Nauna pa Filipinas kaysa sa Azkals. Maybe they need their own LAQ (Lemmy Ask Q).

Also include daw and din

"Meron nga pa ba sana."

I once downloaded and tried to read a reference grammar for Filipino (Tagalog, as it's indicated in the document). It was an interesting experience trying to make sense of that document with zero linguistics knowledge and only guessing using what I "innately know" of the language.

As far as "one particle changing the meaning of the entire sentence" I think a close analog would be the Japanese か／かな／ね used at the end of a sentence.

For example:

美味しいですね。

 undefined

        [Romaji] Oishii desune(?)

    [Filipino] Masarap 'no?

  

---

美味しいですか。

 undefined

        [Romaji] Oishii desuka?
    [Filipino] Masarap ba?

  

---

美味しいかな。

 undefined

        [Romaji] Oishii kana?
    [Filipino] Masarap kaya?
  

Edge actually does perform better than Chrome, they actually managed to optimize a Chromium-based browser.

Same same. Edge din gamit ko. Gusto ko rin sa Edge yung nakakagawa ng folder for all the tabs para malinis tapos pwede pa i-label. When you search, may suggestion/sagot yun chatbot. If you use the chatbot, naglalagay siya ng links for reference unlike other chatbots na sasagot lang.

I refuse to use Edge even when I'm on a Windows machine out of principle (or spite, either works), but when I do (when I have to), I‌ think it's better than Google Chrome. In fact, I don't think I even have Google Chrome on my Windows installation.

Although I have my questions.

Is Edge better (than Google Chrome) for Windows machines only? And if so, is it because MS have devoted some time optimizing it for Windows? Or did MS do a good job across the board (all supported OS'es)? Did the IE memes finally get them to actually improve on things? That the reputation of IE has spurred them to make Edge the best browser it can be (despite demands from corporate/marketing)?

handsomely doing fine.. hope you too..

That's every single day (night) for me

Mukhang babagsak na ulan anytime soon. The winds are starting to pick up the last hour or so.

At this point, my body just autopilots until I get home.

On a more practical sense, someone once told me that discipline and habit is far more important than motivation once things are properly rolling. Motivation might be the spark that gotten things rolling, but it's discipline and habit that keeps it going. (And that I ought to listen to that advice myself.)

However, in a more philosophical sense, I think accepting that you've lost your own spark and facing that very question “how does one be alive?” with the intent of reigniting that lost spark is pretty much facing the absurd. That facing that question every waking day of one's life, answering that question for every moment, is pretty much the point. Whether or not the answer makes sense (in the moment or otherwise) or not is irrelevant, because the value is not in the answer, but in the way we face it.

It could be that for today, I could face it by making a slight detour in my daily commute and allowing myself to get lost on the way home, for example. It could be that for some other day, just as an example, I could choose to face it by not wearing any underwear during a work zoom meeting, relishing on that danger of being exposed. Or it could be as trivial as making pancit by using spaghetti. Or making spaghetti by using pancit bihon. All trivial things in the big picture, but if it makes my day any little more tolerable, then so be it.

Demotivation. Treat it as a normal thing. Capitalists just attached a negative connotation to it.

Good idea. Already in talks with someone if we could use her artwork. :)

here's some 90s remix

Beneco ano naaaaaa XD dalawang araw ng wala

Not having any vices. Closest was a sip of alcohol more than a decade ago, and that's it.

"Pick up after yourself. Clean as you go."

Only in my own room am I allowed to relax and be a slob. However, I dislike things not being put back in their proper places, so things end up more or less orderly anyways.

drinking alcoholic drinks

Need to pay bills as soon na makuha yung statement.

Though mas okay na today dahil sa online banking, whereas before, binibitbit ako ni mama sa payment center.

Hugging. My father loved to cuddle with us (a lot, and that's one of the reasons why I feel like I'm closer to my dad than to my mom), his sons, to the point where I subconsciously picked up that habit of his and now I feel so satisfied whenever I get a pillow to hug (not the usual hug, but rather the one with one of your legs above the side of the person you're hugging).

Saying shhhh pag nakabagsak ka ng gamit.

It's just so funny ung (silly) concept of removing all responsibility from you being the one na nakalaglag ng gamit by implying a shhh mo na ibang tao ung nakabagsak and hindi ikaw.

I've seen and heard this much from my parents to the point that i unwittingly do it from time to time (though I try to limit it).

I guess it's the false sense of comfort you feel by convincing yourself na hindi ikaw ung nakabagsak ng gamit kaya lagi nila ginagawa un LMAO.

This is the reason I don't use search suggestions. When accidentally tap/click that link, everything with metadata/algorithm go off the rails. Kaya tinurn off ko yan sa browser ko.

I assume this is Facebook. They act the same thing with browsers, except your recent searches on online platform stored on their servers.

Either sadyang pinindot or aksidente, that query always shows up until madelete ni user.

It's possible. Baka nagta-type siya ng something and someone's profile appeared on the suggestions and na-click/enter by accident.

Pwede din sinadya, but I presume he would be wise enough to cover his tracks if it was malicious.

I've been racking my brain trying to remember the song and for some reason could only imagine a folksy melody. It took some repetition until I got the right tone.

And I thought my memory was amazing with how I could sing some random song I haven't heard in years.
