Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is something everyone wants to do or have, but you have no interest in?
Honestly speaking, employment. Working for money isn't something I envisioned doing, but seems to be a requirement in this dystopian capitalistic society. It takes away from my time, my happiness, and a lot more things. And the little money I get in exchange, I can't even get to do the things I want to do. It's all too depressing. Fuck everything and everyone who supports such a shit ass system. Sorry if people are offended by this, just needed a vent.
Great answer - yung time aspect talaga ng working for money yung di ko din matanggap-tanggap. Doing all this from grad (or even earlier) until retirement age (of choice) or until you drop dead... Imagine instead if we have more time to do things we love instead of the things this conveyor belt world expects from us. But wala, ito na yung nadatnan natin.
Having kids. lol

Ang mag inom. Hay nako! Kayo talaga nagyayaya lagi mag nomo haaaaa. Masama yan!!! 🤡🤡
Shot na tayo mamaya Lemmytors, pagkaout Hahhahahaha
Excessive kpop fangirling (I also wasn't into F4 then). I just don't get it, maybe because I don't understand the language.
Concerts. Not only kasi maraming tao but mostly because you're expected to participate otherwise KJ ka. I prefer to sit/stand there in silence, listen, soak it in, and occasionally bob my head.
That's why the only performance I paid for was an Explosions in the Sky gig in Samsung Hall. Konti lang tao and it was post-rock, so instrumental. The freebie shows I went to sa Ayala Malls - Walk The Moon, Owl City, Cobra Starship, Twenty-One Pilots, hindi ko na-enjoy with the crowd singing along from beginning to end and drowning out the vocalist.
Adding every person they meet on social media.
Having a high-paying job or a lucrative career. Kahit na pa sabihin natin na sobrang taas ng sweldo at sobrang heavenly ng working conditions, hindi pa rin. Just imagining the responsibilities involved, nakaka-stress na.
While I want to earn enough for myself and a perhaps a person or two, to live comfortably, parang okay lang din siguro kung mamatay ako sa gutom kung ang kapalit naman nun is being to live a stress-free life.
This is what I'm afraid to be at na parang ayaw ko na magpapromote to be honest (increase sahod na lang pwede ba haha). On my industry/tech stack, I know what the next level entails, at recently lang naexperience ko na yung glimpse 😄. I'll earn significantly more and be surely more comfortable than before, pero lagi akong napapaisip kung sulit ba yung magiging trade off.
I don't think you'd have lived a stress-free life if eventually you'll die of starvation hehe
I mean, I guess? But also, having already experienced a prolonged period of eating nothing (tubig lang), I think I can get by. Near the end of the first week, I don't even get hungry anymore, not even after drinking water.
But yeah, I'd rather die of hunger than undergo the stresses of a high-paying yet high-responsibility job/career.
Eating nothing can be beneficial as you are cleaning yourself. I've done this during pandemic, at sobrang gaan sa feeling na parang naging germaphobic ang kalooban ng katawan. Haha
Signing up to socmed, cUz uR faMelee n reLatevz uZing it 2.
My family and relatives using FB, among others, is one of the biggest reasons I deactivated.
Constant tagging you whenever they upload something.
Lalo na pag yung pictures ng party ng kamag-anak na hindi mo mahindian. Sabay sasabihin ka pa na suplado kasi di ka nag-cocomment. Parang di ata nila narerealize kung bakit hindi ako umiimik in the first place.
It's annoying, and one of the reasons I deleted my Facebook account 3 years ago. Tagging confirmation? Yes, meron, but like I said, annoying.
Kadalasan nga kahit hindi ka na i-tag may notification pa rin e.
Wtf is this sorcery? You spyin' on me? DATS AGAINST D LAW DUDE.
watching concerts...
well, if its kurt then its a different story...
It was a thing, until these smartphones rise up and record everything. What's the point of going to a concert if they're going to record it and trim it to 15-second TikTok content?
Big events like concerts and cinemas were used to grandiose. Smartphones ruined it.
nah concerts just aren't everyone's thing
Some concertgoers are just forced cuz someone's bought an extra ticket. They can't eat up that cost for nothing. lol
Fame.
