Last day of the work week!
Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What are you SICK of people constantly telling you?
I hate the "maraming hindi kumakain/maraming nagugutom sa mundo" remark and I really wish the future generations would not adopt it to their lexicon.
Also, as a diabetic, I'm sick and tired of hearing people ask "pwede ba sayo yan?" when they see me eating something sweet.
Ang go-to response ko dito (di ko sure kung kanino ko to unang narinig) is, “Bakit, pag kinain ko ba ‘to, mabubusog na sila?”
mag-asawa ka na
May girlfriend ka na? (I'm gay and currently in a same-sex relationship. I'm in the closet in my family circle) Kailan ka magaasawa? Kailangan mo na magka-anak.
I get most of this questions from my boomer generation family...
"Galit ka?"
"Hindi. Nagpapaliwanag lang.😄" - Yoyong Martirez
You'll be okay. You're strong.
I'm not okay, and it won't make me feel any better. Let me be weak for once.
"Hoy, bakit wala kang pissbook? May tinatago ka ba?"
Oh, yes, kasi privacy.
“May plano ang Diyos.”
Especially heartless thing to say to a suicidal person who thinks his life is only made up of suffering. What would that mean then? That God wants him to suffer? For what? "Mysterious ways?"
Equally galling is to hear something like “Mahal ka ng Diyos,” but it makes it up for being clearer statement by making God a sadist.
Hearing both in quick succession makes me imagine God as that (the) Sims™ player who enjoys putting sims on pools and deleting the ladder, or making sims stay inside 1×1 rooms until they almost die in a puddle of their own pee (and shit), let their bars recover for a bit and repeat the cycle again and again and again until they get bored.
Matulog ka na
Eee gusto ko pa magpuyat huhuu. Emzz 🥲
...That Quirino province apparently exists daw
Naol last work day of the week, I'm still at work and there's still Friday shift which is later tonight.
I'm sick of people constantly telling me that I'm not normal, like I know. I don't need your invalidation.
Kailan ka mag aasawa
Pag hindi ka na makakaattend ng kasal.
Who are they to dictate major life choices? Tapos when they fuck up sa big life-changing decision, sila pa magagalit? Aba tangina nila minamadali nyo ung tao tapos pag palpak kasalanan pa rin nila.
Fuck the concept of Sala sa init, sala sa lamig
Diversion pa more, spez! 😂
inb4 Redditors still using Reddit. Protest or no protest, if these mdfkrs still giving web traffic on Reddit, spez still gaining PR and $$$.
Right now, this is just a junk entertainment.
We can pass off mod privileges to them easily when they move anyway.
Reddit has poppy UI, bruvvv.
lolKaya sila nag-stay dun.Not gonna participate there after what happened recently. We can all agree on that. It isn't special anymore if they keep doing the same thing yearly
How the turntables, I'm rooting for The Void this time 😂
They may take our APIs, but they'll never take our freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom
Quite a shitshow. But I sure as hell ain't gonna discuss this on the big red.
Let 'em burn.
naalala ko rin sa wakas password ko ditoooo! kamusta kayoooo? :D
Time to use a password manager.
Seconding the recommendation to use a password manager. Top recommendation from this community seems to be Bitwarden, but I'll throw in my recommend for KeePassXC as well.
what service do you use to sync or save passwords online with keepass?
I just make use of a master password and then save the password database in my Dropbox. The password database itself is encrypted and locked with the master password so it's relatively safe. That's what their FAQ tells me anyways.
Maybe it's one of the things where KeePass and KeePassXC differ though.
Password manager na yan. Browser or third-party, both can generate random characters and encrypt your password vault. If you don't mind making folders and organize, then browser's built-in is enough, or else go for Bitwarden or Keepass 2
Since I used Bitwarden, I now have no idea on what any of my passwords are, except of course the Master Vault Password, and it's been so convenient.
Good morning! Sana maging masaya tayong lahat 🙂
I started trying 'thrilling' sports for the excitement of it, but it seems like it ended up calming me instead 😆 isn't it interesting?
It's good to try new and different things. I feel that I've started to learn new things about myself (which tbh I thought there was not much to learn more anymore). When I reflect on all of it together, I get this little lightbulb moment and for a moment in time I think I just got a moment wiser hahaha.
For example, I knew that I have this nagmamadaling personality but I never really knew what to do with it. I consider it a flaw for myself, actually.
