I know madali lang sainyo yung sagot "pera siyempre mas mahirap maging mahirap eh" because I've (28M) been there too. I used to work a 9 to 5 job and nakikipag sabayan sa stress ng commute everyday from Cavite to Pasay uwian. I used to earn 18k per month, which is not enough for me, sa mama ko and kapatid ko. I dreaded that life that I just wish to have a sugar daddy and I'll do anything and everything, magpaka alila, maging s£x slave, just get me out of this cycle.
I had to endure that for 5 fvcking years until my partner (32M) figured it out in life. He was promoted big time at his work. He also does a few side jobs and now he's earning a lot, enough to buy himself a condo, a car, expensive trips locally and internationally. Ofcourse kasama ako sa lahat ng plano niya. He took me in his condo, taught me how to drive and get a license, brought me to Japan, S.Korea, China, etc. and soon sa Europe. He buys anything and everything that I want like clothes, shoes, food. Pag may cravings ako, binibili niya agad. I don't even have a job anymore and all I need to do now is to cook good food for him, maintain a clean house, do laundry, take care of our cats, and most importantly, stay cute. Tinupad niya yung wish ko na magka sugar daddy. He loves me that much.
I always looked up and admired him kasi matalino talaga siya, very competitive, and an achiever. I always knew he could do it. I knew he was the one, the one who would get me out of poverty. My meal ticket.
That's why I never let him go. I never left him even though he fvcking deserved it. Even though paulit ulit niya akong ginagagago at nagsisinungaling all those years. He cheated on me multiple times and ilang beses ko din siya pinatawad. It's mental torture being with him, sobrang nakakabaliw na laging may iniisip na may ibang kasama ung mahal mo and now I fell out of love, though he still love me and defends himself by saying "libog lang yun pero ikaw lang talaga ang mahal ko" or sometimes "I'm literally gonna kill myself if you leave me".
Anyway, I installed the yellow app myself and went on destructive, revenge hook ups. It was hard at first. I felt so disgusted of myself doing that pero there's something thrilling and exciting about hiding a dirty little secret from your partner. I did that multiple times as well, gusto ko lang maging patas.
My hook ups always tell me the same thing, that I'm cute, I'm cool, I'm the type na binabahay haha. I don't really get attached easily, until I met this guy. I know what you're thinking, that it's clichè etc. pero eto kasi talaga yung nangyari. I met a guy, let's call him Ed (25M) on the app and apart from being MUCH BETTER in bed, I also noticed that he has similar personalities with my partner.
Eventually, we grew closer and gusto niya akong ligawan. He's definitely my type and I would've said yes in an instant but that would mean I'll have to let go of the life of comfort that my partner gave me so I told him the truth about my situation. He said he really likes me and he knows kaya niya din daw maachieve kung anung meron ung partner ko now. I didn't give a thought about that at first until I did a little background check (stalking) and I was mindblown. He has really GREAT, great achievements that is very hard for a regular person like me. I don't wanna be specific kasi baka ma doxx ko siya pero he's super smart and he's still young so I don't doubt he will achieve far better than my partner. Kaya pala I noticed some similarities between them during our talks. He's also super sweet and nice.
All I know now is that we really like each other and I wanna take a chance with him. I haven't felt this excitement in a while yung parang you don't know what's gonna happen next. Pero what about this comfortable life na binigay sakin ng partner ko? do I have to stay with someone I don't even love anymore para lang makapagtravel, makain at mabili ung mga gusto ko? Or pursue a relationship with Ed and find out if mas magiging masaya ba ako kahit maghirap basta magkasama kame? I don't know..
Akala ko dati sa mga drama lang sa tv nangyayari ung ganto at pera lagi ang tamang sagot. Hindi pala... but I wanna know if someone else ang nasa lagay ko, anung gagawin niyo? I'm trying to see something.

The guy said it was repainted so that’s why it has a different outer shell than inside

Honest curious question, given all that Dubai promotes regarding ease of doing business, low tax, capital availability, multi-cultural society, high growth market, access to smart technologies, innovative - entrepreneurial mindsets etc.
Why is it the same countries like the UK, USA, Japan, France, Korea etc are still the most found sources of original concepts and brands? In the past 20 years.
Thanks.

Hello - I'll be traveling Asia for 3 months (Philippines, Bali, Korea, and Hong Kong) and would love any recommendations on Travel Health Insurance. I booked all my flights with a Capital One Venture X credit card (excluding my flight home on an AMEX) so I don't know if there is any more coverage I should get in case of an emergency, especially for health.

We are planning to visit korea on June 27-July 3. However, I am not looking forward to it as much as I want to due to the comments I have read regarding the weather. Is it rainy? hot? humid?

So now that we’ve had several days to go over their 10^th full length album where does everyone feel Abandon Ship belongs amongst Powerman 5000 discography?.
I deliberately excluded True Force, Korea Ep, The Good, the Bad the Ugly & Copies, Clones. That said, if anyone else wants to add them to their own list go ahead!
One last thing to add; Now there is a clear difference for personal favorite or most played, maybe a single carries an album far more than otherwise would be the case, so from my perspective I’m not basing it on how much I have listened but how much I simply enjoy the music as a whole.

