Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


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.

“May plano ang Diyos.”

Especially heartless thing to say to a suicidal person who thinks his life is only made up of suffering. What would that mean then? That God wants him to suffer? For what? "Mysterious ways?"

Equally galling is to hear something like “Mahal ka ng Diyos,” but it makes it up for being clearer statement by making God a sadist.

Hearing both in quick succession makes me imagine God as that (the) Sims™ player who enjoys putting sims on pools and deleting the ladder, or making sims stay inside 1×1 rooms until they almost die in a puddle of their own pee (and shit), let their bars recover for a bit and repeat the cycle again and again and again until they get bored.
