Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is something everyone wants to do or have, but you have no interest in?

atomchoco Jul 13, 2023

manalo sa lotto

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

Of all the answers here…

Bakit? Just being curious.

atomchoco Jul 14, 2023

i don’t like the whole lottery system idea. pool money from thousands if not millions of people to award it to one or a handful, because luck? it’s like taxes, only stupid. then for me to have all that money? parang marumi

if you want to acknowledge and accept a corrupted government that still has plenty of money for legit projects, instill a culture of jueteng

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

Ah, thanks!

That makes a whole lot of sense to me now.

willnever_fadeaway Jul 13, 2023

Honestly speaking, employment. Working for money isn’t something I envisioned doing, but seems to be a requirement in this dystopian capitalistic society. It takes away from my time, my happiness, and a lot more things. And the little money I get in exchange, I can’t even get to do the things I want to do. It’s all too depressing. Fuck everything and everyone who supports such a shit ass system. Sorry if people are offended by this, just needed a vent.

superproxy2k19 Jul 14, 2023

Great answer - yung time aspect talaga ng working for money yung di ko din matanggap-tanggap. Doing all this from grad (or even earlier) until retirement age (of choice) or until you drop dead… Imagine instead if we have more time to do things we love instead of the things this conveyor belt world expects from us. But wala, ito na yung nadatnan natin.

a_tree_with_5_branch Jul 13, 2023

watching concerts…

well, if its kurt then its a different story…

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

It was a thing, until these smartphones rise up and record everything. What’s the point of going to a concert if they’re going to record it and trim it to 15-second TikTok content?

willnever_fadeaway Jul 14, 2023

nah concerts just aren’t everyone’s thing

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

Some concertgoers are just forced cuz someone’s bought an extra ticket. lol

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

Signing up to socmed, cUz uR faMelee n reLatevz uZing it 2.

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

My family and relatives using FB, among others, is one of the biggest reasons I deactivated.

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

Constant tagging you whenever they upload something.

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

Lalo na pag yung pictures ng party ng kamag-anak na hindi mo mahindian. Sabay sasabihin ka pa na suplado kasi di ka nag-cocomment. Parang di ata nila narerealize kung bakit hindi ako umiimik in the first place.

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

It’s annoying, and one of the reasons I deleted my Facebook account 3 years ago. Tagging confirmation? Yes, meron, but like I said, annoying.

decadentrebel Jul 14, 2023

Kadalasan nga kahit hindi ka na i-tag may notification pa rin e.

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

Wtf is this sorcery? You spyin’ on me? DATS AGAINST D LAW DUDE.

ayel Jul 14, 2023

Ang mag inom. Hay nako! Kayo talaga nagyayaya lagi mag nomo haaaaa. Masama yan!!! 🤡🤡

Shot na tayo mamaya Lemmytors, pagkaout Hahhahahaha

Periwinkledot Jul 14, 2023

Excessive kpop fangirling (I also wasn’t into F4 then). I just don’t get it, maybe because I don’t understand the language.

cottonmon Jul 14, 2023

Adding every person they meet on social media.

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

Having a high-paying job or a lucrative career. Kahit na pa sabihin natin na sobrang heavenly ng working conditions, hindi pa rin. Just imagining the responsibilities involved, nakaka-stress na.

While I want to earn enough for myself and a perhaps a person or two, to live comfortably, parang okay lang din siguro kung mamatay ako sa gutom kung ang kapalit naman nun is being to live a stress-free life.

Periwinkledot Jul 14, 2023

I don’t think you’d have lived a stress-free life if eventually you’ll die of starvation hehe

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

I mean, I guess? But also, having already experienced a prolonged period of eating nothing (tubig lang), I think I can get by. Near the end of the first week, I don’t even get hungry anymore, not even after drinking water.

But yeah, I’d rather die of hunger than undergo the stresses of a high-paying yet high-responsibility job/career.

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

Eating nothing can be beneficial as you are cleaning yourself. I’ve done this during pandemic, at sobrang gaan sa feeling.

superproxy2k19 Jul 14, 2023

This is what I’m afraid to be at na parang ayaw ko na magpapromote to be honest (increase sahod na lang pwede ba haha). On my industry/tech stack, I know what the next level entails, at recently lang naexperience ko na yung glimpse 😄. I’ll earn significantly more and be surely more comfortable than before, pero lagi akong napapaisip kung sulit ba yung magiging trade off.

Strange Jul 14, 2023

Having kids. lol

Concerts. Not only kasi maraming tao but mostly because you’re expected to participate otherwise KJ ka. I prefer to sit/stand there in silence, listen, soak it in, and occasionally bob my head.

