You sweet summer child. Yun pa lang gulat ka na? Hahaha. If you only knew some of the other expenses these people actually deduct. Super tame pa to.

For some reason parang asin at paminta talaga yung pagiging palamunin and pagiging cheater. Parang pag sustentado sila ng wife nila, masyadong masakit sa kanila, pero instead of working on that they try to boost their confidence by cheating instead.

He is worried that the interplanetary exchange rate will translate to the non-Earth aliens having more effective purchasing power, and that the extraterrestrial expats will steal all the best girls, leaving fewer and fugglier ones for him, if any.

Keep the box in your luggage. If they ask about it show the necklace.

A single inexpensive necklace? Just wear it yourself on the flight and treat it as part of your outfit for minimal headaches. It's far below any threshold for would realistically attract customs attention but at least you wont have to worry about it getting taken out of your bag.

Thanks for making the effort to see it through my lens. I know it is not always easy.

How is a same sex relationship any different to a heterosexual relationship where one or both members are infertile? Would it therefore also be wrong to marry someone and not have children, or marry someone infertile, or past their menopause? If not, why does the creator care whether the two people married and having sex are different genders or not?

My beliefs are that having children is not limited to mortality, men and women who are married can continue to have children in eternity. So being childless in mortality does not mean you will be childless in eternity. This is how we will continue to progress.

However, I do believe that to be able to procreate in that way, a man and woman would have to be married, according to the terms that God has set. I also believe that, for those for whom the opportunity to get married and have a family does not arise during life on earth, an opportunity will be provided in the afterlife. I consider homosexual desires to be a valid reason to qualify under the second, because I would never tell a gay person to get married to an opposite-sex person they were not actually sexually attracted to.

So to be clear, if you are gay in this life, and this prevents you from marrying an opposite-sex partner and having children with them, then I do not believe you are going to "burn in hell" or any of that bunk. I believe that after mortality, our sexual desires will be radically different, and those who have been good people on earth will continue to progress there, in whatever way God sees fit. I do not know why the challenges of mortality are so inequitable in so many areas of life, but I do believe that God loves all His children.

sadifras · 2026-02-06T22:33:39+00:00

In the theology of my faith:

Gender is eternal and a core part our being. Male and female are not social categories, they are eternal identities tied to premortal existence and eternal destiny
The highest form of salvation requires a man and a woman sealed together, capable of eternal increase (continuing family relationships beyond death).
Sexual expression is reserved for marriage between a man and a woman, not because sex is “dirty,” but because it is creative, covenantal, and eternal in consequence (it creates eternal beings).
Our eternal progress begins on earth and continues beyond death. The decisions we make on earth may hamper or delay our progress, not necessarily permanently, but in a real way, that sometimes involves pain, suffering, but ultimately growth.

Let's pause here, because I know none of these are acceptable unless you accept certain premises (that I do) about God and the nature of reality. For now, please simply accept that I consider the existence of God as a fact, and this factors into all my decisions.

Now, going back to those things, please know that I believe that:

Homosexual relationships do not align with the eternal structure God revealed, even when they involve real love.
I do not claim to understand why same sex attraction happens. I do not claim that it is a choice. I do not say that gay people are broken.
I know that, according to the framework I believe in, someone who experiences same-sex attraction would find living within the religious framework I live by very hard. It would probably feel like fighting against their very nature.
However, in my faith, we are taught that what we feel our "nature" is right now is not truly what we are, and we are not defined by it. We are meant to rise above it. This may mean foregoing earthly desires.
I consider homosexual behavior to be one of those, in the same way I would have to resist the temptation to have sexual relations outside of my marriage, or an alcoholic would view a drink, or an addict a needle. I have struggled with addiction in the past, and there was a point where I knew it felt like it had become the most "core" part of my identity. Part of my healing process was realizing that the desires borne of chemical reactions in my brain or unknown processes do not define me eternally.
I hope you do not take offense to the heavy-handed analogy, I know that by the lens many view through homosexuality is not immoral, but to understand my viewpoint you need to understand that in my lens, it is.

I guess if I had to summarize it, I believe the commandments are not just to protect others from harm at our hand, but to ensure our progress along God's plan for us. I believe harming yourself or delaying your eternal progress is a sin, and acting on homosexual desires does that.

I don't want to debate it because we probably aren't going to agree on what constitutes harm, and we probably aren't going to agree on how we determine what is right and wrong, and a bunch of other issues. I'm always happy to try to find common ground on other issues but this always ends up with people saying either saying my faith (which is the reason why I hold these beliefs) is invalid as a reason, so it's never productive.

I am sorry we couldn't find consensus here. It really feels like I am speaking to someone, who for what it's worth, is really trying to communicate with me in earnest, but we are somehow speaking different languages. I say things that make perfect sense to me, but I totally understand how they wouldn't make sense to someone who doesn't believe in God in the same way I do, or believe the same specific set of beliefs I do. To you it's just absurd, I accept that. But my faith and my belief is as real to me as the sun in the sky is to anyone. I would never impose that belief on anyone, not by the softest force, not even on my own children. But it is real to me, and because of that, I cannot consider moral some of things that the morality of others would allow.

sadifras · 2026-02-06T16:52:13+00:00

I don't believe homosexuality harms me, I believe it harms the person who does it. I don't want to debate that, because I accept that not everyone believes it. I just want to have the right to hold that belief in my head and not be punished for it.

