    @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.

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

    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!

    I finally was set free from an emotionally abusive relationship. She broke up with me and I finally had the courage to not chase after her.

    But she’s visibly upset. And I’m afraid of what she’ll do to herself. But at the same time, I wanna start looking after myself and start my healing. But I feel guilty for letting her be. While here I am reconnecting with my friends.

    What do I do?

      I think if there’s any circumstance that the three-month rule should apply, it’s this.

      GIve your time to heal, to process. Pag mejo okay na, then siguro okay nang kausapin siya. But take care of yourself first. Besides, she’s the one who broke up with you.

        New development lang. She’s saying she’s going to commit suicide before blocking me entirely from all her socials. Goes without saying I’m really panicking. What I did is I contacted her close friend. Sabi naman nila pupuntahan daw nila ngayon pero wala pa ko update. I really feel bad. She was indeed the one who broke up with me but the way she spins the story e ako daw yung nang abandon. And the scary part is I think she also believes that imagined scenario. Sobrang fucked up na din talaga. I’m at a loss kasi what if she went through with it? I won’t be able to bear the guilt and baka sumunod nalang din ako bigla.

          Di ba pwedeng i-report mo yan sa authorities? Discreetly if possible. Show receipts.

          I’ve got a feeling she’s doing everything she can to either get your attention, or failing that, paint you as a villain.

          I won’t be able to bear the guilt and baka sumunod nalang din ako bigla.

          Better take care of yourself first, and far better from taking my advice as an internet stranger. Find someone who can better help you (a professional or whatever.

          I wish you all the best. Kaya mo yan. Kakayanin.

          Naniniwala ako sa kasabihang, “if we knew better, we could have done better.”

          Ginawa mo lang ang alam mong tama base sa kaunting alam mo. Sapat man yun o hindi, minsan wala na tayo magagawa para mabago ang sitwasyon kundi patawarin ang ating mga sarili at iwasan na lang maulit muli yung mga mali.

          Kung galing ka sa isang abusive relationship, mahirap maging mabait sa sarili. Sana matutunan mong mahalin at magpatawad ng sarili para di maulit muli yung mga mali.

            Tagos na tagos sakin tong sinabi mo na 'to. Recently kasi I’ve been questioning myself baka nga talagang di ko nahandle nang maayos yung relationship. Baka ako talaga yung dahilan why it became chaotic. Pero kung aalisin ko kasi yung acquired knowledge ko ngayon after everything that happened, I think I really just did what I thought was right during those times. I’m slowly coming into terms with it. Kaso the threat of her, committing suicide is becoming a huge roadblock para makapagstart na sana ko magfocus on my own healing. Why is the world so cruel? Antagal ko bago makakuha ng courage to not chase after her tapos biglang may suicide threats naman sa huli. Ang gulo rin kasi she keeps saying na she’s not trying to get me back. Pero at the same time she’s saying na ginagawa nya yun kasi she feels she has no one else already. And that wala naman daw kasing sasagip sa kanya. And that desidido na daw sya. Hirap neto sobra.

              Natatakot sya na hindi nya makakayayanan yung loneliness at helplessness. Natatakot ka naman na hindi mo makakayanan yung guilt, tama ba?

              Sana dumating yung araw na marealize nyo na kaya nyo pala separately. Mukhang malabo lang siguro sa ngayon with the limited info and skills we have. Hopefully , eventually, we’ll learn how to cope if we keep trying.

    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

          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.

        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!

    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! 😒
