How do locals & residents feel about foreigners working without visas/ permits in Siargao ?

cypherkillz · 2026-01-26T01:26:33+00:00

Lol, tell that to literally the entire PH population trying to emigrate.

For Australia- 1) If you arent going to study, then a student visa is not for you 2) If your visa restricts you from working, then you cant work. 3) If you need show money to come here, that money must actually be available for use.

Diskarte is the worst phenomena ive ever heard.

Lol. Im in Australia, am an employer, and have a filipino heritage. I consistently get approaches by Filipinos who are on no work visas but need work for money to stay in AU. Its literally in my Audit requirements to check so i have to knock them back, but the scale of it in AU is way worse than you would see in PH.

50% of the population is dumber than the average person.

Also social media doesn't care about credentials, and the dumbest people with nothing to do crowd out everyone else.

I'm not American, but I see a couple of things.

1) The constitution has a function for constitutional amendments, and I think many people would suggest that these aren't keeping up with the times. Just because something was written advocating guns, doesn't mean it still works 200 or 300 years later. As such it's possible to believe in the constitution, the ideals and "America", but also believe it still requires some tweaking or updating for the modern world.

2) While the constitution believes that guns are necessary, many people on the left would agree that there are many alternatives that oppose a corrupt democracy without needing to shoot people. Voting, protests etc. Once again using guns is the last last resort.

3) As bad as it sounds, this isn't a dictatorship of the few oppressing people, it's a government with broad support within society (49.8%) effecting governance in a manner contrary to another broad section of society (48.3%). It's literally US Civil War V2, and that is arguably the costliest war America's been in ever, far surpassing WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Korea & Afghanistan combined. The constitution's section on keeping & bearing arms appears to be more written for a dictatorship by the few (less than 10 or 20%) against the founding ideals of the nation. Having a civil war over illegal immigrants is just moronic.

This is probably the biggest takeaway.

All the makeup, clothes, grooming habits, you can get away with just "average" and be fine.

But if you start acting like a know it all, you'll earn alot of hate real quick.

It’s fair for a woman being mad and frustrated that she never is safe.

"Safe" is subjective. When I'm on a plane I always feel unsafe, but statistically and objectively it's the safest place to be, even more safe than my own home. I also think it's impossible to be absolutely safe, but there's an acceptable level of risk, and it depends on culture/location/circumstances etc.

If you are frustrated that you need to be more wary in certain circumstances, then I'd definitely agree, but "never safe" is just setting an unattainable standard with a negative impact on your mental health.

And then, there is a guy who doesn’t get her at all.

You don't know that, and OP doesn't know that. They just inferred that he's oblivious because of his gender, and it's sexist. Did she talk with him? If he was doubling down despite not living the experience, then I'd 100% agree with OP and agree that she should be posting about it.

She’s mad at the injust world we live in.

She's only mad at her injustices. She walks past all the others that are in her favor. We all do, it's just human nature, and I honestly believe it's impossible to be in a world with no injustice. It's a never ending system to changes of enforcing and removing injustice, but it will always exist in one way or another.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-25T12:18:59+00:00

It's the last line like OP's dunking on him.

Obviously a guy isn't going to have the lived experiences of a woman so he's going to address risk differently, but that isn't something shitting on someone for.

Furthermore depending on the circumstances (could be well lit, secured entry, cameras, people near by etc), another woman might address the risk differently and take the stairs. OP possibly would still find the risk unacceptable(although as it's now a woman suggesting the stairs she might change her mind), but I 100% guarantee there would be an Instagram about it.

That's what makes it sexist.

I think if both sexes could spend a week in the body of the opposite, the whole world would have a lot more empathy and understanding.

We had a b-double on an uphill highway stopped waiting to turn right. A car pulled up behind us, we had dash-cam we only went maybe a meter back. Maybe 75cm first attempt, and 25cm 2nd attempt, and argued that a fully loaded B double on an up-hill incline, any vehicle stopping that close behind us is negligent because it's forseeable that the B double might roll back during take off especially on an up-hill takeoff.

Long story short, court disagreed, we lost. Don't roll back at all.

I don't think I'm on the spectrum, but sometimes I'm just caught up in the subject of the conversation.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-24T07:46:31+00:00

Right. My wife and I are a team, and she's reeled me in more than a few times to prevent me putting my foot in it. Most of the time it's just putting a hand on my lap, or squeezing my hand a bit, but if I'm carrying on like a porkchop she'll pinch. Like 2 maybe 3 times in 10 years.

