Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What’s the most overrated tourist destination?
Boracay
I would say Baguio but that's mainly because I'm not a tourist here.
Same sentiments, but then again we are residents. The weather is nice, other than that, there's really not much.
Troooo? Jan pa naman gusto pumunta ng parentals para magbakasyon
you will enjoy it if you come during non holiday weekdays
Not exactly "tourist" in the strictest sense but I still hear people treating Gilmore as the go-to place for PCs when that hasn't been the case since 2005, and even moreso with the advent of online shopping and mom-and-pop stores.
Baguio. Man, that city was crowded as fuck, terrible traffic situations. My first and (maybe) last visit was with my family back in 2012.
It's even worse now during holidays, weekends, and special events like festivals. It's much better to visit during weekdays.
I had a nightmare of being stuck in a toxic relationship. Ending: naki-pag bargain pa ako sa kanya para makuha niya na lahat ng gusto niya sakin, so I can finally be free and off myself kasi wala na nga siyang makukuha and there's no advantage of keeping me around. Naka-smile pa ako nun, and then I woke up. Mabigat sa pakiramdam 10/10.
I think if I were to categorise my bad dreams na naalala ko it would either be someone dying or me being in a toxic relationship and trying to get out of it so badly. Other kinds of fears, I can usually overcome them in dreamland pero yung dalawang yan it does reoccur.
Makes me feel anxious. Wooh! Gusto ko na lang mag therapy. Lol.
yung nightmares ko naman ay habulan scenes. either ako yung hinahabol o ako yung naghahabol. kapag ako yung hinahabol, kadalasan hindi ko kilala yung pursuer. minsan humans, minsan monsters.
pero kung ako yung naghahabol, kadalasan, mga taong kakilala ko, yung mga taong gusto kong kasama. at bihira ko sila maabutan.
for both scenarios, i usually wake up tired, as if i did run for miles in real life.
running nightmares are normal, one of the most common dream/nightmare themes
yes, they are common. just wanted to share that in my case, familiarity with those involved is clearly binary - strangers when pursued, known when i am the pursuer. or is that common too?
Lemmy I’m sorry I have failed you. Yesterday I opened Reddit because of more content.
Fuck spez…
It's alright. I open Reddit every so often, but I stopped posting altogether. They don't need any more content.
I still mainly use Reddit for movie/anime/manga discussion threads.
Good morning ✨ kumusta kayooooo
Good morning ayel zee
Have a nice day, legendary clintz!
Sync is officially available! Browsing through the app via lemm.ee right now. Need ko pa timplahin best settings but so far so good. Mukhang may mod tools din.
It's so goood!!!!
I can't find it. Enabled naman sa settings, but no mod tools button on posts
May bago na naman nauuso na double feature:
SAW PATROL!
When my smallest of dreams won't come true...
Gusto ko lang naman tumira sa maaliwalas na bahay 🙃
Huh. Just received a Flash SMS message from Smart that sort of looks like an ad. I remember it says for more info, visit their website or something.
I thought that this message should only be used for emergencies.
I'm trying to slowly de-google, but not in an unrealistic way. I'm still using an Android phone and I'm subscribed to YT Premium for my family, but I'm migrating critical things such as email and accounts I've registered using that email.
I can't believe the amount of accounts I've accumulated over time. It's such a pain to move, especially when the site or app doesn't have a self-service feature for changing emails.
I'm slowly weaning myself off Chrome with their current push for what's essentially DRM for websites. It really feels like the season for reconsidering how we interact online.
I agree. Google has really come a long way from "Don't be evil".
I maintain a domain for my personal usage. With domain, I can easily jump from one email service to another. Currently, naka-MS Outlook ako, because... lulz.
Yeah, I considered doing that before deciding to just use email aliases. Pretty satisfied with my decision so far but in case I reconsider, which domain registrar would you recommend?
I have my domain at Namecheap. They have free email forwarding up to 100 aliases.
+1 for Namecheap. Been using them for more than a decade now. Reliable and (as their name says) cheap.
Test post using Sync for Lemmy.
Edit on desktop: Post went through but I can't view the comments as I keep getting 403.
Naka-maintenance mode LW dahil sa DDoS attacks ulit. You can see and open threads but no comments.
migrate to lemm.ee? lol
I forgot na ngayon pala magiging effective yung price increase sa LRT.
Edit: LRT 1 and 2 lang pala ang nagtaas, hindi MRT 3, though they're considering it.
Sinabi sakin mabait raw ako kasi wala akong kaaway / nababangga sa work. Idk if I'd call that mabait tho. I just mind my own business, try to do a decent to good job and don't take anything personally.
What I do take personally ay si ateng sisingit na nga sa harap ko sa pila siniko pa ako. So siniko ko siya palikod. You don't do contact sports with me like that, pumapalag ako 😤 chz. Yung totoo, kung peaceful yung pagsingit niya I would have just shrugged it off, dadating naman din yung turn ko eh. Mabilis lang naman yung pila, what's one person more.
I guess ang ayaw ko lang ay to be seen as a pushover. Hmph.
Can you feel me inside your heart
As it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you
Can be loved
went to The Whiffenpoofs concert thing
di naman nilangaw hahaha just wasn't expecting that they did almost pure standard jazz acappella
kinda wishing sound was a little better, not sure if what they had in the theater were omnidirectional or whatever, we often used boom mics, anything else pretty much doesn't give justice especially they were doing jazz shit with their complex harmonies i felt andaming di narinig
they were pretty good though lmao every member is pretty much a soloist shit HAHA im just left a bit wishing i could hear some classical shit those don't come too often
also s/o to Lumi and the Butterflies like who tf does that shit nowadays? string ensemble performing originals that are pretty pop-passable with guitar, cello, 2 vocal, 2 violins(?), and banduria(?) yooo what if they could do bluegrass too. keep it up! kailangan natin palitan Silent Sanctuary HAHAHA
Second seasoning na!
Archive ko nga muna dito yung pun ko bago pa man angkinin ng tine train na AI ng redd!t hehehe
oh wait💀Post mo sa c/Filipuns para magkalaman, hehe.