• Transphobic video using the word "tr***y"
• Referencing drag queens as clowns
• Doesn't disclose that reviews were really paid ads Edited her body for an Aerie ad, which is a brand that supposedly prides themselves on using real bodies.
• Was blocking and ignoring customers who purchased her Glamlite Paht 2 collection, never received their order, and asked about it. All of this while Glamlite was siphoning stock to CVS and also ignored customer inquiries about their overdue orders.
• Along with CVS, broke their "Beauty Unaltered" pledge by creating a display unit that is obviously filtered of the Trash Goblin’s face.
• Committed fraud by pledging that 50% of the proceeds from the Paht 2 collection would be donated to women's healthcare after the Dobbs decision. When anyone commented to ask about it, they were banned from her socials. This one is the most egregious, as there are people who might have purchased solely based on her pledge. She lied about not getting paid yet to make the donation just as the CVS distribution happened.
• She's myopic and doesn't care about her supporters, as she continually discusses her ED without the common courtesy of a trigger warning like most creators do for subjects like this. Her explanation for why she doesn't give a TW? "It doesn't trigger me, so fuck all of you." She's so disrespectful of Cody's sobriety.
• Does giveaways by making followers jump through engagement hoops to boost her profile but then didn't deliver on the giveaways.
• Begging... BEGGING.. followers on her broadcast channel to drop an emoji as a comment to inflate her engagement rate, as comments are engagement rate gold for getting paid.
• Claims she donates extra product to women's shelters, and then went on Instagram asking for suggestions on where in her area she can donate women's clothes. She's so fucking dense that she either doesn't realize the same places she supposedly donates product to is a good first start, or she outed herself as never donating before like she said she did if she doesn't know where to donate clothes locally.
• She's a terrible brand ambassador, which is on her and DBA. She went on a free Paris trip sponsored by Caudalie, and she shit talked how broken out her skin got on the trip (with the assumption she was using their products and services) and never once really hyped the brand that was paying for her to be there.
• Took money from Briogio for a campaign and at the same time posted videos about her hair falling out. She's so dumb she doesn't realize that she caused a causation comparison.
• She's lying about having clients, paying clients that aren't her friends and family. She is not a MUA or a certified in MA to do makeup.
• She brigades brands who don't do her bidding like a brat. Pottery Barn in the middle of the pandemic had shipping and quality issues. She sent her followers after them and then begged PB for more free stuff.
• She has her friends like HeartofGreg comment on her videos, which she then stiches the comment to review a product. She then takes that video and shops it to the brand to get them to sponsor the video.. and a few weeks later the video resurfaces as partner, paid partnerships, sponsorship.
• Tax fraud when handling gratis, expenses, and giveaways
• Did a giveaway for Chanel bags with Chris Appleton (Color Wow) and the Boston's Children's Hospital, which was against GoFundMe's Terms of Service. She never gave the winners their prize.
• Dogs a brand who sent her free items but then turns around and praises the brand when they pay her (She did it with Essence and KVD).
• Did a bunch of fake "pick out my wedding makeup" when she 100% knew what she was using including the fact that e.l.f. sponsored her wedding as a brand event. She says that's not true, but I can guarantee e.l.f. writes off the expenses they incurred for her wedding as a business expense.
• Lied about her YouTube page being her page. She feverously uploaded videos when she took her 5:19, baby tantrum, pity party break from TikTok but still needed to earn money. She uploaded her TikTok videos to YouTube, lied that it was her channel, and made money. If it wasn't her channel, you know she and DBA would file a cease and desist .. and win it.. to get the channel removed. It's her channel.
• Her filter usage is fraud. Period. There is no debating it. When you are getting paid to review products and apply a filter on your face and body, you are committing fraud. The viewer thinks it's the product making that effect and not really the software engineering team that created the editing app.
• With the PeeeLouish collab, they were caught pre-applying swatches from the P.Louise palette. She's also not really applying makeup in her videos. Cheeks, bronzer, and eyes are being applied off screen and she's swiping a brush making it look like she's applying it. Another sign she can't do professional makeup at all. It's all fake.
• Every ”in the wild” picture that’s not filtered shows the truth.
• She constantly lurks on other creators pages to find commenters to block when they shit talk her. Insecure much? She’ll unblock people to snark them and lurk, then block them again. We know she does this with Rich Lux.
• She supports James Charles. The grifting carnival barker loves the groomer trash.
• Community Contribution: She shits on her estranged half sister to her millions of followers, when all the evidence points to her sister being frozen out of their family at the age of 14. She claims her sister walked out of their lives because she “wasn’t the precious daughter of the family anymore” after Mikayla was born, and also talks badly about her sister for being on disability. Mikayla is an aunt to two girls, but I doubt she’s ever cared nor met them. Her sister also lived and lives right down the road from Mikayla’s parents home.
• She’s a known bully and coming from someone who’s now being regarded as an ED spokesperson. She told her friend that drinking hot chocolate would be “200 very unnecessary calories”, and that she was “just trying to help since you’re trying to lose weight” with that comment. She’s a mean girl, and she always has been.
• She cries about shade range while she brags about being soooo pale (um, really?). She releases collabs that are not inclusive for POC. She then brags about buying out and hoarding darker foundations and concealers to use as bronzers meaning the very little stock available for darker skin tones becomes even more scarce when her idiot stans buy up the product. She also blackfishes.
• She can't admit when she's wrong and aggressively lashes out to those trying to point it out. She called a comb and brush, and when corrected in her comments, she was incredibly rude to her own followers. You know, the people engaging with her content that's paying her mortgage. She is incapable of saying, "oops, my bad." Her integrity is crap for this behavior.
• Just like the above, the unwillingness to admit a simple mistake turned her into an ableist POS. There are those with low vision or no vision who listen to TikToks and rely on accuracy in speech and closed captions. Her "go fuck yourself, bro" attitude when called out about the comb incident made her incredibly ableist.
• She creates rage bait content to generate engagement gold via angry comments. This makes her a carnival barking grifter.
• She begs for engagement on her broadcast channel trying to force things to go viral like "nice and shaaaahhp." It's actually pathetic watching her do this.
• Used a derogatory term used to reference Travelers/Romani people and doubled down on it when people called her out and educated her on the use of the word.
• Lied about creating some Mother's Day shopping spree for a "family in need" saying that when she heard their story, she knew she just had to help. When asked in the comments about the story, she played the, "It's not my story the tell." Come to find out, the story is that the child goes to the school that Mikayla's mom works at. There was a raffle at the school, and one of the prizes was a $500 shopping trip with MikPickMe. The girl's mom paid for 40 entries to win the raffle, and she did. The only reason the shopping was done on Mother's Day was due to conflicting schedules. This was not a shopping spree for a family in need. It was a prize from a raffle that Mikayla's mommy had a hand in.
• MikLieHole took Rael's money and trip and went in days earlier with her emotional support animal, Codypendency, and did meetings with a competitor, Tirtir. Tirtir gifted her a Birkin while in South Korea, too.

