in my language we have one pronoun for all genders(siya). it just morphs depending on context(siya/sila/niya/nila).

well obviously wet bugs are cleaner since they’re surrounded by water all the time

what if… the US invasion of Iraq and Saudi censorship of the press can both be bad?

it’s not about how easy it is to install it’s that it has to be installed at all. Over here we prefer phones as there’s a lot of cheap phones here that only cost less than $100, and since most phones here come preinstalled with chrome, even if firefox is free and all, why go through the hassle of having to go and install it when Chrome’s already there?

most people here have a mindset of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” which explains a lot of things wrong in this country.

I’m from the Philippines and I can explain why, at least here, most people still use chrome. Over here, we’re much more concerned about our money and time over our rights and privacy, which means we usually just choose the most convenient and cheap money-wise, which is why the majority of us still use chrome and why the government here can get away with so much shit. we don’t care about our rights not because we’re being given bread and circuses, but because we’re too busy making a circus out of ourselves so we can buy bread.

chatGPT doesn’t chastize me like a drill instructor whenever I ask it coding problems.

idk man, the Philippines has been trying capitalism for a while and it only empowered the aristocrats here even more and turned them into oligarchs.

I live in the Philippines where gas is still primarily used for cooking. I think the problem here is a mix of a lack of government support thanks to gas company lobbying and the lack of affordable electric heating.
