Employment, not education – 6th year of ascent to practicality and reality

Image
Decent employment is a better solution to chronic poverty than "higher studies"  Hello good morning! As I am in my sixth year of practicality and realism on life matters, I prefer decent work opportunities to completing any college or university courses. The education system, from primary to postgraduate levels, should be overhauled from the start. Those too many lessons that have little meaning in life should be replaced with fewer but higher-quality lessons. Instead of starting at 7 AM, primary and secondary schools should start classes at 10 AM and not extend school time beyond 4 PM. Rather than 5 days, the school week should be up to 3 days because most students have outstanding issues outside school. Assignments or homework should be abolished (or outlawed) because that only gives students extra blanks to fulfill and exacerbates health issues, and most students inevitably have outstanding (and ...

Choosing Converge and Dito

Image
Fiber Internet is the most reliable data transmission method for data-hungry activities, such as gaming or livestreaming In November 2024, I bought a Dito Home Wi-Fi modem via Shopee. On November 25, 2024, I activated the Dito SIM via registration. The Dito modem is an LTE-enabled device that broadcasts 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. I chose Dito because Globe and PLDT/Smart are overcrowded. As the Wi-Fi unit is LTE-only and doesn't support 5G, there are two prepaid subscriptions, a ₱180 weekly subscription giving 30 GB and a ₱480 monthly subscription giving 50 GB. Aside from residential Wi-Fi, I use Dito as primary calling and texting network; I only use Globe and PLDT/Smart when I visit areas with zero Dito coverage. Dito is high tech in the way that its 4G/LTE infrastructure natively supports voice calls and video calls, while its 5G/NR infrastructure operates independently of LTE. On Dito LTE, you can make high-definition calls and eve...

Completing Tears of the Kingdom

See also the Legend of Zelda service and its implications and materialism is metaphysical nationalism On January 1, 2025, I completed the main story of the Nintendo Switch video game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom . Defeating Ganon/Ganondorf is a monunental task for anyone who plays Zelda games. Right after the completion of the "main quests" list of the game, I was at 66% completion. Here were a few statistics of the playable character Link before the final boss battle— 30 hearts 3 stamina wheels Hylian armor set, 3 stars, 36 defense Soldier armor set, 3 stars, 54 defense Champions's leathers, 3 stars, 22 defense Royal shields of at least 55 defense Royal bows of at least 38 offense 10 ancient blades Fused weapons of at least 40 offense 10 sunny meals, at least 3 recovered hearts 5 high-level defense meals The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a video game curated by Nintendo trough the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Moving to DITO is a wise decision

In November 2024, we have decided not to continue subscribing to the fiber-optic Wi-Fi services of 2 different providers; DataConnect (then DCTech) and PLDT. The reason was that fiber-optic Internet is rife with financial corruption: charging excessively while their services have substandard quality. Since then, we fully returned to 4G/Long-Term Evolution as our primary method of connecting worldwide. I bought a 4G-based DITO prepaid Wi-Fi device via Shopee. That unit costs ₱980, so I reserved ₱1,000 to pay for the unit. I chose the DITO Wi-Fi device because the DITO mobile network is mostly free space, which means swifter downloads. On my mobile phone, DITO's download speed is up to 50 Mbps when conducted outdoors. Another reason for choosing DITO as the Wi-Fi choice is to decongest GLOBE and PLDT; given that GLOBE and PLDT are overcrowded, of course, the stress relief of their networks is overdue. GLOBE and PLDT remain notorious for their unstable Internet. Wherever you see a DI...

On the departure of Song Jae-rim: the November 12 event

Image
The Song Jae-rim November 12 event indicates that Korean society should lower many expectations and standards On November 12, 2024, in South Korea, the government confirmed that Song Jae-rim left this universe. At age 39, such an early death would be a bit suspicious in a developed country. With the addition of "no signs of foul play," you can guess the best what really happened to Jae-rim. As Jae-rim was a famous person, expect millions of billions of people around the world to cry upon perceiving a sense of loss. In a similar incident, in Argentina, a certain Liam Payne left this universe; again, no signs of foul play. There is a common operation behind the departures of these famous people: suicide. Seeing no hope of a more relaxed future, many South Korean artists left this universe via suicide, including Sulli and Moonbin. Rigid expectations, active rejection of imperfections, and viewing life as a competition—dancing together—contribute to South Korea having some of t...

Loneliness is the future I can most readily consider

Image
Your environment ultimately decides your future Having no concrete dreams, especially since March 2020, compounded with having no friends since that date, I am a loner. Since I have no job and there is no hope of ever finding one, my safest conclusion is that I would grow old a hikikomori and complete my life poor. As I live in a poor locality and there is no possibility of moving to a more progressive one, the easiest future I can imagine is to look degraded in the eyes of others. It's OK when I also appear degraded in your views. I'm aware of it, but I can do nothing about it. Thanks to the Wuhan virus scandal, I took the chance to achieve a degree of genuine sense of choice in March 2020. College education is useless to the 21st-century workforce, whose requirements demand lessons from the street rather than from the classroom. How I act and behave since my ascent to practical reality (March 2020) is the result of a failed education system that has no lessons about how to...

Oppa and maknae in nonstandard politics

Image
The oppa is a governing body or political organization that benefits, guides, serves, or directs another body or organization from a completely different political universe, the maknae . The sovereign state is the primary oppa meaning that it supervises, provides a platform, or exerts authority over all other political entities of other universes, and no such other polity is expected to look after it. Many political entities other than the sovereign state may serve as oppa, depending on the surrounding conditions and demands. Conversely, many political entities may become maknae; reasons may include protection of existence, the need to learn more about the basics of leadership, or that the entity concerned is not designed to act by itself. Since the 1900s, the United States of America has been humanity's apex oppa, the sole superpower in the governmental universe since December 1991. As the apex oppa, no other political organization is expected to solidly challenge or contain its ...
