Why would it be better? I like how it puts some useful information up there. What would be the benefit of going back to black?
I like getting a new phone every year even though it’s objectively a poor way to spend money.I don’t do it every year because sometimes it seems pointless.
I feel like if the 14 Pro>15 is as small as the 14 was a yoy upgrade and they hike the price seems like a wait it out year.
I only got a 14 pro max because the old phone had something wrong with it and when I first saw the Dynamic island I was like eh that’s neat but so what. And when they were talking about live updates people kept coming back to sports scores as what it could do but I don’t really watch much sports so I sort of yawned.
Now that it’s been out for a bit food delivery and running apps have done some nice touches so that I always have quick access to timing information. I’ve wanted them to put Nike Run Club stats on my Lock Screen forever. The other one I love is it tells me how long till my food delivery gets here in Uber.
Anyone else have any apps that this improved quality of life for?
I mean in the completely unscientific survey of my life and socials a lot of people seem very excited for this movie.
Which is weird considering how the fediverse is paid for at the moment appears to mostly be people paying out of their own pockets.
As far as we know from the sbelter she’s just an American short hair, but she does resemble one. Her littermate sister otoh look’s completely different.
We’ve never done the genetic testing thing because well it’s expensive and we don’t really care enough to spend money on it.
I feel like this is the best money in streaming. I mostly watch you tube, and primarily on the tv and phone in the app. Frankly I would prefer to have much more of the internet paid for with you know money instead of ads and not use a blocker.
You tube music also has a much better algorithmic playlist than Apple Music.
Not going to lie she’s totally a spoiled princess.
I feel like it got buried by releasing on the same day as Midnights but the vibe of The Loneliest Time by Carly Rae Jepsen has a rather similar vibe to Taylor's and in fact her whole song writing career probably would appeal to a lot of Taylor fans. Especially the Emotion, Dedicated albums and The Loneliest Time.
I clicked on Why and immediately remembered it and that I loved it at some point in the past. But the title is so nondescript that I didn't remember it at all.

You Tube played this for me today. Got to say it struck me as a pretty beautiful song.

This song is growing on me. I first heard it last night, but then the lyric video came back up in my feed and it stuck more the second time.
A rolling list of our favorite albums of the year, updated somewhat frequently.

I’ve only listened to a few of these this year, but the ones I have listened to on here have been great. L I’ve been in the mood for new music lately so I’ve got a lot of suggestions here.
What’s a new album you’ve been jamming out to this year? Outside of last years Taylor and CRJ albums Lana Del Rey’s Did you know there’s a tunnel under ocean Blvd. is probably my most listened to 23 album.
The funny thing is I've kind of gone full circle and I'm back to reading more pop criticism. And I kind of suspect if I just said fuck it and bought CDs and ripped them myself Amazon would do better than any of these streaming services. I get pretty okay book recs from them.
So Apple Music knows all kinds of data about my listening habits. So like I genuinely don’t understand why when I opened the app this morning it wasn’t like hit ok to stream the new Taylor Swift album. I had to like click around for a second. No big deal In the grand scheme of it.
Like I feel like I have pretty predictable tastes I listen to mostly albums by a small number of song writers in a few styles but for some reason it’s very hit and miss and single driven even if that’s not a match for the way I listen to music. IT’s algorithmic radio isn’t bad but for having 20 years of data it seems pretty mediocre.
It’s always bothered me that she blames what’s her name and not Joe Jonas. It seemed like he left, performs better dissing Taylor and talking about how his new girl is better and then Taylor yells at new girl.
But also this song slaps and is a bop.
This inspired me to make a completely different Sesame Tofu for dinner tonight.
It turned out really fucking good for a meal I made wholly by the seat of my pants.

I’m not much of a recipe person but I mixed sesame oil with tamari and about 2 Tablespoon peanut butter. Put on some air fried tofu and snap peas and garlic.
I use outlook on the iPhone and the gmail and outlook websites on my desktop.
Outlook does a good job of presorting my mail so I’m not bombarded with all the read at your leisure emails.
(including ones that aren’t Indian!). My stepmom is Chinese and the first time I cooked something for my dad and her she was almost offended if I asked if they had ginger. She was like never ask a Chinese person if they have ginger just ask where's the ginger.
I hate to admit it but from an amoral point of view this seems to be something Trump really showed that shamelessness is a virtue in politics. Never apologize just keep plowing forward with whatever your bullshit is seems to be for the most part the way to go especially on a right-wing group. Left wing groups have to deal with more diversity and you probably can knock some support off that way, whereas RW groups are hurt by the apology more than the outrage.
I'm genuinely unsure because I wasn't persuaded to try to stop eating meat until someone came along and presented as something good for me in a persuasive way. All the extremists ever did was force me into a corner where I'd strike back out at them and not really give a fuck.
It doesn’t seem completely crazy to me that it would be better for money to go to successful projects than just be sprayed like a fire hose in hope that you land a Facebook or Google sized moonshot.
Of course it sucks for the people that lose their job, but presumably that money should go towards sustainably growing things where they could work.
