in my language we have one pronoun for all genders(siya). it just morphs depending on context(siya/sila/niya/nila).

well obviously wet bugs are cleaner since they’re surrounded by water all the time

I’m from the Philippines and I can explain why, at least here, most people still use chrome. Over here, we’re much more concerned about our money and time over our rights and privacy, which means we usually just choose the most convenient and cheap money-wise, which is why the majority of us still use chrome and why the government here can get away with so much shit. we don’t care about our rights not because we’re being given bread and circuses, but because we’re too busy making a circus out of ourselves so we can buy bread.

yeah but in this context it isn’t. I’m just saying, if people want to protest the site’s changes, it’s better for them to protest within the site itself rather going somewhere else and disturbing people there.

chatGPT doesn’t chastize me like a drill instructor whenever I ask it coding problems.

wasn’t there an anti-communist post that got like 1k+ here? the counter post to it got less I think. I think you just need to go to the right communities man, it’s a vast world out there

I prefer bikes

idk man, the Philippines has been trying capitalism for a while and it only empowered the aristocrats here even more and turned them into oligarchs.

don’t forget the US-backed Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr… he oversaw a borderline ethnic cleansing campaign against moro muslims in mindanao, had thousands tortured and killed and sometimes had their mutilated bodies strewn on public areas(this is what we call salvaging), created an oligarchy that lives on today and, with his wife and children and billions of public funds, was flown out of the country by orders of Reagan when his regime was toppled by the 1986 revolution.

and now his son, who continues to deny his father’s crimes and refuse to return the billions they stole from us, is president.

science bless us all

jokes on you, there aren’t any oak trees where I’m living.

mmorpg sweats be like:

I live in the Philippines where gas is still primarily used for cooking. I think the problem here is a mix of a lack of government support thanks to gas company lobbying and the lack of affordable electric heating.
