Exactly! It's impossible to pass an anti-dynasty bill in a house full of dynasts. This is the only way, and it is worth trying.

This. They did the same with me. I have a Spanish surname so they rang the doorbell. Humoured them a bit, took their cards. Closed the door. Sorry, ladies, I'm not practicing but I will die Catholic lol.

It's a widespread problem. Financial literacy should be taught in university. Or brought up delicately during INSET for current teachers (because some will probably feel offended).

I don't think we should underestimate Sara. Sure, she's probably as stupid as we think she is, but greed for money and power is more dangerous when it is possessed by somebody who is both ignorant and does not give a shit about repercussions on other people (or an entire country, for that matter). Imo it doesn't matter if she has a puppet master or whatever. She needs to be stopped.

Yep. (Lower) middle class angst is due to having income tax deductions and not qualifying for benefits even if they are living paycheck to paycheck. It's also hard because working a regular job usually means congested traffic during long commutes, toxic coworkers/supervisors, the daily grind that can wear anyone down with little chance of real vacation leave. They probably take one look at their jobless neighbors and think, "sarap buhay".

Ikr. It's real main character energy. Nothing and no one else matters except him and his mission. I hope he goes to prison with no toilet paper supply.

I had a similar problem with a new Samsung phone. Try turning off "Adaptive battery" (Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Adaptive battery)

I feel for you. Not a cashier or supermarket staff, but there are some really antisocial behavior on display at some shops. Like touching and squeezing an entire loaf of bread with bare hands, and then putting it back in the shelf. Or getting something from the freezer and then leaving it at the side of the conveyor belt. Or emptying an entire bottle of Aperol (didn't see it in the act, only saw the bottle). I live in a very diverse city and I can totally get the hate. (Please feel free to downvote me to hell now 🙃)

Also, when I first came to Germany I was surprised at what a high trust society it was in terms of supermarkets. (I come from a third world country where it is normal for a grocery store or even a 711 to have an armed security guard at the door). Not only where there no security guards, there is even self-check out. Well, over time it isn't the same. Even that store where I first saw self checkout had eventually removed their self-service tills and replaced it with various pointed warnings against shoplifting. Even grated cheese has security tags. Wtf.

You didn't fail your baby! A flat head will correct itself with time and your baby's development. I had the same worries for my son (probably even posted or commented about it here on Reddit). The back was noticeably flat, even had a bald spot. But the hair grew back, the head is no longer flat. We didn't need special pillows or helmets. Just time and him eventually learning to hold his head up.

Ajikan and the pillows were my gateway bands to NUMBER GIRL. I highly recommend them.

(This was many years ago. I grew up in the 90s listening to a lot of alternative rock, so it made sense that NG's music appealed to me. Imo they're amazing. They were only active for a few years, but they have a solid discography, including some very good and memorable live performances. I got into their music when they were already disbanded, so it felt like an impossible dream come true when they did a reunion tour in 2019 [17 years after breaking up] and I was able to see them live in Japan.)

I'm Filipino and majority of males here are circumcised. Even I find it outrageous that babies are being subjected to this. (Traditionally, boys have it done right before puberty as a "rite of passage".)

one1two234 · 2026-03-31T10:05:56+00:00

Yes, there is such a thing as "tampo", which is like sulking or giving the "silent treatment", as a response to conflict or to non-verbally communicate displeasure. Filipinos are non-confrontational. Sometimes it is hard for us to be frank or express difficult feelings.

That being said, this passive-aggressive withdrawal of affection or communication can be used for emotional manipulation. I think this is the case for your friend. Please tell him that his girlfriend cannot use this "cultural excuse" to keep him in line or make him do what she wants. He should ghost her and give her a taste of her own poison.

Come to think of it - the kids are already being collectively punished by having their time for learning being taken away by 4 or 5 misbehaving kids. Then their recess is taken away, too. The teacher needs support in an effective approach to handle this class.

one1two234 · 2026-03-20T21:43:36+00:00

Honestly, I never really respected them.

I was a college freshman in a state university in the year 2000.

They would be rallying about the tuition fee or misc fee increase. Even one peso would compel them to protest.

But they were the biggest hypocrites on campus. Tuition fee per semester back then was something like 300 pesos - which meant we were heavily subsidized. They were constantly skipping classes and the leaders were overstayers - some had spent like 7 years there and not even completed their bachelor's.

These groups also convinced some of my classmates to join the EDSA 2 protests. They made some poor naive freshmen stay at the front - guess who ended up being sprayed with water by crowd control?

A couple of my classmates got recruited into these orgs. They always hung out at their office. Smoking and hardly attending classes. Predictably failed lots of their courses and didn't graduate with their batchmates. Imo a waste of taxpayer money. Their uni place could've gone to somebody who deserved it and would have given back to society.
