Rappler with the sneaky editorials, lmaoooo.

If takot silang mawawalan ng silbi ang mga loto operators malabo yun cause hindi lahat ng tao marunong gumamit ng smartphone, pwede naman gumawa ng API yung maghahawak ng sistema at limitahan lang yung access sa mga operator

This was Raffy Tulfo’s main gripe. The PCSO lawyer/spokesperson explains that 1) it’s only a test run to check if it’s viable, and 2) the pandemic showed that they need to think of alternative ways to generate revenue in case people are not allowed to venture to lotto outlets.

Despite this, Tulfo just kept on yelling and talking over her with his “PaAnO aNg MgA oUtLeT” tirade, lmao.

Officially out na Boost for Lemmy.

Baka nasanay lang ako sa Sync, but I prefer it a lot more than Boost.

He is. Can’t stay healthy either.

Natuloy din ang Lillard trade!

Lakas maka-gago nung Eras ni Taylor Swift. Akala mo concert dito, movie lang pala.

Baka mangyari na naman yung bumili ng mga tickets nang Paramore concert, yun pala #Pamore 😂

Ingat ingat lang sa bidet, particularly the cheap ones. The seals tend to weaken overtime and leak bad. Binaha yung apartment namin when we left the place unattended for a week nung pandemic.

I rode EV jeepneys back in 2018 daily while I was still working a desk job. While they’re certainly more environment-friendly, convenient (I can finally put my Beep card to good use), and retained the aesthetics of traditional jeep (contrary to the incorrect criticism that the look is going extinct), it’s actually quite nightmarish as a commuter during rush hours.

Since drivers still generate profit by hitting their “boundary,” the age-old problem of jeepneys stuffing their vehicles more than the ideal capacity is still rampant. This is twice as problematic with e-jeeps because windows are kept closed due to the AC. So, it’s tight and there’s little to no airflow. To make things worse, drivers also try to save fuel by turning the AC low.

Basically, if the government wants jeepney drivers to roll with modernization, they need to address the elephant in the room, and that’s their daily wage. They’re not going to upgrade their jeep unless the financing options make sense. They’re not going to agree to a fixed salary (another part of the modernization program) because they make way more money with the current system that incentivizes ferrying more passengers. Government never addresses any of these issues and just trots around the same old “ThE enVirOnMeNt” talking point that other Filipinos parrot, as if they enjoy driving a smoke-belching, gas-guzzling heavy steel tank.

In fairness, ang galing nung troll army. Mukha talagang organic. Saw one of their posts on the FB group “Manila Furniture Buy and Sell” asking if ACASA (her furniture business) is a scam because they haven’t delivered her orders for months now. Maggie herself replied and said they were looking into the backlog seriously. Then a day later, it’s allegedly the ex trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.

The government has been trying to phase out jeepneys for many years now because of “ThE eNviRoNmEnT” but isn’t actually doing anything realistic to help them with the transition. The new jeeps cost about 2.8 million pesos ($50k) and it’s literally impossible for a driver to pay for that with their earnings.

Jeepney drivers combat this move by staging protests and threatening to not go on trips for days to a week, and the government gets cold feet and postpones the plan. The government then revisits this months later without a better solution and the drivers obviously would be still against it, and the cycle continues.

The next “we’re serious!” date is December this year, and drivers that couldn’t afford it, will be trained for other jobs instead… but how they’re going to do that is a mystery because they don’t have the budget for trainings or even the personnel.

This is just a quick Cliff’s Notes. There are other factors in play like drivers being forced to sign with co-ops that would shoulder the payment for the new jeeps for now and the driver pays through them. BUT there’s also an option for you to keep your rickety jalopy jeep just as long as you sign with a co-op, which is weird because isn’t the point of the phase out to get rid of old jeeps? Hence, the whole argument that this is just ultimately capitalism preying on the poor.

Ria Tanjuatco-Trillo’s daughter joins in her mom’s footsteps as a UAAP courtside reporter (Ria was one back in Silverstar although di ko pa naabutan yun lol).

More BS sa kabila that needs debunking.

First of all, these AI reporters aren’t field reporters. They are part of GMA’s NCAA coverage.

Secondly, they’re not even the main reporters. They still have courtside reporters for each team and have been hyping them like crazy (some of them are Kapuso talent being given exposure/seasoning). The AI will be used as supplementary “reporters” for their online channels. Instead of text/captions on shorts, it’s them doing the narration. Wala naman binabayaran dun na person to begin with so they’re not stepping over anyone.

Thirdly, I have a hard time believing that these bots will replace actual humans ever. A bot delivering the news will always look weird and inauthentic than Mel Tiangco, Aljo Bendijo, or Denice Dinsay. They will, however, replace jobs that companies don’t give a shit about/massively undervalue - namely, customer service, tech support, and some writing tasks.

Vintage shirts. I’m talking band/concert tees from 1992 or whatever that’s been worn once, only has one size (usually XL+), and looks beaten up due to age. Goes for like $800-$1000 maybe more. And they buy it to wear it as part of the streetwear aesthetic.

Edit: Here’s an example. A Filipino runs that shop.

He was one of the best parts of that show and one of the most memorable reality show villains ever. I recommend watching the series on YT.

YOU AIN’T GOT NO HO-NOR!

Sabi ko na e, haha. Sila instigate ng instigate tapos pag aalma ka ikaw may kasalanan.

Zarks Burgers speakers version 🚨

Nag-open Marshall sa MoA and discounted their Willen from 7k to just 1.4k. Plenty of people flocked there, and some fainted like this girl.

Creations in Makati used to be good because the owner (Lourd Ramos) would be the one cutting your hair. Idk if they’re still around and if it’s still the same operation. Nag-expand na kasi sila and naturally the quality goes down when they do.

Asa ka. Nung panahon nga ni Duterte, which was easily the worst presidency I had to go through, wala naman nag-aklas. Ngayon pa kaya?

Some places have their own “weird” delicacy that throws people off. Dogs in Yuan, maggot cheese in Sardinia, undeveloped ducks or stewed frogs in the Philippines, and so on. So, I’m not going to knock this at all.

Tbf, I’ve read about this as a teen a long time ago (GQ) and was fascinated by the irony of having the guinea pig in a cartoony sketch on the wrapper while seeing their corpse through the plastic.
