    A man and woman on discussing the font to be used for an invitation:

    Man: Smth smth about font being too cursive, try a simpler straighter font for more readability.

    Woman: Straighter? Baket? Di din naman tuwid ung [REDACTED] mo a.

    Dayum that was a good clapback and got a good laugh out of that.

    Magandang umaga mga Phlemmings!

    @rman0159@lemmy.world 's old story about DZRH on Reddit was hilarious:

    “Stand-By Announcers” do just that—stand by and wait for a technical problem to happen and fill in the gap. If all goes well, all he does is give the opening or closing for pre-recorded programs. But that doesn’t exempt them from disasters. Take for example one who was assigned to stand-by while a pre-taped religious program was being replayed. It was running overtime and it had to be cut while the American pastor was in the midst of preaching emphatically “But Jesus said not a word. Then the devil said…” “This is MBC the Manila Broadcasting Company, DZRH, Manila.” What made it more hilarious was that the announcer’s voice sounded like the pastor’s.

    For those who want to join our Lemmy Baguio community, we are at !baguio@lemm.ee. I know it’s devoid of life now so I might actually need help in getting activity started there. Please delete this comment if this is not allowed 😅.

      It’s catchy, that’s why, and the innuendo is not immediately obvious, unless of course, you have that “mind”

        My important emails are labeled and archived (see colors from the left sidebar, those are Labels). I immediately delete promotional emails whenever I receive one.

    Mahirap pala maging self-aware sa mga benefits na nakukuha natin dahil sa maling sistema, lalo na kung iniisip natin na deserve natin ang nakukuha, lalo na di pumapasok sa isip natin na deserve din ng iba, kahit yung mga taong ayaw natin. #blessed

      Any recommendations sa sandwiches nila? I’ve been passing by a poster of Bahn Mi’s sandwiches but have yet to try one.

    While we’re on the subject of logos, Please vote on which logo will be the next winner of 3 million pesos.

    In the true spirit of laziness , finger pointing creativity that certain government agencies are known for, please note that some most visual elements are blatantly copied from here.

    If any controversy is noted in the above images, automatic response to all controversy is:

    Eh kasi this is a "mood video board with the intention of exciting super mega duper internal stakeholders with lots of money"

        Yun nga eh. Kahit na sa tingin ko may point pa siya, tagilid pa rin siya kasi mas wala syang grounds to stand on other than “Meta is doing shady shit.”

        At saka, sabihin na nating obligated si Ruud na walang sabihin (NDA, injunctions or whatever shit), eh … anong point nung pag-post ng ganun? And within a community within lemmy.world at that?‌ Like, di nya territoryo yun!

          In fairness, I love the transparency of the mod log. I also like how you can put the reason for a thread removal or ban. In Reddit, the best you could do is flair it and a removal reason will be sent via PM.

            Lol~! Nakakapanibago, tbh. The fact that any ordinary user like me can dig that up and piece together a decent guess as to what happened, it’s … refreshing?

    Nag-update pala si lemmy.world an hour ago. It fixes the infamous login issue daw.

    Edit for those who still have issues logging in:

    • When using a browser: clear cookies and cache
    • When using an app: remove your lemmy.world account and add it again.

    I’m glad they didn’t adopt the grey border that lemm.ee now has, lol.

    Edit: Spoke too soon. The grey borders are here! 😒
