    Just discovered the Probe Archives today (thanks to the viral post about Chynna Ortaleza’s throwback) and ang dami nila mga classic clips from Probe Team and 5&Up. I love this 1988 feature on the Tasaday tribe the most. At the time, hindi pa definitively proven na hoax siya although it’s mentioned that some professors doubt the story.

      I vividly remember Chynna and Angel Locsin being newbies in show business back then when they were part of Click, the old GMA show.

      Ugh. This makes me feel ancient. Aside from, you know, actually being ancient.

    Inannounce na pamalit ng Reddit sa rewards - Community Points.

    tl,dr: You earn tokens by posting/moderating which can be exchanged for premium features.

    So in other words, mas lalo pa dadami mga “What is your favorite baon nung elementary” and anything that has “toxic” now that you actually get “paid” to karma farm.

    Doing grocery shopping at SM hypermarket or puregold is just plain annoying when you have people lining up and their cart is filled up. It’s even worse when it is payday.

      Doing grocery shopping at SM Hypermarket or Puregold is just plain annoying when they don’t provide enough cashiers to keep customers from leaving the store quicker. It’s even worse when they make it look like it’s the customer’s fault for the slow transaction.

        Yes but filling up the cart to the max is what i’m trying to point out. Worst ones are those that have two carts and both are literally filled. And I’m forced to wait in line when I don’t have much items. Can’t even switch to another lane because it’s the same problem.

          I feel sorry for you calling those who probably are doing the grocery on behalf of a lot of people “worst” just because it inconveniences you, as if they don’t experience the same inconvenience.

      I was on r/ when people were giving away Bitcoin via tipping bots to anyone curious. All you had to do was claim it. Everyone was happy to introduce the concept to anyone who’d listen. Well, I wish I did.

      Hypothetically speaking, if you got in on bitcoins super early (to the point that it’s free), will you liquidate all of them? Keep a few and sell? Or hold on everything?

      I noticed that some local properties allow BTC as payment now, so that’s one way of moving it.

    I think I need to clean my Youtube watch history. I keep getting Youtube Shorts with content I’d rather skip and marking the channel with Do Not Rec is useless since it’s always a different channel. I’d rather penalize channels that feature Rogan, Tate, and their ilk.

    pasintabi sa mga kumakain HAHAHA .

    .

    .

    still remember this one time a semi-posh kikay classmate asked me

    !atom, nakahawak ka na ba ng tae?!<

    !and my naive younger self instinctively responded with (ew wtf?) hmm, hindi pa bakit?!<

    !then she goes “e pano ka naghuhugas ng pwet?”!<

    !then she smiled slightly laughing at my shitty realization after dropping that crappy bait as though she wasn’t one you would see as considerably hot 😅!<
