From Philippines, was there on reddit for about a decade. There's that many from that country because most of the users are young and looking for discussion spaces for their hobbies, mainly PC and console gaming but also other niche interests, progressive politics and alternative lifestyles because Facebook is becoming oversaturated with unwanted content.
Makes me think how for decades a lot of nice things were destroyed for scrap materials or for entertainment, and now many are scrambling to find and pay hugely for antiques.

A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame. ...
I'd like to know how long they were voting for GOP because as an immigrant family in a red state they thought by always voting for that party they expected stability and security while stiff-arming Dems and progressives as being disruptive. They never expected a gaslighting autarky-loving opportunist to destroy their business altogether.

I think that the people who did the research will continue doing the research.
Yes, but that number is getting smaller. Where I live, most households rarely have a full bookshelf, and instead nearly every member of the family has a "smart" phone; they'll grab the chance to use anything that would be easier than spending hours going through a lot of books. I do sincerely hope methods of doing good research are still continually being taught, including the ability to distinguish good information from bad.
Maj. Gen. William Hank Taylor, commanding general of the 8th Army, told Business Insider he is using AI tools like ChatGPT to make decisions that can impact thousands of soldiers. ...
And AI-generated user profiling. Like say if you hate fascists in general, admire a certain Luigi and even talk about committing violence against fascists, the mods/admins will pull up that profile and use it to slap a ban.
They like hobbyists. They don't want hobbyists talking about progressive politics and propaganda of the deed.
we visited a museum showcasing the local Filipino culture
I daresay you name that museum, it needs to be known so that we are properly warned.
Have you guys experienced these policies?
Rarely in my experience since because I was educated in public schools and there is no language enforcement and never been tapped on the shoulder just because of a language to speak.
is it all just for the prestige?
With regionalism being strong in some places, there are some Bisaya -- either Cebuano, Ilonggo, or Waray, etc. -- who see Tagalog as a form of "cultural imperialism" from so-called "Imperial Manila" and as such they would actively or passively oppose it, and instead rather use English as a bridge language to try talking with other Filipinos from other parts of the country. Yeah, and some have weaponized language to the extent they would give certain perks and privileges to those speaking their own language.
In addition, some individuals or organizations are enforcing the concept that English is a language of the "educated" or the "civilized", and asking people to leave their regional language behind their homes.
Why it still remains popular for families themselves to take care of their elderly at their homes, rather than allowing total strangers to put them in... what amounted to animal-like conditions?
Mp3s are at it. Because Spotty doesn't have some of the songs I actually like, and record companies even remove tracks that were previously available on physical media.
In a move that could redefine how millions work, Microsoft is steering Word users toward the cloud, sparking debates over convenience, control, and the future of local storage. ...
Some provinces in the so-called Solid North remain undeveloped, and instead are ruled over by your average political dynasties who decide nearly everything, including business investments and infrastructure projects, for their personal advantage.
That the bridge was then built for smaller 10-wheeler trucks of its time, but not to absorb vehicles and loads greater than its design weight... and should have been replaced not so long ago if it weren't for the emasculation of provincial and regional DPWH offices becoming beholden to those dynasties.
The left is pretty much splintered into different types of ideologies, levels of hostility towards conservatism, and having wildly different objectives to accomplish, so they could not agree with each other and thus rarely ever win over the right.
The right-wingers? They have unanimous hatred towards the left and seemingly united until once they defeat the left, they'll fight and kill each other as to who gets the biggest slice of the pie.
I'm saying this because much of the left are split over this personality.
PCs stopped being cheap beginning with the Thailand floods years ago, which made hard drives expensive for a while, then crypto and NFTs repeatedly made GPUs costly, and that stupid Chia craze. Then manufacturers started swapping out minute components while keeping prices same or elevated. Now with AI where nVidia and AIBs can game the market in favor of techbros.
What's the deal? Are people just going to continue to pay a never-ending rising cost of streaming? Surely this model can't keep up, and I highly doubt people are listening to essentially the diverse catalog of music for that price. I'm willing to bet most people listen to the equivalent of a couple CDs in a month. ...
