How do you feel about paying taxes? #Polls #Taxes #Survey #InternalRevenue #Finance #Money #Poll [ ] I'm happy to pay taxes [ ] I want to avoid taxes but I don't know how [ ] I want to avoid taxes but I can't [ ] I'm actively trying to avoid taxes

(⚫) I would be happy to pay taxes if I saw that they were spent correctly and not in the pockets of corrupt politicians.

The reliance of banks in the #Philippines on the least secure OTPβ€”SMSβ€”makes me wonder how one can login, send money, or make payments, if you happen to be abroad. Forced to enable roaming and pay extra? πŸ€”

I am maintaining my πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ phone plan just to receive OTP via SMS.

Merry Christmas! I miss this crew that I’ve been a part of (a few times).

Finding a book to read that fits your current mood or need is much easier than finding something you want to watch on Netflix.

I don’t see a mistake here.

A photo from lockdown. My pandemic buzzcut. Days of rage and doomscrolling. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

A photo from lockdown.

The quarantine hair I kept before I felt safe to face the world.

It's been DuckDuckGo for me for a while now. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I’ve also been using Duck Duck Go’s browser for my mobile devices.

The new lower decks comic just started a few weeks ago

I am aware. Most stories in Star Trek tie-in media (when the parent series as still in production) resets back to the status quo on the final page. I was hoping for a relaunch approach. Like the old novel-verse or the current Star Trek on-going comic series.

Attached: 1 image KWF Diksiyonaryo has yet again released an update, this time, an obviously half-baked unfinished site with a hideous design. Honestly, given the chance, I'll redesign this for them for free as long as my name is plastered on their social media accounts 😭

Finally! We can now link to individual entries in that dictionary. This can help me with my work on Tagalog Wikipedia.

Kobo Libra Colour has physical page turn buttons and is repairable. If you buy fully into the β€œChina is your enemy” narrative then perhaps not ideal, but otherwise I’ve found mine excellent.

I am looking into Kobo readers as well. But not until my current Kindle Paperwhite breaks down.
