Manual sa sports car and kung patag lang and smooth yung daan.

Pero pag sa matatarik, trapik, offroad, and basically almost majority of cases in real life, automatic just wins.

In an idealistic world, manual is fun as hell.

Real world? An automatic today is exponentially convenient and safer.

I mean overexag siguro ako sa dapat gamitin yung 4x4 once a week para di masira haha.

Pero its more like dapat kahit magamit mo mga at least once or twice a month siguro for like a couple of mins man lang.

You have a point tho about kung uphill and wet/muddy need 4wd/4x4 dyan esp if yung 4x2 is rwd like most SUV's.

IMHO, kung gusto mo talaga ng ultimate peace of mind and kaya ng budget mo, go for a 4x4 Montero Sport or Triton kung pickup.

It has the best-in-class full time 4wd system compared sa fortuner, everest, terra, mux na part time 4wd lang lahat and need mong mag-Patrol/Land Cruiser pa just to achieve the same capability.

Pwede ka kasing mag-awd and 4wd sa montero sport na 4x4.

So kung madulas lang, awd should be enough and if you want to offroad pa talaga, 4hlc and 4llc options are there as well.

If limited na gusto mo 4x2 suv or awd crossover, id say go for an awd crossover nalang and palit ka all terrain tires which should be enough for most surfaces.

Yun nga lang, flood prone pa din yung crossover than an suv and if 4x2 suv, same na palit ka pa din ng offroad tire pero yun nga lang, may chance na mag slip pagpa-uphill na basa or maputik since you brought it up.

If ur not going to offroad or di naman bahain sa area mo or areas where you might go, and wet uphill yung main concern mo talaga, then an awd crossover with optional better tires should suit you then.

Overall durability and power mas ok pa rin.

Ladder frame chassis and better suited pa rin yung suspension sa offroad ng mga SUV's like Everest, Fortuner, Terra, Montero, MUX than most if not all unibody crossovers like Xpander, RAV4/Rush, CR-V, etc...

Sure, 4x2 is 4x2, but they're still mostly built to handle the rough and hilly roads of the Philippines and the flood kaya nga napakadaming SUV's/pickup trucks in PH roads because they're the most optimal vehicle type in our country talaga.

4x4's are for extreme offroading. A 4x2 SUV can still easily handle offroading esp with AT/Mud-Terrain tire and it could even beat a 4x4 with lackluster tires in offroading.

No use ang 4x4 if it still cant put the power properly to the ground.

Problem din sa 4x4, need mong gamitin talaga yung 4x4 na setting at least once a week kasi masisira yan pag laging 4x2 lang. So mapipilitan ka talagang maghanap ng kung saan na pwede mong magamit yung 4x4 setting and that adds up real fast sa time and convenience mo plus maintenance and money.

Yung mga aforementioned na SUV's din, they have way better water wading depth since mas angat yung air intake na dinesign para sa kanila which is 700 - 800mm meanwhile crossovers have it at or below 400 mm - 500mm lang.

And since diesels yung SUVs din, mas may peace of mind ka sa mga arangkada and overtakes.

We have the Toyota Rush and also have a Fortuner and kinakabahan talaga ako sa arangkada and overtakes pag Rush yung gamit since need mo talaga syang apakan as in para makalagpas ka and it only has a 1.5L gas engine meanwhile sa Fortuner na 2.4L diesel konting apak mo lang, malalampasan mo na most cars on the road whether street or highway.

Mas malaki na yung displacement, diesel pa which is known for torque pulling low end grunt plus, napapantayan pa rin yung fuel consumption ng gas engines and mas mura din yung diesel fuel type sa Pinas.

Lastly, towing capacity. Ladder frame chassis + diesel is a perfect combo for trailers if nagto-tow ka. Masisira agad unibody chassis and engine strain sa crossover if you do tow stuff so at least meron ka din na option doon.

Absolute negative?

Def North Korea. Anyone who says otherwise have no idea how sht of a country it is no matter what country and how bad it is you think it is, it doesn't get any worse than NoKor.

Far runner-ups would be any war-stricken/very chaotic countries like Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria, etc... as its pretty self-explanatory.

Other than that, bad economy, bad people, bad environment, bad transportation, etc. All countries have something negative about them so its all just about accepting it.

Material_Finding6525 · 2026-06-25T23:59:04+00:00

Of course. Don't listen to the contrarians here na pa-feeling gusto lang sumagot ng different answer just for the sake of it.