Hi, I'm ending my first trip one bagging in South Korea, and the experience has been great so far. The only limitation I have right now is for cosmetic/liquids I've purchased as presents. I have one bottle that's 350ml, but even without it, I wouldn't be able to fit all the purchases into the 1L carry-on liquid allowance bag.
I've purchased a cheap foldable carry-on duffle at Daiso that I'll be using to store my electronics and anything sensitive, and in my actual backpack I'll be packing the souvenirs in with some clothing for extra cushioning.
I'm only wondering if my backpack will be able to stand the abuse of checked luggage? It's a tomtoc 40L. Unfortunately it doesn't have the ability of tucking away the shoulder straps, so I was thinking of grabbing a rain over with buckles and putting it on backwards to cover the shoulder straps (if that makes sense?)
I've seen people say that you can also check in a box, but I think that would be very difficult to move with on the day of the flight, where as I can slip on the raincover before checking it in.
Thoughts?

Hello! I am planning to get a tourist visa from either Bangkok or Chiang Mai. Would y’all recommend booking a round trip ticket to China and back to Chiang Mai or can I just show a one-way ticket? I am actually intending to go from China to Korea.
Also, does anyone know the absolute fastest turnaround option in Bangkok and/or Chiang Mai? (and if you know the cost)

Drodzy socjaliści, robię ten post żebyście spróbowali nas (np socjaldemokratów) przekonać do swoich racji.
Jak byście zdefiniowali socjalizm własnymi słowami? Co sądzicie o takich państwach jak Korea Północna, ZSRR, Chiny, Kuba i czy uważacie je za socjalistyczne? Zapraszam do merytorycznej dyskusji wszystkich.

Prince Harry risks backlash as he announces fresh travel plans despite his eco-credentials

Prince Harry risks infuriating his critics after revealing that he plans to travel more in the coming months.

https://archive.ph/0VPfp
Hands on daddy, eco warrior, private citizen…nothing is as important as grifting
He listed archewell (lol) and ingriftus…no other ‘projects he could have then?
Upon arriving back in California following a three-day visit to Nigeria, Harry has spoke out about how "hugely important" travel is and reveals that he plans to do so more often.

I’ve studied all sorts of branches of conservative Christianity. In my opinion, Calvinism may be one of the worst.
It basically is New Testament pharisaism. Perhaps the most judgmental, strict, legalistic version of Christianity I’ve yet seen.
The church dynamics themselves seem very controlling and fear based. One bad word against you or one wrong thing you say can lead to you public shaming and expulsion.
In some ways the Billy Graham/ Jerry Falwell branch of Christianity seems much gentler and kinder. Christian’s of those stripe would at least claim god loves everyone and wants all to change.
Calvin’s God would never say that and they do think God and Jesus don’t love all and certainly didn’t die for all.
Calvinist families seem abusive too or often are so. I’ve been fascinated with the narrative of breaking ties with your insufferable, controlling, fundie parents.
Of those stories, the most abusive, controlling and damaging parents seem to be Calvinist in orientation. Some peoples accounts of leaving their home almsot remind me of fleeing North Korea in the dead of night.
Do you think Calvinism is the worst? Why or why not?
