      I remember a guy stating that duterte not disclosing his SALNs was a 4d chess move to force congress to make a law making filing your SALNs mandatory.

      in comes to health madami eh,

      • “hindi namamatay ang coronavirus kahit sa alcohol, heat, soap”
      • “coronavirus ay hindi sipon lang”(actually pde ka magkasipon lang tlga gawa ng coronavirus, I’m not talking about being asymptomatic, I’m talking about actually contracting cold due to coronavirus)
      • “tinatawag na coronavirus ang COVID-19”(bruh SARS and MERS left the chat)
      • “treating vitamins and minerals as a cure”(sinisipon ka? inom ka lemon mataas sa vitamin c yan!)
      • “Ang immune system ay nasa tiyan kaya dapat kumain ka ng kumain”(they treat lamina propria as the immune god, actually hindi tumitigil ang immune response sa tyan at dahil dito mas tone down ang immune system dito, kasi kung hindi chronic inflammation ang aabutin nito so mas mahina ang immune system sa tyan kesa sa for example sa balat pag nasugatan ka kaya nga may gut bacteria eh makakasurvive ba yon kung sobrang lakas ng immune system sa tyan)
      • “treating common cold during flu season as allergy”(flu season nga eh viruses ang talamak, hindi allergens)
      • “antibiotic for viral infection”(antivirals left the chat)
      • “mas maasim mas marami vitamin c”(this misinfo is even taught to elementary schools, 5 calamansi for making calamansi drink > 1 lemon for making lemonade)
      • “pag mataba mas malusog”(fattier the better, actually mas bad kasi fat cells are easily stimulated to produce inflammatory cytokines)
      • “underestimating immune system”(Immune system can kill you in 15 minutes if it turn against you, ebola can kill you in 6 days)

      My dad once told me when I was young na pag naholdap ka raw sabihin mo “Hindi tayo talo” at guaranteed na papabayaan ka. I’m glad I was never in that situation malamang na-gripuhan ako.

        I kind of see where your father got it from. Honor among thieves, that kind of thing–that doesn’t make it any less stupid tho. Besides, kahit na makumbinsi mo yung holdaper mo na pareho lang kayo ng “line of work”, di yun garantiya na di ka nya papatuisin.

        But speaking from personal experience, kung kung nakatira ka sa lugar na maraming snatchers, for example, malamang markado ka na as a local, and they generally leave you alone. Tipong “Oi! Yang si Megane, taga looban yan, mabait nanay nyan! Wag nyong papatusin yan ah!” Lol!

    Ano na nangyari kay Jerboa, keeps crashing on mine 😔 minsan ko na nga lang feel magreply ayaw pa

    Pero grabe talaga sabi ko di ako sasama ng team building. Ang nangyari: tumulong pa ako magluto. Sabi ko din hindi ako iinom pero mukhang magddonate pa ako ng isang bote ng tequila just because.

    I don’t know. Kainin ko na lang lahat ng sinabi ko 😆

    I do find it helpful to join these kinds of events, it’s a chance to try to get along with people. May pa-games dyan and I need to win something for the cash prize 😤😤😤

      Jerboa has problems running lemmy.world since they have yet to upgrade to the new Lemmy version. I recommend using a different app for now, like Liftoff.

    in a few hours, mawawala na rin ang boost for reddit. the official app is stupid at yun lang ung pinaka ok na alternative. it made me learn more about reddit and helped me stumble upon the RDs that became a safe haven during the pandemic. i also learned about the old legends from other subs, and that recent ph history thread only proved that there was a thriving community in that site. sad to see a lot of redditors leave (and/or limit their usage). taena kasi ni spez eh haha napasenti tuloy ng wala sa oras bwiset dhjdjd

      Parang may pa-farewell post nga ako nakita dun kanina. Sana aware sila this place exists and move here, lol.

      Edit: Ayan na naman po yung tankie daw founder ng Lemmy kaya baka maging Reddit din eventually. The beauty of the fediverse is that if the so-called dev/founder goes off the rails, there’s nothing he can do about lemmy.world.

        Di ko talaga gets ito. Maraming instances naman na pwede nilang salihan, kung talagang ayaw nila ng Lemmy, pwede naman silang mag-Kbin.

        Gusto ko sana sa wt.social kasi founder ng wikipedia yung gumawa kaso wala talaga guys. Mukhang panalo reddit. Watak watak mga alternatives

        Given the activity levels nung communities sa alternatives, parang di naman ata nag-watak-watak? I dunno about Tiles kung merong mga napadpad dun. But it seems to me that a lot of those who left Reddit congregated here. Sure, network effects sucks, but without people actually going away from Reddit, populating their preferred alternative, failing that, moving to their second-most preferred alternative, etc, and so on until their “at least it’s not Reddit” platform of choice, eh tama nga siguro siya–panalo talaga ang Reddit.

      Ah, I almost forgot about this. I was even planning on giving RIF one last spin just for old time’s sake. Pero eh, for some reason nawalan na ako ng gana.

      The sooner I just cut myself off Reddit, even through RIF, the better.

    Interesting road junction that I found on Google Streetview. Behind the camera (east) is Cagayan, to the left (south) is Kalinga, and to the right (north) is Apayao.

      Ang sarap talagang mag-virtual byahe via Google street view no? I can’t imagine the amount of time I’ve wasted just going around, and around and around.

      Also, discovering places “relatively nearby” me that I haven’t even imagined. Or answering some questions that I’ve left rotting in the backrooms of my brain, like‌ "how does the Metro Manila-Rizal-Bulacan tripoint look like? Found a picture of it just now, it’s a fairly innocent-looking point in a stream. No markers nor anything. Well, mejo remote area rin naman kasi siya.

      But yeah! Even just idly exploring, with no aim in particular, is soothing.

        uhm… if recent confidential issue being exposed to public is what you’re subscribing to about Rendon, sorry to disappoint you but that is not what I’ll gonna do tomorrow rather I’ll make a discussion that curtails to Rendon’s old statement and challenge the popular opinions that surrounds it, I’ll view his statements that made him popular that is rebuke by myriads of netizens in another limelight and I will argue why that statement of his is actually a sound advice

        Since bukas na ata yung effect sa reddit API I expect my post to be much engaged and am ready to be reproached and to refute but still post it kahit di ganoon karami madagdag na phlemmings

      Really feeling conflicted about this. That the reborn station is a joint venture with a Romualdez company, just makes me feel icky about it.

      I know I may just be a bit too hysterical about this, I don’t trust that station–not yet, at least. They really need to prove that they’re willing to stand up against people in power, even the very ones that fund them.