Now, I get it. I had to temper it out, and doing these sports is helping a lot to temper it. I think it's beautiful. Para akong binigyan ng chance to work on myself some more in a different way.
Seriously, I think I'm becoming more genuinely patient and I'm not just not minding it. It's amazing. I'm really glad and thankful while I'm writing this at 3-4am.
Off to the next adventure~~
What thrilling sports would those be?
Good decision completing the Barbenheimer marathon with Barbie. Way better than I expected.
Also, to the phlemmy that asked the other day if it was going to have commentaries on consumerism and all that: Yes, it does.
I wasn't really expecting Barbie to be that way. I thought Gerwig/Baumbach sold themselves out with this franchise, but they turned 180. Margot Robbie? Damn, after a decade, still a bomb.
They pretty much showed that Barbie was hated by everyone, particularly women for setting feminism back haha. Di ko inexpect that Mattel was going to allow that.
Tapos dami pa mga hamfisted digs on men... na totoo naman, lmao.
Edit: TIL that Matchbox 20's Push was misogynistic. Ngayon lang nag-click sa akin as an adult. Chorus lang kasi alam ko.
The production design? It gave me shivers, lol.
Awww... Baka manood na ko. Kaso when ko pde isingit ito? 😮💨
May pa-watch party ang PFF ng Filipinas v Switzerland sa Ayala Malls Manila bay mamaya. Poster
Kamusta, PHlemmys! Keep hydrated and comfy peeps!
Ito, buhay pa rin.
On my Facebook On This Day a year ago:
Sarina Bolden nag-order daw ng dalawang sisig
Kaya ko ginawa yung reddit account ko several months ago papang r/place ko sana...
Kaya lang, ayun nga, SPEZ HAPPENED.
Some work meetings are just labasan ng sama ng loob that won't get any resolution. Yay!
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
Grabe naman yung football kit ng team ni Katrina Guillou sa Sweden, punong-puno ng ads
Edit: siya yung naka-score sana kanina pero na-offside
Nagstart na akong mag-apply. Gusto ko naman ung current company ko, ung client, ung colleagues, ung culture, at ung sahod. Ayoko ko lang nung trabaho ko ngayon. Feeling ko lalong pumupurol ung skills ko. Nagsabi naman ako sa boss ko na ayoko na nung role kaso parang walang mangyayari. Sad.
Yung mga junior high kids today, mas pro-choice na pala ngayon. It's a pleasant surprise. As a kid, I was against abortion and euthanasia.
Pero sa klase lang ba ng pamangkin ko yun na nasa isang science high school or ganun din sa iba? Naging debate exercise kasi nila yung overturning ng Roe vs Wade.
I remember having a debate on euthanasia during a HS English class quite a more than a couple of handful of years ago.
My Bitwarden is unable to sync for days now
Error Code 7. I recently updated my online bank account's at email account at nalaman ko na lang na hindi naka-sync ang updated credential nung na-lock ang bank account ko.Balik na lang siguro ako sa built-in password manager ng Firefox. Maga-apat na taon na ako sa BW, eh, and perfect timing ngayong Sunday na mae-expire Premium ko.
I appreciate the offline-centric of KeePass derivatives, but I just want to sync my passwords online, para ma-access ko rin siya with someone's device na may Firefox Browser, and also autofill.
edit:
WELP BUMALIK AKO SA KEEPASS, WITH DIFFERENT PERIODIC BACKUP METHODS. HAHAHA
I've read about the error code 7 issue before from this forum and it seems to be related to the BW backend temp blocking IP ranges when it triggers "unusual activity" flags, whatever that means for them.
Switching IP addresses is a potential solution, either from a router reset or via choosing a different endpoint via VPN. Or just waiting for the temp block to be released, but who knows how long a wait that's going to be.
On one hand, I can see how their current solution has potentially saved a ton of accounts from being compromised. On the other, it really prevents the application from it's intended use for most people who don't have VPN or don't have any control over the public IP they're connected to.
I'm worried too about when this issue hits me, so I'm tempted now to self-host a private BW backend instance. But that's a whole slew of things that I really don't want to have to manage.
I've tried setting up my network back to default and solved nothing. I spent $5.50 for Mullvad VPN to change IP address, and still nothing.
Self-hosting is kinda steep on my monthly budget.
Yeah, it might not be worth it effort and price-wise.
sino na kayang na-Seven ni Jungkook? HAHAHA it must the most frustrating thing in the world kung wala pa dahil sa status niya
Came upon this video (piped) and damn gusto ko lang nakaupo, drinking whiskey, looking at the skyline.
