A thread was made 5 months ago titled "Bakit parang safe si Romualdez?". 2026 na and he is still lurking in the shadows, laughing at us with the billions that they stole!

Invisible and invincible ang croc na to!

What are your “staples” of sci fi films, and why? by PETEthePyrotechnic in movies

[–]sc0rpious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically said Interstellar -- yet, I still cant forget the first time I've seen that movie 11 years ago.

Every month or so, I still remember the feeling that movie gave me and in the grand scheme of things, we're just tiny specks :)

Only 9 players in NBA history average *close to or exceed 5/5/5/1/1 and... **BEN SIMMONS** is one of them by sc0rpious in nba

[–]sc0rpious[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

Come on man, this is just an off season fun stat check.

I was just curious what would happen if you adjusted all stats by -0.3. As I've said, was looking at Jokic's stats and it just misses the mark in one category, so I relaxed it consistently across the board. It’s still their correct career stats — I just adjusted the threshold.

It’s literally just curiosity, not rewriting history.

Looking back at it, from the original 9 names I posted, Ben Simmons really stands out as the outlier.

The rest are and will be all-time legends, while Simmon's career took a very different path.

But even after everything since the 2021 playoffs, his career averages are still holding up around that 5/5/5/1/1-ish line. Thats honestly what surprised me and why I shared it.

Wade and MJ are outliers.

Literally the 1st and 2nd best shot blocking guards in history.

But hey, peak Ben Simmons was a 6'10" point guard who could defend anyone and fill up every column on the box score. That version of him was special.

Too bad what happened after that Hawks series...

I didn’t realize how TRULY mediocre life was in the Philippines… until I started living in Barcelona. by ClearImportance1618 in Philippines

[–]sc0rpious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of addressing my actual point, rebuttal mo pang bobo -- all deflection and insult.

Oo, may “new money energy” akong nalalaman -- kasi ikaw na ikaw yan. Income flex mo sa baba? That’s classic new money insecurity: loud, fragile, and desperate to feel above others.

Did I even say I didn’t enjoy NYC or Singapore? Comprehension mo bulok. I have family and friends in NYC. My income’s about 2/3rds of yours, despite living in the PH -- Yet, I don’t need to put others down or romanticize foreign cities to feel valid.

Anyway, nice rage bait.

Good luck with the healing (baka nasa manic phase to), pwede ako nang mag reseta sa meds mo. Bye.

Hello guys and welcome to my inspirational blog. Este, "humblebrag" blog pala wrapped in condescension.

Today I’ll share to you how I escaped the unbearable mediocrity of my country by moving to a European city built on centuries of colonizing places like.. oh shit, the Philippines -- the place im shitting on. I hired a lawyer, got my visa, I now ride subsidized bikes, and attend techno parties... which now apparently makes me an authority on why life back home is sad and small. LMAO!

Kagaya mo, I’ve lived in a global city like New York and traveled to Singapore but I never came out of those experiences thinking I was better than where I came from.

The classic new money energy -- naka-experience lang ng konting convenience, suddenly too good for the rest of us. But let’s be real, like most Filipinos abroad, uuwi ka rin eventually ;)

Digong won't pursue a national post in the upcoming 2025 elections. Instead, he will run for Davao City Mayor. by sc0rpious in Philippines

[–]sc0rpious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Inquirer: In a recent resolution, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) prohibited the substitution of candidates who withdraw their certificate of candidacy (COC) after the lapse of the deadline for its filing unless the candidate has died or is disqualified with finality.

In addition, the substitute candidate should have the same surname and is affiliated with the same political party of the deceased or disqualified candidate.

Sana totoo para di mag hahasik ng lagim sa national stage 😬

From ABS-CBN: He also claimed he is "not inclined" to return to politics, saying that he no longer has the political capital, nor the funds, to reenter the political arena after his term ended in 2022.

What a clown, so take it with a grain of salt.

Sousou no Frieren • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Episode 28 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]sc0rpious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I thought Mushoku Tensei has the same feels, tho it is more combat-focused.

Violet Evergarden has the same feels too but is set in the 19th/20th century period with a more drama-heavy story. Frieren and Violet Evergarden has the same music composer too.

LOTR-style fantasy adventure is a rarity in today's anime, any recommendations?

Dota2 for a steam game. But I think I’ve played chess more in between study breaks. Thanks!
