Gintama is always a fun watch

At that point legality doesn't really matter. This is just how "traditional" Philippine politicians are, especially the powerful dynasties in the provinces. Duterte is one of the worst, but he's certainly not the only one here.

So this is part of the reason why the ICC arrest is very much important to us (not everyone, since the guy has a huge following, sadly). He will never be prosecuted here. The hope is that an outside enforcer will properly prosecute and actually lock him and his cronies up for good.

Comment by apt is right. There have also been numerous cases where teens were killed for no reason and put under the war on drugs killings.

These happened while he was president. But he was a long-time mayor of Davao City, where he had a death squad. I assume I don't have to outline the implications of a mayor having his own death squad.

Filipino here. For some of us, this is a huge step towards justice for the victims of the killings when he was in power. We can't really expect the PHL govt to do something like this given how sketchy it is, so to some people the ICC is the only hope.

He brags about many crimes then says he never did anything whenever convenient.

My work uses a web-based interface that's very annoying to use on Firefox. I'm unfortunately tied to Chrome in the meantime, so uBlock lite is a lifesaver.

Damn no one wants a trump salad

Shit like this just screams "bad company" to an applicant. Especially since some companies are always hiring because of tax breaks and other shady benefits, not because of actual openings. Such a waste.

The biggest winners of this US elections are the corporations

They got gigs by connections! Same is still true today. Personal connections get you the gig.

But in the before times, no one had social media. Nowadays everyone has it and is almost a necessity for a musician to get their voice and music out there. You're losing out if you don't have a "portfolio" through your socmed accounts.

Copying from my comment below for context:

Job openings like these are messing things up for creatives who specialize in one area.

Now everyone looks for video editors who do audio. No more jobs for sound guys.

If you do graphic design, you are now expected to do animation and web design as well. Some even want you to do social media and video.

People who post things like these only want to save a buck. Heck that's why they outsource the jobs in say the Philippines and India. They don't want to pay their local rates.

And some Asian folks like this too because the going rate is higher than local rate here.

But it's literally ruining the livelihood of people in other fields.
