For the nth time, hindi kailangan ng pulis na may abs at fit. Would it be nice if they all were? Sure. But to say that they suck at their job kasi obese is 1) falling for the security theater that the higher-ups say, and 2) being the same judgmental body shamer that you despise from your aunties and relatives.
Unang una, they’re fat kasi the job isn’t as glamorous as you see in the movies. Depending kung san toka nila they’re either nailed to a desk taking cases or sitting idly in a patrol car. They very rarely (if not never!) get into situations wherein they have to chase criminals. Heck, the chases you often see consist of them going after them in their cars and pinning them down or doing hot pursuit house to house searches.
Yung mga chiefs na nagsasabi sa interview na dapat ganito waist line achuchuchu are lying out of their asses and telling you what you want to hear.
“kAiLaNgAn iPaKiTa nA DiSiPlInAdO SiLa aT MaGiNg eHeMpLo” — What the fuck is this boomer bullshit??? Hahahahaha! Your body has nothing to do with whether you’re disciplined or not. You could be some parkour expert and benchpressing 585 for starters pero pulpol ka naman sa trabaho mo e di wala rin. Si Nuezca, yung tatlong pulis na pumatay kay Kian, at yung 13 cops na nag-resell ng drugs na nahuli sa Pampanga, or karamihan nung pumatay kay Jemboy, matataba ba sila?
“sO NiNo-nOrMaLiZe mO YuNg hInDi mAgInG HeAlThY?? CiNa-cAlL OuT LaNg nAmIn pArA AyUsIn nIlA KaTaWaN NiLa!” — Weh? Ulol. Wala ka pinagkaiba sa mga tita mo na kunwari may pakialam pero sa totoo asshole lang at mean-spirited. And nope, I’m not normalizing anything. I’m being realistic and putting everything into perspective. I have the same mindset when it comes sa mga pulubi na tinatawag nyo “choosy beggars” kasi ayaw kainin yung tira tira mo (they probably have teeth or digestive issues so hanggang cup noodle types lang kaya nila makain).
You’re also ignoring the fact that not everyone is built the same. May mga tao na mabilis talaga tumaba, meron naman slob kumain pero payat. Meron din mga obese na wala naman health conditions and are functional and agile, may mga payat na may sakit at mabilis mapagod.
Bakit kaya puro assholes na lang naiwang mag-mod sa Philippines subreddit? I made a huge mistake trying to engage again with that conmunity. Yung isa, kailangan pang iproject ang sariling insecurities pero magpopost lang naman ng CNY celebration niya sa Chinatown.
Buti na lang hindi na ako mod. 😆
While I’ve never banned anyone as I’m a huge proponent of free speech/contrarian thoughts, I’ve made some moves that can be seen as asshole-ish. I was gung-ho in putting “Minarcos” on the banned keywords for post titles. I even wanted the “xx days bago maging 20php ang bigas” series deleted automatically, only for dub4u to oppose it (which was the right call and despite that the guy is hated big time lol).
At one point, I also kept on removing threads that are redundant. Mga daily thread types that get their own topic like I got scammed, san kukuha ng ganitong ID, my parents suck, separate articles of virtually the same breaking news, mga obvious karma farm like anong brand ng corned beef (which I believe was reposted again this week). Heck, I sometimes trust u/pobautista’s judgment and take out most of what he reports… although mali rin naman karamihan, haha.
The positive side of it is that good discussions don’t get buried in the third page anymore. The downside is technically what they’re doing isn’t against the rules so I shouldn’t delete it. Wala naman sinabi na bawal mag-post ng Inquirer/GMANews/Bandera piece on someone’s death just because a Rappler tweet was already posted an hour ago. I just feel like it’s cluttered to have great posts on the other threads instead of just consolidating it on one for everyone to see and reply to. I hope people see the logic in that and not brand me as some kind of megalomaniacal power-tripper.
Ikaw pala taga linis dati ng basurang self posts tungkol sa mga nawawalang ID, paano pumunta sa Taft, at paano mag Google.
It’s so much worse now.
Yup, it was much easier to do with third-party apps. You literally can just pop up Relay while lying in bed and just remove them. Sa dami ng natatanggal ko yung threads left are like hours apart from each other, lol.
With Reddit’s app it’s a bitch to do and lalo na sa desktop. I don’t think a lot of people realize that lalo na it’s voluntary work.
Ahh fuck, I totally forgot about that. I still use Joey for reddit now using a workaround. Malaking bagay talaga yung 3rd party apps sa mods.
