Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What do you miss about quarantine in 2020?

12

I miss the slow-paced lifestyle. I loved the feeling of waking up and having nothing on my agenda. No plans, no responsibility, no expectations. I could exist without having to worry about keeping up with anxiety-inducing social demands.

9

The memes, like this parody of Metal Gear Solid.

Meron din prepper group in FB that wanted to team up together for a real life version of The Division so that they could come to people's aid during the pandemic against looters and rioters. Dami ko tawa kasi sa wakas nakahanap na sila ng excuse i-relive yung fantasy nila.

8

i love that a lot of artists at that time were doing lives on insta, tiktok, etc. made it feel like they were somehow accessible hehe

7

PhP38/L gas prices is my practical answer.

Pero in my heart siguro, yung smogless skyline ng Manila. Yung mga photos na may visible mountains sa timeline ko at that time probably helped me in coping with the situation.

7

Being at home with my dogs 24/7. And also the ph subreddit random discussions were really fun back then

6

The massive amount of free time na bigla na lang ihahanda sa'yo on a silver platter.

Wished na nagamit ko yun for upskilling rather than binging, though didn't regretted doing the latter din naman.

6

Empty roads. Napilitan ako mag-bike nung start ng pandemic kasi no work no pay me kami, ang sarap magbike sa gitna ng EDSA hahaha

6

not a lot actually, it was a moment of hardship and not earning money and not being able to explore

We're now listed as one of the official alternative sites on sub.rehab to r/PH including the Discord.

sana mag-boom din yun Matrix as alternative sa discord, para di na talaga tayo rely sa big companies.

8

that is great news. hopefully other ph communities will be added in the future. (i have also set up one for general phtravel but have not populated it yet).

Siguro instead of feeling bitterness towards those who choose to go back to Reddit, we can instead help each other build this community up to be its own thing with its own culture and inside jokes.

Tiwala lang, magkakaroon din tayo ng poop knife stories dito soon. 😌✨

14
lemmy.world

Si Clintoy lang naman bitter sa mga bumalik ahahaha

But in all seriousness — while some users can be annoying — kay Spez + yung mga alipores nya pa din nakafocus inis ko. That's also why I'm still in self-imposed Reddit exile. Well, bukod sa pagbaklas ng r/thevisoria.

8

Rome was not built in a day and all that hoopla.

Also if we stay mad at the users, we're just playing into the hands of corporate: to make it a mods vs users or users vs users thing when the real enemy is Steve and is greed.

6

True. Sobrang misdirected talaga nung aggression nung iba sa mga bumalik sa subreddits nung nag-reopen.

I want Lemmy to thrive para naman hindi lang sa Reddit napupunta yung information but the transfer won't happen in a snap. They can't expect people to acclimate here agad. It's like forcing redditors to be comfortable in a bare house.

May bagong trip si Kimchi (the one in my profile pic) Ayaw kumain ng dry food kapag nasa bowl, kelangan HAND FED para kumain. Gahd. High maintenance.

13

Semi-polite lang. In fairness sa kanya, soft paws (no claws) sya kapag nakikipaglaro samen, pero nangangagat 🤦‍♀️

Tapos medyo default Karen face sya kapag naghahantay ng food. Very disappointed na late ng 5mins ung dinner nya

9
lemmy.world

Legit. Napaka mahal na nga ng food nya (Orijen), gusto sinusubuan pa.

Cuties na lang kaya bigay ko sa mokong na to para at least hindi masakit sa bulsa. 🤦‍♀️

6

Same tayo ng naming convention.

Una ko actually pinangalanan ung kapatid nya, si Oh Ren Ji, or just Renji. Tapos para korean theme din. Kim Chi. Ahahaha

Oh Renji tax

Baka whisker fatigue kung maliit/mataas yung sides ng food bowl. Or talagang pasosyal lang at feeling egyptian god.

4
lemmy.world

Ay pwede! Though shallow-ish naman yung bowl nila

Pero I'll try na sa plato nga sya pakainin. Sana naman hindi magdemand na dapat Corelle yung plato nya. Ahahaha.

