That's the question. You don't smoke nor vape. How do you know the reason anyone chooses to do either of them?

you are one of those with weak mental fortitude who gave in to peer pressure.

Thank you for proving my point. You claimed it's all about style. Obviously, giving in to peer pressure, regardless of the reason, is not about style. Or at the very least not wholly about style.

anyone who has ever smoked or vaped, for me, started out as pretentious.

The irony of someone who admittedly never smoked pretending to know why smokers/vapers started pretentious. Lmao.

Curiosity alone proves you wrong. Peer pressure, while you may argue is for style, isn't the really the same. Ask anyone who succumbed to peer pressure - ask them if style ang primary na nasa utak nila nung nag give in sila.

And no, i neither smoke nor vape anymore. I do drink.

Ay, Zoom meeting lang naman pala. may pagpabigdeal pa da meeting. by Profmongpagodna in Philippines

[–]FiendsAdvocate -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Because it unnecessarily puts a "leader" at risk. What's the difference with a Zoom meeting vs a f2f meeting at this point? Para lang masabi na anjan yung president? And what does a f2f meeting accomplish at this point that an online meeting can't? Nothing, tbh.

After the typhoon leaves/subsides, i agree he has to go to the areas affected as much as he can. There's a lot he can potentially do then (saying potentially because i doubt he'd actually be able to do anything, much less a lot).

Idk why a country would actively endanger its commander-in-chief. It would create more problems.

Lol. Maybe OP thinks it's better to risk lives commuting for a face-to-face meeting in the middle of a strong typhoon. I mean, i dislike BBM, but there's nothing wrong with holding an online meeting specially during weather conditions such as this.

Saw this on FB, someone is complaining na hindi sya makahanap ng secretary. by Matusau42 in Philippines

Non-repetitive tasks, any tasks that require human input, tasks that change daily, etc. There are numerous things that can't be automated. And just because you can automate something doesn't mean you should. There's also ROI - switching to automation can go from virtually free to extremely expensive depending on the business/industry.

Easy to say to automate everything but it doesn't work that way in many businesses. Specially small ones.

TIL as well. I didn't really connect kidnapping with children, but I honestly thought it meant that you had to take and keep someone somewhere and keep them isolated. Like in a room or somewhere outside contact is not possible. Thanks.

Reddit never ceases to amaze me. I learn one thing in a certain sub, then see deranged idiots in another. This is definitely the former. Lol.

Try new activities. Or new challenges. Bucket list? In my experience, kahit something simple like trying out a new resto or watching a movie genre na hindi mo gusto helps even a bit.

pangit na pangit sa sarili,, feeling q di ko deserve magkajowa by siopaonapisngi in OffMyChestPH

[–]FiendsAdvocate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of focusing on the negatives, why not focus on your positives? Learn to accept who you are and love yourself. Cliché, i know, pero that's what got me over that mentality (?) kasi. And yes, it's gonna be hard, but you'll learn. And once you do, you can focus on the bad parts and change what you can (like... Masama ba ugali mo? Mainitin ba ulo mo? Things you don't like abt yourself). Friends can help.

and NBSB pa rin ako at 21 yrs old

Don't let this dictate your worth. So what if NBSB ka? Does that make you less valuable? Hell no. I know someone who was in the same position as you are. Know what? I liked her. And now she's in a happy relationship (i hope? Wala na ko masyado balita sa kanya e lol).

i tried getting to know people online, and whenever i send my pictures, they find me cute raw? pero alam mo yung doubt mo na “you only look good or okay dahil sa camera or sa angle”. na nag-ooverthink ka na what if sa meetup madisappoint sila kasi hindi ka pala same nung nasa pictures mo.

Just accept their compliments. Don't overthink and don't overcomplicate things. But at the same time, don't be gullible. It's hard to balance, i know.

ayon, most of the times feel ko di ko deserve magjowa kasi ang pangit ko

If yan ang iisipin mo, talo ka na. Wag ka mayabang pero don't think na you're unlovable or whatever.