Kaya pala nag nose dive na yung quality ng posts.
I’ll probably give away my reddit identity, but the bad experience that kicked off my rant above did not even involve a post about politics.
Apparently the post I made was “Not About PH” and removed by the mods then pointed me instead to niche subs and the Feb event thread that nobody goes to. When I tried to appeal my case while pointing the hypocrisy of mod leaving posts which only tangentially relates to the Philippines, sagot lang sakin “K”
Kapag sila namang rereplayan ng “K” sa mga nonsense posts nila, ambilis maka react violently
natamaan mabilis magalit… wait that’s not what the expression is. lol don’t mind them
TW: Another rant. Pasensya na sumusulpot sa social media e, lmao.
Dami na naman pakialamero at matapobre about glutathione and using its alleged illegality para mang-shame ng mga tao.
First of all, the treatment isn’t illegal. What’s illegal is injectable glutathione, mostly because it’s performed by unlicensed clinics. Not because there is definitive proof that it’s harmful. “May lead to liver damage” daw. So does alcohol and creatine, banned ba mga yun??
DOH is fine with glutathione procedures as long as it’s done by an accredited facility. But of course for PR reasons they’re going to outright oppose its skin whitening use.
Walang pera karamihan para sa fucking St. Lukes BGC or to bribe those in NKTI to have it done (since you need to have a good reason for it beyond skin whitening), so they go to haoshao clinics instead. They figured sa dinami dami ng mga naga-avail ng procedure, there’s only 1 or 2 known casualties in the last decade. Those are good odds similar to liposuction and other risky cosmetic procedures.
Bakit gumagamit si Mariel nung IV if they’re rich? I have no idea. Vit C daw (which goes in hand with the procedure), idk and don’t care. What she and every single wannabe Ivana Alawi/Yassi Benitez do with their skin is none of my business. If madisgrasya sila because of it, then that’s on them. Pera nila yun, buhay nila yan.
Society glorified yung Westernized look, and we’re all guilty of perpetuating that cycle today with kids looking for SOs na kasing puti at kinis ni Jungkook o Sullyoon. The rest of the country is just trying to be noticed and satisfy your (and everyone else’s) needs and expectations.
it just occured to me am I the only one that used the same username from when I was on reddit?
also grabe mag charge yung eleven labs AI dubbing software by character yung charge nila granted na 0.000125 usd per character pero still
Definitely not, the mods from the Philippines subreddit also used the same usernames here
Disclaimer: I’m not the reddit u/pobautista, inunahan ko lang siya sa username just in case lumipat siya dito nung reddit boycotts
still using the same username I used to have in reddit
2024 na at andami nang mga prueba na bulok ang mga Marcos at Duterte, may mga hibang na trolls pa din sa social media na nagrerebut ng kabobohan.
Me and my roommate’s honest reaction:
Update: may bobong duwag ding nag haha nung ni pin kong “bayan bago sarilli” post smh
ANUBA PILIPINAS AAAAAA
sa mga mahilig sa libre at mahilig sa movies, UP Diliman is one of the screening venues of the Japanese Film Festival 2024 that runs from 22 Feb - 02 Mar.
i have watched 3 movies so far and am planning to watch more. they have 7pm screenings, perfect as an after-work pre-uwi transition.
Miss ko na manood ng sine, particularly free and world cinema types. Ang ganda pa ng atmosphere sa UPD around these times because of UP Fair.
Kaso the pandemic kind of made me paranoid about being trapped in an enclosed space with an ample amount of people. COVID really did a number on me permanently. It made my GERD worse to the point that I had to stop one of my obsessions (caffeine) cold turkey.
This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What life tip do you wish you’d figured out sooner?
taking care of yourself and your health. not in an emotional/spiritual sense, but of putting more value into maintaining good health and hygiene. it makes the general quality of life so much better and easier.
and i guess also being honest in introspection. being oblivious to or in denial of what you want leads to a lack of satisfaction and wasting time be true to yourself and what you want. we can’t want what we want so get out there - and in there - with yourself and learn to be independent of others’ impositions lmaoooo
@the_yaya I wish I learned how credit cards actually works earlier.
Nababaliw na ako magbasa sa reddit text posts sa reddit. Parang ai generated karamihan. Kala mo fb page confessions, financial problems, acads, slutshaming stories. Kahit yung mga most upvoted comments paka generic.
This one post saying she was slutshamed at the airport. Halatang troll post and these muthafuckin kids are falling for it. REEEE
Edit: Eh, I’m not going to shit talk r/PH anymore.
