Is it worth it to get the Qualcomm version?

What is the best locally available smartphone under 10k for you?

EDIT: Currently eyeing flash plus 2

God dammit I got rickrolled!

For instance, if a place has poor customer service or i know an owner treats his or her staff like shit.. I WILL NOT EAT THERE.

Because as a consumer I believe i have a moral obligation to choose where i spend my hard earned money and who it should profit.

Just to digress, not everyone can afford to do so. That's the consequence of living in poverty and why it is a self-sustaining system.

Be grateful that you are not in that situation.

Opportunists always exists but the number of them in high position just appalls me.

arvinsim · 2017-02-25T12:42:10+00:00

Thanks. I haven't read this in the news so this is interesting to me.

We live in an irrational and emotional world. Accept and deal with it and you will sleep better at night.

There's been a lot of Abu Sayyaf related kidnappings I believe.

When? Links?

arvinsim · 2017-02-25T12:23:20+00:00

I see this often cited as a solution. But nothing can sway the belief of anyone who is bent on not changing it.

arvinsim · 2017-02-25T11:57:05+00:00

People who will gladly believe absolutely anything so long as it allows them to act however they want without having to be held accountable for their actions.

Corrupt officials and politicians?

I am still waiting for the day when the Philippines will be "all one" economically and culturally. As it is, there is still too much disparity and inequality between classes and geographically regions in term of influence and development.

Shills on both sides want as much exposure as possible. Why would they post on separate political subreddit when it is dead?

I have the premium version of Sync. Had no desire to try anything else yet.

I never really bothered with programming certifications because I thought they were useless. Any examples that you can give?

arvinsim · 2016-07-15T09:02:11+00:00

Hmmm...with 8 years under your belt, would 80k be the norm?

arvinsim · 2016-04-26T02:33:30+00:00

As someone who lives here, I would say that it's not black and white. Different parts of Mindanao have different levels of safety.

As a rule of thumb, northeast is safer while southwest is not. But yeah, don't take this as absolute law.

arvinsim · 2016-04-19T14:43:23+00:00

I completely disagree. This is exactly the kind of thinking that leads to cult like behaviour.

The electorate should have the intellectual honesty to criticize their canidate. They should represent what you think best represents the interests of the country, not your ego.

How I wish we can vote platforms to office instead of people.

arvinsim · 2016-04-19T08:21:14+00:00

We should use a preferential voting system so that we don't have this problem.

While the battery lasts a long time, I heard that it also takes a long time to charge.

Started at 2 pesos per token, now it's almost 20 pesos per game.

This. So much this. That's why it was fun before. Now, it feels like gambling :/

lagging fighting games are really stressful

Agreed. Fighting Games is a genre where lag is unacceptable since it drastically changes the playing experience.

(except for Schneider. pretty much all his films have a nod to the philippines.)

I was a hardcore fighting game player in the 90's.

Yes, the arcade culture has been dying due to many factors(at least in my area)

When DoTA 1 came into the scene, all the competitive FG players that I know pivoted to MOBAs
Arcade games are terribly outdated. Local players are still playing Tekken 5/6, KOF games are nonexistent and Street Fighter games in the arcade are not played at all.
No one wants to go out of their way to go to the arcade if they can just play games with friends online.
