  • Corruption -- mainly for personal profit -- is a much deeper muck in that it has become a dark aspect of any culture, and it cannot be simply solved by throwing computers at it.

    Jump

  • I follow F1. No matter how the regulations are changed year after year, teams find a way to exploit loopholes so that they may win the championship.

    Corruption is like that. It's a human character flaw. More importantly, it's not unique to Filipinos. It can be restrained.

    January 6, 2021. The U.S. Congress is attacked by MAGA rioters trying to stop Joe Biden from becoming President

    Jump

  • I'm consciously trying to be done with political discourse and just talk about it to clarify where I stand on things or to learn something new.

    It's either a circlejerk (with your allies) or a five minutes of hate (towards your enemies) online and I have better things to spend my time. There's only so much that I can control. I'd rather focus on that.

  • ESSAY: From lonely Japan to chaotic Manila

  • It's no different from Eastern Bloc propaganda imo. Even more annoying in some respects because its the people themselves spreading it and not the government. You think things are in the pits there in 2025? It was way worse before 2005.

    I was a doomer way before the current crop of doomers are active. Moved from the Philippines to the US. On my first visit after moving (almost two years after I left), the improvements are very noticeable. It was a reality check for me to stop dooming about the country.

    The Philippines still has a lot of problems, but we must suck it up and make it better in a slow and sure way. But yes, if you want a chance to get rich quick, you're free to work abroad and/or migrate there.

  • I just bought a radio

    Jump

  • AM: DZMM mainly because of its iconic theme

    FM: 96.3 Easy Rock Manila, 96.3 WRocK Cebu, 97.9 Home Radio - I like easy listening stations

    Musopen: Not a Filipino station, but it's public domain classical music. We should promote open music more

    Used to listen to 99.5 Play FM. I don't know what good Top 40 stations are still there after that station stopped the format

  • "Speak English only" "Don't speak in Filipino"

    Jump

  • Have you guys experienced these policies?

    I studied in a school that has this policy. Hot take, I like it in retrospect. I can speak Filipino in Filipino class and outside of school hours. Monolingualism is even worse. We can speak our mother tongues, and at the same time be comfortable in a lingua franca that most countries can understand. Every language has its specific quirk on how its speaker understands the world. Being able to speak 2 (or 3 or more) languages gives you additional valuable perspectives.

    Gets ko ang backlash ay yung mga policies na nagbabawal gumamit ng wika kahit sa araw araw na buhay, gaya ng Kulturkampf noong binawal ng Alemanya ang pagsalita ng Polako sa buhay pampubliko.

  • First PC Build (Sleeper) - What do you think?

    Jump

  • It's actually 2x32. My skill issue in finding the exact part in the site. It's fixed now.

    Thank you. Glad you like it.

  • Pacquiao is back, but how back is he? Saturday's fight against Barrios will reveal all

    Jump

  • Barrios underpeformed. Pacquiao overperformed. Manny's still got it, though we won't see him fight like he used to.

  • What Filipino Art, Entertainment, or Media Stood Out to You in a Good Way?

    Jump

  • So true, the closest that I can find is J-Rock, but Pinoy rock is still distinct and have peculiarities specific to the genre.

    Both Pinoy and J-Rock feel authentic. Just a bunch of boys and girls who love to play music.

  • Quezon City passes ‘gender-inclusive’ health ordinance

    Jump

  • No, I'm Embarrassed.

  • Quezon City passes ‘gender-inclusive’ health ordinance

    Jump

  • Wait! I don't mean it to be literal. The moderators abandoned it, but you can still post.

    Jump

  • Mods are asleep, but you can still post here.

  • When was your house built?

    Jump

  • 2006

  • Do you hide your origins online because of your Filipino identity?

    Jump

  • Yes, let them cook!

    Homecooked Filipino meals are so good.

  • Sleeper PC Building - Linux for HDR 4K UHD Playback - Recommendations?

    Jump

  • US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too.

    Jump

  • Only if there's a legal way to do it, which is at this point, a constitutional amendment. The civil war made it clear seccession is not an option.

  • ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 3 discussion

    Jump

  • Episode Three of Mappa Flex: the Animation. Utterly amazing that they pull off movie-quality visuals so far. Would be a shame if they encounter production issues (knowing Mappa, it's a possibility)

    Ga-go, ga-go

    Knowing Tagalog, I metaphorically spat my drink hearing that 💀

  • What happened on your worst birthday?

    Jump

  • My birthday is September 10. September 11 2001 happened. While I'm not directly affected, it messed me up mentally because I thought I had something to do with it. It didn't help that the year after, I saw Space Shuttle Columbia on the launch pad in what would be its final mission.

    Jump

  • I saw the 3-episode premiere. The sexual assault scenes are limited to that episode. You should be fine.
