TANGINA BAT ANG HIRAP MAG HANAP NG TRABAHO NGAYON?
TATLONG TAON NA AKONG TAMBAY POTA!

Eto nga pala nagnakaw ng phone ko

TFW di nila nilagay kung bakit, napag usapan man lang sana yung context.

Reddit censorship is real na. Nahawahan na rin sila ng virus ng mga reddit admins. Samantalang di pa rin nareresolve yung isyu ng mga screenshot shitposters sa sub. Pathetic. /slow claps to boredom/

Kung anong "kinaganda" ng members ninyo saka naman kinapangit ng mga ugali ninyo! Amoy poser at catfish po kayong lahat! Ma permaban sana kayo! Mga putang pretentious choosy elitist pieces of shit!

“Edi ikaw na yung matalino!”
“Ang dami mong alam”
“Edi ikaw na yung magaling sa grammar!”
“Know-it-all”
“Ikaw na top 1”

This phenomenon is called 'Smart-shaming' or 'Anti-intellectualism'.

Ano nga ba ito? Smart-shaming is the act of shaming other people for the sole reason of being smart, or in some cases downgrading themselves or someone else for being dumb. This phenomenon is slowly spreading and will continue to spread unless stopped. Marami sa atin ang walang kamalay malay na ginagawa na pala natin ito.

Bakit ba natin to ginagawa? Why do we Smart-shame people?
Why do we say “Ikaw na yung madaming alam!” when someone shares an idea or a thought that is deep and discussable? Hindi ba pwedeng makisali nalang sa usapan upang may matutunan? Hindi ba pwedeng magbigay na rin nang ideya upang mas umunlad?

Bakit natin sinasabing “English-english pa”/“Edi ikaw na yung magaling sa English” when someone speaks or writes in the English language? English is taught to us on all levels of education– from elementary to college– so why do we hinder other people on using it? Why do we downgrade ourselves or put that person to shame when they speak it? Hindi ba pwedeng sabihin nalang na mag-tagalog yung kausap para mas maintindihan? Hindi ba pwedeng pag-aralan ang linggwahe upang mas maging magaling dito?

Men ask why women are so pissed off, even guys with wives and daughters. Jackson Katz, a prominent social researcher, illustrates why. He's done it with hundreds of audiences:

"I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other.
Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take, on a daily basis, to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted? At first there is a kind of awkward silence as the men try to figure out if they've been asked a trick question. The silence gives way to a smattering of nervous laughter. Occasionally, a young a guy will raise his hand and say, 'I stay out of prison.' This is typically followed by another moment of laughter, before someone finally raises his hand and soberly states, 'Nothing. I don't think about it.'
Then I ask the women the same question. What steps do you take on a daily basis to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted? Women throughout the audience immediately start raising their hands. As the men sit in stunned silence, the women recount safety precautions they take as part of their daily routine.
Hold my keys as a potential weapon. Look in the back seat of the car before getting in. Carry a cell phone. Don't go jogging at night. Lock all the windows when I sleep, even on hot summer nights. Be careful not to drink too much. Don't put my drink down and come back to it; make sure I see it being poured. Own a big dog. Carry Mace or pepper spray. Have an unlisted phone number. Have a man's voice on my answering machine. Park in well-lit areas. Don't use parking garages. Don't get on elevators with only one man, or with a group of men. Vary my route home from work. Watch what I wear. Don't use highway rest areas. Use a home alarm system. Don't wear headphones when jogging. Avoid forests or wooded areas, even in the daytime. Don't take a first-floor apartment. Go out in groups. Own a firearm. Meet men on first dates in public places. Make sure to have a car or cab fare. Don't make eye contact with men on the street. Make assertive eye contact with men on the street.”

Feminism is fascism

Sahib does not fuck around

Basta may alak may balak.

Wala ng intro intro putang ina nyo agad!
Wala kayong respeto sa mga kababaihan tang ina nyo (puta lakas makapogi).

Yung mga gantong kainuman pre, dapat laging iwasan especially for the ladies. Sila yung laging may masamang motibo sa kainumang babae pag natipuhan. Isang kalabit lang sa tropa na kakilala ng babae "Pre sino yun pre? Pwede ba yan?" Pag sinabeng "Di pre nakabakod na yan". Dyan na papasok yung putang inang ajinomoto pre mga tarantado amputa.

Sila den yung mga PANGET na makakapal mukha tas may gusto sa babae. Alam nila sa sarili nila na di sila papatulan kaya dadaanin sa masamang paraan. Sabi nga nila "Kung ayaw sayo, vetsinin mo". Mas mabilis kasi makahilo ang vetsin pag hinalo sa kahit anong alak.