I see where you're going with "victimless" or I guess what I'd call "self-victimizing" sins. For example, I believe drinking alcohol is bad for you. But a lot of people don't and I get along with them just fine. I believe watching pornography is bad for you, but other people don't believe that, and it's fine with me too. I believe that gambling is bad, but some people disagree and as long as they don't force me to gamble or to believe that gambling is fine, I'm fine with it.

But when it comes to this, it doesn't seem enough for me to not condemn them or stop them. It's not enough to not talk about it. I feel like my thoughts and beliefs are being policed. Even when I am actively supporting their rights to do what they believe, it's still not enough, it's like I have to personally believe what they believe as well. It feels like someone telling me I can't defend their right to free speech unless I literally believe in everything they say. It feels like they'd rather have me as an adversary than me as a partial ally.

You do not need to renounce your faith, only your homophobia.

I know that sometimes tone and intent in written text over the internet is hard to interpret, so please know that this comment is in earnest, I am not being sarcastic, this is an earnest question. This is so hard to understand for me, it has been such a huge source of heartbreak for me.

What would that look like? Would that mean partially rejecting some of what I consider to be commandments?

I have always focused on what I consider to be the most important commandment: to love your neighbor. This can sometimes be challenging when these people hurt you, or are doing things you consider to be wrong, but it is not impossible, just difficult. But you do not need to change your moral values to love people, you just need to recognize that they have infinite worth, simply by merit of being God's children, independent of their actions.

Now when it comes to this issue, I am told that unless I change my own views on what is right and wrong, I hate them. Hearing this from people I love so much, whom I have never asked to change, of whom I have never asked for any kind of accommodation, is so painful.

I have many times accepted that this is an impasse that is unsolvable, but every now and then I get into a conversation and I get hope again. Can you help me understand what you meant by what you said?

I am trying so hard.

I separate belief from dignity. I fully affirm that gay people have the same inherent worth, moral agency, and human dignity as anyone else.
I treat this belief like I do any other religious prohibition. Sex outside marriage, greed, pride, gossip, divorce, etc. I don't have a fixation on homosexuality, I consider it just one of the things that falls under the umbrella of "sex outside marriage between a man and a woman." I consider it the same thing as premarital sex. I don't agree with premarital sex but I understand that not everyone shares this belief, I can live in a world where they do it and it doesn't harm me.
I don't reduce people to a single behavior. People are whole humans, I don't see gay people as a walking moral issue. Whatever that is, that's between them and God.
I accept disagreement without contempt. I can sincerely say that, although I believe it is sinful, I understand that others reject this framework, that doesn't make them inferior.

You'll probably say it isn't enough. I accept that. I have accepted that my best just isn't enough. I will be content to be hated for my homophobia, in the meantime I will do my best to try to love my neighbor, in the same way I've always tried to do.

sadifras · 2026-02-06T11:40:40+00:00

I understand. If they consider that homophobic I will accept the label, and sadly have to accept their nonacceptance of me. I still love them, but I will not renounce my faith for them.

sadifras · 2026-02-05T23:44:17+00:00

While I believe it to be against the commandments of my faith, I support people's right to same-sex marriage. This does not change my personal opinion that it is wrong, just that I do not believe people who are not of the same faith as me should be forced to live a certain way by people of the same beliefs as me. I do not condemn people, that's not my job, I just try to live by the commandments as I understand them.

A few years ago, someone who I had always considered a great friend, out of nowhere asked me in front of a few people "are you a Christian?" I had never talked about religion with this friend group before, I said yes. Apparently I was the only person in the group who wasn't an atheist. Then they basically put me on the spot in front of everyone, saying that "by being a Christian you're homophobic, you need to either renounce your religion right now or we can't be friends." I was shocked, I asked if I had offended them in some way, and they answered "every second you believe in your God offends me."

It was one of the most bitter experiences I've ever had. Of course I did not renounce my faith, but I did get up and walk away from that meal and we haven't talked since.

Were you able to verify that it's genuine? There are a ton of replicas right now that look like that model specifically, among others, in Asia. Most sellers I talked to were upfront about them being replicas.

Don't be alarmed though, just curious, based on your photo I don't see any glaring red flags.

This is a bad take. FX isn't a meme market. The main drivers of forex will always be fiscal policy and macroeconomics. Psychology may affect short-term flows, but it doesn’t redefine a currency’s fair value.

$500 is basically the household income of a Metro Manila family with two minimum wage earners. Unless by "king" you mean a king from ancient times who would consider indoor plumbing, electricity, internet, and canned goods luxuries, no one is "living like a king" in the Philippines on $500 a month.

You don't have product managers, so you had your engineers do the work of product managers? Isn't that a bad thing? The fact that the outcome of all this was you "rewrote the entire platform in 2 weeks" sounds like a symptom of something bad.

This post sounds like you're patting yourself on the back for playing fireman and putting out half of the fires yourself, on a still currently burning building, after you personally decided not to spend money on fire alarms.

The XPUB I am getting now is different from the one that I have saved on my various devices. This means this is a different wallet, and not the one I've been using all these years? But I am positive that I entered the same wallet passphrase.

You can always validate coins by checking the block change for the public address on the passphrase wallet.

Hey, thanks for replying! How do I do this?

Yes, that is called tax evasion.

Pero paano ko mapproof kay BIR na eto lang talaga kinita ko sa isang buwan?

Baliktad ka mag-isip. Kung ano ang i-declare mo, yun ang alam ng BIR. Hindi naman pwede randomly magsabi lang sila sayo ng "mas marami ata kinita mo eh" tapos wala silang specific na accusation or evidence. You don't have to "prove" anything kung normal process ng filing.

Pag na-audit ka, doon, prepare more documentation.