That’s why the only performance I paid for was an Explosions in the Sky gig in Samsung Hall. Konti lang tao and it was post-rock, so instrumental. The freebie shows I went to sa Ayala Malls - Walk The Moon, Owl City, Cobra Starship, Twenty-One Pilots, hindi ko na-enjoy with the crowd singing along from beginning to end and drowning out the vocalist.

aqua_synonym Jul 14, 2023

Hmm…online mobile games? Guys my age play CODM or Mobile Legends or Valorant or something along those lines, but I am barely interested in what they are doing. I’ve played my fair share of online games, though they all were at either my laptop or at an internet cafe PC. Never on my phone. In fact, the only things I can remotely call a game in my phone is a Morse Code Koch trainer, a kanji practice app, and a Reversi/Othello game.

ExploringLiterature Jul 14, 2023

Fame.

Screw popularity I want legally earned big bucks without people actually knowing I’m earning big bucks.

I don’t want to be famous I just want to live normally, travel frequently and help anonymously without worrying about bills for my whole lifetime.

atomchoco Jul 13, 2023

ang mahal ng mga punyetang photoset HAHAHAHA

dapat magbenta rin ako ng akin para may pambili aq. kaso pangit paa q

banokyo Jul 13, 2023

shabu

decadentrebel Jul 13, 2023

I’m guessing this was intended for the Ask PHlemmy question, lol.

megane-kun Jul 14, 2023

I’ve noticed that behavior recently. I try to reply to post comment, pero nagiging comment siya to the post.

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

shabu

decadentrebel Jul 13, 2023

TIL the second most popular Duterte (that isn’t related to Digong) is Jay Som.

Jay Som - Wikipedia

Takina's Old Pair™Jul 14, 2023

That’s why she have her stage name more popularized.

decadentrebel Jul 14, 2023

Dapat iedit nya yung Wiki. Puros Duterte nakalagay, lmao.

zeggs Jul 13, 2023

hindi ko naman yata ikamamatay kung hindi ko mahawakan ang iyong kamay 🤡

eeeeyayyyy Jul 13, 2023

Malaki ba yan?

ayel Jul 14, 2023

Buseeeet Hahahaha

eeeeyayyyy Jul 14, 2023

May malaking kamay naman, ah.

Yeontura Jul 13, 2023

Got my Marble League ticket!

willnever_fadeaway Jul 13, 2023

Thanks for the reminder that this exists, haven’t seen any races in a long time.

monknonoke Jul 13, 2023

Gusto ko sumali dun sa mga doggie run marathon kaso wala akong dog. So my plan is manghihiram ako ng dog tapos hiramin ko na din yung owner chz.

Well, it’s an idea 🤷‍♀️ I can’t get a dog bc we already have enough cats ok. It’s a cat-centric household.

Tsunami45chan Jul 13, 2023

Ang weird na wala pang skyrim na community sa lemmy.world. Merong skyrim mod community pero wala like skyrim talaga.

edgarr Jul 13, 2023

Perfect weather for gaming all day!

decadentrebel Jul 14, 2023

Gusto ko bumili ng Diablo IV. Bwisit na bwisit na ako laruin Tsushima. Ayoko ng open world exploration, I just want a linear plot/goal!

ExploringLiterature Jul 14, 2023

Ayoko ng Open World exploration.

I installed a mod way back sa GTA V that could make pedestrians fight/shoot each other like in San Andreas. Took me about 6 months to be motivated enough to continue the main storyline kasi I had another objective of my own:

So yeah pag wala akong strong incentive to continue the storyline. I tear shit up instead lol

a_tree_with_5_branch Jul 13, 2023

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

edgarr Jul 13, 2023

Say you’re sorry, that face of an angel

a_tree_with_5_branch Jul 13, 2023

mr_m00 Jul 14, 2023

Just one more day weekend na. Perfect Baguio weather.

willnever_fadeaway Jul 14, 2023

1 more day 😖

edgarr Jul 14, 2023

landslide na weather na ba sa baguio?

mr_m00 Jul 14, 2023

Uu din haha, Kennon Road was closed the other week. Open now tho.

I’ve been using Globe@Home fixed wireless for my home internet since the height of the pandemic. It was serviceable, with bandwidth ranging from 5Mbps to 10Mbps. Enough for browsing, Youtube/Netflix, remote work, and the occasional large downloads.

But last night I got to test a 5G router with a DITO SIM and I was getting up to 600Mbps download in my area. I also tried my own Globe@Home SIM with the 5G router and surprisingly got a 5G signal as well, albeit at 40Mbps download.

Now I’m mulling if I should ditch the Globe account over a DITO account (with a plan that offers the same 5G router I tested) or if I should just go with my original plan to buy an open-line 5G router. I’m still leaning towards the latter, but there’s not a lot of choices for a good 5G router and they’re hella expensive.
