Really? The sound is horrible...
  • Quality of headphones/speakers makes a much much bigger difference than the file type/quality.

    I'll take Spotify w/good headphones over Lossless with phone speakers anyday

  • Really? The sound is horrible...
  • You can get USB C to headphone jack dongles super cheap. Bluetooth earbuds are also cheap these days. Not really a good excuse

  • I am a Millionaire. Tax Me More, Please.
  • I feel like a lot of people retire with much much less than "millions". Might not be a super comfortable retirement but, def doable.

  • What's a poorly received movie that you liked?
  • Jennifer's Body is pretty underrated, was marketed very poorly unfortunately

  • What's a game you've played that you're surprised isn't really popular?
  • I'm not familiar with Open Arena so hard for my to say a lot, but QC def feels way more modern than the other Quake's in a way I appreciate a lot.

    The graphics, audio, cosmetics, etc are all awesome. SyncError is also an excellent map designer and I love the maps he releases

  • The BBC is launching a paywall in the US
  • Well to be fair, a perpetual license for media/news wouldn't make sense

  • What's a game you've played that you're surprised isn't really popular?
  • Quake Champions is pretty great, surprised it's not at least a little bigger

  • Hangry O'Clock
  • I wish I found this relatable, I struggle to limit my eating

  • Ontario city pauses speed cameras after 32K tickets handed out in 3 weeks
  • You say it sounds good, yet you're advocating for the exact opposite design principles 🤔

    And as I'm sure you're aware, Montreal isn't in Europe lol but it's pretty great

  • Ontario city pauses speed cameras after 32K tickets handed out in 3 weeks
  • So no example of a city that has successfully implemented all these ideas and was better for it?

    Because there's lots of cities that have successfully done mostly the opposite and are better for it (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Montreal, Paris, Bergen, Oulu, etc)

  • Ontario city pauses speed cameras after 32K tickets handed out in 3 weeks
  • Ticketing distracted pedestrians? What kinda garbage city do you wanna live in lmao

    Out of curiosity, what do you view as a well designed city that would be a good example of what you want to see more of

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Almost everyone I know chooses to not learn some random common skill. Not sure it's typically reasonable to call it "learned helplessness"

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Depends where you live. I have friends who aren't comfortable driving, so hence never drive.

    Nothing wrong with that, better than accidentally killing someone someday.

    But if you live somewhere without decent public transit and/or cycling infrastructure, you may not have a choice :/

  • What’s an unspoken rule that absolutely everyone should know, but most people clearly don’t?
  • It's a written rule, but where I live no one seems to pay any attention to it.

  • Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant cars should stay out of the pedestrian crosswalk. Editted

  • When waiting at a red light, cars are supposed to stay out of the pedestrian crosswalk

  • Should I stop using Telegram?
  • Yes, but it's not open source and it's Meta so I don't have a lot of trust there. Plus you can always just activate the Secret Chat feature on Telegram for E2E encryption that I'd just more than WhatsApp's.

  • Should I stop using Telegram?
  • I'd take Telegram over WhatsApp as I find Telegram, ignoring privacy concerns, is an excellent messenger. Much better than WhatsApp

    But, Signal's pretty great.

  • Why do, relatively, so few of you set an avatar for your profile?
  • Anyone know if there's a way to see avatar's through Voyager?

  • I got a new cuddly lil friend

    Got her as a rescue, she's an absolute cutie. A little timid but, sweet and cuddly.

    I'm getting her some ratty friends very soon, but for now I'm just giving her excessive amounts of attention and lots of snacks

    If anyone can link the original source/creator that'd be rad, can't remember where I saved it from

    lfpress.com Has city hall already outgrown its own blueprint for growth, the London Plan?

    The growth of London is happening so fast, the city's population has hit its own estimate for 2031 seven years early. That's prompting some within city hall to push for more review of the municipality's blueprint for growth.

    I'm not super knowledgable on this topic so unsure how to fix (if possible to fix)

    Is the touchpad being more sunken on one side normal?

    The right edge of my trackpad is physically higher lifted than the left edge which feels quite sunken.

    This normal, do y'all have this?

    Do you really need to do dedicated 'leg' or 'arm' days?

    I've been going to the gym for a few months, still feel like a noob tho.

    I track what exercises I do, weight & reps, etc, and try to rotate between the different exercises I enjoy.

    However I don't do leg-centric days or anything like that, I just try and do a variety each week and not go too long without exercising specific areas. Is that bad?
