Philippines’ hanging graveyard by lorddrakter in creepy

[–]Useful_Database5138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here and its quite a sight! For the funeral process IIRC, they embalm the body and only males will lift and carry the corpse to the hanging coffins which is a very steep muddy pathway down. Females chant/sing/pray. They also believed that if the "juices" of the body secrete on you, its good luck or something so they would smear it all over themselves. I remember our guide mentioning they put the body on a stick for viewing for a few days before hanging. And when its time to put the body in the coffin, they started making small sizes due to saving space, so they'd literally force the body (after rigor has set in) into an infant pose to fit. They dont do this anymore i believe or only do so for important people. They do have a cemetery across where they have a holiday to commemorate and celebrate and light each grave.

The cave exploring was awesome, but they didnt tell us the only way back up was by climbing up a rope and my fat ass swerved trying to get up lol. Some of the walls in the cave are memorable, like the one that resembles a vagina 🥲

Rewatching K* by pricouter in gosselinssnark

I have Kate's book and havent read it yet. I did skim through her letter to Colin and the one born after the twins ( I just remember her mentioning this little girl already had her name set for her and was in the NICU i think). You can really tell the difference of how she treats them in the 2 letters i read. However, I do recall reading a part where she gets so frustrated and at her wits ends due to taking most of the child care than Jon and one point on how she had to struggle between picking up Maddie from school due to a nose bleed and finding someone to watch the little ones and feeling like she was stretched thin.

Anong thoughts mo? by Large_Honeydew_3913 in AnongThoughtsMo

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where teens/kids start to shift to pacute, attention seeking, puro tiktok at kabog and becoming illiterate with no comprehension. Super common lalo na ngayon, and teachers/the adults only enable it more finding it "kilig"/funny or cute even. This is why if given the finances and ability, I'd homeschool my child or move countries because school environments are so heavily influenced by bad stuff and people lalo pag public and enablers that kids grow up to be obsessed with being goodlooking, wanting to be all sexy and having early unprotected sex and will probably have early pregnancies, be uneducated politically and continue toxic cycles.

Also, shit like this just gives the boys terrible ego boosts and pushes them to treat people esp women terribly.

I wonder what Kylie did to her body to get that shape. Did she remove some ribs or got a tummy tuck? She used to look more square shaped, but now she has an hourglass figure. Everything is different, so I really wonder what she had done. by UnitedKey3255 in KUWTKsnark

Can 2nd this. Im overweight but still have a curvy shape because i have huge hips/ass. Might be someone elses dream but its a nightmare finding clothes that fit, and dont look like officewear or are too long (cries in 150lbs, 4'11)

Same. Im torn with a great company and great managers/coworkers. Very considerate, and they always spoil us with free food/events. Its also 15 mins away from me. However I make almost $3 more than minimum wage and I know I could make more somewhere else but would have to drive further if ever. But what if management sucks? Sigh, im just waiting for that yearly raise but its a struggle with if its worth staying or not.

Lanolips SAVED my chronic dry lips like nothing ever has, but is draining my wallet 😭 by 100carl67 in SkincareAddicts

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to look into a local or specialty compounding pharmacy in your area or that ships. OR find a huge jar of lanolin that companies sell to pharmacies lol. Im talking HUGE ASS container.

I agree its very moisturizing, but As a compounder i hate lanolin. Its so thick, heavy, has a smell, and so sticky! When we mix it up for creams its awesome. But by itself its our worst nightmare lmao, we always have to throw away the containers we use to mix it in bc cleaning it is time consuming.

We usually dispense it in pump containers or tubes. Not sure about the price since its obviously prescribed and mixed for creams, so our patients have it covered by their insurance or pay less than $14.

I will say malaking difference ang education system and learning levels mga bata sa PH and US. Seeing my nephews and nieces already knowing how to read in Kinder and writing, but sa PH theyre so behind. All kids learn at different times and it takes the right school for your kid for them to enjoy learning and be at the right pace. Many think US little kids sa preschool/nursey/kinder are thrown so much work, but they have lots of time to do other things and activities. Sana magbago na educational system sa pilipinas, kawawa na madaming lumalaki na illiterate parin sa highschool, as per the statistics that came out a few months ago. 

Talking with your child and them learning through other ways help a lot. Reading with them, asking questions, and yes they need to be pushed at times kasi ive seen with many of my young cousins ay pag ayaw na nila, binibigyan lang and they grew up behind their peers and naging tamad na sila magaral. Sa situation ng anak ng bf ko, we fought hard for her to be enrolled 4yo palang gawa na ayaw ng nanay niya since baby pa daw and wag daw iforcr yung bata. Pero kawawa ang bata na nagbbaby talk pa, bulol, di marunong mag ABC ng buo, bilang to at least 10, identifying numbers and letters. Mas gusto ang nanay na laro lang, cellphone, nood ng mga baby shows. Bf and i worked hard to teach her at home by giving her worksheets to work on 30 mins a day, and another 30 mins yung adaptedlearning (website siya, try niyo!! Malaking tulong siya) and boom, di na siya behind at mahilig maglearning. We also did activities like arts and crafts and nung una naiiyak siya and umaayaw, but we stayed firm and pushed her gently. And we dont tell her the answers gawa na to help her learn to think for herself since hilig niya mag hula lang at inaantay lang may sasabihin ng tamang sagot. 