Screw popularity I want legally earned big bucks without people actually knowing I'm earning big bucks.
I don't want to be famous I just want to live normally, travel frequently and help anonymously without worrying about bills for my whole lifetime.
Hmm...online mobile games? Guys my age play CODM or Mobile Legends or Valorant or something along those lines, but I am barely interested in what they are doing. I've played my fair share of online games, though they all were at either my laptop or at an internet cafe PC. Never on my phone. In fact, the only things I can remotely call a game in my phone is a Morse Code Koch trainer, a kanji practice app, and a Reversi/Othello game.
manalo sa lotto
Of all the answers here....
Bakit? Just being curious.
i don't like the whole lottery system idea. pool money from thousands if not millions of people to award it to one or a handful, because luck? it's like taxes, only stupid. then for me to have all that money? parang marumi
if you want to acknowledge and accept a corrupted government that still has plenty of money for legit projects, instill a culture of jueteng
Ah, thanks!
That makes a whole lot of sense to me now.
Look what I found earlier. Was laughing to myself when I saw it
Meron ka na starting part to build your own submersible.

Mga hinde dadalhin sa sisiran. *kindat kindat
Kasi gago, mamamatay kayo.
The redesign to end all redesigns.
This logo is way ahead of its time. The "new" one is so pretentious.
This has got me curious though: Who designed all our government's OG logos?
This + Department of Agriculture, DSWD, and DOST.
These logos were really good.
They should have hired whoever made the DICT logo to do PAGCOR's rebranding.
BFAR is another good one.
Holy shit! Tignan mo kaya pala ng gobyerno natin e. More accountability and exacting standards sana. Kudos to the design teams behind this.
Ngayon ko lang nakita yung bagong logo ng BFAR
+1 sa DOST because they actually explained their logo.
DSWD Logo Explained Dept. of Agriculture Logo explained
Swerte nila wala pa social media when this was launched. It looks like something I'd see on a missalette.
But this is still way better than that 3 million dreck.
Nagbalik loob na nga ako sa swimming pool dahil kailangan ko magpractice eh di ko naman kaya mag dagat everyday lol. Nainom ko agad yung tubig kasi walang lasa 💀 at least sa seawater maalat diba? Hahahaha
I got a few laps in, enough to be considered as a cardiovascular exercise. Honestly, the ocean is so much more fun. Sa pool there's nothing much to look at except the guy with a swimmer's body on the other lane. That guy swims. That stamina chef's kiss. 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ parang gusto ko manood ng Free! tuloy HAHAHA
Like, if I was in the ocean I don't even think I'd notice such stuff kasi iba yung focus ko. I'd be oohing and aahing at the corals, the fishes, the waves, the ocean floor, etc. Seriously.
I wanna see a picture of that stamina ☺️
Ocean > Pools. Totally agree. Sure, maganda ang facilities, but sobrang artificial tignan, and the scenery is just meh.
Sa ocean, you'd want to swim as long as you can, especially pag maganda ung view. Just thinking about the ocean makes me miss it.
shabu
I'm guessing this was intended for the Ask PHlemmy question, lol.
I've noticed that behavior recently. I try to reply to post comment, pero nagiging comment siya to the post.
shabu
hindi ko naman yata ikamamatay
kung hindi ko mahawakan ang iyong kamay 🤡
Malaki ba yan?
Buseeeet Hahahaha
May malaking kamay naman, ah.
Perfect weather for gaming all day!
Gusto ko bumili ng Diablo IV. Bwisit na bwisit na ako laruin Tsushima. Ayoko ng open world exploration, I just want a linear plot/goal!
I installed a mod way back sa GTA V that could make pedestrians fight/shoot each other like in San Andreas. Took me about 6 months to be motivated enough to continue the main storyline kasi I had another objective of my own:
So yeah pag wala akong strong incentive to continue the storyline. I tear shit up instead lol
late...