Understandable.
Trillanes rallying the pinks to stand behind Hontiveros. Ginawa na nila yan before (remember 1Sambayan??) but since in the end gusto nila si Leni yung magiging pambato outright (instead of a fair basis), it never got anywhere.
That being said, I do like Hontiveros. If Leody runs again, I’d still back Hontiveros. Pretty much the same platform but much more winnable and she has fans on all sides (I know BBM and DDS that like her, just not Leninists and center-lefts).
I know some who voted marcos but had Hontiveros too. Rationale nya, hindi daw tumatarget ng personalities si Risa. And I thought, doon din pala nasira image ni Leni sa fanatics. Ginawa syang bully sa bbm/Sara circles.
Musta mga ka-phlemmy? Ano plano sa valentimes?
Me and the wife already had dinner last night. Mahirap ngayon lumabas marami tao. That, and pretty busy schedule for today.
Already gave a handwritten card and some chocolates to my woman and had a great night together, sadly interrupted by work.
6 yrs single then again puro work then bahay lang ako so what do I expect XD
Same here, di ka nagiisa
Just got an email from Reddit (being an ex-mod and all) that we get a chance to buy stock at the same price as institutional investors. Yun nga lang it’s only available to US residents.
I mean I hate Spez and all but if there’s one thing I learned from the blackouts, people (the backbone of what makes Reddit great) will continue to go and post there. So if this was an option for us, I’d definitely invest lalo na if the IPO is cheap.
I think their stock will go up once Spez eventually sells it to some conglomerate who will then maximize ads and squeeze every potential dollar out of it. Ngayon pa nga lang he’s already making moves by selling Reddit content to an AI company. Wag nga lang si Elon bibili, lmao.
lol, nakakuha na rin ako kahit di ako mod. Di ko lang alam if dahil di maganda ang reception ng offer sa mods o kung plano talaga nila ito.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with Ivana Alawi hooking up with a politician? For clout daw, so ano ngayon? Pakialam nyo? Haha.
Ivana Alawi needs clout? Doesn’t she have enough of that. Even I know of her existence and I don’t know many famous names here in the PH. Sometimes I think people’s brains don’t work and they’re only looking for others to hate or gossip around. Low-level trash.
If anything, yung politician na jowa nya ang clout chaser. Hahaha
Any linux users here? Is it a good idea to localize FOSS software not only into Tagalog, but also PH regional languages (iloco, cebuano, etc).
- Just take the .po files of the software we want to translate.
- Define a locale for those languages.
is there any incentive to doing that? like you aren’t gonna convince the average juan to use linux lalo na’t sanay na sila creature comforts ng windows
I agree. Kahit sa Steam Deck community ng PH ang daming nag iinstall ng Windows OS sa deck nila kasi mas sanay sila sa Windows and mas madali mag install ng quack sa Windows OS.
Kahit sa Steam Deck community ng PH ang daming nag iinstall ng Windows OS
is this one of the reasons why halos pabigay na yung presyo sa mga steam deck sa marketplace? hahaha sadly even if gusto ko man patulan nakasetup na yung sunshine/moonlight server ko sa bahay
In a way, yes. Mababa presyo kasi madami na stocks unlike before. Pero marami rin nagbebenta ng palugi kasi nagpadala sa hype pero hindi naman willing matuto on how to install games, tweak settings to make games playable, dual booting, and so on.
Maybe. Pero kadalasan nakikita ko is mga impulsive buying tapos nahihirapan intindihin yung process ng installation sa OS. For me kasi hindi pang common knowledge yung tinkering ng system ng Steam Deck compared sa other handheld na naka Windows OS na agad.

Mas mura kasi SD compared sa Ally.
@k5nn @ProximaPrime99992 Hindi lang naman sa Linux ang mga FOSS. Kung alam ng potential user na may kapwa Pinoy, edi baka mas madali dumami FOSS users ;)
maybe mali pagkakaintindi ko pero OP was trying to say na maybe the reason why FOSS is not widely adopted is cause lack of translation I don’t think yun kasi if we look at the average Juan they use MS Office , Photoshop , Premier and naka english naman if anything I think they just don’t know that FOSS alternatives such as LibreOffice , Krita and KdenLive exist and even then with things like Photoshop and Premier I don’t think you could easily coax someone out of their comfort zone just like that we are creatures of habit after all pero if we see more content creators who use FOSS then yeah magkakaroon ng Following yan for sure
