Huh, a lot of this sounds very familiar.

2016 December

I also finished Persona 3 Portable today (been playing it on and off since Feb 2015). I figured I should clear it off my backlog before P5 next year. Didnt manage a completionist run though
Noche buena 2016
So on r/worldnews on reddit, they have some sidebar buttons to filter out particular topics that tend to dominate the news. Guess what they added recently! #PinoyPride
Also, I should totally post on reddit the next time our Dear Leader says something stupid. At least instead of simply being annoyed at him, I also get to reap some reddit karma.
Sometimes there’s an unexpected duterte in an unrelated reddit thread and i laugh then almost immediately i am sad
I always get annoyed at the poor subject verb agreement of this notif
Crowdsourcing: Scam or not? Should I respond?
Hindi ba ito impeachable offense?
This rices even more questions…
In addition, I’ll contribute #7: if your friends share such articles/pages, tell them of the problems with the article (but probably leave it up to them what to do about it)
Lawyer friends, is this true? Hindi ba merong something like grave threat? Or hindi applicable for some reason like immunity from suit or some executive privilege?
Okay, let’s review:
 Duterte reinstates cops suspended for involvement in illegal drugs. Supposedly he wants to keep them in place to be able to investigate and track their movements. He confirms that Marcos is involved in illegal shit. These cops go on to kill inmates in custody, while they are in their position where they could supposedly be investigated and tracked. Senators say it looks like an extra judicial killing NBI says it’s a rubout Duterte still supports the cops (who he already admitted were involved in illegal shit) and won’t allow them to go to prison  My creative imagination is failing me, can someone tell me how this isn’t coddling of murderers?
Parang may ghost pagoda #everfilter
WTH facebook. That guy didn’t even do #noshavenovember!
After #noshavenovember
IDK, it feels a bit appropriate for 2016…

Natuwa ako, pero ang silly na yung Legends part is just an L haha
Dear friends who support the president, paki-explain naman yung context ng quote below (yung nasa ibaba) please.
Sa tingin ko, kung ibang abogado ang nagsabi nyan, ambilis nang dumating ng calls for disbarment
Edit: A friend below provides some context: “He was talking about the amount of proof needed to conduct an investigation which is probable cause Lang NOT proof beyond reasonable doubt.”
BTW, speaking of image recognition neural nets, I noticed today that FB images sometimes have alt-text that try to guess the content of the image (yes, dinisable ko browser images ko to check haha)
Everyone today
Hinanap ko pa talaga yung scene haha
@shanselman Not sure if this is a repost or I went back in time…

2016 October

Totally not hyped about new Civ game coming out in approximately 1 day and 9 hours
See, bow talaga! Jaime L. Garcia Christian Cheng Josiah Tendero Habana lol. Parang walang kneel!
Konting tiis na lang!
Yeap
A quote from one of my favorite movies. Whenever the president complains about his critics and the EJK accusations I imagine him to be just like Colonel Jessup and he just wants to blurt out “You can’t handle the truth!”
More scary stuff. I wonder how many other things are happening that go unreported because the victims feel helpless
“I wassss once a man!!”
(To be absolutely fair, Cobra Commander never killed anyone)
Saw this going around on Twitter, but either the posts were deleted or were not made public. Can anyone confirm hearing about this stuff? Scary if true

Karlvin King Listana is this true?
I wonder if people who think like this have always thought like this and are just being emboldened by the current environemnt
An excerpt from a study about sim card registration (http://www.gsma.com/publicpolicy/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/GSMA_White-Paper_Mandatory-Registration-of-Prepaid-SIM-Users_32pgWEBv3.pdf)
One of my biggest fears is that the propaganda, indoctrination, and cult of personality around our dear leader reaches North Korea levels, and the rest of the world will be unable or unwilling to dig us out of whatever quagmire we voluntarily chose to walk into
Hay naku Pilipinas, nakakastress ka

Remember:
So, yesterday I found out my keyboard had been infested by ants (yes, we’re terrible, we shouldn’t be eating too much near the keyboard, etc). There’s some pictures here if you want (warning: ANTS!) I ended up having to take apart the keyboard (twice), rinse it, rinse the keycaps and the rubber contacts separately, then letting it dry overnight. I had already tried putting it back together last night, but it led to some weird problems like the R key rebooting the computer, or the 0 key randomly getting pressed continuously.