One of my kratky tomatoes died because I left it outside my overcrowded greenhouse. It filled up with rainwater and drowned 🙃
It didn't bear fruit anyways (none of my tomatoes have fruit so far - probably because of the heat, or I don't have the right nutrients), so it's not that big of a loss, but I should get a bigger greenhouse built.
Almost halfway through July na agad
Ilang kembot na lang din "ber" months na ulit.
Mga JMC jokes dito bannable offense, ha? 😂
Q2 Tax na naman!
...Pero hindi pa rin tapos ang flyover sa Molino?
Wag muna maligo today, ang lamig eh >.<
Agree po hahaha
Maligo ka! Minsan lang makakatikim ng malamig na tubig.
mamamatay ba to dito kung hahayaan ko lang siya jan HAHAHA
Magugutom po sya 😢
buhay pa. alive and kicking. we'll see. HAHA siguro 1 week na siya diyan so far
Gusto ko sumali dun sa mga doggie run marathon kaso wala akong dog. So my plan is manghihiram ako ng dog tapos hiramin ko na din yung owner chz.
Well, it's an idea 🤷♀️ I can't get a dog bc we already have enough cats ok. It's a cat-centric household.
TIL the second most popular Duterte (that isn't related to Digong) is Jay Som.
That's why she have her stage name more popularized.
Dapat iedit nya yung Wiki. Puros Duterte nakalagay, lmao.
Got my Marble League ticket!
Thanks for the reminder that this exists, haven't seen any races in a long time.
Now I can drive without license...
::: spoiler spoiler Kasi may digital ID na sa phone ko. Two government-issued digital IDs are enough. :::
Just one more day weekend na. Perfect Baguio weather.
landslide na weather na ba sa baguio?
Uu din haha, Kennon Road was closed the other week. Open now tho.
1 more day 😖
Sana all EU citizen.
The European Council has officially declared that all battery-powered equipment must have removable, easily-replaced batteries by 2027.
Fuck yeah EU.
Android Authority article can be found here.
Hope a similar bill gets passed here. I'd love to go back to the days where I can keep my phone for a bit longer by giving it a new battery. Limited na nga mga firmware updates e, at least let us have this. Also, mga Samsung users can sort of have their worries eased when faced with a swollen battery.
Because EU, we cannot reverse some accidental Google Street View captures. Someone blurred my relatives' property at hirap ibenta hanggang ngayon. Outdated na Street View capture nila (2018 pa, at 5 years later dami ng pagbago sa paligid). Not all times EU is right, though. Google cannot reverse it (of course they can, but they will risk lobbying at EU, again).
A sideways, though, but okay...
I wish that replaceable batteries on smartphones make a comeback. Because of this, nagtagal ang first Android phone ko (Samsung Galaxy Mini) ng anim na taon. Phones with non-replaceable batteries forcing us to buy new one.
Oof. GDPR related to no? Definitely EU is not the whole paradise one thinks it should be.
I agree though, replaceable batteries and siguro right to repair. Then again I think ok naman yung right to repair seeing as there are quite a good number of phone repair shops. I just hope this country doesn't take the US route and gouge consumers' eyes out with exhorbitant fees at an authorized repair center.
Yeah. Many Google Maps users complain this feature, even from EU and N.A.
And now EU, may balak na mag-scan ng chats kahit sa mga privacy-focused services.
I hope so too. Mas convenient mag baon ng maninipis na Anker li-ion batteries na isasalpak mo lang and have a fully charged phone kaysa sa powerbank.
Thank goodness. Gagamit lang ako ng phone outside kapag may chat and email notifications. Kinabukasan pa icha-charge ulit.
10 years ago, I had a Zerolemon battery attached to my phone and it allowed me to last 3 days without a charge. No need to lug around powerbanks or wait for your phone to charge before you touch it again.
Would be awesome to have those times back with the current phones that can't seem to hold a full charge for more than half the day.
Totoo. Now we have a phone, cable, AND a chonky powerbank we need to bring around and this gets worse as wear and tear gets to your phone unit as the years go by. Maganda rin ung option for other branded battery packs (provided they prove their worth).