Thank you for the advice!

edit: Corelle kasi hindi Corel.

4

Kimchi: Bakit di pwede ang Corelle, aber? I deserve the very best!

How do you feel about Quiboloy's YT channel being suspended, thanks to Mutahar?

lemmy.world

Ayan, may sakit na ako officially. Buti na lang nagpa check up ako despite my fears. Ni-recommend sakin 1 week bed rest + meds. Hindi ko alam kung ma-ppush yan, but I would welcome bed rest actually lol. Sabi ko na nga iba na yung sakit nung feeling ko kukunin na ako ni lord eh.

Grabe pala yung hilo ko kanina pansin na ng mga tao tapos muntik pa ako mahulog sa hagdanan. So that's why they kept asking me kung kaya ko pa maglakad. Hindi ko talaga napansin na nilalagnat na ako, ganun na ako kasabaw during check up yet I was still paying attention to the time bc gurl iniwan ko yung work ko and may TAT yun and all. I pat myself on the back for that time management manuever.

It's nice to be alive. Hindi ko na uulitin yung dire-diretso mag work and etc shutangina ko. So much for experimentation 💀

It's nice to be diligent pero wag tayo maging masyadong masipag, self. I'm sorry, but I have a thing for good to perfect attendance and just general decent track record 😔😭 I am that kind of person 🥲

11

thank you for sharing this and for the reminder! hoping you feel better and get well soon! ✨

5

Same. I just found out about it last night lang when trying to find ways to install the firefox extension for bypassing paywalls. It also works in Samsung Internet as well.

5
lemmy.world

Sorry, this one still lives rent free in my head. Idiots indeed.

9

May bago pala siya thread na nahukay, haha. Tbf, gets ko naman why BoC dislikes the guy (if you've read the thread he found) pero mali pa rin yung mga accusations.

7

Okay since new universe, new personality na rin dapat ako. Kaso I still can't change myself. Back in Reddit I post a lot about my relationship troubles and I thought kaya ko na tiisin. But please allow me to vent out. I have no support groups. I think my friends hate me din. Literally nowhere to dump my emotional baggage to.

I just hope things will turn out okay. However that may be. I feel really alone. Been mood tracking lately and by the love of god, mas lalo lang naexpose na I always feel down for the last 2 weeks. I'm afraid that I might lose my job if this continues on kasi ang crippling din talaga.

I hope everyone is doing great. I envy you, guys. I wish I can feel genuine happiness again.

9

Using a cheap earphone to listen to spotify. Naging karaoke version lol hindi ko marinig yung singer.

9

Tapos nasa beach ka at may seksing babae sa harap mo na naglalakad at gumagalaw nang slow mo

3

I’ve been feeling a bit neglected lately. Or I’m probably just asking for too much attention. Or maybe I’m asking the wrong person for attention. Or maybe people just have different priorities now. It’s the worst feeling

8

Test ko lang ulit kung pwedeng gumamit ng external image without uploading

lemmy.world

Baka pag nakalipat na ako dun sa bagong kong kwarto, mawala na tong bad juju for the past few months. Or maybe I really need to touch grass and leave the internet for a while

Heeeey. I like this wallpaper. Can I have it? I'm running retro 1 bit icons. It will go great with this.

3

Upscaled Bliss rules! lol

Wallhaven is one I oftentimes visit whenever I need to change my wallpaper. I have this Bliss last year pa. I got it here

It's simple, no overstuffed features we have seen on mainstream email services. That's all I need, simplicity, aside from encrypted inbox. I don't want Gugel or MS scanning my inbox, kahit puro resibo lang.

group.lt

aside from it being a privacy-respecting service, it just looks lovely. i prefer dark-mode for most things but the white and maroon (with lots of white space combo) of the tutanota light mode is very nice.
i also both have protonmail and disroot. with the proliferation of scams, people should be more mindful of having a dedicated email account for banking.

