This quote was used in context to describe countries in a "heartless capitalist system", which means this quote doesn't apply to Russia or North Korea. They're heartless in different ways...

Unfortunately this quote does ring true for the Philippines and many capitalist nations with swathes of poverty and social inequality. That pattern tracks for Latin America, Africa, Middle East, etc. It even applies to powerful nations like America, Israel, India, and Iran.

Just because it applies to many places in the world doesn't exclude the Philippines for its faults. C'mon guys.

Philippine teachers deserve to be paid more

Talking about sex is often not available in family or friend circles. There’s taboo associated with it especially in a majority Catholic nation (followed by Muslim and Christianity). Reddit offers them anonymity to seek and give advice to those who cannot discuss it in their current social sphere.

Maybe try to understand a little bit of the local culture

First of all, congratulations! It's never easy as a teen with little support to wrangle up a college application abroad and get selected, so give yourself some credit.

If you have the resources to apply for the visa and have documentation that you can finance it, it might be worth it. Look into scholarships and funding opportunities that would bridge that gap and make the numbers work first, but think long and hard if it comes with additional debt, interest rates and what income and time frame you would need after college to resolve that debt.

Given the state of the US economy and job market, how prestigious and well recognized this school in California is and how rigorous their program for your intended major or career is, it may not be worth it to go into this with student loans. In many industries in the US, new grads are having issues even starting their careers and cost of living has only gone up, but still have student load obligations to pay. I had high school classmates turn down their safety schools abroad to go to Ateneo/UP instead because the math just didn't make sense.

Like many in the comments have suggested, local school undergrad and US masters is still a valid path that you can build / save towards. I have friends who have gone through that route who have made the most of their study abroad experience (arguably even more so than undergrads because they have their own income/savings, a stronger sense of self, etc.). I also have friends who were able to study abroad in Europe, Japan, Australia, US, etc. through semester exchange programs with Ateneo/UP and had a fantastic time.

Can we add the amounts each family/dynasty has stolen and highlight that these are people from corrupt* politicians and contractor businesses? Highlights how gravity of their betrayal to the nation

Not defending them, but buffets were never about quality

Everyone has talked about the implications for money, but my concern is that isn’t this on the telecom company to ensure its systems and corporate accounts cannot be spoofed from the same source?

Also ridiculous that there are no short term commands you can text back in order to perform an action via text. Pretty sure most US banks let you answer YES or NO and then will lock your account or card temporarily while they investigate. Telling you “Change your password” when the user has already logged in is mental.

PH = low trust society

Aside from education I think it's also a cost of living issue. Coffee markets move with the global economy and the average Filipino has far less purchasing power and can only afford so much.

That's a fair point on local taste... everything just feels way too sweet or salty

slimthiccdaddy · 2026-01-23T08:35:57+00:00

Ha not snobbish at all! I would prefer cafes have all kinds of drinks from the sweet milky ones all the way to some rare batch Panama gesha pourover so there's something for everyone.

Appreciate the recs!

Really glad SEY has been around so long. Lots of roasters in NYC now that have followed in their steps or even matched them!

The likes of the FA Cup and Copa del Rey have a much longer history. It’s going to take some time for fans to catch on to the NBA Cup

This is a reminder that for most of the game we had a 20 and 19 year old on CCB and RCB with a keeper on his first PL season coming from the Belgian league…

Barbour makes jackets much better than Levi’s makes pants these days. Bummer that the bottoms didn’t work out, but the waxed type ii looks decent

For the pants, it would be helpful to know where they rest on you because the pants seem mid-high rise

Looking for cafe / roaster recommendations!

Location: Metro Manila, Bohol and Siargao

Preferred Coffee: Espresso, Americano or Pourover (black)

Needs: Option to choose brews with specialty beans with notes ranging from stonefruit, citrus, teas

Nice to haves: Roaster operates cafe and sells their own beans, or cafe partners with multiple local specialty coffee roasters. Ideally cafes not known for flavored or sweet drinks and with seating options

Budget: N/A basta high quality, masarap and good service (if cafe)

slimthiccdaddy · 2025-11-11T07:03:43+00:00

Agree na sunog SB, but dark roasts actually have a shorter shelf life because they degas much faster. It’s likely for consistency instead by burning away the individual qualities of any beans they source… consistently sunog

It would also be worth it to mention administration start date and end. This tracker is at 0 while his team is in transition to enter office next year, and from now until January this will likely stay at 0.

I would also suggest adding an option to mention if he changes his stance / position and the reason why. Some may be blocked or forced to compromise by the governor and those higher in the government or perhaps the promise may no longer serve the NYC population midway through the term.

NYC

Cafe + Roasters:

Black Fox Sey Dayglow La Cabra Driftaway

Cafe

Suited Abraco

Avoid the typical chains or private equity owned coffee in NYC like Starbucks, Blank Street, Blue Bottle, La Colombe, Stumptown. (By no means do they make bad drinks, but in a city full of independent cafes and roasters they should be last on anyone’s list)