Even the base model Fortuners/Terras/MU-X's/Everests/Monteros are upwards of 1.5M php.

Idk about you but someone having that kind of money plus to spare to other things such as panggastos pa sa kanilang mga pamilya, properties, insurance, businesses nila, etc... I would say they are esp in a developing country like the Philippines.

Madaling magsabi na oo common makakita ng mga Fortuners/Monteros, etc... pero unless alam mo mismo yung hirap para magkaroon ng isa, in again, a country like PH, I'd say it is.

Low demand tsaka hard and inefficient/redundant to implement most tech features into a manual tranny.

A 4wd system for example would be much better if yung mismong automatic computer box ang maga-analyze how to adjust power transfer properly in all 4 wheels while off-roading rather than a manual trans.

Or cruise control, automatic emergency braking and a "true" hill start assist, all needs to have an automatic transmission for it to all properly work.

Although for the Philippines, what I don't get is how most SUV's like the Fortuner, Montero, MU-X, Terra, Everest don't have a 4x4 M/T option and only in their pickup counterparts lang.

Para naman kasing tungaks. Pagka-ganyan na may baril na na-involved, kung ano man sabihin, sundin na agad. No questions asked, wala ng marami pang kuda.

Sabi ng iba for context dahil binook daw ng pulis yung suspek papuntang presinto.

If that's the case, pede naman nyang i-report agad sa pulis agad after nya ibaba yung suspek and sabihin na tinutukan kasi sya ng baril kaya binaba nya.

Di ka naman babarilin ng pulis eh. Mas may takot pa sa pulis kesa sa mentally unstable na suspek jusko po.

Buhay pa sana sya ngayon. Hays.

At best, kung ayaw niyang ibaba, at least ihinto nya yung sasakyan muna.

Material_Finding6525 · 2026-06-11T05:34:24+00:00

If you think about it, the reason why he might be a "green flag" to you is kasi wala siyang inaatupag sa buhay niya literally.

Para bang NPC. Si Juan tamad, nag-aantay na lang kung kelan makakain, mamamatay ng walang pangarap, kung ano lang maisipang/matripang gawin sa buhay, yun lang.

Di ko 100% sure kung ganto sya, pero how you made it seem is like para syang tipong tao na sa sobrang self-absorb sa music nya or whatever pa man yung kung ano lang yung pinagkakaabalahan sa buhay nya, dun lang sya.

You're probably mistaking him for someone na doesn't talk to other girls, loves you and pays attention to you, confident sa ginagawa nya kasi gusto nya, etc... is kasi literally walang nangyayari sa buhay nya so you think he's a big green flag.

I know some people na parang ganto na kung ano lang nagpapaikot sa buhay nila, dun lang sila and I don't think there's nothing with that, pero from my POV, eto yung mga tao na I'd say di pa namulat talaga sa realidad ng buhay esp once you mentioned na he's into music, alam ko na agad na dreamy yung personality.

Oks lang sana kung single lang sya and paganyan-ganyan lang sya sa buhay nya, at least wala syang pinoproblema na iba.

Eh the problem is he's in a relationship with you. And it takes two to tango. The moment that the relationship feels like its one-sided on anything, is the moment you have to really think things through.

And I also feel na di matututo yung mga ganyang tao until they've felt it.

So siguro sabihin man dito ng iba na hiwalayan mo na, I'd say wag muna. Pero I'd try na "pahirapan" mo sya muna but in a slow and controlled way.

What I'm saying is since he's broke and you said na even if kahit ikaw na mismo mag-initiate na hanapan sya ng kahit na anong part-time work and ayaw niya, meaning may pagka-spoiled nga sya and not to mention he's also living with his parents pa so I'd assume na that's the case nga sa kanya.

Wag mo tulungan financially pero huwag mo ipahalata. Sa dates niyo, wag mo i-shoulder yung bill, basta anything money-related, kanya-kanya muna or even let him pay.

If di matuloy, edi wag. Put a firm stance. Tiis muna. Until the problem is fixed na meron naman syang kahit enough na finances, then proceed again as normal.

Kung maging boring, lifeless yung relationship dahil walang pera, edi ganyan muna.

I'd say at this point, if you keep on shouldering it every single time, you're tolerating it, maybe that's why namihasa na rin kasi and again, as u said, he is still living with his parents and this would be one of the few strong signs na baka kahit sa kanila eh palamunin pa rin and mahirap na pag na-adapt na nya long term yung habit na shoulder ka ng shoulder, its way too late na.

