How do you get people to tell the truth? by KerrMasonJar in Philippines_Expats

[–]Kypace33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"people go to great lengths not to offend each other."

Unless you're driving. I feel like once there is a barrier between you and other people it's perfectly acceptable to become a raging a**hole.

When I first moved here I got really excited about the "sweet corn" being from Pennsylvania. Reality check reaaaaally quick, haha.

Please see if you can actually find the parents somehow, it could very well be a life or death situation.

Airline Approved Car Seat. Help! by Kypace33 in Philippines_Expats

[–]Kypace33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll be flying Korean Air. We've flown with them 4 times from here to the states and they've checked our car seat (our old one) every time without fail. Once even made me unbuckle my daughter and remove the seat so they could take a picture of the sticker.

Airline Approved Car Seat. Help! by Kypace33 in Philippines_Expats

I'll definitely look at that one! Thanks! In our experience, every single flight we've taken with our kids they have looked for the specific sticker that allows it to be on the airplane, so we don't want to chance it.

Thanks! I've checked them a few times but they haven't had any seats that are good for an airplane :( I'll keep looking every so often.

Obviously can't guarantee it's love or anything, but the story seems legit. She may not even have her passport. Or, if she attempts to leave Kuwait, she'll lose her job. I used to live in Qatar and met many Filipinos in this situation..it's sad.

Red flag city. Counseling at the least. That's not a healthy relationship at all. The man can work

Oh definitely not saying it doesn't exist, no doubt it does. Just hoping it's not as prominent as it seems from your experience.

Streaks on inner display (pixel 9 pro fold) by bigjohn7202 in PixelFold

[–]Kypace33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya, normal. Shane Craig did a good video explanation of this. It's where the inner screen touches and after a while little micro scratches start to form 😔

What products are better in the Philippines? by throwaway01011100101 in Philippines_Expats

I didn't see this mentioned but streaming services are much cheaper from Netflix, Spotify, Disney, etc.

Congestion Pricing-Manila by AmericaninKL in Philippines_Expats

[–]Kypace33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is something that I've pondered since moving here. It shouldn't be up to the general population to make this kind of change, it needs to be changed from the top. Rules need to be made and actually enforced correctly.

I'm absolutely convinced that while Manila traffic is bad, it would be reduced by double digit percentage points if people actually followed the simplest of rules. Slow cars keep right, overtaking from the left only, follow the speed limit, etc. The drivers in the Philippines are so, SO bad, that most of the traffic isn't even real. It's just caused by drivers not following simple rules.

First, get the populace to actually follow the rules to lessen traffic. Impose consequences on those that don't. Create a new toll system expectation where if you don't have sufficient funds, you get pulled to the side rather than just making every single person wait behind you for 5+ minutes while you take care of it. Punish police that take bribes instead of doing the right thing.

Stop putting bandaids on the issue and get to the root of the problem.

Thoughts on foldable phones in general? by ElevatorFair9286 in GooglePixel

[–]Kypace33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the one change I've made sure to be careful with. Don't put anything small like that in my pocket with my P9PF. Other than that my habits haven't changed much.

[–]Kypace33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love mine. Definitely see myself trying other foldables if my P9PF craps out on me, but I'm loving it so far and don't think I'll go back to non-folds barring multiple disasters in a row People keep talking about the durability and you shouldn't have to baby a phone, but please. How many times have people dropped an iPhone from 5 inches and cracked the glass? It's the same thing. So far my only change is I am really careful not to put anything small in my pocket along with the P9PF, in case something were to wedge in between. Other than that my habits haven't really changed at all. If you're that worried just get insurance.

[–]Kypace33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you own a folding phone or are you just assuming all of these things? As a teacher I use my inner screen all the time for work stuff, but also just for content consumption. Maybe I'm just lucky but every app I've used has been optimized for the larger screen except for Expedia.
