There's being neurodivergent too. My mom said I was a hothead when I was a young kid. I have ADHD btw.

Even on mobile, just turning the websites into webapps is a smooth experience... (currently using Firefox)

The fediverse in general is like the Wild West of the internet.

Not on Voyager. It displays as 2 years ago for me.

Jeez. I knew they were tankies but I didn't know that they were deliberately leveraging their instance to put other instances at a disadvantage. I recently moved to piefed for an unrelated reason after a discussion about kbin, this place was said to have a faster rate of development.

To be fair, that green circle is really big

I honestly wish I didn't have to rely on apps made by corpos just to stay updated in school. And I would probably need to use Google and Windows products once I start work. Ugh

It makes me feel like all the suffering people inflict for the sake of selfishness jand greed just pointless.

What do you think of schools imposing penalties on those who don't speak English even outside the subject English? I remember my private elementary teacher saying that they will be imposing a peso fine everytime we are caught speaking Tagalog. I'm not sure if they were serious though.

Wow I did not expect for this to get there! And yeah it's just really bad, I thought the attitude was a thing of the past but when I visited that place I was shocked to see that sign. Another assumption I remember from when I was a kid is that the more American-like you can speak English, the more smarter or sophisticated you are. My only hunch as to why English is encouraged at the cost of our language is because a huge part of our economy is Tourism, BPO and Remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers.

I only hope that someday, the Philippines can attain some degree of self-sufficiency, so we don't have to groom our children as subordinates to foreign people.