I do hope they also give the consumer leeway in the future for right to firmware updates (which is unlikely given the potential of lost profits), but a man can dream.
Hey guys! Can anyone give me suggestions for an activity for a date? For some context we’re already in a relationship and I’m running out of an ideas for a date. 😅
Beach dates? High-end? Bar dates? Picnic? Museum?
Me, at 10am: Buti na lang wala akong bebe, di ko problema ung mga ganyan 🙂🤡
Me, at 10pm: bebu, kelan ka ba darating sa bohai ko 🥲🥹
HAHAHHAHA 🥲
Please do note that some of these options have a bit of a high price point.
Workshop type dates:
I Did It Myself Bakery sa may Megamall. Basically you both can make a cake from scratch in their kitchen. I do believe they accept walk-ins, but not sure on this.
BakeBePH sa may SM Aura/BGC area. Same concept as IDIMB above, but in BGC area.
Sip and Gogh - you paint, and you can drink wine while you're painting as a couple. Can't see anything wrong with that lmao.
Wood Academy and Craft MNL- woodworking workshops (bit pricey)
Tahanan Pottery and Wabi Sabi Studio - If you want to get your Patrick Swayze rizz on (wink), pottery classes are the way to go. I believe there are more pottery studios.
More Physical/Movement oriented dates:
If you have time to plan ahead, why not try doing a walking tour around manila, preferably with this guide - a bit pricey sa shopee, but it's a nice plan that you can follow either to the letter, or have happy little couple moments along the way.
Kornets ng mayayaman 😅
Ang corny na, ang cheesy pa.
r/Philippines pa rin ba o dapat c/Philippines na?
WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes will blow Hollywood businesses and studio productions. Damn it!
And for the right reasons. The only ones that could be negatively affected are the other support jobs related to Hollywood productions.
Writers should at least get a fair share of the residuals (iirc residuals are profits from streaming services). South Park, late night shows, Daily Show, Mad TV, and SNL are few examples of how huge an impact a good writing team can have on a show, and I'm still only talking about comedy.
Imagine all of your favorite series' going the route of GoT's last season. That's what will happen when you remove humanity out of the equation for writing a show. Though, tbf, the writers were still human, just were not perceptive enough at the consequences of rushing the storyline at the time of the last season.
I'm guessing all big production companies are going long on AI, thinking that although writing will be terrible, it will learn and improve in the future. At least, that is my (wild) speculation.
AI may be perfect but it ain't human, and human is just how I like my shows to be.
They seem to really want to double down on AI. They apparently even thought that they should be allowed to scan filming extras and use their likeness for current and future projects, all for one day's pay.
A-list actors might want to show solidarity on the side of the Writers' Guild, because as soon as writing goes AI, it's quite possible that so will they as actors. Iirc medyo murky pa ang legal stuff for deepfakes, so yeah.
Imagine, AI adapting Chris Nolan's or Quentin Tarantino's or Paul Thomas Anderson's filmography. lol
Dude, these protests affecting my ghostwriting. Current AI tools can't write and replicate emotions, man. Seeing the Apple TV's "Ghosted" is evidently clear that no one was writing. These corporates want to make their contents as cheap as possible and dump them into streaming services.
eyes on Netflix, Disney and Prime Video
Main argument nung sa writer's strike is that writers are not getting their rightful share of the profit. Moreso with the widespread plan to adopt AI to further reduce the perceived costs on hiring actual writers. Writers want AI out of the production. It's affecting you now, but it's going to make everything shitty in the next coming years if it's not opposed. That includes the need to hire ghost writers.
This was discussed by my contacts a month before WGA strike begun. Until now, I can't still reach them, either email or Teams.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Yey! Sana naman sa next update may mod tools kahit papano. Paparating na ang mga trolls, nararamdaman ko na. The spam bots, the hack, sila naman susunod.
Edit: It says mp4 is supported, but I tried opening my post yesterday with an embedded mp4 video and it still doesn't work.