Ayon sa survey 112% na gumagawa neto mga fuccboii. Gago di talaga mawawala sa bulsa nila pre. Wala na ngang ambag lakas pa ng loob mang vetsin. Sarap nyong lunurin sa dagat dagatang apoy.

Yung ibang babae naman nagpapangap lang na na-vetsin. Hindi ka maganda tanga wag kang judgemental. Self-proclaim na na-vetsin amputa isa ka rin e.

LTFRB's requirements for Uber and Grab was to follow a set of checklists as stipulated for franchise application and some have not been complied. Shouldn't we be angry at Uber and Grab's upper echelons the same way as LTFRB's dense mindset and rabid attitude towards these drivers? What Uber and Grab management did was to fill up their ranks rapidly and allowed new driver-partners operate without completing these requirements to answer the high demand for their service.

One of the requirements is having your own private parking space. Yet, there were some partners who were allowed to have 2-3 cars (this was shared to me by a grab driver personally) and he just parks them in front of their house. Doesn't it already defeats the purpose of decongesting NCR's appalling traffic?

Both parties exhibited toe-curling greed, ineptitude and negligence at the expense of these hardworking, professional and honest drivers. Uber and Grab exploited their service's high demand and LTFRB was too vague in defining their regulations and too slow in processing the rapidly increasing franchise applications.

Don't get me wrong. Uber and Grab offer unparalleled service compared to these bitch ass taxis and I want them to remain for good. But I think we might be barking at the wrong tree this time. Let's know the facts first before letting our emotions get the best of our reasoning.

Let's remember that there's always two sides to every story.
Wag mag-mamaru, mag-mema, at maki-bandwagon.

Filipinos are renowned for being utterly unable to co-operate. Even within families they cheat and abuse each other. Nobody trusts anybody else for a very good reason: most Filipinos are untrustworthy. They’ll stab you in the back if they think there’s some short-term gain in it.

This is a hole that’s very hard to dig yourself out of. Nobody can offer to help his neighbor, or his neighborhood, or his country, because he knows that sooner or later one of two things will happen: he’ll be slapped down for failing to conform to social expectations, or he’ll be ripped off so often that he’ll just give up.

So exactly how do you suppose a strong, independent nation is going to be built upon that? It’s impossible.

Strong societies are strong because they learn to co-operate among themselves. There’s nothing shameful about teaming up with others for mutual benefit: in other words, helping each other. But the Filipino sees everything as a power play. He cannot comprehend the idea of win-win co-operation, or interaction between equals. He must either debase himself or assert himself with arrogance.

Somehow, Filipinos need to adopt the values you ridicule: that is, the motivation that encourages “meddlers” to offer to help. While I agree that those meddlers rarely have any clue what they’re talking about, some of them do; but because the Filipino adopts the motto “trust no one”, without attempting to evaluate the individual, he can never be helped, and he can never help himself. All he can ever receive is charity, and all he can ever give is fealty.

Paradoxically, then, the Filipino version of “strength” – we don’t need you meddling meddlers! – ends up making the country weaker than it needs to be.

What kind of children are we creating???

A few weeks ago, I had attended a birthday party of my daughter’s friend. There they played a game, the age old ‘Passing the parcel’, however, what was different was the way it was played. The child who was caught with the parcel when the music stopped was asked to leave the circle, but with that parcel as the gift, and then a new parcel was introduced. The game continued till every child got a gift. I asked the mother what was wrong with the earlier version, the version we had all grown up with.

She said – “I do not like kids to be disappointed. See, here every child is happy as he or she gets to take a gift home.”

In another instance, I was in the park with my daughter. She was playing lock and key with her friends. Now, one of her friends fell down. Her mother, who was on the other side of the park ran to his son, all confused and upset. She scooped her son in her lap and started inquiring – “Are you hurt? Let me see! Do no cry! Shush, mama is here.”

The child, had a scraped knee, who was perfectly OK till then, started crying earnestly.

I was at a friend’s home for lunch. Her 5-year old daughter refused to eat what was cooked for lunch. My friends felt so guilty that her daughter would go hungry, that she cooked up her favourite pasta immediately. According to her, it was not the first time this had happened.

At the School Sports Day, there are no races, no competition. No first, second or runner ups. Because, everyone is equal, there should be no competition between the kids.

Kids today have a room full of toys and games. Some they ask, some they do not. But, they still get them.
