decadentrebel@lemmy.worldMto Philippines@lemmy.world•Former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte Has ICC HearingEnglish1·4 months ago4D chess pala ginawa ni Marcos na wag irestore yung ICC membership natin para hindi siya pwede idetain dito, lmao.
I do agree with Chiz Escudero’s vow to protect Bato from being arrested, though. Yung same protection kasi na yan is what prevented Trillanes from being arrested back in the day. Although flimsy yung grounds kay Trillanes compared to Bato, it would still set a precedent if they allow it.
I built one for my wife a few years ago. It sounds and feels amazing (as is the case with most Owlabs keyboards) but I could never get comfortable with it because I’m a two-finger typist.
Weikav would later release a ripoff of it for 4.5k called Record. Hindi ko pa natry pero may mga Weikav na ako binuo before for my sisters who wanted a decent cheap keeb and okay naman.
Natuloy din narration project ko! I’m using an AI voice kasi it’s impossible to film here with so many noise, whether construction work or my daughter getting curious and bothering me a lot.
Akala ko na-ban ako nung una, haha.
decadentrebel@lemmy.worldMto Creepy Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Unusual deaths in the 21st centuryEnglish1·6 months agoThis article always make my morbid-ass laugh whenever I remember it.
3 brothers drown in flooded basement
According to the victims’ elder brother, Erwin, who serves as caretaker of the building, Marlo – who lives with him – went missing at around 1 p.m. Wednesday while fixing a chicken coop at the dry portion of the basement. Thinking that Marlo could have slipped into the water, Edwin went underwater but failed to surface. Erwin said he called up Arnulfo from Imus, Cavite, who also dived into the water upon arriving at the building past 6 p.m. He also did not surface.
It was only then that Erwin and his mother, Editha, sought assistance from the police, who called up the BFP and the MMDA.

decadentrebel@lemmy.worldOPMto Creepy Wikipedia@lemmy.world•Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - American internet personality who created Something Awful, had a history of domestic abuse, and later killed himselfEnglish3·6 months agoI frequented Something Awful Forums and Television Without Pity between 2000-08 and it’s interesting to see the contrast on the type of users that posted there.
While SA was into a lot of racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic humor (that admittedly I found funny), TWoP’s “woke” (I mean that in a good way) outlook confused me at the time. Nowadays, TWoP is how the internet (well, mostly) conduct themselves and SA adopted that too over the years. I too find my SA antics (that I carried over to other forums and social media) shameful.
That said, it’s no surprise that when the more recent Lowtax fiascos happened, he never received any sympathy from the forums and they quickly moved to oust him. Compared to when the first instances of his bad behavior bubbled up the surface (how his engagement with Emily ended) from 2002 wherein he got plenty of support. He even wrote a lengthy piece about it despite proclaiming his hatred for what he calls E/N.

Sentenced to 29 years in prison in 2013 for sexual assault of young children and infants, possession of "extreme" child and animal pornographyEnglish1·6 months agoI tend to mythologize bands I like, particularly as a teenager during those points. I’d even make websites for them if they’re a little underrated and I liked them enough. Had Lostprophets continued to make great albums (reminiscent of their debut), I probably would have gone that route.

Sentenced to 29 years in prison in 2013 for sexual assault of young children and infants, possession of "extreme" child and animal pornographyEnglish4·7 months agoI loved “thefakesoundofprogress”. It was different than conventional nu-metal bands in that it leaned more towards post-hardcore/emo.
Fortunately they kind of disappeared for a bit and resurfaced sounding like the shitty version of OneD. I didn’t have to feel guilty listening to a band fronted by Peter Scully Jr.
What separates Lemmy and Reddit is that you don’t have to overthink what you post, lol. I can just say what I want and not worry about adding receipts to whatever I say, whether I got my facts right, or do I come off bad. If edits need to be made, you can go back later in the day when you’re free because no one would be reading it until after a week anyway LMAO. I believe there are also logs that allow others to check what you edited. So while commenting here interrupts work, it doesn’t take more than a few minutes to do unlike in Reddit when it would literally take half an hour or so.
I still use Reddit daily for browsing non-PH news and happenings, but I completely stopped posting. Every once in a while I’ll try to comment something but delete it immediately after. I realized that replying and posting ate up a huge chunk of my time and often derail my momentum when working, so I don’t really miss it. But at the same time, posting my thoughts is an outlet and it’s also nice to revisit to see where my headspace was at a particular point. As an alternative, I just post it on my FB feed and set it to “Only Me”.
It doesn’t help that r/PH is a shit-show echo chamber now, mostly because of the users. Nakaka-turnoff yung mga matapobre, antinatalists, eugenicists, and low-effort threads. I haven’t been there for a week pero pustahan mga posts diyan tungkol na naman sa pinipilit sila magperform sa Christmas Party tapos pag malapit na bagong taon sasabihin nila ang lakas lakas magpatunog ng tambutso hulugan naman daw yung motor. They’re seriously just as bad as the bastards on FB’s comment sections.
That said, I’m happy it all played out the way it did. I was able to get UndustFixation started, able to finish some of my PS5 backlogs, go out of the country for the first time since 2012, and I’m bonding with my daughter now through our shared interest in blind boxes (she got me into it actually lol).

The part where the parasite possesses the snail and creates this elaborate display with the eyes to draw its real intended host/target is what’s fascinating.

decadentrebel@lemmy.worldOPMto Philippines@lemmy.world•Olivia Rodrigo announces Philippine concert date, tickets for P1,500English1·10 months agoDapat kasi higpitan pa nila lalo yung anti-scalping measures. Tipong kung bibili ka ng multiple tickets dapat yung names ng each additional ticket holder need mo na ilagay when purchasing and it should match the name of each claimant sa venue. Para hindi mo ma-resell.
Yun nga lang, may gana ba yung nagchecheck sa venue or basta na lang pinapapasok basta may ticket? That’s the likely scenario actually, which would make any countermeasure moot.
That’s his whole shtick, apparently. Glad someone stood up to him although if he’s really tough I’d like to see him do that shit in Cavite or Bulacan and not fucking BGC which is practically Beverly Hills, lol.
Edit: The guy who stood up to him ended up making a channel about his PH travels shortly after he became an overnight sensation. Now that puts all of that confrontation in a different light.