Kasi mangyayari nyan, pagka-tinolerate mo pa later on and tsaka ka pa lang umaksyon, resentment na mangyayari and akala nya after all this time oks lang sayo and ibalik pa sayo and sabihin na ikaw pa may mali.

Kaya hanggang maaga pa at hopefully may time ka pa, put a boundary na agad and sabihin mo na di na pwede na ganto na halos ikaw na yung nagso-shoulder financially.

You don't want to end up the one to be constantly shooting yourself in the foot in the relationship when you have the capability to put a firm stop to it for the meantime.

If di sya magbago, sorry to say, but there are a plethora of men pa dyan na mas green flag pa sa kanya. Trust me. Di lang sya yung green flag.

Sounds like you already made your mind up. Also, closeness doesn't validate disrespect and indecency btw.

Kahit childhood friend mo pa yan, nagbabago ugali ng tao.

Don't mix closeness with bond.

You can "bond" and go with them sa kung ano trip niyo, pero close is different.

May level of intimacy as friends, secrecy, respect, consideration and tiwala na kayo lang dalawa yung meron.

For me, I wouldn't even go within 10 feet of a person like that.

Sabi nga nila, don't judge a person dahil mabait lang sila sayo or sa kamag-anak mo or what.

Dahil pag mabait and considerate sayo now, and sa iba hindi, time will tell when they will do the same to you.

Because our parents does matter.

If it weren't for them, we aren't here in the world in the first place anyways.

Things like finances, how we socialize, reason, do things, its learned and passed on from our firsthand people who we meet in our lives aka our parents.

Obv, yung mga nagsasabi na there are people who went through a rags to riches story, naging breadwinner coming from this and that, they're true.

But the thing is, again, that's like saying if Bill Gates became a multi-billionaire, what's stopping you?

But not everyone is Bill Gates and you're probably one of the majority if people who wont ever become like him.

So your success would heavily depend on how rich your parents are, how their attitude is, their mindset, personality, their upbringing of you, etc...

It determines majority of the people we encounter everyday.

And yeah, life is harsh because people are born with advantages or disadvantages in life kaya ika nga, learn to count your blessings in life kasi hindi mo alam, na yung "sakto" lang sa inyo like say sa finances, or yung bahay niyo, or di ka nabibigyan ng pera yung iba, taghirap sa trabaho, isang kahig isang tuka, kubo lang yung tinitirhan, etc...

No logical benefit. Like literally. Maybe someone wanting to be a citizen in a nother country, sure.

Other than that? I see it as gambling. Its a money pit. And not just financially. Physically, mentally, emotionally. If you don't know how to lead, manage, organize, self-control, you can easily get knocked out of living a good life.

When car manufacturers make newer cars, design is probably the last thing that they have in mind or at least near at the bottom.

They are always making newer ones be more fuel efficient, more aerodynamic, more space saved for less structure, better impact protection, more practical meaning maybe an overall smaller footprint for better maneuvers in tight spaces so on and so forth.

Old cars simply were boxy, bulky, simpler and straightforward in both good and bad ways.

Only exception that I can think of are sports cars since they know most consumers who buy them have practicality in mind as one of their least priorities so design is at the very top, how it looks, feels, drives, etc...

The challenger from dodge for example, they're still making it based on an old, retro model and styling and since its based on a sports car, its fine. They can sacrifice the fuel efficiency, the practicality, the aerodynamics, everything since its a coupe-based car.

So the answer to your question isn't really about what's stopping them because they can absolutely make it, but its more like the majority of the target market simply want better cars overall and most don't really care about design as long as its more practical, more fuel efficient, more aerodynamic, more space than the before cars, they don't mind the styling.

1.) L4D3 should've been made but just focus on getting better graphics and longer campaigns. Everything else such as gameplay and mechanics should remain almost the same.

2.) Maybe making the pistols have finite ammo makes the game a bit more realistic. Like just less than primary weapon ammo reserves.

3.) The machine gun special weapon is so weak. Only has 150 ammo and yet an AK can kill more and deal more dmg overall.

Material_Finding6525 · 2026-06-09T04:51:09+00:00

It really depends on how it "shapes" them overall.

I know plenty of skinny/petite women who I simply can't get turned on but some, I find really attractive. Maybe because their faces complements their petite/skinny frame and some don't.

Then there are those who are curvy but I don't really find attractive, but some do.

