      Im worried about the kids of today being driven to become terminally online. The opportunities for children to go out and have fun are diminishing because of rising costs and increasing car centric infrastuctures. I feel like this is why more and more children are becoming depressed and isolated

          Speaking of 3rd places, napapaisip ako minsan kung viable pa ang “3rd place” exclusive groups (ie eagles, masons, rotary). Ive never been involved in any pero nawala na yung “mystery” ba sa mga grupong mga ganyan? The exclusive networking seems more or less gone with today’s interconnectivity.

            my definition of a 3rd place is a communal space where there is little to no capital(money) needed to enter so think the library , church , public parks those clubs are still exclusive in the sense that you need an absurd level of influence or cash to enter

      Baka mas wala na silang pag-asa.

      • Mas mahal na ngayon ang bilihin
      • Mas konti na ang sweldo
      • Mas magulo na ang buhay ngayon.

        pagkaintindi ko sa situationship parang MU ng nakaraan, este non-committal dahil di pa talaga alam kung anong gagawin sa buhay hahaha so di naman siyang bagong bagay feel ko

          yeah it’s probably just me being old fashioned yung pagkakaintindi ko sa MU is high chance na exclusive kayo because you have mutual respect where as situationship I see it as it’s either 1:Many or Many:Many

          The funny thing about relatives asking when you’re getting married is that it doesn’t stop, lol.

          Once you get married, they’re asking when you’ll have a kid. When you do have a kid, they ask kailan nyo susundan. Pag sinundan nyo, kailan naman daw lalaki.

          It really is just harmless small talk. It’s the only thing you can ask someone you haven’t seen in months. It’s not like they’re asking about your sex life or who’s top and bottom.

            Oh yeah ganyan naman talaga. Eventually, sa mga bata naman maipapasa ang “anong grade mo na? > graduate ka na? > may jowa ka na? > kailan ka magaasawa?”

        to be fair yung mga results ni google ngayon parang kailangan lagyan mo pa ng website name sa dulo para lang makita mo yung kailangan mo or go further down sa results cause everything is so SEO focused nowadays unless you know the weird search parameters like filetype:pdf and alike
