Turning this to a monthly random discussion thread. The_Yaya is down and not really in the mood to create daily threads that have 2-5 posts each.
It was painfully obvious that the revolution lasted for like one month, and I’m in the forefront of the butt end of all the jokes.
Thank you for keeping the PH community alive here on lemmy kahit di malakas ang engagement. I’m considering using this same format sa communities na minomod ko, kasi basically 0 engagement din sa kanila

Baka pwede weekly thread plus the usual asklemmyph? Thanks for all you do here btw.
Buhayin si lemmy.ph, a monthly thread would be somewhat depressing in my opinion. But I indeed might be the minority, having actively avoided all things reddit since the fiasco. I don’t think I’ve opened any reddit link for a month or so now, the only time I see reddit is through screenshots lol.
I still go to Reddit at least every other day, albeit just as a casual reader and not a participant. It’s the only place where you can find answers to most questions, specifically obscure passions. Lemmy isn’t there yet.

Lemmy still has a ways to go nga, what will hurt them a bit when it comes to attractiong new users is yung Section 4.0.2 nilang inimpose a few weeks ago
inb4 there's some specific nuance(s) talaga as to whybut that’s for lemmy.world, I don’t think other lemmy instances don’t have such a rule, correct me if I’m wrong tho
Sadge :(
Kala ko bot si yaya, feeling ko automated xa. Ok lang monthly sakin basta buhay ang thread
“She” is. Pero nagka-issue the last few days, coincidentally when yaya on Reddit also went down. I’ve been manually posting the RD threads during that downtime, which can be tiresome. Can’t be doing this every day every dawn.
thanks for the dedication. guess it cant be helped that the discussion here is not comparable to reddit because we still are a very tiny group.
the amount of material here is not as many but the garbage is not as widespread as well.
It’s been a very slow burn, but thanks for keeping PH on Lemmy alive. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to bear the weight of the community’s longevity, though. Just as long as may pwede kaming puntahang alternative PH online community, okay na yun.
At the moment, mas okay nga yung monthly thread until we hit a certain volume.
Much better. Polluted ng RD posts itong community natin.
This month’s Ask PHlemmy: What tv show never gets old to you?
SpongeBob Squarepants’ earlier seasons. I love how laidback they are, from animations to music.
sitcoms. B99, Community, 2 Broke Girls, some SNL skits, ABS CBN’s weeknight comedy shows (90s). watched some episodes recently and i found out bentang benta pa rin sa akin ang mga jokes despite the political incorrectness of some punchlines.
community pa rin talaga
The Simpsons. I find myself gravitating to it semi-regularly and the jokes still hold on many decades later.
Friends

House, Community, Daria, Survivor (although admittedly, depende sa season)
More BS sa kabila: Tax the freelancers daw.
Pano mo itatax mga freelancers when most of them barely have a stable job/income, heck even a job? Kung meron man, it’s below the annual tax threshold. Wala rin silang benefits that regular employees have like life insurance, HMO, 13/14th month pay, bonuses, allowances to cover their electricity/internet/aircon, and so on. And some freelancers actually file their taxes, otherwise they lose out on visa and other perks that require an ITR.
Masama lang loob mo kasi nakakakita ka nagpopost sa social media na freelancer kuno making this and that when they’re either lying or not representative of the freelancer industry as a whole.
Ang dapat tina-tax viciously are the top 1%. Wag ka maging mouthpiece para sa mga mayayaman by blabbering yet another solution that creeps on your fellow poor Filipino.
Independent content creators are barely making a minimum wage in a day. Maswerte lang kapag may kumuhang talent agency sa mga iyan o may mag-sponsor na NordVPN, pero uso ba yan dito sa Pinas (not). BIR thought having a presence online made millions. #TaxTheRich
Ang cringe talaga sa kabila lol
Yup, porke nakakita sila isang influencer na nagyayabang ng 5million/day, may sweeping generalization na kaagad to tax the YouTubers. Content creators that make the big bucks are independently wealthy to begin with or celebrities or have big jugs/blessed with gluta drips by default. Mangilan-ngilan lang yung “yumaman” dahil sa YouTube, maybe even barely 0.3%.
Those who do make some money, it’s about equivalent to the monthly salary of a BPO worker… and again, wala sila benefits so that money isn’t even as high as you think.
most content creators have day jobs. their internet lives are just for hobby and/or entertainment purposes. masses took their opinions personally, and it’s depressing to witness the entertainment industry became the staple of real world pov.
That’s true. But I do think some (particularly low-income earners) turned it into a full-time job because of how time consuming filming and editing is, and YouTube algorithm pretty much forcing you to upload frequently.
some of them are jealous, the others are just ignorant. but i agree, tax the rich (more).
Me: watching pinoy vlogger discussing digital banks
Vlogger: hello mga ka-savings

