Because of complicated academic bullsh\*t like decarbonization and energy transition, you get creatures like EU politicians denigrating ACs. It's a non-issue elsewhere in the world. If it's hot, get AC. That simple.
So I am freaking out that I have the ability to write letters backwards when writing long sentences. Think of mirror image reverse of words. I can do that in longhand without thinking.
I never had training on this. Nobody taught me how to do this.
And yet I can do it seamlessly. It freaks me out that it might signify some kind of supernatural phenomenon.
Should I be worried? What is causing it?
That's practically a vow of poverty for their level of achievement.
They could have been biglaw partners or law firm founders but here they are just earning 300k USD.
I earn several notches above them and I don't even go to work in an office (I quit biglaw to found my own firm).
Someone tell me they get perks far above the 300k USD.
One side is very big on rehabilitation and intervention and exemption from criminal liability for minors.
The other side calls out for criminal liability and punishment.
But can we make a compromise and agree that: ok, let's exempt mass murdering minors from criminal liability and they should go to rehabilitation, but for the love of God can we have a long-term incarceration that guarantees the safety of the community? For something as heinous as school shootout, 40 years incarceration should be reasonable.
It's not a punishment. It's "rehabilitation" but done behind secured facilities.
If your solution to 14yr old mass murderers is just "guidance counseling," then you hate the community and you should check your common sense.
I appreciate the traditional Filipino cuisine of Mesa, Lorenzo's Way, Manam (to some extent)... it's comfort food, plain and simple.
No experimental bullsh*t.
Unfortunately we see a proliferation of "Pinoy fusion"... turning Filipino cuisine into hybrid homunculus from MoMA. I'm looking at you Locavore, Lampara, etc.
Restaurateurs should stop doing this. Stop feeding us your postmodern post-structuralist garbage.
In a very good way.
One episode ends with a hell of a cliffhanger: Sensui doing a kick and the credits roll mid-kick.
Next episode continues with the landing of that kick.
Now imagine back in the days when you'd have to wait another 24 hours or several days after the mid-kick cliffhanger. What a suspense and what a way to hook viewers in.
No wonder it's so famous in my country.

I was supposed to have a personal assistant to help out my schedule as I attend to my ventures and personal stuff like sports and sailing in Subic.
I ended up sleeping with her. Now I have a PA who can blackmail me when she feels underpaid. She has become inefficient at her work as well, and feels like she's now Exective no.2 in my business group.
What fresh hell is this
EDIT: people calling me out that i should watch out for HR, get a lawyer, or follow company rules. Well guess what there are no f---ng rules in my own company. And im a lawyer.
Philippine accommodations are fantastically bad. and for the most part with insufficient space.
So given these real estate difficulties, why aren't there capsule hotels in the country?
Seems like it's a solution to expensive hotels and accommodations having bad service.
Zen Buddhism's distinguishing characteristic is non-dualistic thinking.
If that is so, then is the sacred/profane distinction applicable to it as a religion? (see sociological definition of religion)
If you say that it's not applicable, then why are there sacred Zen temples? There appears to be a separation of the sacred and the profane through these spaces.
If you say that it is applicable, then it is dualistic after all?
Help me understand.
So I saw a news about Paris streets being filled with non-locals. Is it still ok to visit here?
One represents naked power. The other represents deceptive manipulation. Two figures entwined in a power struggle. I love how this played out in the series.
I don't mind the themes of masculinity and abuse. If film, literature or art has any surface value then it has to be this game-like dynamic of two forces struggling for dominance.
So I don't like matcha but I really like the smell of Matcha Bar in Legaspi Village.
So there is nothing in my opinion more central to how Eton Tower is central in Makati CBD. It's a residential condo while all around it are commercial stores. If you're a busy businessman like me it's really ideal.
No thanks to temples, ruins, viewing decks, nature trips, museums, and historical sites.
I just want food and shopping tours.
I want to know the moral implications of playing a video game with infinitely regenerating trees. If I destroy a tree, it will grow back after a few seconds.
That being said, am I (the player) at liberty to capriciously destroy these trees for fun? Does it have any consequence to my morality as a player?
First of all, their violin cases were extremely huge. They could not have fit in the cabin.
Second, you do know that handcarrying violins on your lap could turn them into projectiles/bullets during a strong turbulence, right?
Third, don't you have the common sense to put those fragile violins in a special cargo handling service for fragile items?
Fourth, if you're really concerned about the safety of those violins, you should not be patronizing a low-cost carrier.
I just find it odd that MSO is getting sympathy when it's totally being a cheapskate here.
Siddhartha is one of the best books I have ever read. Is there a film or series like it?
