I feel like it’s time for another “foreigner mods” joke again. I’m going to milk this badly than Ryan Rems with rock and roll.

It looks like more of a vanity award to me, like those “award shows” happened in Okada. These “awards” organizers would require payment to their “awardees” in order to get the “award”. The OG of these is the Gusi Peace Prize.
I was supposed to add this paragraph to my reply to the Ever Gotesco post, but I decided to cut it out and put it somewhere else, here:
I am not one to glorify mall culture here, but I hope if they (the struggling Ever malls) do end up being abandoned, someone can just turn them into quasi-social spaces where people can hang out without spending money. Heck, tying it back to my rants about public transport, why not someone can turn those dying malls into transportation hubs with a quasi-social space on top? If we’re going to be transferring from one transport mode to another anyways, why not have a spot to rest na rin? Lalo na kung mejo mahaba ang pila sa jeep na kailangan mong sakyan pauwi.
It’s one tactic that SM Malls use in their favor, and other malls struggle to replicate (basically since SM malls force themselves to be the area’s hub–looking at you, MoA). But in certain areas kasi, it’s other malls who have the hub (Sta Lucia grand east, for example, or possibly Ever Ortigas). So yeah! It’d take a lot of money though, as you’d have to buy up that land, in a good location, and to recoup that money, well, you’d better maximize the area’s commercial potential (kinda the MO of SMDC, I think). IDK, I’m rambling here, sorry.

Yeah, actually. And kung talagang gusto nila, I guess they can use eminent domain? Not sure how that’d fare against mall owners and operators, lalo na Robinson’s, SM and Ayala.
I actually like how Ayala did the garden area around Greenbelt chapel. Kung mas marami lang sanang ganung klaseng areas. Kahit wala na yung water features, keri lang, lalo na kung gagawin nila sa rooftop yung ganun (like what SM did in SM North EDSA), basta yung soothing naman yung dating. Hindi yung buryo ka na nga sa commute mo, mabuburyo ka pa sa landscaping nung garden area, lol!
looks like .world blocked !piracy!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Hello one more account, lol! It might be an “nsfw” one too, not lewd nor gore, but still nsfw.
Yep, seems to be a reaction to a post from a person that’s now banned. I read through the thread where the block was announced and it kinda makes sense for me now since delikado nga.
I actually follow the piracy community, so it would have been a loss for me if my account was on .world, I would personally prefer an instance that is federated with most others or else there would only be a circlejerk of the same echo chambers in my feed. It’s still good to have those dissenting opinions and various resources on hand. That being said, the beauty of having numerous instances is that you can just hop on another one if too many other instances or communities in your particular instance get blocked/defederated.
I think I have 4 accounts on the various instances. This won’t impact me in the slightest so yeah, federation is great.
I have 2 accounts, this one and the NSFW one.
One thing I disliked about reddit is how controversial topics tend to get highly upvoted knee-jerk reactions. They’re often low effort and tend to get traction by virtue of being one of early replies to the topic.
It’s not as bad here, but that’s probably because of fewer users compared to the other site.
Not a biggie. It’s not like I comment on piracy sites. Download download (and if applicable, seed) lang.
RuTorrents at FitGirl pa rin mga ulol!

That would be an appealing headline for the likes of them but man does it turn me off.
Had to break my no-posting-on-reddit rule by pointing out where r/thevisoria went.
Hopefully the trade off is more people?
That’s one rule break that proves the rule, lol! I mean, it’s not really a rule break in my book–and I don’t even dare look at reddit posts when troubleshooting (work, or personal projects) and use the cached version whenever possible.

busog sa drama with the GN vs LMG debacle
Haven’t seen the video yet, but I’m generally more willing to support GN on issues like this. They’ve usually shown that they take journalism very seriously.
EDIT: Just watched the full video. God damn, Tech Jesus has LTT dead to rights.
It makes you wonder if that multi-million dollar buyout Linus claims (that he turned down) is indeed true. Or maybe because if I was in his position I’d take it and run, lol.
Edit: Will watch the whole debacle later. Mukhang juicy. Gayahin nyo kasi si Hardware Canucks, inot inot lang upload.
Edit 2: Started with the Billet Labs vid first. Damn, wtf. LMG done fucked up.
Knowing LMG’s insane content window, I’m guessing we’ll see a video response to this in… 24 hours?
I’m not sure there’s an answer Linus could give that absolves them (not like I’m expecting him to do that anyway considering he’s been doubling down repeatedly), but I’m tuning in anyway.
Nagrespond na sila sa forums nila (basically sums up to “it’s not our fault and you should feel bad for not following journalism standards”), di ko lang alam if pipilitin nila gumawa ng video tungkol dito. If they just repeat their points sa video, it’ll just look bad.
Damn, I always thought LMG’s contents are not good as it used to be. They’re just manufacturing junk foods nowadays.
I stopped watching them since last year until these debacles showed up.
Something weird just happened today. Whichever explanation I can think of concerns me, really. SO here it goes.
Let’s start with yesterday (Monday around noon); I just got back from my home province and started unpacking my stuff. I distinctly remember getting the bath soap that I took from the province out my bag and into the shared restroom (I share the restroom with whoever was on the apartment next to mine, so I thought it was fine).
Which brings us to today. About an hour ago, I went to the restroom to take a crap and, lo and behold, my bath soap was missing. So, like any dude who is pissed that someone is taking my stuff without my permission, I ripped a tissue core in half and wrote down an angry message stating “Return my bath soap” and accusing whoever took it as a thief. So I left the message in the restroom and went back to my room. I opened my bag to get my umbrella (which was still in the bag), and what do I see but my soap, which was in there.
I don’t know if I’m getting phantom memories or if somehow my soap walked all the way from my shared bathroom to my locked room and in my bag, but either way, it’s not normal for me. It’s worrying to be honest.
Bachelor party ideas please
Thinking of good cocktails for two hours (san meron na unli?)
Tapos pub crawl (whats a good route?)
Then strip club? or book a hotel beforehand and get a stripper? (san makakakuha and ano ok na hotel?)
Tonight’s Ask PHLemmy: What’s the worst financial decision you’ve seen someone make?
The wife’s subordinate spent a ton of money on Axie and tried to get others to join. Alam nyo naman siguro naging ending ng Axie, assuming you didn’t smell it as a pyramid from a mile away.
Is Axie still alive? Haven’t heard what happened to it but it smelled sus so I never joined.
The value of SLP tanked to the point that it wasn’t profitable anymore. To make matters worse, the server got hacked and the culprit got away with $620 million worth of crypto, effectively killing them.
Yung parent ng isang kakila ko spent their whole retirement package for water refilling station business. What’s worse is meron na nakatayo sa kabilang kanto. Within 2yrs, nagtransfer si kakilala from a private college to a public one.
LSS: Red Flags by Tom Cardy (ft. Montaigne)
I vaguely remember seeing one of the artists’ videos on reddit but kinda forgot about him. But last night I stumbled upon this song on a Youtube short and I especially liked the lady singer’s voice. It got me looking for the original and what a pleasant surprise.
New Thunder release looks good.

It’s fine on my end, “Hot”, “Active” and “New” are 3 separately sorted feeds.
