I feel like shit but I'm at work... Fuck this culture.
Good morning Phlemmies.

sa mga nagpopost ng videos, baka pwede idaan sa piped or one of the invidious instances instead na youtube link. example: palitan ng yewtu.be and youtu.be sa url. would really appreciate this, nagtatry kasi ako iwasan ang youtube.
sa comments kasi, i can copy the video url and edit it after pasting sa safari. pero sa post, i cant copy the url, nago-automatic play sa youtube.
(hindi ko napapansin kapag nasa android ako because of newpipe. am trying out ios apps at the moment and unfortunately, walang newpipe equivalent)
maraming salamat.
- alam ko may community bot na nagre-reply sa post para bigay yun alternative piped link

I got a gift from a person na tinurn down ko a few months ago. It makes me awkward kasi I don't want to receive things from them. Hindi talaga ako interesado.
Sabi ko sa friends ko, balak kong ibalik yung regalo. Ang harsh ko daw. Ang bad daw ng gagawin ko.
I'm like??? Dude, I turned this person gently before. I was clear and direct. Naiinis ako kasi bakit parang trabaho kong maging sensitive kahit matagal ko nang sinabing ayaw ko nga.
- Welcome to the dark side of Filipino hospitality: utang na loob.

Tama ba yung nasa calendar ko? July 24 ang SONA, tapos next day ang deactivation ng unregistered SIM.
- Martial Law Lite

Dahil bwisit na bwisit ako sa acting ni Rami Malek while watching Oppenheimer:
- Wait this dude still acts? Never thought he was a good actor from the little I saw him.
  
  Loved him in Mr. Robot. But for some reason he won an award for Bohemian Rhapsody and keeps getting projects with the same stilted one-dimensional acting. And yes, he does the same thing in Oppenheimer. First scene niya pa lang he does the face.

Manonood na lang siguro ako, may trauma pa ako from last year mula sa mga Latin American streamer/griefers smh
- Wait, r/place happened a year ago. Too early for this event.
  
  Spez needs his diversion.

TIL Windows can install apps with just command prompts using winget
Ang tagal ko na gumagamit ng Windows, ngayon ko lang nalaman. lol
- It's default software on Windows 10/Windows 11 22H2. I started using it once they made it available on Github a couple years back and it's pretty neat. You can upgrade your apps with just winget upgrade --all, search if an app is available on their pseudo-repository with winget search
  <app name>
  . You can also export/import a list of your installed applications if you say, want to make an easy migration from system to another.
  
  This is pretty neat. Probably a safer and secure way to install applications, just like I initially did with Linux Mint earlier this year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What was the "dumbest" thing you were scared of as a kid?
- Probably quicksand.
  I vaguely remember watching a lot of shows in the 90s that had a quicksand scene and it seemed really terrifying.
  Took me growing up a little to realize that quicksand isn't something I should expect to encounter on a daily basis.
  
  My first exposure to quicksand giving me the heebie-jeebies was that Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories episode wherein their kid died and got reunited with his now dead wife. I guess it's intended to be touching/bittersweet, pero it really made me fear quicksands.
- I wasn't afraid of the dark, nor was I afraid of aswangs, manananggal, etc.
  No, my young dumbass was afraid of this (first 5 seconds pa lang tangina I was scared shitless (literally would cry sa first 5 seconds pa lang ng music). Never stayed to finish the intro, never even waited to find out what the hell this game was... until like I was 16 (ish).
  I was really furious to find out SEVERAL YEARS LATER that this was not even remotely close to a horror game, but a fucking Mahjong game (Dragon's Eye Plus Shanghai 3). Really glad that no one really remembered from my circle of friends, or else they would have NEVER, ever let me live this shit down LMAO.
  This was my #KidsAreFuckingStupid moment.
- My cousin was afraid of those Chinese ornamental fortune cats that wave it's paw up and down. 😂
  As for me, I get creeps from those knee height pale dress up dolls.
- Takot ako sa pulis nung bata ako. Now, I think they are just one if the dumbest, kaya nakakatakot pa din, in a way.
- Makalunok ng buto ng mga prutas. Tutubo daw sa tiyan 👁👄👁
- Camera flash. You can take photos of me just fine without flash (or if we're outside and the flash isn't as noticeable), but as soon as it's indoors and you need flash, I'll be out.
- Takot bumiyahe ng gabi pauwi kasi feeling ko hindi na kami makakauwi ng bahay
- Cyber-Smoke's "Earth bomb.", and the entirety of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 [SNES]
- Shake, Rattle and Roll
- Evening local TV used to scare me. Unsettling commercials (Karne Ka Lang sa Hazing, Pray the Rosary bumper), gory news reports/true crime shows (Calvento Files), and horror anthologies (Tales from the Darkside, Regal Shocker).

