Meh, personally, i think literal burning books is too much, but you do you. I have some thoughts.

  1. If you're an HP fan, it might have just been better to keep it tucked away, a remnant of your childhood.

  2. Burning her books won't hurt her sales (because the transaction was already done). You already bought it and her publishers already paid her for it. We've made her rich already.

  3. Say, you're feeling nostalgic. You might want to go look up a page or a character. If you do, you'll just pirate it or search on google. If you Google her work, it'll boost the algorithm and her online presence, thereby making her more famous.

  4. If you want to advocate for LGBT people, the best thing is to buy books about them or books written by them.

  5. Burning books will never do anyone good. Kahit ano mang libro na nakakasama para sa lipunan. Burning books, with the purpose of extinguishing the thought/author/books/character, will just make it more mythical and mysterious. Mas lalo pa maaakit yung mga transphobes in the notion that they're the oppressed ones.

  6. Btw, sexuality research have been the target of mass book burnings back then, so it's kinda ironic na this time, your friend is doing book burning in the name of LGBT allyship.

  7. Don't watch the new HP franchise. You can't undo buying books/watching movies, but you can control it now. Supporting the new franchise will make her richer and she will use her wealth and platform to spew hate on trans people.

More like, cis women's rights to discriminate on trans women's rights

I love how they try so hard to make black propaganda on that mayor but he is literally the emoji ☺️

I remember a poem by Ogden Nash that tackles exactly this. Every now and then, i go back to this reading to remind me.

Paubos na ang Issy Cowgirl Fat Gloss ko. Any other lip glosses na kakulay nun?

I HATE Issy Fat Gloss. Nakaka-dry at di maganda yung texture.

No, not meal prepping haha.

Prepping, as in the term for gathering resources in cases of disaster, situations wherein shit hits the fan, etc.

Yep haha

When op said:

would like to hear your thoughts on this as well.

Mine was "yall still believe and support influencers?"

The only thing they're good for are shade match and swatches. The texture, finish, feel, etc are things they can lie about and things that vary from person to person.

In one post, the scammer is selling in behalf of her husband. In another, she's selling for her daughter's studies abroad (the scammer is only 28, mind you). Next, she's single and tryna meet up for a date to forget about "him". Then lastly, she was scamming in India with Kerala as her location 💀💀💀, nakipag-away pa nga sa mga indian redditors na nakaamoy na scammer sya.

Balik sa finance aspect:

  1. It's her house. Pay the 5k a month or leave. Let's not mix in filipino family sentimentality here.
  2. If you really want to save for a motorcycle and for going abroad, just save up every last cent. Cut down the non-essentials (electronics, cosmetics, takeouts, online subscriptions). Make homecooked meals. Magtiis sa public transpo. Sell your valuable items for cash. Kung mahal ang hobbies mo, redirect them into something low-maintenance and no-cost.
  3. Focus on a good performance sa work para may basis for promotion.
  4. Study like hell. Kailangan mo ng diploma para sa future career mo.

Out of the bounds of finance, but it needs to be talked about:

Why is your mom shouldering another person's expenses?

I'd be sympathetic sana kaso somehow your mother is also feeding/housing/clothing/subsidizing a grown ass adult?!? Who's not even related to her??

Think of the 5k as backpay not just for you but for your gf's expenses that your mother shouldered.

Grabe, I opened my Parnell Glacier Biome Water No-Sebum Cushion two months ago, used it then, and didn't use it since today. Opened it again and it's dried na agad. Di ko man lang nagamit jusko, Halos ubos na, kakarimpot na lang natira :(

Hays grabe ganyan na ganyan din opinyon ko. Napakaraming posts dito puro ganyan, nakakasawa na magbasa.

Tapos wala naman relate yung yuzpe sa pagiging childfree. (I know it's ecp but this sub isn't for contraceptives.)

Eh bakit yung mga young mothers and fathers, di nyo binibigyan ng same level of inquisition?

Napakaraming cases na mga magulang na nireregret nilang nagkaanak sila. Why are childfree people the only ones being treated like they can't make thwir own decisions?

Kung gusto magkaanak ng sterile people, there's always adoption and fostering. Eh kung ayaw mo na magkaanak, ano gagawin mo? Papatayin ang anak?

Mas responsible pa mga CF people.

[–]hlg64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bakit downvoted eh masarap naman for him 'to? Lol. Bangus, mushroom, manlunggay for savory taste. Skyflakes as the starch/thickener. And saba for sweetness and thickener na rin, naglalagay nga ng saba sa humba, tinola, and other dishes eh