Ang weird na wala pang skyrim na community sa lemmy.world. Merong skyrim mod community pero wala like skyrim talaga.
I've been using Globe@Home fixed wireless for my home internet since the height of the pandemic. It was serviceable, with bandwidth ranging from 5Mbps to 10Mbps. Enough for browsing, Youtube/Netflix, remote work, and the occasional large downloads.
But last night I got to test a 5G router with a DITO SIM and I was getting up to 600Mbps download in my area. I also tried my own Globe@Home SIM with the 5G router and surprisingly got a 5G signal as well, albeit at 40Mbps download.
Now I'm mulling if I should ditch the Globe account over a DITO account (with a plan that offers the same 5G router I tested) or if I should just go with my original plan to buy an open-line 5G router. I'm still leaning towards the latter, but there's not a lot of choices for a good 5G router and they're hella expensive.
What 5G router do you have? I've been looking for one, but couldn't find anything that was even close to reasonable in terms of price.
My Globe@Home router is just a generic 4G CPE they labelled as Streamwatch. But the 5G router/model I tested is called China Unicom 5G CPE VN007 which costs around 9K on almost every Shopee/Lazada store. I was also recommended a HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 - Router it seems to be pricier and it's harder to discern if the seller is legit. But yeah, most of them tend to be really expensive.
No issues ba when installing a new router? Medyo na intimidate ako before when I wanted to add a good router for my PLDT kasi you need to make their generic routers a bridge to the actual modem you want to use. I was wondering if this is the case for Globe, or any other ISP here?
walang data cap?
Yund DITO SIM na pinahiram sakin prepaid. Pero yung sa site nila meron 990PHP/200GB data cap, and 1490PHP/Unli data. Yung router na nasa DITO site same dun sa pinahiram sakin pero open-line.
As for my Globe@Home plan, it's just a 999PHP/120GB data cap that's no longer being offered by Globe. Generally hindi ko naman nauubos yung 120GB so I have no real incentive to get a better plan at a higher price. Medyo wary din ako sa DITO kasi yung nagpahiram hindi rin sure sa coverage and hindi kami pareho ng experience sa bandwidth performance. It may have to do with saturation sa area and range limits ng 5G.
With the recent Oshi No Ko debacle on incest, now I'm trying to rationalize society's unfavorable opinion on incest. What element in incest makes it bad? If both people love each other romantically, is of the right age and neither was coerced into doing so, then what right does society have to keep them apart?
Okay, someone may argue that the same bloodline can cause genetic deformities and disorders in their offspring. I get that (Hapsburg jaw is a thing after all). But if that's the case, then shouldn't we also frown upon getting together with people with inheritable diseases (i.e., heart disease, cancers, diabetes), genetic disorders, or harmful lifestyles (i.e., cigarette smoking) that increase the risk of offspring suffering due to those inherited ailments/disorders? AAAAAAHHHH
Now I can't seem to find how incest is objectively and morally harmful to society. Does anyone know a strong argument against it?
ang mahal ng mga punyetang photoset HAHAHAHA
dapat magbenta rin ako ng akin para may pambili aq. kaso pangit paa q
Ayan bumuhos na ang malakas na ulan after nearly an entire day flirting with it.
Safe travels sa mga nasa labas pa ngayon.
Anong silbi nito?? hahahaha

Mag-ingat sa mga content creators na may Dr. sa pangalan, pero walang M.D. sa dulo. Usually, di sila medical doctors.
Leave Twitter already. Ano ba?!
Go outside and play lato-lato
Pero ayaw pa din lumipat ng mga fanart illustrators sa ibang platform e 🥴
Bakit daw? Kung hindi man sila umalis sa Twitter completely, pwede naman nila gawing back-up sites ung Mastodon or Pixelfed. Sayang naman work nila kung bigla mawala dahil may pumalpak sa Twitter mngt.
Masyado raw kasing "big brain" kahit man lang pag-browse sa mga nabanggit na platform, kaya ang karamihan sa kanila, either lumipat sa Tumblr o mag-stay, for the fandom feels nga eh.
