I saw this meme where hulu burned some guy who was dissing Parasite because it wasnt in english and had subs. I looked at the guy’s twitter profile and he retweeted a claim that covid was a govt created bioweapon “like ebola”, and i was like “figures”

Many of the manga series I used to follow from long ago have since ended, the only ones still running now are One Piece and Hajime no Ippo. So I thought I’d follow some newer ones. Here are some short reviews: The Promised Neverland I picked up this one due to a strong recommendation from someone I follow on social media. The premise starts out with some super smart kids who grew up in an orphanage without any knowledge of an outside world.

A modern day parable for the Philippines:
Mark Jr. appears before the board of directors of bank. He is applying to be their CEO.
Director A: So, why should we hire you?
Mark Jr: I have a lot of good plans for the bank, I plan to (blah, blah, blah)
Director B: Wow, this guy sounds really good! He has some good plans! We should hire him!
Director A: Wait a minute. (Looking at Mark Jr’s resume). It says here you’re the son of the Mark Sr?
Mark Jr: Yes, so?
Director A: Mark Sr stole billions from this bank when he was the CEO!
Director B: Really? I wasn’t around then.
Mark Jr: That’s not true! My father’s wealth was legitimate!
Director A: There were court decisions ordering him to pay back the money!
Director B: Well, we can’t really fault him for the sins of his father right?
Mark Jr: What he said! That was a long time ago, I was still young then. I had nothing to do with it!
Director A: You were already 20 years old at that time! Your father hired you as his assistant, how could you have nothing to do with it?
Mark Jr: I’m not the one who was convicted right?
Director A: Will you at least apologize for your father’s crimes?
Mark Jr: Why should I apologize? I can only apologize for myself.
Director A: But you admit he stole from this bank?
Mark Jr: The court already decided about that, we should just move on.
Director B: I agree, that’s the past. We should be excited about this guy’s plans for the bank
Director A: Wait a minute, your family hasn’t given back the money your father stole yet. You should give it back!
Mark Jr: I cannot give what I do not have!
Director A: Aren’t you the executor of your father’s estate?
Mark Jr: Hey let’s look to the future ok, not the past
Director B: I think we should give this guy a chance. Look at his father’s record, he did some good stuff for the bank before he stole the money.
Director A: (glares at Director B like he’s an idiot)
If it were you, would you hire Mark Jr?

Can anyone recommend an all-in-one printer/scanner that doesn’t need to be connected to a PC (can print directly from network)? Is there a good model I can buy locally under 5k?

Someone on quora asked:
When will the results for Filipino presidential elections 2016 come in?
Official results most probably around early June. There’s a procedure where the vote tallies for national posts need to be canvassed by Congress. They are required to finish the canvassing after 30 days. Here’s a description of the 2010 canvassing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_canvass_for_the_Philippine_presidential_election,_2010

Someone on quora asked:
What are some reasons to attend the University of the Philippines?
If you live in the Philippines, it’s easily the best University in the country. As compared to the other two generally considered to be tops Universities (Ateneo, DLSU), you get exposed to a wider variety of both professors and students. There is a significant culture of activism and political involvement (if that’s the sort of thing that you like) - except maybe for the College of Engineering, where I found it to be minimal. Because of the varied population of the University, there’s generally something there for everyone.

Someone on quora asked:
How do I spend and save “concentration and attention” throughout day for daily tasks?
It depends on how predictable your day is. If there is a constant risk of crises coming up as the day goes on, it becomes more difficult. Making it more complicated is that people really aren’t very good at assessing how much additional work they can take on without starting to lose focus.
In general, the best idea would probably be to do the most important things, the ones that require your most attention, early in the day when your mind is the most sharp and creative, instead of risking doing them later in the day when intervening crises may have sapped your concentration and focus.

I don’t think many of them actually know, since it all happened in UXF which few of them know about. I doubt Wolverine/Betsy explained things

This just explains how it sucks, not why.

I have a laptop dual booting to Windows 7 and Opensuse 11.2. However, I’d like to switch to a different Linux distro (probably Ubuntu, that’s what I’m used to)
Is there a way for me to do it without losing the Windows 7 setup/data?

Wordpress host – free blog I’ve wanted to try WordPress for a while now, but not having easy access to a PHP-enabled server of my own, I haven’t had the chance. Blogsome is a new, free service that provides WordPress for blogging. I signed up, and roy.blogsome.com was still available (nothing there, don’t bother looking) Am I going to leave blogger? I don’t know, really, I’m already pretty comfortable with it already, and moving to WordPress means learning a while new templating language (I know it would take all of an hour to get it down, but still… inertia).

I’m not much into FPS titles, but over the past couple of weeks, my bro Alvin and I have been playing the occasional game of CTF or Zones in Timesplitters III (via split screen on one TV of course.) The last time I got into an FPS game multiplayer was when Mon, Dave, Paul and I would do a four-way splitscreen on a single TV with the PS port of Quake 2.