Have a good one, Phlemmings!
Masarap uminom ng tsaa pag-umuulan.

They retired the Malditas nickname but no one thought to replace it with the Puzakals?
I'm not sure why they even retired it. The players themselves liked it and have no problem. It's also meant in an endearing way (I believe it was the coach who said it).
Mas okay na yan kaysa calling yourselves "Azkals" while being mostly purebred imports.
VAR grants a penalty for Switzerland, and Bachmann scores before halftime
Dubious penalty, I might add.
Sayang yung goal ni Gillou para sa Puzakals, offside
Oppenheimer good hehe
went to a liemax (apparently? pero andun naman siya sa IMAX website) and while not as optimal as critics would consider i felt it did the film better justice if i'd imagine how it would've looked like on standard cinema (or computer screen hehe)
Went to a Laser IMAX earlier and my conclusion is it wasn't worth it. My advice to those who haven't seen it yet is to just go to the best regular cinema near you and save money. Doesn't need to be ATMOS either as Nolan hates it and doesn't optimize his movies to make use of it.
2-0 for Switzerland (Piubel 64'), that was painful as this was from a quick Swiss attack
FULL TIME Philippines 0 Switzerland 2
At least it didn't end up in a thrashing.
Group A standings
Switzerland 3 pts (+2 gd)
New Zealand 3 pts (+1 gd)
Norway 0 pts (-1 gd)
Philippines 0 pts (-2 gd)
Someone's been trying to access my deactivated FB account. That has prompted me to log in (and hence reactivate my account which I've deactivated a while back), and change my password to a pretty secure one (200 bits of entropy according to my password manager).
I've got to deactivate this shit again. 😮💨
I am also worried whether or not I've walked into a trap (by reactivating my FB account).
This is Facebook doing "inspection." This was happened to me when I had a dummy Facebook account back in 2021.
Somehow, may kakayahan sila mag-access sa account mo na walang pahintulot kahit naka MFA ka.
Wait, what?
The thing that alerted me to this shit is this e-mail from FB:
If that's FB doing inspection, they could have just changed my password without my permission. It's shitty, but it's FB, that's not beneath them.
Odd. I also did receive an email regarding it. I reported it to Facebook. Doubt others could access my account because of MFA.
So it's a thing that's happening to at least a handful of us, huh? I dunno whether to put my tinfoil hat or my casserole hat on, lol! Kidding aside though, it getting more and more plausible to me that there's some "inspection" going on.
Happened to me thrice this week, so there's a funky thing going on.
Yes, this was happened to me, also. Parang gumagawa sila ng ploy na as if may "unauthorized access" sa account mo. At that time, tatlong email from them na-receive ko. Isang email ang napaka-fishy — hinihingan ako ng valid ID at selfie para ma-access ko ulit ang account. Of course, hindi ako nagbigay at ayun makalipas ng ilang buwan, somehow hindi na ako hinihingan ng docs. Dun ko na dinelete ang account ko.
Huh, I see. Thanks for the info.
This is actually the second e-mail I received from them, both of them are of the format I quoted. Requiring a valid ID and a selfie to access my fucking FB account is just so Meta (har! har!)
Maybe it's just my paranoid tendencies speaking, but the reason acted fast this time is because if ever it were someone trying to hack into my account, they might be able to contact my family and relatives, and IDK, ask money from them, I suppose? My immediate family knows what's up though, but for the others? I can't be bothered to explain to them, let alone even talk to them. The only reason I didn't block/unfriend them is because I don't want to deal with any possible fallout.
At any rate, it'd be very weird then if they suddenly think I contacted them to ask for money or sth. Maybe I'm just too paranoid, lol!
This happened to me as well just now. My account isn't inactive, though.
Ang hirap talaga kumawala sa mga ganitong tracker kung hindi alam ang ginagawa. Mas mainam na gumamit na lang FOSS apps o maging aware sa mga permission ng apps mo.
paano mo na view ito?
Plano ko sana magmovie night kaso inaantok na ko 🥱
Matulog sa sinehan. May gigising lang sa iyo.
I'm surprised na nanunuod na si erpat ng football. Sabi niya dati, boring ang football.
Si ermat naman, It's Showtime na ang pinapanuod from TVJ's Eat Bulaga and T.A.P.E.'s Eat Bulaga before.
