Today’s Ask PHlemmy: You are given the power to criminalize one legal thing/activity- what are you making illegal?
willnever_fadeawayPaying workers/people less than the universal basic income ($1500 a month?) and forcing people to work more than 40 hours a week.
eeeeyayyyyMicro-businesses: “Welp, declare bankruptcy before renewal, then.”
tahannAccumulating wealth up to a certain ceiling. TBA pa ang ceiling value.
atomchocoumm lottery?
but there’s probably a lot of better shit that needs attention
decadentrebelI just realized that Hurricane Hilary is in SoCal pala, which is unusual. It’s also comparable in strength to Egay na run of the mill typhoon lang sa atin yet they’re already struggling with flash floods and power outages (expected to last for a while).
Biden failed stopping Hilary. :(
theyawnerGoes to show how infrastructure can be caught unprepared for unusual weather patterns. I shudder at the thought of getting a few days of snow here.

My average travel time between work and home is usually around 30 minutes. Last night it took 2 hours; nearly an hour trapped at the Santolan U-turn and another from that U-turn to Ortigas. I half-expected the problem to be due to a higher volume of traffic going into Ortigas at the Ortigas flyover, but it was actually caused by an unusual volume at Ortigas ilalim; presumably to take either take a right turn to San Juan, or a U-turn to EDSA’s northbound side. It’s almost like an ouroboros.
Ngayon lang nags-sink in sa’kin kung gaano na kapagod 'yung puso ko. Hahaha Ito 'yung pagod na hindi na kayang tumanggap ng bago kesyo friendship man o kung ano. Ayoko muna ng bago. Ng kahit sino.
Kung need mo magrest from love, tara. Mang-away tayo!
*nakipag-suntukan HAHAHA
Sino ba yang gusto mo awayin natin?
Maybe I’m just being petty, but Filipino film nerds are unbearable man 😂.
Saw a reddit post talking about the cinemas in the country where you shouldn’t watch, and pretty much almost all of the famous cinemas are there. Like ano ba gusto nila? To convince casual moviegoers to stop going to those accessible cinemas and have the same mindset as them when it comes to choosing cinemas? Lol
As someone who had to go to Cinema '76, Teatrino, Fully Booked’s U View, PICC, Cine Adarna, Sine Pop, and lord knows where else just to watch these so-called amazing “indie” movies, they couldn’t be anymore wrong. Lmao. The atmosphere and equipment are in the same tier as your elementary school film showing, except they have the chutzpah to charge money.
The best cinematic experience for me is still purchasing a random ticket in Trinoma’s Cinema 4 to see Battleship. The screening had “2D” on it for some reason (2D naman lahat, di ba? lol) but the picture quality is the brightest and sharpest I’ve ever seen from a projector. Shame it’s quite possibly the worst film of that year, but there’s no denying the mouth-watering PQ. My succeeding attempts to watch at that exact same cinema wasn’t able to replicate the beauty of that particular screening.
Some theater staffs nowadays don’t give a fuck on audiences, even the projectionists (oh wait they don’t reeling/assemble celluloid like they used to). IMAX Digital, Large Format screens, and some CityMall cinemas are the only cinemas in our country that delivers brighter and better picture. I’ve seen degradation of projections on SM Cinemas’ regular screens, and SM itself and audiences don’t really gave a fuck on this issue, except myself and these so-called “nerds.” It’s sucks because this is not what I’ve used to experience for the past decade.
Air Supply announces 3-night concert in Manila this December
You laugh, but 30+ years from now, Taylor Swift, The Chainsmokers, Olivia Rodrigo, and Super Junior will be coming here for 2-night concerts in Solaire while the gen-charlies are wondering what silly-ass music the previous gens were into.
count me as one of the millennials who has a special place in their hearts for Air Supply. how else are you going to make love out of nothing at all?
Walden Bello’s review of Barbie favorably compares it to Marxism for Gen Z.
Even though it’s an ideal world, Barbieland is not seamlessly constructed. There’s a crack in Barbie’s world — she wakes up and finds out she has cellulite and flat feet — and she is forced to come down to earth to be “fixed” and discovers that the world is full of contradictions and conflicts that the elite, the black-suited directors of Mattel, don’t want people to grapple with and solve collectively, by focusing their attention instead on the ideal relationships of Barbieland. Barbie’s unexpected appearance threatens the long-standing equilibrium between the ideal and the real.
Feeling ko talaga marami din dapat iunpack dyan sa movie na yan. Nadadamihan lang ako sa tao sa mga sinehan kaya baka sa streaming ko na panoorin.
Konting antay na lang anyway. Sept 5 out yung digital copy.
Tonight’s dinner ay tusok-tusok with rice dahil na-realize ko over the budget na ako sa pagkain by a pretty large margin starting last month and now I feel guilty about it. 😭
Ang mahal naman kumain. To be fair half of it kasama ko kapatid ko kumain so that’s probably why ganun kalaki yung difference sa spending behavior on food.
Still. Pati yung tusok-tusok nagmahal na din. Kung ako lang pinapakain ko hindi kasing sakit sa bulsa.
Mag-rreflect muna ako sa aking buhay. Definitely not ready magka-anak and the like.
if this was posted years ago, i would have recommended increasing your vegetable-to-meat ratio. not applicable these days, unfortolunately. pati gulay and other non-meat products mahal na rin.
(aside: a fortnight ago, i had freshly made tofu brought by a colleague from manong magtataho. pricier than those brought from the market but it was so good).
Usual diet ko magulay naman pero pag wala talagang time or super lakas ng cravings bumibili ako. Gulay talaga pinaggastusan ko, healthy diet is important.
I don’t even buy meat much, namamahalan ako 😅 kung may meat yung baon ko probably outsourced yan hahaha. Eggs are a regular staple tho.
Magkano yung taho na nabili mo?
sorry for the late reply.
it was tokwa/tofu, not taho. bought by a colleague. she did not say how much but she did mention that it is pricier than market price. was worth it.
