      After much consideration over the past month, I think carpentry is a skill I’d like to be an expert at. So many opportunities pragmatically and personal projects to fulfill

    Found a pusakal with folded ears, a Puspin fold. Haha. May he continue to evade the authorities. Aggressive manghuli ng pusa yung baranggay where he lives :(

    I normally stick up for Robin when people make dumb statements about him (e.g. “WaLa NaMaN gInAgAwA yAn!”) but his unabashed defense of Quiboloy just takes the cake. Kung naniniwala ka na inosente siya, then why are you blocking the subpoena? Kaya nga siya pinapapunta sa senado to explain his side.

    Tapos “hero” daw kasi si Quiboloy. Yes, so was Jim Jones, Bill Cosby, Harry Roque, Jimmy Savile, OJ Simpson, Chris Benoit, the list goes on. Whatever good they did will never outweigh their depravity.

    This is semi-correct. I still browse Reddit but I use the same account. I don’t see the point of using another considering I don’t post anyway and I admitted many times that I still go there, although admittedly posting IS tempting specifically if there’s an interesting topic.

    On that note, I only had one alternick ever in r/PH and that was filipin0truther. It was a gimmick account intended to confuse people because he would act like the typical “filipinotruther” but also contradict himself by posting Rappler sources and other random threads. Babaw lang ng kaligayahan ko laughing at the reactions (“Truther is a double agent???”, “So okay lang ang Rappler kung pabor sa argument mo?”) Hahahaha.

      Eh, Poe’s law is in effect. truther would absolutely use Rappler as a source if it helped his narrative. He also contradicted himself several times by not actually reading the article he was posting to attack Robredo or anyone associated with the opposition. So your satire may have actually been too accurate. truther is a dumbass and has no integrity after all.

        I’d say r/philippinesbad has legitimate gripes, but I agree the truther’s recent inclusion to the mod team is questionable

    Kahit hindi kasalanan ng nakapatay (kesyo self-defense pa yan or negligence ng victim), the de facto ruling is almost always to charge who killed them kasi dead is dead. Kaya nga tayo may courts e, to prove definitively kung sino culpable.

    Pwede rin kasi na yung SUV tumatakbo above 60 or nakita niya yung rider ahead and had time to avoid him pero sinadya pa rin banggain to teach the rider a lesson knowing he’s in the right. I’m not saying that’s what happened but this is exactly what due process means.

    Inuuna nyo ulit kasi emosyon at inaaway na naman yung constitution at rule of law.

    Wait, totoo ba na mga Quiboloy scholars yung mga bata sa mall na nagbebenta ng overpriced ballpens at otap? Or fake news na naman para sa mga matapobre to pat themselves on the back for not giving?

    Kainis yung nang-video ng daga sa NAIA. Pano daw kung nakita ng foreigner? Who gives a flying fuck what they think? As if naman hindi na sila pupunta ng Pinas pag nakakita sila daga, lol. It’s also one rat in like forever and on our best terminal at that. It’s not like it’s a common occurence. Hambalusin kita ng Taylor Swift poster tube mo e.

    Kaya usong uso mga kabitan at sampalan sa primetime kasi that’s what people want to see. And by people, I mean the masa. Yan yung katulong na kinakaliwa pala ni mister while she’s out there busting her ass. Yan yung sari-sari store/carinderia owner na nagfa-fantasize sa construction worker na araw araw kumakain/bumibili ng softdrinks sa tindahan nila. Yung mga tao na nagse-settle pa rin ng differences nila by means of throwing plates at sinasabunutan yung kabit pag nakita. Yung housewife na taga-saing, taga-laba, taga-luto na may internal turmoil.

    Sa kanila naka-toka ang mga advertisers with their laundry detergents, ginisa mixes, infant formulas, at mga piniprito na processed/preserved foods.

    Ika nga ni Michael Steintorf sa The Wire: “Kids don’t vote”.

    What happened to Killua was tragic. But as always the anger of the internets is misplaced bordering on elitist.

    Mabait daw mga Golden Retriever and na-misinterpret nila yung pagiging playful ng dog to be aggression. You expect some rando in the province to be familiar with purebreds and their traits?? Not to mention that there are cases of GRs killing people or viciously attacking other dogs. I’ve personally seen ours do it, and it’s frightening.

    Instead, reality is much simpler. May higanteng aso na nandadamba at ang ligalig. Nangagat pa nga raw. It’s not far-fetched for them to assume na it’s a rabid dog that’s a danger to people. Hahabulin talaga yan ng taong bayan at papatayin without waiting for the authorities (tanod daw yung pumatay which is the closest thing to an authority figure in that situation). Porcupine nga pauulanan ng quills or pusa mangangalmot kahit gano pa kabait intention ng aso e, tao pa kaya na walang idea.

    In all cases na napapatay aso na may breed, lagi na lang yung pobreng magbabakal o si manong sabungero may kasalanan. Hindi yung may-ari na nagkulang sa pag-ensure na fenced in yung alaga nila. Sure it’s not good to kick people when they’re down, but it’s the harsh truth.
