@cendawanita I did not bring China, you completely misunderstood.

As I've said, if the situation was not between Pakistan and India, rather between China and India, the people accusing India online are they still going to accuse India then?

And how can this "Filipino foreign policy concerns" you're concerned about colour _my_ perception? What? Pro-USA and anti-PRC? Or, are you saying I'm pro-India?

1. When India tried to join the coalition against China's encroachment in South China Sea, I was strongly against it. It will only drag us with the India-China issue, and by having India in our region, it will only further escalate the issue with China (which the USA is already escalatiing).

2. I'm anti-communist-China (not the Chinese people, I'm Chinese myself, you can't be anti-self).

3. I'm anti-USA (again, the government, not the people), not because of Trump, but because of all the sins and lies the US government(s) committed against us since the colonial era.

So, what "Filipino foreign policy concerns" is colouring my perception?

Going back.

Will those people calling out India as the one in the wrong in the current Pakistan-India issue do the same if this exact situation was between China-India?

The problem with today's online activism is many are swayed by the loudest narrative without actually gathering all the information first. And as the current Pakistan-India started, information available came from news sources, and yet we see "online handles" actively promoting that India is the one at fault.

But again, are these "online handles" making a loud noise truly honest? Or, are they simply going with the flow? Because again, if this exact situation was between China and India, how would these very same online activists react? Pro-China? Pro-India? How can one trust these accounts if they can't even answer that. If they truly are objective, if they truly have information no one else knows, not even the press, then surely it is easy to answer that question.

Lastly, please, let's not start claiming that South Asia geopolitics is more this and that. No region in the world is more than another when it comes to geopolitics. If we're going to play that game, ASEAN is very diverse.

Confusing? CJK is complicated and confusing. China-Vietnam stems all the way back before the colonial era. The entire Pacific Asian region is deeply rooted in geopolitics since before the colonial era, and those deep issues are still affecting es to this day. Even World War 2 is very confusing for many because there were so many moving pieces. Japan was painted by the Allies as "evil" but once information started to come to light on how things actually unfolded, Japan was not "evil" at all, it was a fabrication of the Allies (most especially the US).

And let's not forget the sins the British Empire and other European nations committed against China. Who actually supplied opium to the Chinese, and how Hong Kong fell to British control.

There are also internal and cross-border issues. The Khmers. The Thais. Singaporeans. Indonesians. The Khmer-Thai issues. The Thai-Viet issues. There's also the Sabah issue between Malaysia and the Philippines (actually it includes Indonesia too but few are aware of that). The "comfort women", that to this day can make or break deals and agreements.

I can go on and on.

Should I say that the Pacific Asian region is more complex, complicated, confusing, diverse, than the South Asian region, or any other region? Of course, NO. Each region is unique. The geopolitical issues in each region developed differently from each other.

No region's geopolitics is "more" than any other. It only appears that way because a person is not aware of the complexity of a region's geopolitics and how far back in time it actually started.

I refuse to play that game.

If you think about it, #scams are a form of business. They don't just start a scam. They study the population. They conduct research and tests. They train people. The hold meetingtos to improve their processes and craft. They probably have documentations too!

Just like any other businesses.

For example. If you want to start scamming Filipinos in the Philippines, you don't want to start a housing scam or a home renovation scam. You also don't want to start a credit card, debit card, bank account, scam/phishing. Not going to work. Oh sure, maybe you'll be able to scam a hundred or so, and that's a very generous figure. Like any other business, you don't start a scamming business that won't produce good and sustainable results.

Yet, home renovation scams are popular in Japan. Card and bank account phishing scams are common in South Korea.

Late road tolls payment is a thing in the US of A.

Are you familiar with "genius and pschopathy are two sides of the same coin"? Yeah, "businesses and scams are two sides of the same coin" too. 😝

And like with some genius and psychopathy folks where they successfully use both sides of the coin, there are also folks who are experts in running a legitimate scamming business, or legitimate businesses scamming people.

They're not easy to spot. They probably hold a Masters Degree in Scamming, I mean, Masters Degree in Business Administration.

#RandomThoughts 🤪

@cendawanita Yes, definitely, especially since it's a different region than ours. But, yeah, it was only a, you could say, "summary", of how I understood it so far, not an "assessment" per se.

Hmm… ahh! It's subjective not objective.

And most especially with №4, I can't help but wonder, what if the murder of foreign tourists on India's side of the border weri traced to have come from China and the incident happened on the China-India border?

After a few weeks, whatever negootiation happened behind-the-scenes, it came down to India attacking the terrorist sites in China's side of the border, and China retaliated. Would the №4 still call India the aggressor? Or, side with them because it's China and everything China is supposedly "evil"?

@cendawanita And the bottomline is, there isn't enough information, so why is it things reached №4 already? From credible and unbias news sources, they are reporting both sides.

