I'm from the Philippines, a country in Southeast Asia.

It's a joke about them being good at cherry-picking

"The most important impact you can have as a consumer is not that the lack of your personal revenue is going to keep the likes of Jeff Bezos up at night. It's that you're providing revenue and a user base to alternative businesses that are struggling to exist in a world where most people just use Amazon."

I agree! I think we should frame boycotts this way, I can't stand companies abusing their chokehold on the market. It's also a more feasible and tangible goal.

Yeah, my mom and I (in the Philippines) saw an American talk about having lots of money quite loudly in a shopping mall. We were put off.

Something similar happened to us in the Philippines. There was a huge propaganda and disinformation campaign on Facebook by the Marcos family (rumored to have partnered with Cambridge Analytica). Which led to people falsely thinking that Marcos I's regime was a golden age, and now we have his son as president.

Can't you just replace the battery somehow? My phone's old battery had an adhesive which the repairman just cut, then he put in a new adhesive and battery in.

Literally brainrot

 

Some stupid meme will appear in my head while I'm in public and a stupid grin will force itself into my face and obviously I don't want people to look at me and think I'm crazy, or worse ask what I'm laughing about and the only thing that was on my mind was "born to shit, forced to wipe".

 

What are some mundane goals you can recommend to someone trying to improve their fitness? For example, after watching a video while sitting down on the floor with my knees bent, I realised I could stand up without using my hands or resting my leg on the floor. It's indicative of core strength, right? I often do push-ups. So what else are some day-to-day actions that should become easier when improving fitness and what exercises can you do achieve them?

 

Not referring to lucid dreaming, which is simply controlling your dream. I'd like to know how to control what I dream the next night, regardless if it ends up as a lucid dream.

I remember reading a portion of a book then dreaming about it the day later. I am also aware of the "shifting" community (though they want to go to an entire alternate universe) in which they script throughout the day and sometimes get dreams related to it. Is there an actual practice for this sort of thing? Or is this something that happens only randomly?
