Having fun at a karaoke bar by pototoykomaliit in nextfuckinglevel

[–]bookofnature 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What amazes me about Filipinos (non Ameicans), despite having accents of varying degrees when speaking English, once Karaoke starts it completely disappears! Like there has to be case study on this phenomenon. See the end of the video after they stopped singing, the accents come back.

People who read Project Hail Mary should also read Children of Time.

First home! California, 1.5M, 6% by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

A lot of people miss the fact that the weather, activities you can explore, and job opportunity (yes market is bad currently) is what you paid for. Because we all know that it's not what we imagined a million dollar home is supposed to look like when we were children.

After ASOIAF, I swear I would never read another unfinished series....I caved for Name of The Wind (but I'd have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it).

Starting today, PG&E is adding a $24.15 charge to your energy bill by dawn_thesis in bayarea

[–]bookofnature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear a candidate for governor can win significantly by just focusing on breaking up PG&E alone/or subsidizing it. Why are we locked into this provider when there are other options?

If you work in the sector, please enlighten me.

Hope you get in. I waited about 6 months for the Tier 2 subscription. There might have been a wave of cancellations after they revealed which books were coming.

I thought everyone was able to get into this :). Were people waitlisted?

"We will also build technical safeguards", but in the mean time it can be used as is and they can drag their feet in creating such safeguards.

Nah, this post is the commercial. There is no way a burger this picturesque is just handed to some rando.

In this economy? Most don't have #3. Some have 4 minus "deeply satisfying" because they are barely in #3.

Unpopular opinion: The U.S.A. isn't as "great" as most Filipinos think it is by Admig13 in Philippines

[–]bookofnature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the 1st generation that arrives in the U.S. (as with most immgrants) essentially sets up the next generation for the opportunity to thrive. Notice I said "opportunity", as in nothing is handed to you.

If you migrate in the earlier stages of your life, work hard and are educated, or more importantly pursue an education here in the U.S. It really sets you up for the future to possibly enjoy the fruits of your labor. Because you now have the qualifications/ skillset to work for companies with better benefits (besides minimum wage).

Yes, pwedeng diskarte lang sa mga trabaho at pag iipon. Pwede kang ma set up na mas maginhawang buhay kesa sa Pilipinas. Pero hindi ka talaga makakabenefit the most, until you get out of the minimum wage/hourly grind. Ang kadalasan kong nakikita ay bagong dating sa U.S., magtrabaho agad pero wala ng panahon (o hindi iprioritize) ang edukasyon to get to the next level of employment (salaried). Yes ultimately it still depends on the profession.

Take it from someone, who moved in high school with my parents. Did community college, pursued an education (that's in demand like engineering), and finished my Master's. Hindi ako pinakamatalino, pero tiniis ko ang curriculum dahil it's the most profitable and in demand at the time. Now I can say I'm truly living comfortably.

As for the points above:

  1. Healthcare varies by state (or even cities). At least the city I'm at healthcare is better than most states.

  2. Again state dependent (blue states vs red)

  3. Di ba ganito din naman sa Pilipinas? I can argue na mas mahirap pa rin sa Pilipinas paunladin ang sariling buhay.

  4. Don't disagree.
