  • Wow, we’re approaching North Korea levels of stupid here. I didn’t link directly to the post because I didn’t want to give them even more shares, pero ang nakakatawa naniniwala sila lahat duon lol. Or maybe nakakaiyak? Andami pang naniniwala dun sa comments!

  • Kung merong kelangan mag move on para magkaron ng Unity, bakit hindi ang Marcoses ang mag move on at ilibing na lang si Marcos sa Ilocos? Mas ma-aappreciate pa ng mga tao duon for some reason I can’t fathom. Bakit yung mas madami na nagdusa sa mga kasalanan ni Marcos (na karamihan hindi pa nabibigyan ng hustisya) ang magbibigay-daan para lamang sa pride ng iisang pamilya? Hindi ba dapat the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

  • So, after all that weighing of pros and cons of the different candidates, I might be the only idiot who accidentally voted #abstain4president. It wasn’t any glitch in the machine or the ballot, just a glitch in the user. After standing in a hot queue for one hour, I took my ballot and sat down. I decided to skip the President slot first and just come back to it later since I was undecided, then filled in VP, Party-List and Senators. I decided to just skip the local candidates altogether and submitted my ballot and only realized my mistake when the scanner said UNDERVOTE for president. Oh well, I guess it was my destiny to abstain after all haha. I leave the rest to you guys!

  • 2016 Book #5: Triumph of the Darksword. I read the first two books of this trilogy back in high school, and I recently decided to get a used copy from Amazon (special thanks to the courier, you know who you are). I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to dive into the third book without having to re-read the first two, with a general recollection of the events from the first book still intact. I found it a bit heavy-handed with the prose, as the writers spend a couple of paragraphs in each scene for each character to ponder in self-doubt, fear or despair. I forget if that’s something they did in the Dragonlance books as well. The plot of this book went in a direction that I wouldn’t have been able to predict, but I guess the ending was satisfying enough. Time to read: Eight episodes of Battlestar Galactica

  • As I mentioned in a separate thread, one of the things that I find most scary is the fanaticism and unquestioning loyalty of the Duterte supporters online. The attached photo is a sampling of comments in Carlos Conde’s post that contained links to reports from various international organisations regarding the DDS killings. (Carlos Conde’s original post: https://www.facebook.com/carlosconde.ph/photos/a.527960643942515.1073741825.136793129725937/943857712352804/?type=3)

    The comments read worse than a Youtube comments section, with responses typically:

    1. assuming anyone who is against their candidate is automatically either a criminal or a paid hack
    2. advocating murder and/or rape or some other form of violence against anyone who disagrees
    3. pointing to other problems (saf44/mamasapano) as if the existence of those problems makes this one any less problematic
    4. assuming it’s a demolition job meant to derail Duterte’s campaign (which would be more believable)

    I’m not saying all Duterte supporters are like this, but his campaign isn’t going to garner much support from social media moderates like me if majority of the supporters argue in this manner. Ganito ba ang discussions sa Davao? Is this the kind of mentality we can expect under a Duterte presidency?

    (And can someone enlighten me on the “Imperator Obesiosa” reference? I have no idea what that is supposed to be)

    (I am also mildly annoyed by the “Du30” thing, parang ang jejemon lang lol)

  • I wonder how bad the performance on that matching job is. 60M x4 is a lot of records, but I assume that they generate some sort of unique hash for each fingerprint that should be indexed to make matching faster. If not, /glare

    Also, do go check your registration details people~