FFAQ (Filipino Frequently Asked Question) #1: Bakit may pera ka pambili ng kotse pero wala naman parking?
A: Kasi naubos na pera sa pagbili ng kotse na kailangan nila dahil walang pakialam ang gobyerno sa mga commuter. Wala sila parking kasi 2million sinisingil ni DCMI para sa slot, o kaya naman 5k/month ng apartment na inuupahan nila, or worse (like the case when we were still renting), wala talagang parking allotted - problema niyo na daw yan sabi ni landlord.
Of course, hindi natin sinasabi na tama ginagawa nila or kinukunsinte natin. We’re just saying na there’s a reason behind it and by regurgitating this same old question again and again as well as agreeing with the legislators pitching “No Parking, No Car” bills, you are unwittingly supporting the uncreative and inutile politicos. Isama mo na rin mga wealthy who don’t have these problems because they can hoard vehicles to not be inconvenienced by whatever traffic management schemes concocted.
as time goes by, parami nang parami ang mga sasakyan to the point matatagalan ang pagpasok ng isang kotse sa highway na used to be 30 secs tops waiting lang, ngayon more than a minute or two na, minsan five. i resent our being car culture,
This circles back to the government. Bad transport breeds motorcycles and cars. Number coding schemes lead to more cars. Giving exemptions to those with purchasing power equals more cars, albeit better than fossil fuels I guess.
our government let this to happen for decades. it’s disgusting. why we can’t have limit of car ownership for every household? why our transport system is so limited? why we don’t have proper parking spaces? are our roads future-proof?
are our roads future-proof?
No because one of the things they like to do is to “repair” the roads for kickbacks.
Also, they don’t care about the transport systems because they don’t use them.
{insert “character development” talking point here}
1 week na lang December na, all I can feel that’s remotely relevant to the Christmas season is the cold air sweeping in from Siberia. I’m not feeling the spirit this year.
If there’s one type of post that I’m absolutely sick of at r/ph it’s the “Inflation is real” with matching portion size pic in fast food establishments. Yes we get it, prices are getting higher while portion sizes are getting smaller. You don’t have to remind us almost every fucking week.
When they (“they” as in anyone who complains about inflation) do it, it’s mostly as a way to disparage the present administration complete with another shot at those who voted for him. Inflation is inevitable, kahit sino pa nakaupo. Jeepney’s won’t be P1.50 forever, your 2-piece chicken meals aren’t going to be P90 until the day you die, businesses will always think of ways to make a profit when their margins are affected so if that means cutting the siomai pieces to 2 from 4 or using less sugar, they will do it.
Complaining about inflation is unintentionally praising the good old days of Marcos Sr. when he was just fresh off a reset button. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s the corporations. Heck, they should be adjusting your salary to compensate for inflation.
buy fresh produce and meat and cook 'em home. ang dali lang naman magluto ng tinolang isda, di yan aabutin ng 15mins.
mas cheaper and healthy pa.
POV ng hindi paborito:
Minsan talaga ayoko buksan yung box ng regalo, yung tipong it’s the thought that counts na lang. May natanggap akong gift pero di ko bet (di ko style, di bagay sakin). Mas lalo pa kong nabitter kasi mas maganda yung sa iba.
Sorry Lord, forgive my ungrateful heart.
May gift giving na? November pa lang ah.
Baka birthday gift? Happy birthday OP!
Ay, hindi po. Advance Xmas gift lang pero naka-move on na ko hehe