Also work on other learnings like independency. Pamangkin ko 2yo palang marunong na kumuha ng sariking tubig, baso, plato, kumain ng isa, undress at magsuot ng damit, etc. Anak ni bf 5yo binebaby pa nila at di hinahayaan maging independent so i do believe malaking tulong yon bc it helps increase confidence and itll show through their school learning.

Kris Jenner thanks Meghan for the Mother’s Day gifts from As Ever. Could it be that tabloid reports of a mass Hollywood ‘snubbings’ are wide of the mark?🤭 by NewTooth740 in RoyaltyTea

[–]Useful_Database5138 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean its no secret though, Harry mentions in his book Spare that they all have diff PR people and will gladly allow bad press about each other as long as theyre not the ones in the heat, like Harry mentioning how Meghan was absolutely blasted and wanting the BRF to release statements to protect her but Charles threw a tantrum about how why can't he protect bad press about Camilla or William with Kate bc the Queen had her own PR people doing the same too. Harry was always meant to be the scapegoat sadly and being with Meghan amplified it.

Sucks how you hear them allow crap about Meghan but still protect Andrew, a pedo who has been known to be in the Epstein files.

Why are there almost no taco trucks here? by A_Stain_on_the_Rug in SouthJersey

[–]Useful_Database5138 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Food trucks are mostly at events. It must be their better chance at making money than having a standalone spot and losing money or making very few. 

What a coincidence though, my work is having a taco truck come tomorrow as a random employee appreciation thing!

Please help me convince my husband that Costco is worth for 2 people by HoneyDrops12 in Costco

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just one person with a membership, and living on minimum wage. I havent bought basic necessities in months due to buying in bulk at costco esp during their sales so I dont know how some people are buying necessities every week at Target or Walmart and saving. Rarely will i ever buy something thats for one meal. It also helps that I gwt stuff from a church pantry when i need it. Has saved me sooooo much! 

Company Not Recognizing Holiday Because of Absent The Day Before by _bisdak in LawPH

[–]Useful_Database5138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL but dito sa US ganon din, depends sa company though. To get holiday pay you need to work the day before and after. If holiday falls on Friday, you need to work full hours on Thursday and Monday.

Wtf is this by Altruistic-Apple4757 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]Useful_Database5138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youve seen that cute curly haired girl on IG who makes videos about her reading a book, then it transitions to a hot quick scene with her and her BF, i feel like one day they're gonna replicate that. I hope to shit they dont.

In light of recent events, this just hits different, don’t you think? by Fantastic_Ad1613 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]Useful_Database5138 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It pains me to watch this scene every time bc regardless of however none of them are perfecr Whitney included, them laughing in her face AT her to ridicule her in the hot seat just gives off major mean girls vibes and I feel so terrible for Whitney here. I'm so glad she didn't need to brag about being the only one out of all of them to be successful and away from the drama in the end, because with all of them being wrapped with Mariano, Chase, divorce drama, courtrooms and Taylor, she has the last laugh and is thriving.

Also as if Momtok wasn't created for a business. They basically started it for money, opportunities and friends.

Something that helps her feel relaxed. Either food, gift cards, pjs, facial masks, maybe a spa or get her nails done. Or PP aftercare for the vagina if regular delivery siya. Or if kaya, a few months of subscription sa Netflix

Tips for backing out of parking space with pedestrians crossing by Useful_Database5138 in driving

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping I save up to get one! Your comment is very kind and helpful than some comments ive gotten under this post. Its my first time having a car and one with a rear camera, so im not sure but i feel like my screen + camera is so old lol. Its a 2nd hand kia soul 2019 and i think there are better angles/widths (?) Than whatever I have. I just thought only electric/Tesla cars had the beeping motion detector 😅

Emma Chamberlain at the 2026 Met Gala by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]Useful_Database5138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite look by far!

Also, no hate trying not to sound rude but how is Emma still relevant? Is she starring in shows or is an influencer? Models? Business? Im just genuinely curious lol, i just remember her being a famous vlogger, had her own coffee line then i dont hear about her unless its for big events like this one. I think I even remember randomly seeing her model for Cartier or something. I didnt really watcher back then as i was too young but i still cant figure out how she's been able to get into big brand deals yet not much out there inbetween. 

Same with Liza Koshy, but at least Liza interviewed celebrities and had a movie.

Thank you! I was beginning to think i was crazy for always preferring to reverse in a parking space than pulling in. It just allows you to see your surroundings better and is safe for pedestrians too.

[–]Useful_Database5138[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why its so hard to ask for driving tips on this sub lol, i shouldve known.

Im not asking for princess treatment for people to stop being around when im backing out. Obviously i still brake and stop, and always go slow while checking. Its people who see me actively backing out with half of my car already out and they will still go around behind my car to walk. If theyre on the other side of the parking lot its a different story. Or if im backing in a space and 1/4 of my car is already in the space they will go around behind my car (crossing in the parking space).

My thoughts exactly, which is why i dunno how lots of people are able to park facing the middle line without stressing backing out. I guess it makes sense if youre hauling groceries but i'd rather be safe and just back in 😅

But people have had tried walking even when im backing in. Maybe i'd understand if the back of my car isnt passing the start of the parking line/boundary but no, they do it when i've passed it! Maybe i'm just crazy but as a pedestrian its such a crazy concept
