    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

      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.

        “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.

    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.

    Me: watching pinoy vlogger discussing digital banks

    Vlogger: hello mga ka-savings

    Me: onga naman, about savings ang topic XD

    so kung chess ang topic, tatawagin na “hello mga ka-checkmate” LOL

    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.

    Don’t have Spotify since I prefer to stream losslessly via Plex. I only have two 2023 albums constantly played, and it’s by Maisie Peters and the comeback from In Flames.

    Damn, I really hate the “other side.” Imbes na makipag-discuss at mag-expand, sasabihan ka pang dami mong alam, like damn, it’s progressively worse just like Facebook (PH). Kung maging crackhead man ako or something, I’m rather bubbling myself here on Lemmy (fediverse).