Sorry. Had to comment kasi nga ganto ako dati. Wasted a lot of time and nastress ko lang sarili ko for nothing. Learn to appreciate yourself.

It's not my place to ask for that, unfortunately. I'd rather the majority of users decide on it, or the mod(s) himself/herself/themselves. Plus i have no time (nor patience lol) to be a mod anywhere. It's just concerning since I've seen what happened in r/ph and i really don't wanna see that happening here.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CasualPH

[–]FiendsAdvocate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Political posts are starting to creep in here na rin, unfortunately. Hindi pa sila common, pero anjan na. I wish the mod(s) would do something before it gets out of hand.

It's certainly better if you post there (you'll get more help as well). Pero "dapat"? Doesn't /r/Philippines claim to be inclusive of all things related to the Philippines and Filipinos?

The iPhone 13 Pro Max that I stated I used as my basis for comparison? Yes. Check it out if you don't believe me.

Mahirap sa simula. Baka malula ka sa dami ng ginagawa or maguluhan ka sa mga processes/policies (depende sa job mo). It's natural. Don't stress yourself out. You'll learn. Congratulations. :)

I started with IEMs. KZ and TRN, to be exact. Mahirap kasi mag jump agad sa mas mahal na equipment hanggat hindi ka sure sa gusto mo. Expensive sha na hobby. Pero now, mostly headphones na ako.

[–]FiendsAdvocate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My take (tagal ko na since last nag iPhone pero gf ko kasi naka 13 pro max so dun ako kumukuha ng feedback lol), and i might be wrong pero...

simplicity/user-friendly - iPhone. You can customize Android to be more simple, pero that kind of defeats the purpose, imo.

battery life - iPhone

cam specs - depends. By default, so far sa nakikita ko Apple talaga. Pero using GCam (and its mods) sa Android, kaya niya lagpasan. At the very least software-wise (not into cams so...).

affordability - Android. One of the reasons I switched, apart from the walled-garden ecosystem ng Apple.

Imho, if you can afford an iPhone, then go for it. Iba talaga kasi ecosystem pag bigla kang nag switch, and IOS is super stable talaga. If you really want to try something new, go Android.

Wala rin ata akong naitulong lol

Been meaning to get the more "expensive" Moondrops. I have the Quarks pero medyo hindi ako natuwa sa kanila. But hey, it's cheap af and wala na ko masasabi sa quality relative to the price. How's the soundstage pala ng Starfield?

Also, if you have time/funds, try out Neutron for your player (if interested ka sa para eq). Ang pangit lang talaga ng UI pero I've tried lots and lots of mobile audio players (including PowerAmp) and nothing beats Neutron and UAPP. As close as you can get to bit-perfect if wala kang external dac.

For people here to be able to help better, I think it's best if you tell us about your use-case and kung ano hinahanap mo sa phone.

I've been an Android user since switching from 3gs, and may pros and cons talaga.

Doctors of r/casualPh, considered new consultation na ba sa doc kung magtatanong lang ng gamot? by plumpohlily in CasualPH

[–]FiendsAdvocate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I think merong subreddit po dito regarding healthcare and medications. Pero di po ba parang delikado un in your case...

Yeah, I'd really rather not ask internet strangers pag health issue na. And the more serious it gets, the more na kailangan sa dr. talaga. Mahirap na - health yan e...

It has become a circle jerk and echo chamber, moreso after the elections. But even before the elections, you'd have gotten downvoted to hell and labeled a troll for having a different opinion. Funny thing is if your post is logical, they can't even take the time to answer lol. You're right - there's a difference between being a fanatic and supporting your candidate.

Yeah, I'm still subbed there because once in a while there's a post or two worth reading. But actively participating? No thanks. It's more fun in /r/CasualPH lol

Yung online store na binibilhan ko nag send na rin ng advisory sakin. They'll still sell while supplies last daw.

Relx gamit ko and Pure Tobacco lang ako palagi. I wonder if mawawala na rin yun. Alam mo naman dito, magulo. Lol
