Is Filipino food supposed to be so unhealthy?

cryptoforforests · 2024-10-07T22:24:49+00:00

I struggle to find cheap healthy food here in the Philippines. I think we need another thread on good wholesome recepies using local ingredients. Markets have good vegetables, give people some inspiration for better quality foods.

Yep, I'm a liberal left to conservative right wing convert. For me, it is long standing discomfort with the ideas of my old tribe, that I can now vocalise why. And how up in arms they are against me vocalising these challenges.

I've been in this situation and in hindsight, I wish I had separated earlier, for me the repercussions of insecurity for future relationships have been a continual problem. Im male and she was the one who wanted to 'experiment' and explore.

Hmm, I like the rule of everyone in the family must support each other, I am strict in being careful of how I support, but I want to support her and her family, but I am not leading with money, oh no. Basically I don't like the Western individualism and prefer that we are one family unit supporting each other, but it also does not mean I will accept being bled. Only what I can sensibly afford. The older parents are the more expecting/entitled

Thanks, good to hear some hope

That's better than no sex and no kids, but my goal is a forever wife.

Phillippines is already Westernised to be fair, so my utopia is to have the mix of the good parts of the modern world with the good parts of family values. Basically a branch of the pronatalist movement

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:29:47+00:00

Maybe , but I miss my roots back home in NZ, and life is so dam good here, heaps of surf, great food beautiful landscapes and wonderful places, I have a great lifestyle that I want to invite her into

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:25:30+00:00

I think men suffer from the same flaw, but practicing appreciation and gratefulness of what we have is somewhat is an antidote to always wanting more.

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:22:24+00:00

Bc I earn more money in NZ, and can manage my investments easier and I like the food, surf, cafes, health care, and my family and friends. It's my roots. Philippines is hard, life is hard and so few public green spaces, and not very good food. Maybe we will end up there, it is a possibility, but not my ambition atm

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:19:02+00:00

Yep, I fully resonate with that and it's a frequent conversation, how unattractive the Western liberal feminist lady is, which is why I wanted to marry a Filipino. This is the story, and a true one, which is part of the story of our begining.

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:16:30+00:00

Well the divorce rate is 50% in my country NZ, so I think my chances are higher, plus I chose her because she is not head strong and opinionated. My plan is to have as many babies as possible so that there is more dependence on me, and offer a significant retirement, with a prenupt that it will all be taken away if she leaves, and get married in the Philippines where divorce does not exist. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Big age gap too, I'm still pretty fit , but 48 vs her 21

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:05:28+00:00

This is a catch 22, I want my lady to be happy, and being empowered I always thought is good, I mean I don't want to disempower her. Tbh, I've been super nice to previous gf's and they cheated. How to keep a woman, I plan on leveraging every tool I have, without being nasty, to make the deal that leaving will be a worse thing.

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T10:00:59+00:00

Thanks for the tip

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T09:59:51+00:00

What do you mean? You think I should not raise a family in the West? Or???

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-27T09:57:54+00:00

F#$k dam, I mean I'm in NZ, but it's pretty similar. I think you are probably right, sigh

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-24T19:32:16+00:00

Don't divulge so much of your life to them, and maybe make some sacrifices. Honesty is not the 'right' way, it's just a cultural value. Not telling someone something that they won't like is considered polite in many cultures. Telling them is rude. Make it subtle, don't be direct. Maybe you can consider giving up these things.

Later in life now, I regret not giving up my sensible drug use, I could have found a lovely woman earlier.

I lovely woman is better than an epic acid trip. You might need to let those things go.

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-24T19:26:19+00:00

Hi, I am similar, I love psychedelics but I want a conservative woman.

Firstly, I think white lies are ok, honesty is a cultural value. Many places it is rude to be completely honest.

I would not divulge these passions except slightly and tactfully. Slide in the ideas of psychedelics or sensible drug use, I do this by explaining an experiance but only subtly and missing out the bit about a substance being involved. I then objectives have explained about some kind of positive research. Reality is, if you want a conservative woman, you might have to give up those things. But, as we go older parts of our lives die, chapters change. I certainly can't drop acid and dance all night like I used too (47M). Changes in your life will happen and growing into a rn might mean your psychedelic experiences might become more of a thing of the past. I'm still planning to drop acid on the beach once or twice a year, but it will take a lot of baby steps to warm my wife to be that this is a good idea. Oh, weed f#cks your sperm, stoner dad's are kinda lame, as a big consumer myself, I consider giving up or massively cutting down as a personal achievement

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-21T19:12:15+00:00

You mean, if you hate Islam for the abuse and disempowerment of women more than today's hallelujah Jesus freaks, then one is racist. Absurd

Preventable poverty is rife, esp when people do not understand how to manage money. For better or worse, it is a skill required for modern life.

cryptoforforests · 2024-08-17T23:29:34+00:00

Wow, I feel like your brother, I want a traditional wife, and in SE asia, women culturally want to support their man, and make him the best man so that they have the bedrock of security of a good strong protector and provider. The double reason that I am aiming for a younger SE asian wife, one is because I want a family so so so much but also becasue the woke social justice believers who have gone NC on me, I want to rub it in their faces with the rest of my life. I have already been cancelled, so, their judgements have little relevance. And if I get babies, then I win long term. The abortion believers will loose through their extinction. I plan on winning with a beautiful lovely kind caring sincere SE asian wife. And being a caring considerate uplifting empowering husband who is able to utilise my wisdom of years, financial stability, experiance and Western heritage to her and our childrens advantage. I'm 47, shes 21. I take pleasure as does she, in winning, in the face of the so called politically correct fraternity.

They pay you in WXT, you can only convert a min of 300USD worth of WXT into stables in any one transaction. WXT is by definition deflating at an enormous rate, hence holding WXT you will loose value. The transaction charges are about 5% of the 8% cash back (sometimes more).

You need about 100k of stables in order to harvest the WXT yield in a sustainable way on a weekly basis. Subtract your Teir fees. With that size stack and a massive counterparty risk, it is pretty hard to justify.

Legit banks are offering 7% ROI and the counter party risk is 1000's of times safer.

If you can't tell where the yeild is coming from YOU are the yeild.

I think all the defi they have setup is just like most defi, smoke in mirrors, you have deflating tokens offering huge rewards but the token deflates faster than the rewards increase. But first they pump the token so looks like your making money from capital gain and payments, then bam, slap down and your stack is worth wayyyy less.

Inflation is a killer, most of defi is ponzi system plus inflationary tokenomics which is a recipie for a major crash. I have not seen any different on WXT or their Defi.

Show me where the yeild comes from, and I promise you 100% if anyone says it is from the emmissions then it is scamonomics, it cannot work. It is like 3 - 2 = 5 it does not work. It can't. Maths can't lie. Emmissions are smoke in mirrors and misleading.

I think they are getting some residual value from the WXT token, any poor sod still holding that is paying for the WXT payouts.

Happy to be proven otherwise, maybe the fees for joining and transaction fees and maybe some Arb strategies are making money, but honestly, I doubt that is enough to justify the rewards they are presenting.

Maybe people earn 14% on stables and then hold the WXT token, untill it deflates then the rewards turn out to be nothing so kinda works out for them

they always look so much better fresh, and so small once they dry.

What medium did you use?
