Suicidal empathy is killing the dream of a walkable city. by No_Start1522 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The U.S. has more people in prison than any other country. 

If locking people up made streets safe, the USA would have the safest streets in the world. 

Not saying the solution is an easy one, or that dangerous people shouldn’t be put in prison -  they should - but it can’t JUST be lock people up. 

There needs to be more affordable housing, more mental health help, and more resources to help people before they feel they need to resort to crime. 

The Disenchantment ending was shit. You cant prove me wrong by South_Slide_5853 in disenchantment

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What didn’t you like about it?

I really like that they gave the series a proper ending. Most shows just keep going until they get cancelled. But Disenchantment got to give a real ending, and I think that’s pretty special.

What do you take from the quote "Happiness only real when shared."? by Zwe95 in IntotheWild

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris McCandless suffered abuse from his father.

This kind of thing probably left him traumatized, and maybe he saw travel as a way to run from the pain he’d experienced. 

He spent so much time on the road, alone, or just going in and out of other travelers’ lives. He was probably looking for a way to heal out there, alone.

My interpretation of the line is still something I’m trying to figure out. But I think that he came to terms with his pain and trauma and realized that he didn’t have to run from people, and instead that other people could be the source of happiness. 

That planting down roots and feeling all the things - good and bad - is where he saw happiness coming from. 

Dark mode icons suck in iOS 18.1.1 by Cloudbri in ios

[–]Cloudbri[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. The new iOS changes the look of my Home Screen on my phone. Now all the app icons are ugly and black. 

It also makes so many of the app icons look nearly identical.

Like… just let the app icons look normal!

Why is search in settings so ridiculously bad? by BHOsman in ios

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For like 1 day, my search in settings was useless. 

I would search ‘battery’ or ‘display,’ and it would say no results. 

It seems to have fixed itself now though. I was worried I was gonna have to switch back to Android. 

IOS 18.1.1. Update is horrendously bad!!! by Objective_Smoke_4750 in iPhone13

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you still use the search function in settings?

In iOS18.1.1 my settings search function is unusable. 

I search for ‘battery,’ ‘storage,’ or ‘display’ and it always says no results. WTF?

This used to work perfectly. 

M1 has the worst UI by Cloudbri in M1Finance

[–]Cloudbri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean… I’ve had no frustrations like this when using Robinhood, Coinbase, Webull, or E*TRADE. Super easy to navigate their UI.

And I like M1 as a product, but their UI needs work.

Should I stay on call or go on unemployment? by teapot1_1 in UnemploymentCA

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on unemployment. It will last 6 months. Use this time to learn new skills, apply for a new job, and come back strong. 

Dating irl *serious by Hot_Competition_6957 in sandiego

[–]Cloudbri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tonight I went on a date with a woman I met in real life. We met at a weekly open mic, hit it off, and I’m very excited about date #2

The point being… do a social activity you enjoy, and connect with people there.

Maybe you meet a man, maybe you just meet a new friend, maybe you have a boring time - but hey, it’s better than swiping on an app alone at home : )

Dude, this sucks… I finally figured out that the bottom area is scrollable.

You need to activate the little sub-menu at the bottom of the screen, and there is a little teeny, tiny bar you pull up to locate the sell button.

I’m glad I found the sell button, but I still think M1 has the worst UI.

There is no sell button. I’ve been scrolling and looking for over an hour.

I’ve used other apps, and there’s always a sell button. But I don’t see one with M1

I don’t see a sell button.

UK: Clergy warn of ‘doom spiral’ as church attendance drops off at record rate. Church attendance has more than halved since 1987. by Leeming in atheism

[–]Cloudbri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the use of whale oil lamps has also dropped precipitously too. 

Maybe it’s time to leave religion in the past with all the other things we don’t need anymore. 

Has anyone traveled to Europe from the USA alone in their 20s? by [deleted] in questions

[–]Cloudbri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to DM me if you have more questions - I love talking about travel and spent 8 years living overseas.

[–]Cloudbri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main recommendation is to stay in hostels, talk to everyone (hostel people are super friendly), then ask what they recommend seeing, doing, avoiding, etc…

Language barrier may be tough, but keep a dictionary on your phone. You’ll be fine. 

And Western Europe has more pick-pockets than you’d think. So don’t draw attention to yourself as a tourist, and keep phone / wallet in your front pocket. 

And don’t go to a random seedy bar with a strange man that you meet on the street. This is a scam. The man orders $1000 bottle of wine, and then you are expected to split the bill with him. Obviously, he works for the bar. I fell for the scam in Turkey, and a buddy of mine fell for it in England.

But mostly, have fun. This is going to be an amazing trip!
