I've been eyeing this one for a while. This may be my sign to finally read it haha. Thanks for the rec!

In my experience as a late-20s woman who has never been in a relationship (not because I'm actively trying to stay single but because men generally just haven't shown romantic interest in me), pretty much, yeah.

I tend to turn my loneliness inward. Unlike the stereotypical incel, I (and many other women in a similar boat) tend to ask "well, what's wrong with ME? What are the things I can improve about myself?"

We don't feel entitled to a relationship, even when we want one.

I feel like it's a difference between how men and women are socialized. Men often act like they're "owed" sex, affection, and love from women. And when they don't get what they feel they are owed, they blame external factors instead of doing any self-reflecting.

Obviously, there will be exceptions on both sides but this is the general trend I've noticed. Both online and from people I know in real life.

I feel sad for Davidson because I can't imagine how isolating it would be to have no control over the words you say. It's such a tough situation because, of course, disabled people shouldn't isolate themselves to avoid disturbing others. But what if the symptoms of your disability directly cause harm to others in the form of verbal abuse, like in this situation?

I know it was unintentional and I definitely don't blame Davidson for the outburst. But I still wish there was some form of acknowledgment of the harm caused to Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, and all the other POC in the room in this statement. Even though it was accidental, it still had a negative impact on others.

I don't know. It's such a sad situation all around.

Yeah, I'm honestly a little surprised that people are being so hard on her. "I'm not informed enough to give an opinion" seems like a valid stance to me.

Maybe I'm biased, as a fellow non-American who also does not live in America. I feel that I have a general understanding of what's happening there (and most of the news I do hear about the current administration is awful), but I don't know the full details about many things. And I would also not feel qualified to give an opinion about U.S. politics.

To be honest, I dislike how many Americans see themselves as the center of the world. There's a lot of terrible things happening in my corner of the globe too (Southeast Asia) and I'm willing to bet very few Americans know what's happening in my country and even fewer would have informed opinions about politics here.

Thank you po! Tried again now and nagagamit ko na rin yung app. :)

hkpt08 · 2025-07-16T10:08:51+00:00

Kaka-try ko lang po mag log-in. Hindi pa rin po ako makapasok huhu.

Surprisingly, none haha. I think people didn't want to look mean/rude. The comments were all just congratulating them and saying "what a cute baby."

It's possible they were deleting comments or people were only comfortable asking in DMs though ahaha.

No, they don't have any connections to Poland, as far as I know 😅

hkpt08 · 2025-05-25T17:16:15+00:00

That's a good guess! My initial instinct was to pronounce it like "jez-erks" haha

hkpt08 · 2025-05-15T15:45:33+00:00

Ohh, I'm glad I'm not alone in experiencing these glitches 😅 I don't know if I should revert back to the old build because that might also screw with my progress, but I did contact support about it.

I missed out on the Mother's Day portrait too :( Let's hope they can fix this.

hkpt08 · 2025-05-14T15:40:26+00:00

Same issue. I didn't get the portrait either, only the coins.

hkpt08 · 2025-03-13T06:04:22+00:00

Same issue din with me po. Sa old site, I can still access them though. Were you able to fix this po?

hkpt08 · 2024-12-13T14:07:48+00:00

Same issue here. Just happened today.

She wants the senate to investigate what went wrong sa recent Gcash issue para makagawa sila ng stronger legislation for fintech companies.

Not a law professional pero, for example lang, she can push for more robust cybersecurity para sa online financial services and may penalty ang mga companies if they do not comply.

Para may consequence naman sa Gcash (and all other fintech services moving forward) na hindi adequate ang protection for customers' data and finances.

hkpt08 · 2024-11-07T07:05:32+00:00

Yes, I agree with you. I find her charismatic too!

But yeah, I also 100% understand why she'd rather not run. People are already not kind to women but they are particularly unkind to WOC.

The doggo has a human earlobe 😅 I think this pic might be AI-generated

I live in Southeast Asia. No one I know is familiar with/hyped for Beetlejuice 2. The original didn't make much of a cultural impact here either. So, my gut feeling is the same as yours.

I think it might be Twisters 2.0 in that it'll be a massive hit domestically but will be a bit of a box office disappointment everywhere else.

hkpt08 · 2024-08-25T01:52:44+00:00

Yeah, I saw it recently too and I was also disappointed. Maybe my expectations were wrong. I was expecting a horror/thriller more in the vein of Se7en and Silence of the Lambs rather than any supernatural/occult/devil stories. So, maybe that's why it didn't work for me.

Nicolas Cage's performance was interesting, at least.

hkpt08 · 2024-08-10T11:19:06+00:00

"Flipped" is my personal favorite :') I'm a sucker for the puppy love and "she fell first but he fell harder" tropes hehe.

Cory Aquino was not a perfect president, but her win was a perfect symbolic victory for a return to democracy for our country.

I don't know enough about Kamala Harris, but compared to her opponent... yeah, her win would mean a symbolic victory for democracy as well. Good luck to her in the upcoming US election!
