An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

With the recent Oshi No Ko debacle on incest, now I'm trying to rationalize society's unfavorable opinion on incest. What element in incest makes it bad? If both people love each other romantically, is of the right age and neither was coerced into doing so, then what right does society have to keep them apart?

Okay, someone may argue that the same bloodline can cause genetic deformities and disorders in their offspring. I get that (Hapsburg jaw is a thing after all). But if that's the case, then shouldn't we also frown upon getting together with people with inheritable diseases (i.e., heart disease, cancers, diabetes), genetic disorders, or harmful lifestyles (i.e., cigarette smoking) that increase the risk of offspring suffering due to those inherited ailments/disorders? AAAAAAHHHH

Now I can't seem to find how incest is objectively and morally harmful to society. Does anyone know a strong argument against it?

I've been using Globe@Home fixed wireless for my home internet since the height of the pandemic. It was serviceable, with bandwidth ranging from 5Mbps to 10Mbps. Enough for browsing, Youtube/Netflix, remote work, and the occasional large downloads.

But last night I got to test a 5G router with a DITO SIM and I was getting up to 600Mbps download in my area. I also tried my own Globe@Home SIM with the 5G router and surprisingly got a 5G signal as well, albeit at 40Mbps download.

Now I'm mulling if I should ditch the Globe account over a DITO account (with a plan that offers the same 5G router I tested) or if I should just go with my original plan to buy an open-line 5G router. I'm still leaning towards the latter, but there's not a lot of choices for a good 5G router and they're hella expensive.

Yund DITO SIM na pinahiram sakin prepaid. Pero yung sa site nila meron 990PHP/200GB data cap, and 1490PHP/Unli data. Yung router na nasa DITO site same dun sa pinahiram sakin pero open-line.

As for my Globe@Home plan, it's just a 999PHP/120GB data cap that's no longer being offered by Globe. Generally hindi ko naman nauubos yung 120GB so I have no real incentive to get a better plan at a higher price. Medyo wary din ako sa DITO kasi yung nagpahiram hindi rin sure sa coverage and hindi kami pareho ng experience sa bandwidth performance. It may have to do with saturation sa area and range limits ng 5G.

What 5G router do you have? I've been looking for one, but couldn't find anything that was even close to reasonable in terms of price.

Mag-ingat sa mga content creators na may Dr. sa pangalan, pero walang M.D. sa dulo. Usually, di sila medical doctors.
