I honestly disagree with this conclusion. A lot of us grew up tasting the belt, slipper, or even a light spanking—and we didn’t grow up to be killers or violent people. It doesn’t mean physical punishment is automatically the best way to discipline a child, but saying it makes children more likely to become violent feels like a huge generalization.

What matters is the context, frequency, severity, and overall environment a child grows up in. Many of us experienced strict discipline and still learned respect, responsibility, and self-control.
So is every form of physical discipline automatically harmful? I’m not entirely convinced. What are your thoughts?

Comparing Kara David to a content creator after one visit to the site is like comparing a doctor who studied medicine for decades to someone who searched symptoms online.

This is not about belittling content creators. They have influence, and many use their platforms responsibly. But journalism carries a different weight of responsibility.

Kara David has spent decades immersing herself in communities, crossing rivers, climbing mountains, living with indigenous peoples, and spending weeks or even months researching stories before presenting them to the public. Her documentaries are built on verification, multiple sources, and accountability.

A single visit can show one perspective. But journalism demands a deeper question: What happened before? Who are affected? What do the records say? What are the facts behind what is immediately visible?

Credibility is not earned through virality or follower count. It is earned through years of fieldwork, integrity, and the willingness to listen to stories that many choose to ignore.

You may disagree with a journalist’s findings, but reducing decades of responsible journalism into “content” simply because someone posted a different experience after one visit does a disservice to the profession.

Not all cameras serve the same purpose. Some capture moments.

Others spend a lifetime uncovering truths.

Hot take: mas masarap ang Dan Eric’s icecream compare sa other brands. And may nabasa ako sa threads na mabait din daw may-ari nyan.

Hindi ko minamaliit ang mga naiambag ni Rene Baterbonia o ang pagmamahal ng mga tao sa kanya. Pero minsan parang sumosobra na ang pag-idolo hanggang nagmumukhang kulto na kaysa simpleng pag-alala. Mas magandang ipagpatuloy ang mabubuting aral niya kaysa gawing sentro ng lahat ang kanyang pangalan. Kayo, ano ang tingin ninyo?

I keep seeing different "holy grail" lists for oily skin, but everyone's experience seems so different. Some products work amazingly for one person and completely fail for another. If you've tried any of these, what was your experience? Which ones are worth every peso, which ones are overrated, and what products would you add or remove from this list? Let's help each other build a routine that actually lasts all day.

I've noticed a pattern.

People praise journalists for exposing corruption, government failures, and anomalies—until the reports implicate a politician they support. Suddenly, the media becomes "biased," "paid," or "fake."

On the other hand, if the same report targets a politician they dislike, it's immediately accepted as truth.

Isn't that a form of confirmation bias? Shouldn't we evaluate the evidence and reporting itself instead of deciding whether to believe it based on whose side is affected?

Curious to hear different perspectives. At what point do you think criticism of the media is justified, and when does it become selective outrage?