Good job, Shopee algorithm.
- Mamimiss ka namin 🥺
  charot
- Almost heaven, West Virginia~

I miss MADTv
Morning Phlemmings! Have a great day ahead.
- I remember watching this on JackTV. Nakakamiss din ung ganitong shows

Gen Z daw doesn't like using capitalization. Personally sumasakit ulo ko kapag lahat lowercase. Feeling ko kaya ko na mang-identify kung gen z sila base sa typings pa lang, and that's exactly why I don't engage. Yung kapatid ko lang ang tanggap ko sa ganyan, kasi wala eh, kapatid ko siya.
Especially if it's a whole ass paragraph tapos wala talagang capitalization. Parang ayaw ko na basahin yung post for that sole reason alone.
Tapos kapag nakakita ako ng pa-survey or formal-ish document / interaction or whatnot and may pa-cute emojis na biglang naka-singit. Napapa da fuq is that ako. Tanggalin mo nga yan. I'm all for cute emojis tho, paki-lugar lang lol.
Is it a petty pet peeve? Maybe. Siguro tumatanda na nga ako. sigh
- I also used to do that ages ago, nagpapa-cute lang haha
- using non-capitalizing words started when deadmau5 was huge back in mid-2000s until mid-2010s.
  dunno, i get influence by him with these lowercase typings. it's not really a generational thing. somehow, nasa default smartphone keyboard rin ang rason.
  
  ako naman, si ee cummings. who not only avoided capitalization, but also apostrophes. kaya andami kong comments na grammatically incorrect (eg s vs 's).
  also not a gen z.
  mas icky sa akin yung pinipilit gumamit ng fancy words kahit hindi akma sa gusto iparating.

Pinanood ko ung reaction ni Uncle Roger sa Adobo and Garlic Rice ni Rachel Ray.
Natawa ako sa comments. Sunod sunod una mong mababasa
“As a Filipino”
- Ok yung adobo, yung garlic rice lang ako nag cringe
  Tuyong arroz caldo amp
- Special mention ni Uncle Roger ang Silver Swan Soy Sauce 😆

First time rollerskating. Nag faceplant ako sa umpisa pero di naman ganun kalala, ok pa ang mukha ko. I think na-gets ko siya after 3 hours of trying.
I am very sore tho, spent like 6 hours there. Before that naka 2 hour walk pa ako due to circumstances 🤦‍♀️I'm sure it going to be worse tomorrow 😩 may lakad pa naman ako.
It's a good workout/hobby if I'm not going outdoors, and I'd say affordable yung rates. I shall add this to the list of things I can do when I can't afford to beach or anything lol.
Feeling ko lang naman lumalaki yung hita at pwet ko or something. It might be a good thing or not but in terms of vanity actually gusto ko siya lumiit 😭 baka feeling lang naman hahaha. I'm so tired 💀

I'M A BARBIE GIRL
IN A BARBIE WORLD
- Nagulat ako na gusto panoodin ng partner ko. Wala ako interest but it can be a fun watch I suppose.
  
  I didn't care much for it myself, but it's made by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach (writer for most of Wes Anderson's films) so I'm curious to see the output.

9pm lang available bukas na Oppenheimer na hindi IMAX HAHA :(
- And 12am ka na lalabas. Best last screening schedule.
  
  mm i opted for something earlier for some errands na din and went liemax instead hehe
  also commute lang pu aq so i'd probably have to do lots of walking if i have to go home late
- Anyare? Nagkaubusan na tickets?
  
  idk? don't think so tho i'm a little surprised mej marami ako kasabay nanood sa liemax

What's with Filipinos (non-government employees, ordinaries) not accepting digital driver's license as valid ID? Nakakapanlumo na kahit gaano ko pinaliwanag nang mas hindi komplikado o digestable na paliwanag, plastic talaga ang orihinal. Kasama na rito ang ePhilID. Paano kaya nila malalaman kung orihinal at galing mismo sa ahensiya ang plastic IDs?
Kakapesbok niyo yan, wala na kayong makukuhang matino.
By the way, I'm using Catima to store all my loyalty cards, bank and e-wallet's QRPH, and digital IDs.

Phil Dy gave both Barbie and Oppenheimer 4½ stars on Letterboxd. Now I'm excited to watch both!
- Ayun, his review for Oppy is up now. Gonna go and read it!
  
  "Come on Oppy, let's go party"

Grabe yung 70% off everyday ng shopee. Araw-araw din ako nagche-checkout. Hahahahaha

Thursday kicked my ass. Happy Friday Jr. to y'all~
- Happy Pre-Friday, pre! 🥃🍺

Bakit ang laki ng thumbnail ng youtube? Kahapon hindi ganito. Ganon ba sila ka desperado na makuha ang iyong attention? May alam ba kayo kung anong extension sa firefox para tanggalin ang shorts?

edit* Nahanap ko na https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-block/
- Pansin ko nga din yan. It's more annoying on a TV because the thumbs are big enough as it is.
- Use element picker from uBlock Origin. If you don't want YT caught your attention, just logout your YT/Google acocunt and clear YT's cookies and data by clicking the padlock icon, or customize your Cookies behavior through Firefox settings.
  This more annoying when your computer's display scaled up to 125% like mine.

marahay na hapon sa gabos!!!

Watched Barbenheimer yesterday, and probably the best decision I had to watch them as a double feature. Both pictures are adult-oriented and both telling a story about the dangers of power.

GET READY FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!
NEW CHALLENGER!
CLAUDIO SERAFIIINO!!!

May bagong starbs pala ulit sa tags
- Elevation realness Ay wait, literalness pala.
