I think “Palakpakan” trike driver is an important test case for more nuanced discussions on digital vigilantism.
It turns out he was in the right — indeed, there are times that street becomes two-way. Of course, he was still wrong in the sense that his license was expired, but that’s a completely different argument and is just moving the goalposts. 100% of the reason why people are mad at him is because he allegedly counterflowed and had the audacity to mock who filmed it.
Basically, I absolutely hate Hawthorne Effect. Someone who has a camera would deliberately agitate people, film it, and act like they’re level-headed in the clip.
Makes me think how for decades a lot of nice things were destroyed for scrap materials or for entertainment – like this Pontiac GTO – and now many are scrambling to find and pay hugely for antiques.
Packaging art in some SME products start to appear suspect.
Not all of them are made by hand. 🤦♂️
How’s the air feeling around you all? Mine’s gotten to the point where it basically equates that of Baguio City during the night, though I think this amihan influence might or mightn’t last the new several weeks.
Really great. I don’t even have to turn the fan on most of the time because it’s so chilly. Reminds me of the Jan-Feb weather in 2015 when I’d go to lunch in Makati and despite the sun rays it feels like I’m in Benguet.
Nights these days are relatively colder, around 25C° to sometimes 23C°, and once I saw 22C°. To the point that turning on a fan is usually enough. But I’m also preparing for the hell months April and May lol
PPOP is now boring, am going back to my old local alt-rock tapes.
Also, the frustrating thing about local pop music is one of a constant war between fans and what is called “evil” management.
This woman did not realize she was watching a slop video.