2

I have my own personal domain. It is so easy to jump from current mailbox to another. Lahat na mag email sa aking aliases, diretso sa mailbox kung saan naka-set ang DNS setting ng domain ko

Was there any time when you won a game and decided to not stop the game until a struggling opponent has finished? Because I did it once. Saw it as torture to the opponent

2

I remember learning to do T-spins, and having a so-so battle record, but that's about it. It seemed cool at the time.

Im currently reading on the genealogy of morality by Nietzsche at sumakit lang ulo ko sa kanya. Now ko lang na maximize yung pag gamit ko nang Kindle. Ang saya ko at nakakapag basa na ulit ako as my hobby.

unfortunately yung isang game sub na nandun ako hindi makalipat. Naging main sub na kasi siya ng game series eh

Pansin ko rin pala baligtad ang kulay ng mga arrow dito.

Periwinkle yung upvote, tapos orangered yung downvote.

6

Speaking of colors, a few months ago I found out that there are people who earn good money (the linked video said it costs a whopping USD 213) giving advice on which colors suit one's skin tone.

Naturally, I gave it a quick watch. I'm not necessarily going to spend that much (yet???), but damn some of the comments/analysis kinda make sense, or maybe it's just the price tag lol

If the NBA actually grants Las Vegas a team, they should bring back the Sonics as well para perfect 32 teams

6
clintoy23reply
lemmy.world

Memphis and Minnesota should transfer to the eastern conference if Seattle and Vegas will have their own teams. Or better yet, abolish the conferences and just have top 16 seeding for the playoffs.

3

No, only one Western team needs to move to the East para 16-16

While at it, let's revive the old 4-division format:

Pacific: Sonics, Blazers, Kings, Warriors, Clippers, Lakers, Suns, Vegas
Midwest: Jazz, Nuggets, Thunder, Mavericks, Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies, Pelicans
Central: Wolves, Bucks, Bulls, Pacers, Pistons, Cavaliers, Raptors, Hawks
Atlantic: Celtics, Nets, Knicks, Sixers, Wizards, Hornets, Magic, Heat

2
lemmy.world

I think dalawa talaga dapat if need mag-expand para balanced. NOLA kasi took Seattle's place.

3
Yeonturareply
lemmy.world

No, NOLA took the Hornets in 2002, and OKC received the Sonics in 2008

2

Oo nga pala, naguluhan na ako. Then Charlotte dropped Bobcats and took Hornets back when NOLA switched to Pelicans.

I feel these random waves of weakness sometimes, di ko na lang alam kung kulang ba ako sa kain o ano. Parang kukunin na ako ni lord ganun. Well...good riddance? Chz.

Medyo natatakot tuloy ako magpa check up, what if mag positive talaga ako and something's actually wrong that will change my life forever? ^I kind of want to play ignorant even if I know it's bad.^

It might be because nagbago yung diet ko and my body does not like it. Ito na, ito na, babalik na ako sa dati wag ka na tampo

Health is wealth, health is wealth, health is wealth mas maganda talaga kapag ako naghahanda ng pagkain ko. Fine.

matutulog na sana ako kaso biglang nagalert yung calendar na may meeting pala, nakakainis, ang sakit sa ulo ng naudlot na idlip hmp

What's your daily routine?

For me it's work, eat, play games, sleep, prepare for work. With a bit of exploring here and there.

6

Recently it's been meditation, Light reading, shower, bit of listening to podcasts otw to the gym, gym, shower, breakfast, work, walk while listening to podcasts going home, skill learning, read/journal, sleep.

On no-gym days, just a quick HIIT or C25k.

Weekends are more for friends/family/gf/hiking/charge time.

Mind you, I don't always do everything listed, but this is more or less how the day flows.

6

Ako lang ba or sobrang lag nung front page ng lemmy. Nung chineck ko process manager sa firefox 4gb for that tab lang 💀

6

Is it just me na lumiit ang density ng UI ni Lemmy sa mobile web, particularly on Firefox? I prefer this over the previous one. Di ko pa na-check aa desktop.

Naka-align na sa akin ang Subscribed, Trending, at Sidebar tabs sa home.