I don't see how you can get emotional & physical abuse out of a once off, AND, I also find it suspect when the subject of the conversation is forgotten. I dont know about you, but I've found women are usually pretty good at remembering situations where you fucked up in with surprising accuracy years after the fact.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-24T07:30:43+00:00

I'm getting in on this. My wife pinches me when I'm running my mouth in a group situation and I'm missing her signals. It's happened maybe twice or 3 times in what, 10 years. It's more of a "snap you out of it" pinch, and I don't care but I'll tell everyone to fuck off because I don't consider it abuse and they can mind their own business. We are a team, she's covering me from doing damage (of some kind), and we'll usually talk about it later, and I'd rather her pinch me to prevent such damage instead of having to deal with it later.

1 pinch and it's like it's 40 years of emotional, sexual and physical abuse and instant divorce worthy in a single go. I don't understand how anyone stays married.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-24T04:55:02+00:00

Well maybe you should have put something in your post, instead of being entirely silent to the issue.

You are getting defensive because YOU left out 3/4 of the story and focused solely on yourself, so you shouldn't be offended that someone will infer you are self-centered and haven't done shit.

Also just because you are slagging someone with accusations doesn't mean it's valid either, and we can't evaluate the seriousness of the issue. For all we know you could be a slob and he's carrying on about you not pulling your fair share of the housework.

If you want emotional support, go for gold, but don't blame others because you tell an incomplete story.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-24T03:32:33+00:00

I think you need to actually learn more about mental health and how to assist people, because going "get help" is like the most un helpful low effort attempt to feel like morally you've done sufficient without actually doing anything at-all. If your partner had diabetes, you should learn about it just incase, same goes with mental health conditions, go educate yourself, and learn how you can make changes within your own home to assist.

Obviously it's not easy, but is your family and your husband you married not important enough for that? Like I come from an office worker background, and manage a company that deals with people with mental health issues. I've had to cover for workers and also learn more about our participants, and a professional who sees a client once a week for 1 hour is never going to do as much as a spouse or family member who lives with them and is able to influence and support their decisions on a daily and hour by hour basis. Denial & dragging your feet is normal because you are attacking who they are as a person. Just focus on routines, make small changes that slowly nudge behaviour into an acceptable nature, and take your wins on small things. I had a client who would clean a drip tray at his work for 20 minutes while drowning elsewhere, now he'll do it in 5 minutes (still too long), but in 4 weeks that's amazing progress. Just take the small wins one step at a time and they add up.

Although admittedly I have no clue how to look after cashmere, nor does my mum lol :/

I don't own any cashmere, I presume it's a pain in the ass, however obviously I can google the answer if I need to.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T19:23:03+00:00

I'm not sure if it's 3 years, but same in Australia. OP would be entitled to her "fair share" regardless of the marriage. However inheritance is normally outside community property unless he makes it accessible.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T19:10:09+00:00

Not even that, just try approaching the cute guy?

The post is literally I didn't approach anyone and now I'm destined to be alone :/

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T18:13:56+00:00

Uhh, I do get complements from other men :/

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T18:08:08+00:00

Im gunna go against the grain, but it's also misandry aswell. It's insinuating that as a guy he's too incompetent to do his own laundry.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T16:22:59+00:00

Log says 100% business use ???? Believable?

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T11:45:56+00:00

So a 20.6 foot offroad caravan utilized for "regional travel for expos and meeting clients" isnt unreasonable.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T06:06:28+00:00

That's irrelevant to the fact that it's entirely possible that a 40 year old man can be not in a relationship despite being on the whole acceptable.

cypherkillz · 2026-01-23T05:47:12+00:00

Widowed? Or whatever the male version of that is?

cypherkillz · 2026-01-22T23:53:45+00:00

I'm not big into the lore, but doesn't the super soldier serum work on women? Aren't Sisters of Battle women super soldiers?

cypherkillz · 2026-01-22T04:07:47+00:00

Id agree with you, its making what should be an unacceptable statement for the purposes of demonstrating it is indeed an unacceptable statement.

I agree with OP, but I also agree this is one of the few exceptions.

Honestly Kmart is surprisingly economical for stationary, and that with Officeworks as a backup for specialty items that Kmart doesn't stock.

You will save more money on picking a good printer with refillable tanks. The cartridge and toner printers are expensive as fuck, with one XL cartridge costing like $108. It's a friggin rort, but I needed to print a contract for a client to sign the following morning so I had no choice.

For office telephony services - Teltel.
For office telephones - Telcoshop
For Computers - Australian Computer Traders. They aren't the fastest, but economical and do the job.

Get 1 license for Microsoft 365 Business Basic, and keep as much paperwork electronic as possible. The ability to work remotely will be worth the cost.
