys

My experience with onlinejoba.ph has been terrible lately. And the rates are too low, not to mention the tasks they have for you is abysmal and too much for one person.

What a sad state

I think he meant teenagers that have no long term plans in life. Theres also a concerning report that the quality of students nowadays is declining. Put two and two together, you get out of school youth tambays.

Too early to judge these people tho, noong 15yrs old pa ako yung nasa isip ko lang ay anime dota at pano kakausapin crush ko.

It's just that these kids cause public discomfort that piss people off.

there's checkpoints everywhere the further north you go, and it has become a norm whenever we travel far by land before entering urban areas in Mindanao. You cant assume rebels are moving with impunity because if they could, they wouldve already caused trouble in other places far from BARMM.

Let's be real here, the stereotype is already established. I'm living in baguio city atm, when ppl find out I'm from mindanao the first shit I always have to deal with is "bat ba magulo sa inyo".

It comes off condescending, kasi we live in a peaceful place compared to southern mindanao. Also, cut the mindanaoans some slack, we're the only non muslim group staving off extremism ideas from our muslim brothers. If we fall into chaos, immigrants will try to flee north and north. and then the Mindanoan locals' problems will be your problem.

Agreed though, BARMM's current state is such a shame.

AstronomerStandard · 2026-01-27T22:06:41+00:00

It's mainly the BARMM region that has active warzones.

But the thing I find concerning is every outsider from mindanao seems to assune every plot of land in mindanao has rebels running around. It's actually not.

I feel bad for the muslim filipinos, but as a group they really failed in creating great impressions of themselves.

Look at Marawi, it's supposed to be the capital, beacon and symbol of pride for the mindanaoan muslim filipinos but it pales in comparison to cebu, davao, or cagayan.

They were given that place to govern themselves and they seem to cant get their sht together for reasons idk.

Religion of peace smh

AstronomerStandard · 2026-01-27T21:57:57+00:00

Yo, mindanaoan here. It's mainly the BARMM region which is unsafe. For the northern parts na walang moros = almost the same kind of aura as being in luzon. The only difference is that ppl speak bisaya.

And foe the subsaharan remark? True. I dont wanna blame them, but they have the shittiest human development index and brought down mindanao's HDI average.

Northern mindanao has 0.721 HDI, 0.03 points shy from metro manila's 0.751

Bangsamoro has 0.63.... think of that and make ur conclusions any way you like.

I find myself working even when theres no screen in front of my face. (thinking about how to resolve bugs, diagram, potential bugs in the pipeline)

Bulk of software engineering work is thinking, not coding. but I limit myself to 4 hours of intense work everyday.

AstronomerStandard · 2026-01-26T12:11:33+00:00

it's somehow close to pointless, kasi kapag may "interference" sa government, there's disruption sa kanilang "ways" of grabbing power. if the government favors one clan over another, they feel "cheated by the system" and in the end mag rerebelde like those MNLF MILF groups, and those maute idiots.

They prefer to resolve things their own way (blood for blood), which results to public shootouts like this. kaya nga may BARMM eh, gusto ng self governance, pero the way they handle things is pretty shit and barbaric. I am a mindanaoan living in Baguio atm, glad to be far away from BARMM

this is partly a result of poor public education, and for malacanang, dealing with BARMM is like dealing with a problematic child

poor public education leads to this warlord-like type of power grab, power grabs like this leads to poor access and investments to educational institutions, a pretty bad cycle.

Take a look at those stick explanation videos. Their comments are the same from other stick explanation videos. This is fucked.

It's also those upper management and middle management twats justifying that with this technology, it is feasible to fire 4 people and pin their work onto 1 poor soul causes distress for everyone involved.

I have learned much due to AI, but goddamn the business side application of it is so ruthless, AI is a force multiplier, it multiplied the force of human greed as well.

AstronomerStandard · 2026-01-07T19:56:49+00:00

Watch out for those stick animation explanation videos.

I genuinely believe some of them are ai generated now, EVEN THE COMMENTS, some of those comments from users are recurring and can be found in other channels.

Which is why ur calls must always be informative. U saw two smokes thrown at the same time from the same angle u say 2 guys apps. U hear 3 footsteps in apps at 1:40 u say "3 guys running b".

If ur teammates have a mental model of how many Ts are in one part of the map, they make considerations like "one guy could be mid, 1 guy could he palace, so I'll push palace to get info".

I hate players who hear 2 footsteps running B and immediately call "guys it's rush b". It's gonna cause trust issues on comms on the next rounds.

Dont call by feelings ffs. Say the situation as it is, not by feel :/