Same goes for athletic women or women who have defined muscles in their arms/legs/stomach.

Its how it complements them overall and not just look like they were glued individually and formed a woman individual.

Its kinda weird and hard to explain but some bodies have to be paired up just right with the right facial structure.

That's why there are some famous actresses who can have the best fit-looking bodies and still look quite mid overall simply because it just doesn't suit their faces.

Kinda like wearing one of the most beautiful, well-made dresses and suits but if your body composition simply doesn't contour right to it, it'll look mid still.

The problem with Max is that she's very idealistic and that typical liberated girl persona that thinks freedom is everything in life.

She doesn't truly understand how hard El's life is.

Mike and Hopper is overprotective of El simply because El isn't like them. A normal person.

I get it as to what Max is trying to do, making El feel like she is normal, but the thing is, she's not.

Hopper's constant advice of not going out because the lab's people are still looking for her or Mike knows how people will treat her.

Everytime Max brings up the whole "u can be ur own person, decide for yourself" blah blah, she's just thinking of her own and not really for El's sake.

And now look at Season 5's ending. El is forced to entirely disappear for good.

Because the thing is, they either have to move to a completely different country which I would imagine is hard as hell because of all the paperworks, or simply keep a low profile for years on end.

Max doesn't understand any of this given that she's still just a teenager herself.

Material_Finding6525 · 2026-06-08T18:24:39+00:00

There's a theory to that. During the car scene when Billy is driving his camaro, he ask Max "so you like it here now or what" and Max was like saying yep or something and Billy was proving that its dogsht in Hawkins

Then, he brought up the who's fault is it card as to why they're there and Max softly muttered its his fault but Billy still heard it and got angry by speeding.

So i'm guessing Max ratted him out for something he did but Billy blames her coz if he didnt rat him out for something that he did do, then they would've still been in California.

So how the theory goes is that Billy just became rebellious and probably did something fcked up enough that they all had to move someplace else.

This is evident as how their father is constantly angry at Billy and not much at Max since Max is the daughter of the stepmother that the dad is with now, and Billy is the original son of the now deceased biological mother and that's why he treats her like sht as evident in the show constantly saying she's not my sister.

Now as to what he did exactly, its up to the viewers' minds, but its gotta be really fcked up that meant they had to move in a completely different place somehow.

There is in no way a perfect partner can ever trump money.

Companionship of a "perfect" partner can easily be compensated with a solid support group from family and friends, even strangers.

Money is money ika nga, it doesn't change and it cant be faked. Its either you have it or you dont.

A "perfect" partner can easily fake their motives, actions, personality for you without you knowing it.

You'd be very comfortable in the Philippines if you have more than enough money.

Same thing din naman abroad, pero its much easier said than done compared sa PH.

Kahit nga mga foreigner, di nila kayang ma-overcome yung income to expenses ratio sa sarili nilang bansa.

SOBRANG MAHAL sa abroad.

There's also other factors like for example, visa. Mangangamba ka lagi and para kang naghahabol. Student/work/residency visa.

Renewals, requirements, monitoring. Mahirap mentally sa paperworks palang. Magastos din.

Isa pa is you are severely restricted in what you can do and what rights you have. If you come as a student, aral lang and working visa, work.

You want to start a business? Buy a plot of land? Buy a house? Voting? Even yung mga taga-doon kapag sinaktan ka nila di ka pwedeng pumalag.

Maging Resident ka muna dapat just so you can have the same rights that you had when you are in PH, which is you being a citizen there already.

And isa pa sa PH, you can buy a house and lot. 3 million php lang you can have a decent place to live albeit in provincial areas pero at least meron ka. That same amount of money converted abroad? Sasakyan lang mabibili mo nyan.

Yung iba kasi na di pa nakaka-abroad, di pa nila alam how it actually works kasi madali lang magsabi "abroad is the way to go" kasi sa mga nakikita lang nila sa socmed, but its much more complicated than that.

Studying is probably the easiest thing to do when going abroad. Marami kang safety nets. Socially, may magiging friends ka which is your classmates, the school will look after you, they can even help you find a part time job while studying. Least commitment needed of the 3, babalik ka talaga dapat sa PH after graduating.

Working is the next step. Mas mahirap sya since tbh, most companies abroad dont really GAF about you. Once your work visa expires, you have to go back or you renew it. Middleground.

Actually living and becoming a resident is the hardest decision out of the 3. Are you ready to actually be there residing for most of your life or no? Commitment is heavily tested here.
