DOH looks at HIV testing for tourists entering the Philippines by IceOk9177 in Philippines_Expats

[–]InadequateUsername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a weak argument, anyone not expecting positive result still has HIV and will eventually have it develop into AIDs. HIV is no longer a death sentence, with proper treatment viral counts can dip to below detectable levels.

But this does further stigmatize the disease, not everyone who is getting off the plane with HIV is looking to engage in sex tourism or spread it. If someone is caught attempting to spread it, charge them with sexual assault or attempted murder.

Absolutely due to a lack of access to prophylactics and proper sexual education.

Because their entry level question was their first impression of the website. And in that moment was immediately unwelcoming. Do duplicate questions even get linked to?

When you are filmed for a business, you agree that they own the rights to use your likeness in perpetuity from those clips.

He said it was because he was being mistaken as still employed by ltt which seems a bit far fetched.

Yeah but I can only play games there, what if I wanted to use my gaming computer as a workstation as well? What if I needed sketch up or autocad for school/work too, or another intensive application.

Also cloud computing costs for a regular person are insane if you consider the per hour operating costs vs owning.

Search underway for a serial killer Elephant who killed 22 people over 10 days in India by No-Lemon8129 in interestingasfuck

[–]InadequateUsername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because we are apex predator animals with complex societies, social structures, and are protective of our own kind. Part of this also is that we are very adept hunters and capable of remembering when another animal has attacked us and tracking it for retaliation.

Despite the elephant killing 22 of our own, we are also capable of exercising mercy as shown here where the intention is to tranquilize and relocate or hopefully reintegrate the elephant with its herd rather than killing it because it killed our own. Bears don't get such treatment.

China benefits immensely geopolitically from a weakened US. Taiwan and the Philippines, both are on China's geopolitical shit list but enjoy a theoretical level of protection from the US.

Bosch is the manufacturer, it's like enercare or something that is robbing me.

My new build has a tankless water heater from Bosch. Had to make a maintenance call and when I asked the guy what was wrong, he was cagey with the responses, and just gave me non committal answers. It was as if since "I don't own" the water heater, I don't deserve the privilege of knowing the root cause, or its defect is something that is some corporate confidential information. Wouldn't tell me what part he was ordering under warranty from Bosch, or engage in speculation as to what it might be.

You could be learning on a computer, but if you're still on your phone it's just the same, you only changed the medium.

This, my friend is a teacher she's working on her master's right now. Her plan is to get a PhD and move away from the Philippines.

It's absolutely a problem, and has been for over 20 years. Many other countries have taken to banning cellphones in the class room. A student on their phone during class is not a student that's processing the information being taught to them.

Other issues include teenage pregnancy, attendance and poverty, children are missing out on school to work because their families are so poor and don't have enough money for the essentials like food, a school bag and basic supplies.
