quote:

Nah, let them suffer, let them realize the error of their ways. As long as Marcos has high satisfaction ratings, let them suffer more.

quote:

Not enough suffering to concern the rest of the 58%. Keep it going. That's the only way Filipinos will learn. When everything is a total shitstorm. We need to hit rock bottom first.

quote:

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

quote:

It’s about time for Filipino only think about themselves, that’s how people in progressive country think’s, it’s the only way to push the government to help the poor and don’t rely on private donations.

quote:

It may sound ridiculous for most but I think Philippines will be better under United States just like Puerto Rico , that’s the only way Filipino will have a better government, I don’t really believe in Philippines political system, it’s very obvious these politicians only care about their longevity in positions.

quote:

These people don't care about good governance. They'd rather have politicians that give cash hand-outs

quote:

aww, you deserve all of that inflation. Don't complain, you voted for Marcos, remember???

quote:

We are all victims, and yet we stay as victims, who's to blame? We tried endlessly to keep an open and and helpful discussion why we must not vote for Marcos AT ALL during election season, but they refuse to listen and stay narrow-minded. They heavily relied on stroking their egos rather than thinking of their own future.

So no, we are done sympathizing with them. Let them go through this hell. It sucks that we're all here with them, because we have no choice.

quote:

They deserve what they tolerate.

quote:

Everyone ABSOLUTELY deserves the consequences of their own actions.

quote:

You don't need to pity these Marcos apologists, it's like you're one of them that says it's okay to kill people if they're drug addicts. These people are grown adults, they know what is right and wrong, but if they refuse to use their brains, then there's nothing we can do, they deserve to live in poverty now. Stfu.

quote:

Here we go again with the self righteous post "nobody-deserves-to-suffer", "they were take advantage", "they didn't know better". Everybody is affected!

As I've said time and time again. The poor in this country doesn't need nor want your help and sympathy to get them out of their situation. What they want it is to drag you down with them to prove you cannot survive their situation. That's it. That's their goal. Nothing more.

Quit your self-righteous bullshit for heartstrings

quote:

Nobody deserves to suffer. But everyone should know the consequences of their action. When we were still in school we were told the consequences if we didn't study, that we would have a greater chance of being hired into a good job if we have failing grades.

We are not “smart shaming” them , we are trying to show them the consequences of their action.

quote:

We did what we can for them. We tried to save them by helping them. But they denied it and spat in our faces, so leave them be.

If they want to die of starvation before they learn to vote right, that's on them.

Thirty-one dead in mass shooting at daycare centre in Thailand, police say

Posted 2 minutes ago, updated 1 minutes ago

At least 31 people, including children, have been killed in a mass shooting in a north-eastern province of Thailand.

A government spokesperson says the shooting took place at a child daycare centre in Nong Bua Lamphu, and all agencies have been alerted to take action.

Police say the suspected shooter is a former police officer and a search for him is underway.

More to come.

what a loving nightmare world we live in.

there was a nature documentary a while back where these baby turtles hatch on the beach and have to crawl to the ocean, and most of them don't make it in even the best of circumstances. there's all these predators just waiting to snatch them up. but the problem's gotten worst in modern times. the baby turtles mistake the lights of the city for the moon and crawl the wrong way, away from the ocean where they're meant to be. they crawl by the hundreds into the street where they're ran over. a bunch of crunched shells on the asphalt. or if they're particularly unlucky, they fall into the gutter, down into the sewer where they suffer in the poo poo and waste until they die. that's their whole life, no joy or turtle pleasures just a short life of pain, bewilderment and death. that poo poo has stuck with me for years, just the arbitrary cruelty of the world we live in and all the poor babies out there who deserve better. i guess you get older and you build calluses on your soul to help you not think about it too much, you can't feel empathy over every tragedy out there, but sometimes things slip through and it's overwhelming.

a while back I found this Netflix documentary about the various ways that wildlife had "returned" or flourished during the scant months of 2020 when human mobility had gone down (not calling it a lockdown per se) - things like birds getting to sing more complex songs because there was less noise pollution, humpback whales getting to have long conversations without having to shout over all the merchant marine traffic, and yes, turtles getting to lay their eggs in beaches without being disturbed by all these tourists

I couldn't stomach finishing the whole thing because it was March of 2022 and everything was opening the gently caress up and whatever triumphalism of nature's resilience the documentary was trying to convey felt like so much goddamn ash in my mouth

In the future, you can bring your grandkid to Disney's Beach (TM) to experience what real beach feels like. Remember to Tiktok this post and we will donate 500 Disney bucks to the Turtle Beach Preservation Fund.

I read a paper about bird songs in San Francisco during the "lockdown" and iirc they shifted their tones to be lower since they didn't have to go so high to pierce through all the noise pollution of a city.

Well I figure the continual depopulation of the US and other countries by Covid and the complete breakdown of industry due to a lack of ability to think past next quarter will eventually bring that back.

Kinda like how the radiation in the Chernobyl exclusion zone probably wasn't/isn't good for the animals but the fact no humans live there anymore than made up for it. If capital can't get it's rear end back in gear it won't have the ability/reason to cut down more forests because it'll have no workers or machines, and will be too distracted by the fake numbers it's made up to care that it doesn't. Some factories will always pollute but without necessary parts it's more just a matter of rainwater leaking into the building and absorbing some lead from the product.

China will begin selecting the 4th batch of taikonauts. The process is due to be completed in about 18 months, and 12-14 individuals will be selected, including 7-8 taikonauts, 5-6 flight engineers, and about 2 payload specialists.

the best thing about places selling $10 hamburgers is that if you have a grill you can just make the same thing at home unless you think you're a worse cook than the dude working the back at 5 guys

that said, you will never know the blessing of crisp fresh fries without the horror lifestyle of managing a home deep fryer

i tend to be grillmaster at my friend's pool parties and can get through 5lbs of chuck pretty fast now but having a thick layer of fat on your palms is never fun

french fries, though, gently caress that. either a frozen bag of 'em in an oven or i just don't make them

also five guys remains the worst fast food place because if i get a regular burger it comes with canned mushrooms standard which is horrifying. i'll never get over that because my normal fast food order is a #1 with everything no matter where i go

I make french fries once a month in apt. I don't see how difficult it is? Par boil em the night before and use some for other dishes while your at it. Use a wok with oil and then reuse the oil once it's done and wipe down surfaces.

Portion of the parboiled potatoes goes for parathas, pakodas and curry. Portion of of it goes for French fries.
