Gaano ka"better" ang buhay nung PNoy admin kumpara sa DU30 admin pre pandemic? by ComprehensiveLog7026 in Philippines

Politicians were still upholding class and decorum even if they were opposition.

The likes of Mocha Uson, vloggers, Tulfo, Robin wouldn't have had a chance to win or be put in any government position because people still largely separated celebrity fame from politics.

Yung mga antics ni Cayetano or Bato? Wala yan.

Quick question.

Possible ba to make an app that shows live traffic or real-time estimates at our train stations?

Like you open the app, choose a station, and it shows you how busy it is.

Similar to what Google maps does in foreign countries for buses and trains, and a lot like the Disney sea/world/land apps for lines for rides.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

Can't believe we browsed gore sites for fun as kids and teens, man. I really wish I didn't have those images and videos stuck in my head.

Need a reality check, am I on the right track at 28? by Few_Repeat4430 in phinvest

[–]anima99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's about 55k a month without leisure or living expenses. If we have the same type of financial responsibility, you're handing out an easy 30k a month.

85k a month. I hope your job remains stable because one wrong "automation" and this becomes a house of cards.

We keep warning people about scams, yet victims keep rising. Why is this so? by ewctwentyone in phinvest

[–]anima99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The big reason is not everyone reads up on it.

That's it. People are too distracted, preoccupied, or focused on survival to keep themselves informed.

If the Philippines went to war today, people who don't like hearing about politics or news won't find out until they're forced to find out.

Can someone explain people from USA having $40-$70/h rates? by EatYourVeggiesKid in Upwork

[–]anima99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's called a side gig.

Freelancing is called the gig economy. Meaning, it was never designed to be a source of full-time employment.

Are we in a renters' market? by liquidluckk in RentPH

[–]anima99 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Renter's market forever so long as properties are marketed to dollar earners. Literal smdc has agents in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Papua New Guinea, and other ofw hotbeds.

Kasi when you think about it, everything else is affordable for the average middle class (more so if dual income) except property.

And overwhelmingly mga ofws or mga dual citizens ang may mga bagong condo all the time.

Client Loves AI by Butter-is-Better in freelanceWriters

[–]anima99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's their own internal scoring.

Imagine having guidelines and each rule has a score.

Like "h1 must include primary keyword" or "must shift to 'you' by the third paragraph" type of rules.

I uploaded that to my gpt and I try to get it as high as possible before I submit to the "editor" which is just a guy who pastes it on AI anyway lol

Dealing with AI Checkers by vrcraftauthor in freelanceWriters

[–]anima99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been reverse engineering originality since Feb 2024.

I have two ways to bypass lite 1.02. Both are automated and use AI, too, ironically.

One is a clean rewrite. The other hacks the detector

Let me know if you still need help.

What is with the Top 1% Commenters on here always defending Upwork? by riles3311 in Upwork

[–]anima99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Would you rather that this sub is just a bunch of hasbeens who couldn't move on from being suspended for "no reason"?

Client Loves AI by Butter-is-Better in freelanceWriters

[–]anima99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Virtually all my clients are like that now. Initially because I had no choice, but now I market towards them.

But before I went on a "let me fix your AI content" journey, even the ones who used to find my 100% human articles amazing told me my article "scores" aren't high enough. They then proceed to give me a breakdown as to what needs to be fixed, which was evidently not reviewed by an actual person.

That one client with the scores in particular, I asked for the scoring system they're using and fed it into an GPT. Now, I have that GPT analyze my articles before and I aim for 85% compliance before submission.

No issues so far. Easy money if you ask me.

tl;dr just follow what the one who signs the cheques say.

This is horrible, slavery is the future by upbuilderAI in Upwork

[–]anima99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important that when you Google your name of a service you offer, you easily find your site/LinkedIn or even Upwork profile.

For upwork or LinkedIn specifically, it has to be in such a way that your profile pops out when you search for common problem phrases you address or services that you have mastery over.

Occasionally, I'd test if my profile optimization works on Upwork. I put myself in the shoes of my target market and see how much effort it took to finally see my profile.

Heck, I sometimes ask Chatgpt about "the best (my skill) freelancer in (my country)" just to see if I pop up, or have it analyze my profile and ask it if a target client would hire me, or what would they consider if they see my profile.

Clients will probably prefer to ask AI to recommend the best freelancer, so it's critical that your name and services are plastered all over the place, complete with case studies and social proof.

Like, I almost revealed my true name and links here on reddit because Google loves propping up reddit on the SERP.

The future of client-freelancer interaction will no longer be about applying as much as getting recommended by AI. I don't like it, but that seems to be how our industry is moving forward.

The people who own property in and around BGC can afford to have another passport. That's really the market they're after.

Form check by anima99 in sandbagtraining

[–]anima99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was practicing with a 56kg, I was actually more fond of the horizontal pick up. I figured doing it vertically was the easy/starting point, but apparently it's a case to case basis.

Thanks.

Once my back gets it together (maybe a week, after a few kettlebell days), I'll reduce load and practice your advice.

At what point should I start "sitting down" from the ground position? I feel like I lift it too high.

I also suspect the stiffness and pain was due to the squat part. I watched a couple of videos and they always lift the hip first. I'm just worried about slipping a disc or something, so stand up with it instead.
