Too bad the Knicks couldn't pull off the same comeback in the earlier game. Gg Pacers and Timberwolves!

Filipinos are bringing up a clip of an episode of an old American syndicated nontraditional court show where a man got a tattoo on his forehead after falling for a prank on April Fools’ Day.

This was resurfaced after Taragis, a Pampanga-based takoyaki food brand, gained traction for challenging its followers on Facebook to have its logo tattooed on their foreheads for P100,000.

In the now-deleted viral post, the brand announced that the first individual who would send a picture of their tattooed forehead will win the supposed cash prize.

The post was uploaded on April 1, the same date the global community observes the annual day of jokes and pranks.

Taragis also wrote the following text in its graphic: “Click the photo for official rules.”

Clicking the photo accompanying its Facebook post reveals a full version of the graphic with a colorful text below, which reads: “April Fool’s.”

Basically, someone actually followed through with the "challenge" and had his forehead tattooed 😢

Hopefully the home crowd can help boost our team's chances to win their first game in the qualifiers 🙏🏼

Sorry this took later than usual, I'm currently on the road (or sea, technically speaking) and will be having limited internet connectivity for a week

@rezz was banned from the instance more than a week ago, as I explained here. I've only logged back to Lemmy.world that day, which is why it wasn't detected sooner.

~~Now that his account's been reinstated, I'm calling for assistance from my fellow mods to bring him back to the team (I don't know how 🥲 )~~

I figured out how, thanks to this doc. Welcome back again, @rezz! 🥳 🎉

I had to make this post manually because @rezz, the mod who routinely posts this, has been banned from the instance 6 days ago by a new Lemmy.world admin. It was because his posts contained links to NBA streams, which are now prohibited in the instance.

Any thoughts, fellow c/NBA visitors and mods? @Hurts @VodkaSolution @Alchemy @OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca @RandAlThor@lemmy.ca @cavsfan

Rising costs din siguro on even trying to have a successful pregnancy.

Personal anecdote: 2 years ago, my wife and I tried to conceive a child twice and were unsuccessful both times. We found out she has a blood condition called APAS (Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome) which causes the mother’s body to reject the baby. Consultations and treatment from medical specialists are really expensive, so we’ve decided not to try again until our budget can afford all those medical needs.

More context:

"It is now up to the National Telecommunications Commission whether they will act on it," Pimentel noted.

House probes SMNI for Romualdez travel budget claims

He added that there is already a bill that is being passed to revoke the franchise of SMNI.

"Based on the two hearings I attended we have evidence proving that they violated several sections of their franchise and it is a ground we have every reason to revoke the franchise," he said.

SMNI, a media company allied with former President Rodrigo Duterte, is facing a congressional inquiry for allegedly spreading lies about House Speaker Martin Romualdez's travel expenses, which allegedly reached P1.8 billion in just one year.

Pimentel said SMNI is also facing complaints for red-tagging personalities including former Vice-President Leni Robredo.

I strongly believe the people on column B are the same who complained and disagreed with the sub shutdown/boycott last June because they don’t want the mods to decide for them, and the API changes do not directly affect their site experience.

Bunch of grandstanding, disingenuous hypocrites.

You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Thank you for keeping the PH community alive here on lemmy kahit di malakas ang engagement. I’m considering using this same format sa communities na minomod ko, kasi basically 0 engagement din sa kanila

Just caught the end of this match as I waited for the Mavs-Spurs game. Wow, pretty good debut by Porzingis with 30 points