And yes, of course Pakistan is not responsible. Terrorist groups are the enemies of the State their hideouts are located. We don't know if India tried to work with Pakistan, through official and back channels. We don't know if India warned them that they will strike what they believed to be the location of those terrorists, and if those intel were also provided by Pakistan.

It could very well be that Pakistan tried to resolve it but failed, and India had enough of the delays. Maybe India requested to have their special forces take out those terrorists, but understandably Pakistan refused.

In the end, India chose an excessive action. To hit the known location of the terrorists. And Pakistan considered it an act of war (obviously). But what's №4 doing? Do they know something the press is not reporting hence the one-sided judgement?

Thunderstorm in the middle of the Summer season! Hooray!

But it only lasted 10 minutes. I guess it's not yet the start of the thunderstorm season.

A few more weeks everyone. We can endure this heat!

#Philippines @pilipinas @philippines

The Vatican Conclave has started. Are most Cardinals going to choose the Filipino Cardinal Tagle?

If they do, it means they want to go back to their roots.

Philippine Roman Catholicism is still pretty much the same as it was back in the Spanish colonial era, after all, they occupied the archipelago for 300 years! It is also known as the only country still deeply rooted in the "old"/"past" Roman Catholicsm.

If you live here in the #Philippines, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines ("CBCP") is very active in the political arena. They actively oppose same-sex marriage and anything LGBTQ related. They actively block anything related to abortion and divorce. And a lot of other sensitive and/or big topics/issues.

But, who knows?

If Cardinal Tagle becomes the next Pope, his era will be very interesting. Is he going to restore the traditions of Roman Catholicism (which is what the CBCP is probably going to expect) or will he bring in changes to Philippine Roman Catholicism (especially since he's a friend to LGBTQ people)?

The way I understood it:

1. terrorist groups in Pakistan killed civilians in the India-controlled side of the border

2. India retaliated by hitting known sites of those terrorists

3. Pakistan hit back because they saw it as an act of war

4. Keyboard warriors are blaming India for starting a war

Anyway…

@FaithinBones Yep. And they now have this gadget to easily hack into the towers and use a betwork exclusive number (3-4 digits only) usually rented to companies for their SMS features. We can no longer trust those as well. *sigh*

We need SMS 2.0 or something.

@FaithinBones Just block it. There's nothing that can be done with it, they don't even operate here in the #Philippines.

To give context, we get scam SMS from US numbers. It's about how we have an undelivered USPS package and we should pay for it so it can be shipped. 🤣

Another scam we receive here in the Philippines using US numbers: a US soldier depliyed in Afghanistan will soon be discharged, and they're planning on migrating here in the country. They are not looking for a house, they are looking for a home because they want to marry a Filipino. 😝

Sadly, a lot of people fall for that … because many Filipinos are hopeless romantics. 😅

But they can't be stopped because they're not operating in the US nor in Afghanistan.

None of these spammers and scammers operate in the country their mobile numbers came from. On the contrary, they usually operate in the country of their targets.

Trust us, we've been dealing with SMS spams and scams for 10 years now. We've seen numbers from EU nations too! 😂

@EllenInEdmonton Exactly! In the Korean culture especially, it's heavily man-centric and paternalistic. To see these changes in K-drama means they can no longer ignore it. And yes, OB/GYN as the focus is new in dramas. Even in Western dramas, it's often ER, OR, Neurology, Psychology, General.

@Cattz @CatsWhoCode @PatternChaser @unixorn @autism @actuallyautistic @autistics

Wow, wth! They seriously want to come up with silly conclusions so they can start more non-sense projects. It'll probably be used for money laundering too, and when people starts to question them, they'll show some "data" with non-sense conclusions to cover up what they're actually using it for.

T_T

@CatsWhoCode @unixorn @autism @actuallyautistic @autistics

Ahh! Yes, that's an important thing to consider. Choose safety and happiness. If an on-record DX won't provide a more positive outcome than what you already have, it's usually best not to put it on-record, or not at all if you're perfectly cool with self-dx.

You're correct, there's that "fire" to stand up for others as well. I experienced it during the premiere of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I didn't plan to go public about it, but after watching the first two episodes, I was like, "It's time to stand up". It was an inspiration for me to be Openly Autistic. I started online, not giving much face. Then started to be open about it offline too after I was interviewed in a Korean magazine (Sports Seoul) and Korean global news (Arirang). Now there's a face. 😅

I'm not saying you should do the same, but yeah, that fire inside us is strong. For me personally, I chose to stand up for others because I knew many can't, at least not publicly, and they have valid reasons why they can't be openly autistic.

And yes, we're not martyrs. We help were we can, and we know our limits. But together, we're making a difference for everyone. 🖖🏽
