@gallipolicatho Fast and pray when you read. It hits different.

@TakoBoy_QC You’re kinda lucky you got anything back. That’s indeed win. Out of the 3 condos I rented, I got a deducted deposit back once. 😂 Always haggle to 1 + 1 deposit if possible!

今年の1月にフィリピンでコンドを解約し、今週になってようやくSecurity Depositが返ってきました。(クリーニング費用などを引いた80%強) 契約書では退去後2ヶ月以内となっていたんだけどなぁ、、、 まぁ、返ってきただけでもヨシとしよう🙏 今回はエージェントが信頼できるチームだったのでなんとかなったけど、担当者次第では一切返ってこないこともあるのかと思うと、契約時はマジで気をつけないとですね。

@tanpukunokami In the Philippines you pay 6% “capital gains tax” when you sell a property, even if you sell at a loss. The floor is set by the BIR valuation of the property, so the tax can be even higher if sold below that. That on top of yearly taxes. Insane.

信じられないかもしれないけど 日本では 自分の金で買った家に 死ぬまで税金を払い続けます 買う時も、住んでる時も、売る時も 全部取られます しかも死んだあと 子供にまで相続税がかかります 自分の家なのに。

@chikalovesworld I have like 5kg of these lying around. Gonna give to kids around Christmas. 😂

#ManilaLife よく道に落ちてる小銭を拾います。 たいてい25センタポ(約0.65円) 結構過酷な経歴なのか、傷だらけだったりします。 持ち帰り、洗い、神棚にあげてから、本来の流通経路に乗せてあげます。(つまり、使ってます😅🤭) このたび、20ペソ(約52円)に遭遇！初の高額コイン！😆

@LTYokota That’s an insult to those of us who came here legally and followed the rules.

🇵🇭🙄 Legalizing the stay of undocumented foreign nationals in the Philippines just for revenue is both treasonous and destructive to Filipinos. Where will the revenue really go? What will these foreign nationals really do on Filipino soil?

@PicturesFoIder Just a while ago Diesel was the same but without the 1 in the front.

🚨🇯🇵DISGUSTING Japan honors Epstein Billionaire Bill Gates with "Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun", the highest honor given to civilians for his environmental contributions like bug food and vaccine research Disgraceful. Pure optics failure and insult to taxpayers.

@Render1ng1898 My English has deteriorated over the years of living in the Philippines to a level people call me conyo. The grammar, the pronunciation, the whole bunch. Doesn’t help that I find it difficult to speak English without throwing in some Tagalog words. I am not even a Filipino.

I hate it when Filipinos these days speak English because a lot if them try to hide the accent but instead emphasise it Filipinos from the ‘40s to the ‘90s that spoke English spoke more elegantly because they focused on what they’re saying rather than the American accent

@DarioCpx Bro it’s the Philippines. People here operate on pure chaos and divine intervention. Planning ahead is a concept that’s not been imported yet.

I am currently in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and I asked some of the locals how’s the situation with oil here since, to my surprise, I saw no panic whatsoever so far. ✅ Gasoline is up from ~60PHP to ~140PHP (or ~2.32$) per L in a month ❌ Demand not only hasn’t decreased so far, but because of rush to get extra oil before price increases further, people and businesses bought more Gasoline and Diesel ⚠️ Every single business is including higher fuel costs into prices, but they haven’t seen drop in demand or bookings for the summer season ✅ People are aware there might be significant less fuel available soon, but nobody is cutting on his own consumption saying they plan to adapt if the scarcity will effectively manifest itself Overall the approach to the matter feels like “isn’t going to be just my problem, but everyone’s so no need to stress about it.” ❌ HK and Philippines airports were packed, no flight cancellations whatsoever because of lack of Jet Fuel. My overall feeling about this anecdotal experience so far is that everyone thinks this is just a temporary problem. Contrary to what we read in the news, I don’t see much planning ahead concretely. This also leads me to believe that the price point where we will start seeing demand destruction is much much higher than current projections of 150$ or even 200$. If this is the case for a country like Philippines I believe is fair to assume the price point is even higher for developed economies. Talking to other friends currently in Indonesia, China, Australia, Taiwan or Japan they shared similar accounts of what I observed here. The only person who flagged me significant impact is the manager of a factory in Europe that makes plastic products and after Easter they plan to cut production from 3 shifts a day to 2 shifts not because of high prices but because their suppliers already cut the deliveries of oil raw materials they agreed to before. Clearly life will goes on till troubles, eventually, materialise.

@kotakot07088271 Amen. 🙏

@GamewithDave Quake 2, spent lots of hours on this. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was tons of online fun! Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy had an interesting theme. Grim Fandango, another cool puzzle clicker. Populous: The beginning, probably the only RTS I have liked.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

@dom_lucre $1700/mo is in the livable territory here I guess, but you will not be going out a lot.

🔥🚨JUST IN: This woman has stunned thousands of Americans online after revealing they are rich in the Philippines. $1700 is considered very rich in the nation according to her.

@joshreederx @sama

@sama Just ran this, how accurate is the answer

GPT-5 rollout updates: *We are going to double GPT-5 rate limits for ChatGPT Plus users as we finish rollout. *We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o. We will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for. *GPT-5 will seem smarter starting today. Yesterday, the autoswitcher broke and was out of commission for a chunk of the day, and the result was GPT-5 seemed way dumber. Also, we are making some interventions to how the decision boundary works that should help you get the right model more often. *We will make it more transparent about which model is answering a given query. *We will change the UI to make it easier to manually trigger thinking. *Rolling out to everyone is taking a bit longer. It’s a massive change at big scale. For example, our API traffic has about doubled over the past 24 hours… We will continue to work to get things stable and will keep listening to feedback. As we mentioned, we expected some bumpiness as we roll out so many things at once. But it was a little more bumpy than we hoped for!

@talluulaaaa Diedrich

what names that starts with a D and sounds fancy?

@elonmusk 😂

@Intelligentle10 @Rainmaker1973 My cards don’t even have a spot for signature anymore. Yet there is one supermarket where they always ask for it. 😂

@Rainmaker1973 Don't those cards need a signature on the back of them?

@Starlink wtf. A 40% price increase?

@DanielleMejiaCA What

Can you take a Guess?

@matty4188 @0xGenesisDAO Well put. 🙌

🧵 Was it a scam? 🧵 So what happened to $GEN @0xGenesisDAO it's a question many have asked me. Now, before we start, yes, i shilled this project hard. I wasn't paid. I'm not a member of the team. So, let's continue this thread 🧵👇
