I'm in Asia. I can't speak for everyone but the people I know distrust the CCP much more than the US government. Sure, the US is far from blameless, but at least over here the CCP has a much worse reputation. I guess that's one factor.
Another is more than a few people seem to think Meta is strictly a private company while tiktok is somehow being used/controlled by the Chinese government.
Not to mention long COVID. Personally know at least 2 people who got it (myocarditis or something? Can't remember).
In puberty? Hannah Montana Linux.
Kim Jong Un is god? Red Star OS. There's a Linux distro for everyone.
Exactly. I mean, I understand why people hate being used as "retirement plans" - it's just a bad position to be in considering you also have to start your new life but...
Saving for retirement?
Hell of a lot easier said than done. A million pesos won't get you as far and you need much more than that. Hindi sapat pension natin specially for low earners kasi they'll be getting less. Plus like you've said, buti sana if electricity/water bills and food lang kailangan mong pagkagastusan. Imagine being your 70s living alone.
Instead of getting pissed at your parents (or other parents) and screaming to the world that you're antinatalist, why not hold our government and corporations accountable?

Natawa ako sa team building hahahaha. Tama naman.
This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn't choose that community name. Lol.
Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.
Gotcha. I might not be remembering right since it's been a while since i visited r/philippines.
even during that time where they used land mines.
Damn... Never saw that comment/post but it's hard af to defend using landmines.
I appreciate the answer.
his allegiance to the NPA, grandenko
TIL. Holy shit. Tbh, i enjoyed his comments. Very observant and articulate. Seemed he didn't let his bias show, now that I know his allegiance.
Is that why he's not a mod there anymore?
Anyway, those who do this are well-aware of the logic. You pointing it out like you're the first person to think of it actually makes you look like an idiot lacking in self-awareness.
Very well said.
Similar situation here. Grandma and grandpa from my mom's side were broke af and were from the countryside. Still bred like rabbits. Did everything they could so their kids can finish school and now all of them are successful. I'd even go so far as to say their morals are in place (a few of them provide for poor kids despite having families).
Edit: IDEK why I forgot but i literally have an aunt with 8 kids. Can't even remember all of my cousins' names. They're doing extremely well today. Better than me, tbh, and i only have one sibling and we were middle class growing up.
ngayon nalimutan na pinanggalingan nila by being judgy assholes.
There's a sub i know of that'd downvote the f out of this statement. Glad I'm not there anymore lmao.
“It is simply impossible to solve the issue of inflation in conditions ... when the military-industrial complex receives unlimited funding, when everything they ask for is given to them, when the share of this military-industrial complex in the economy grows at a very rapid pace,”
Fuck Putin and his stupid war. It's always the masses that suffer.
Yep. During my very short (6 mos) stint as a tech support rep for Dell, I've learned to assume your customer is an idiot. Even when they're using techie terms or jargon (and at times more so). Never assume other things besides that or you'll probably regret it.
You have to be very clear and precise. A single misunderstanding can take a simple problem a lot of time to get fixed.
Why? First, because this editorial board doesn’t like getting yelled at. Second, there are going to be way fewer people with way less power mad at us.
I love this article lmao
Yes. One is also a doctor. She got vaccinated earlier than most of us. Same with boosters.
