The new COVID variant appears to be worse than advertised. Keep wearing masks and stay safe, everyone.
What makes it worse is some people's response to it. An alarming number of people have not only stopped caring, but also have started to think that it's all manufactured hysteria by big pharma.
That said, I never stopped wearing face masks when outside of my house. Mas maganda itsura ko pag naka-mask eh! HAHAHAHA!
Thanks for reminding me that I have to order a few more boxes of facemasks..
Ibang klaseng araw talaga ngayon. The sunlight is quite spicy on the skin haneppp
Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What infamous movie plot hole has an explanation that you're tired of explaining?
Not really a movie, pero the anime series, No game no life. Kapag nalalaman ng weeb friends ko na binasa ko ung novel, eto yung madalas na tinatanong.
Q: Baket parang mag-jowa si Shiro at Sora? Hindi ba magkapatid sila?
Hindi sila related by blood, step siblings sila. Not that it makes it any better. lol
Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring Philippine top charts section sa YouTube Music. For some reason, naka-default sa Indian top charts ang homepage sa tatlong YouTube account ko.
I struggle to play YT live streams on Firefox as compared to Chromium-based browsers. Fucking Google sabotaging the remaining browser engine competition.
Isipin mo yun, Tiger! Tawang tawa ako nung nakita yan sa fb
Hindi ko alam kung algorithm lang o blindly nirecommend sa akin, haha.
Hello, lemmy test ulet..
Hello world! I'm looking forward to enjoying my weekend. I hope I can, I really need some time off everything.
Chinese carmaker is planning to invest in car manufacturing in Germany. High wages is not an issue for them.
Interesting, given that German manufacturers have long outsourced production to India and China yet they're doing the opposite.
This an update to my computer woes that I made in previous RDs latest of which is linked here.
The broken monitor I've been struggling with then has finally died a day after I made the update to that comment. I felt compelled to buy a replacement one or risk losing more work time to troubleshooting. Goodbye 6.5kPhP. I finally managed to install it just earlier. However, there's something very slightly wrong with it.
spoiler
I bought a larger monitor than the one it replaced. And worse, I only noticed what was wrong after I installed it.
Deleted my Telegram account a few days ago and medj nakaka-feel ako ng regret na hindi ko hinintay 'yung replies ng friends ko after messaging them na ganon na nga gagawin ko. Pero kasi... 'Yung isa almost 2 months na atang hindi nagpaparamdam. 'Yung isa naman, I recently found out na nagc-cheat pala sa partner niya na sabi niya ex niya na. Naging oks na friends naman sila but para saan pa 'yung effort na gagawin ko kung ganon lang din naman? Haha
I honestly feel bad kasi parang ang bilis ko sila bitawan. Pero pa'no 'yun e parang ako naman unang iniwan nung isa tapos 'di ko kaya i-tolerate ginagawa nung isa pa?
Ganda scores ng Baldur's Gate 3 ah. Hindi nga lang ako fan ng D&D, lol.
Just found out that being a mod in any sub lifts the NSFW restriction to the reddit API for that user.

Despite the formulaic techniques ng pelikulang Deleter, happy ending naman sya for me. By happy ending, I mean naparusahan yung sa tingin ko dapat maparusahan or may prize yung dapat ireward.
Medyo dinelay ko sya panoorin dahil inexpect ko na mabigat sya emotionally. Dahil sa jumpscare at lighting cliches na ginamit, naging mas madaling sa akin makaescape sa manipulation, basta self-aware sa technique.
Personally, I don't think it's a good movie about mental health issues since it didn't made me sympathize sa main character na may mental health issue. Siguro dun kulang. Weird kasi na dun lang sa dulo sinabi na fear at self-preservation yung motivation nya to shut up. At sinabi talaga ha. Show, don't tell nga, di ba? Yung ibang mga naunang scenes mukha namang kaya nya tablahin boss nya.
