Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What's a popular saying that you really dislike?
- hehehe joke lang.
- Bahala na si batman
  
  Batman: ako na naman?!
  lmao talaga yung Bathala naging Batman
  
  "Pag gusto may paraan, pag ayaw may dahilan" is another one. Hindi mo alam ano pinaglalaban nung umimbento ng quote, lmao.
- Blood (in reality of the covenant) is thicker than water (actually of the womb).
  Also you are thiccer than both of these.
- Adulting. Mostly because people use it to refer to some supposed bucket list that one must do to be considered a grown up (e.g. saving, applying for IDs) when even a child do those, lol.
  
  Kidding. Mostly because people use it to refer to some suppose bucket list that one must do to be considered a funny one (e.g. punchlines, sarcasm) when even a serious one do those, lol
- "MoNeY DoEsN'T GrOw fRoM TrEeS "
  "NaSa dIyOs aNg aWa, NaSa tAo aNg gAwA"
- MAGA
- “You deserve what you tolerate.”
  Such a mean thing to say to someone who’s at a low point in their life. It’s not a ‘wake up call’ that some people think it is. If you say this to a stranger, I would automatically assume that you lack empathy. No one deserves to be abused or manipulated. Some people grew up without knowing their worth, or how they should be loved and treated properly with respect. Their resilency to abuse doesn’t mean that they deserve it.
- Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.
  Is that even astronomically accurate?
- Ignorance is Bliss
  okay lang maging ignorante sa mga bagay bagay pero kung nakaka-apekto na sa mga kasakasama mo hindi na.
- If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best
  Narrator: Yeah, sure, go justify your crappy, toxic behavior.
  We're all people, but even at our worst, at least we should try to do our best to be good humans to other humans.
  I get where this quote is coming from, but it's just been used too many times in the wrong way that the very sight of it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.

Give us your tired, your poor, Your huddled redditors yearning to breathe free.

Quite a clusterfuck in Russia rn. I just hope this isn't the domino that tips the world over into Fallout 5.
It's Wagner Group vs. Putin now.
*Politico article.
*Al-Jazeera live updates
*BBC report
TLDR: Wagner goes apeshit on Moscow, specifically the advisors to Putin on Ukraine because they believe Moscow used Wagner troops as cannon fodder, killing many mercs. Moscow says this is an armed rebellion, and tensions are on the rise.
EDIT: Clarity. Wagner is not necessarily angry at Putin himself, rather at the leadership surrounding and advising him on Ukraine.
- tingin niyo will russia become a failed state? constant civil war. maraming faction ang mag-aagawan after putin

"argue like you love someone"
me and my incoming dark thoughts: I hate this world 😊 just trying to make something out of it, y'know? Hihi 🌸
If I was in that one BM episode I'd talk back and maybe say, why would I burden myself of unaliving someone when this world can just burn? Who are you to suddenly give me a responsibility that I didn't ask for? And for what, just for someone else's entertainment?
All this corporate beaurocratic shit and you couldn't even have shown me the t&c? What is even reality? You should've picked someone more entertaining to mess with.
I am pretty angry. People are annoying. Sometimes I just want to isolate myself and brood.

NGL it feels good to finally do things I always fantasize doing, kagaya ng pagrampa sa platform ng LRT 2 sabay twirl a la Catriona Gray pagtapat sa kahit anong ceiling fan na umaandar.

May nakapag-BBW na ba sa PICC dito? Kumusta selections? Planning to go sana on Wednesday ~~pag may natira pa sa sweldo huhu~~
Anyway, happy weekend everyone!

Good morning!
Ma share lang, just got home from a long day of work. I haven't seen a work drama for a while, nagka open forum after ng meeting pero it's a calm and civilized back and forth argument. Nothing juicy, I just can't help comparing it sa sigawan sa work ko dati sa pinas.
One of our head officers got fired from the position, it was immediately replaced with a brand new personnel. People from that team didn't take it well and they're just salty about it because the top leadership chose a brand new and non-experienced over one of the team with more experience.
I like changes in what's going on in our troop, top leadership trying to get rid of the bad culture that has been plaguing for a while. Don't get me wrong, our troop performed outstandingly at a brigade level but it sacrifices the well-being of the other personnel in the troop, that includes me.
Hopefully malagpasan tong transition period, takte nakaka burnout na din.

Ang aga aga manggising ni miming 😩

Napapa AITA na ako every other decision na ginagawa ko. HAHAHA
- Minamanipulate kana haha, better to trust ypur instincts

https://lemmy.world/post/477943 meron pala bagong drama
- The t_d community seems to be gone now so it's all good. Kind surprised the exploding heads one hasn't been defederated though.
- Mukhang need ko tanggalin sh.itjust.works sa mga instance kung san pwede mag-signup mga hirap mag-register, lol.

*And if you come back to me, you will find my love where it used to be *

Patay nga lang ang vice-mayor ng SJ, kaya talagang kanselado.

I like the excellent community icon!

I think you are potentially placing yourself and your clients in a dangerous dynamic. In your race to [the] Titanic you are mirroring that famous catch cry: 'She is unsinkable'.
-Rob McCallum, leading deep sea exploration specialist, in an email to OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush
- are we supposed to feel bad for the billionaires? they don't give two shits about us.
  
  I only feel bad for the only teenager on the expedition, but this is coming from the fact that they were too young to go. The second article below makes me feel sadder as there was way more loss of life, but oddly enough, not much mention of it on official media channels, at least to my knowledge.
  For the OceanGate casualty that was young, allegedly, according to a relative of the teenager who perished, the boy was, in her words, terrified and wasn't up for it. Saying he only did it because it was father's day.
  Quite terrifying to imagine the last moments of this young boy, or several hundred of the refugees from the news article below. What were they feeling/thinking as they were staring down at their final moments of existence?
  Also, it should be noted that another tragedy also happened just this week around the same time the OceanGate thing was happening. It's been heavily debated online why the OceanGate disaster had more airtime as opposed to this massive loss of life (500 dead, few hundred missing) just because those who died (on OceanGate) were richer.
  I am only just starting to read up on the immigrant tragedy, and it's a total shitstorm to say the least.
  EDIT: Clarity. Added figures.
  
  Nope, guy was a dumbass. I read that he fired everyone that was concerned about the safety.
- "I think it was General MacArthur who said: 'You're remembered for the rules you break,'" Rush said, smiling.
  Article went on quoting him saying the following (Emphasis mine):
  The CEO acknowledged that he'd "broken some rules" with the Titan's manufacturing but was confident that his design was sound.
  "I think I've broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium? There's a rule you don't do that," he told alanxelmundo. "Well, I did."
  He's remembered now all right, but for all the wrong reasons.
  EDIT: Quote source

- Yung price ng siomai ba under 18 din?

Ruski's afterparty happens...

Why is my FB feed being spammed with posts thirsting over the girl in Extraction 2? I haven't even seen it yet!
- That Austrian mom ( ::: spoiler spoiler the one kept by her husband ::: ) is a beauty, though. lol
  Gee, wala pa lang spoiler format sa Liftoff app.

- Closest to it are FB groups like CameraMarket Philippines. That's where I sold my mom's cameras before.

Stop crying, you sniveling ass! Stop your nonsense. You're just the afterbirth, Eli.

last workday of the week, not really in the right mind to be here but wallowing at home won't pay the bills
- I hope it goes well for you, and you have a relaxing weekend ahead. Nearly there! 💪
