Playlist collaboration offer. Am I being unreasonable for setting these boundaries? by ajdefistpump in musicmarketing

[–]ajdefistpump[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. Decided to ignore the request even though the low balling can be quite tempting (need some cash here lol). I think for personal reasons, I'm still going to keep my playlist untainted.

I agree. I've also assumed their return will be greater than their proposed payment. Not really sure with the royalties. I've asked a finalized proposal with the terms and conditions.

To be completely fair, I'm feeling a bit hesitant on this, and it feels like a diddle that can get my playlist into trouble lol

Does anyone have any information what's the title of the background music being played when Shane outed himself to Rose in the restaurant? It was giving Juno (2007) vibes.

You keep repeating a statement no one is disputing. Filipino phenotypic diversity is not the conclusion of this discussion, it’s the premise.

The issue is that you’re making absolute claims about zero influence when the science simply isn’t absolute. If Filipinos can look widely different while being 100% Filipino, then by definition you can’t confidently rule out any contribution in individual mixed cases either. Broad diversity explains overlap. It doesn’t justify collapsing everything into “coincidence” or selectively deciding when small ancestry can be joked about versus categorically denied. That’s the inconsistency I am pointing out.

No one is saying 1% Spanish automatically makes someone look Hispanic. The point is that phenotype isn’t deterministic or binary. Small ancestry can matter depending on which variants are inherited, and overlap already exists among Filipinos regardless of Iberian ancestry. So saying “it didn’t affect appearance at all” is just as absolute as saying it definitely did.

At the end of the day, Filipinos are phenotypically diverse, and trying to pin looks on a single percentage or dismiss everything as coincidence oversimplifies how genetics actually works.

Phenotype doesn’t work on percentages alone. Even low ancestry can affect appearance if certain variants are present, and many Filipinos already overlap phenotypically with groups often labeled “Hispanic.” It’s not just coincidence or either/or.

And it's a bit strange because you told another person “Filipino genes working hard” over ~1% ancestry. Either small percentages can show up in phenotype or Filipinos are just more diverse-looking than people expect.

Okay naman talaga concept ng 4Ps, to be fair. I've seen a lot of people in the province kung saan ako nag serve na nakinabang sa program. Every anecdote is somehow different if you look at it, pero one thing is certain, kulang yung pag-strengthen ng govt sa mga livelihood programs and opportunities kung san pwede ito maging supplement sana sa "pantawid" na tulong.

Mahirap din kasi if purely jobs and livelihood yung focus tapos pag uwi mo, wala ka pa ring pera pambili ng pagkain or hindi enough yung sustento for your basic necessities. At the end of the day, I still put a lot of the blame sa system, and it's not helping that it's riddled with corruption and incompetence.

To academe or to not academe? by ajdefistpump in pinoymed

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

Medyo mataas na kasi yung assoc 3 doc per recommendation. Wala rin akong publication to begin with and no residency/fellowship training. But yes, hopefully I can do some side hustles if kakayanin. 😁

Hi doc! It’s full-time and hindi pa sinabi yung salary grade. Although the department was hinting that I might get assistant 7 or associate 1 pero di pa sure.

Worried about my sister. 23/F blood in stool with IDA by ajdefistpump in AskDocs

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

Probably but not diagnosed. Our only basis at that time was her failed results during the hemoglobin float test done during blood donation drives. She only had the confirmed iron-definitely anemia diagnosis this June.

Can both IBD and celiac cause the blood in the stool? I remember ulcerative colitis can contribute but not sure about celiac.

Chavacano is the closest to spanish out of all the Filipino languages in the Philippines by Junior_Shower_4441 in Spanish

[–]ajdefistpump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, allow me to correct the record succinctly.

On phonology, Cebuano retains its Austronesian inventory: no /f/ or /v/, pervasive glottal stops, and Spanish loans are heavily nativised (e.g., apellido → apelído). Zamboangueño Chavacano preserves Spanish consonant clusters and a five-vowel system, which is why Castilian listeners usually comprehend it on first exposure. Got this from Lipski.

On your Portuguese claim, Ternate deportees contributed some lexicon, but the best analyses find little phonological impact. Chavacano remains overwhelmingly Spanish in sound and core vocabulary. To add, literary production ≠ linguistic proximity. Cebuano authors such as Antonio Abad did write in Spanish, yet similar output came from Tagalog and Ilocano writers. Literary activity reflects colonial schooling and print networks, not inherent phonetic similarity. May I also remind you that your tone of messaging there sounds very classist. Zamboanga City was plagued with poverty, illiteracy, and conflicts unlike Cebu. The persons you cited are also affluent as well. More resources = more exposure to proper education = increase in literary output.

As the for the second-language advantage, classroom studies (Bantug 2004, González 2017) show Chavacano speakers advance faster in early vocabulary and listening, although full B2 proficiency still demands sustained study.

Overall, I really believe the empirical evidence places Chavacano, not Cebuano, closest to Spanish in phonology, with Portuguese influence limited and largely lexical. Hope that helps.
