I haven’t had any issues with the infotainment system in my Ioniq 5. I turn the car on, it boots straight into Android Auto, turns on my music automatically, and displays my GPS. What more do you need?

Excuse me, just one question: What the fuck?

Yes, please make another party that will split Republicans. This is a win.

Pretty good. Work is a bit much but I started dating again and met a really nice guy.

I was not orphaned but was homeless at 18 due to escaping an abusive environment. I’ve gone through my adult life with no safety blanket and it has profoundly impacted my anxiety and need for control. I’ve managed to build a great life and I’m very successful on paper, but people don’t see the backup plans upon backup plans that I have in-place to have some sort of feeling of safety.

I’ve also found it very hard to relate to people my age because they usually have some sort of relationship with their family and often times move back in with parents when shit hits the fan.

I also still feel very unloveable by everyone around me and I’m suspicious whenever someone shows affection, because it feels like a trick - or even if it does feel legitimate, I know that they’ll hurt me eventually. That’s been a big topic in therapy recently.

In 2026, Xbox users who wish to use voice or text communication with those outside of their friends list to verify their age.

The silver lining is that we’ll no longer have to hear little kids screaming into their mics in online games.

If it’s any consolation, I’m in an 8-unit owner-occupied condo rn and my kitchen ceiling collapsed last week because the HOA refused to fix a roof leak for almost two years. So now what should have been a couple hundred dollar roof patch is thousands of dollars coming out of my HOA payments.

It’s really interesting that rent can only raise by a small amount each year there. I’m rolling around in my head whether that would work in the US. What happens when the assessed value of the property raises over the years and causes the taxes to skyrocket? Do the landlords just sell the place in that case? I could see that being a good way to keep the market moving and give people a chance to enter owner-occupied homeownership.

Any love out there for ReBoot? Absolutely revolutionary show and it ended on a cliffhanger.

Short-form video is destroying attention spans and critical thinking skills. The level of brainrot I see in people who are hooked on Tiktok or other platforms is staggering. “I saw 500 10-second videos about this topic and now believe it with every ounce of my being, because the algorithm specifically pushes this particular point of view.” seems to be a common occurrence these days.

Keep trying. For science.

Personally I find pirated games to be a bit of a pain to install on the Deck. I’d go with Windows for that use case.

Not gonna lie, I had no idea until this post that “mansplaining” was strictly considered male behavior. I’ve had women do the same thing when I’m in spaces or situations that are traditionally female dominated, and figured that “mansplaining” was the appropriate descriptor for that. TIL.

I misread this as “Jennifer Lopez” and was deeply impressed that a celebrity singer/actress had such incredible cooking skills.

Strong disagree. You can absolutely be friendly with coworkers and enjoy working with them without crossing the boundary into your personal life, and this is usually the best for long-term happiness at work. This is especially beneficial whenever people change roles and move to management - it’s exceptionally difficult to be a manager to a friend.

Any company culture that expects you to be friends with your coworkers is a dumpster fire. Run quickly.

I’ve worked in my current office for two years and don’t know the first thing about any of my coworkers beyond their name and specialization. No clue if they’re married or have kids, or what they do on the weekend. We never chit-chat. I am infinitely happier here than anywhere I’ve worked in the past.

I been there. The StopDrinking community is here when you’re ready!

Hear me out: Not drinking at all and smoking weed instead

I like to burn movies and shows to play on my CRT. It feels a bit more authentic than streaming.
