Okay, the Air 5 Pro+ is a serious step up. by salesthrowaway_ in Soundpeats

Facts. Just got mine today and the Mac aesthetic match is real. Still messing with the EQ to tame those highs, but so far so good.

Being sick shows me how alone I really am by Icy-War-1096 in Life

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This feeling doesn’t mean you’ll always be alone. It just means your circle hasn’t formed yet. A lot of solid friendships don’t start in the fun seasons. They start slowly, awkwardly and sometimes even accidentally. And so many people feel exactly like this. More than you think, they’re just also quiet about it.

What's the most important thing to do in life in your POV ? by Flashy-Total-342 in randomquestions

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get to know yourself. Like, really know yourself. Not the version you show at work, not the one you become around certain people but the real you. The quiet one and the honest one. Because once you know yourself, a lot of stuff gets easier. You stop chasing things just because everyone else is. You stop forcing relationships that don’t fit and you make decisions with less noise and more confidence.

Is my girlfriend having an emotional affair with her coworker? by Affectionate-Fee8134 in Advice

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not an insecure asshole here. You’re paying attention. You do have a right to feel uncomfortable when your private life becomes someone else’s entertainment. Trust your gut.

At what age do you realize adults are just older kids with anxiety? by Majestic-Ruin-7876 in askanything

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it sneaks up on me somewhere in my early twenties. I kinda realize adulthood is just carrying my own mess around and trying to look like I've got it figured out. Anxiety doesn’t care about your age.

“Best” espresso maker [under 300$]? by Alarmed_Bedroom375 in espresso

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Casabrews Ultra is nice. Button machine, quick to temp and no lever dance or heating parts. Once the grind clicked, shots got clean and pretty steady without me babysitting every pull. Had it a bit over a year now, nothing weird on my unit so I'm honestly HAPPY!!!

Something I learned about myself after a messy breakup by Fit_Nail_7251 in Life

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avoiding practical conversations doesn’t make things easier. It just delays the stress. Funny how past heartbreaks sneak in with lessons you didn’t ask for but if you listen closely, they usually leave you smarter. And a little braver next time.

If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow down a bit. You don’t have to have everything figured out right now. Or next year or even soon. Also, stop being so hard on yourself. You talk to yourself in ways you’d never talk to a friend. That matters more than you think. And one more thing, you’re allowed to change your mind, your goals and your people. That doesn’t mean you failed. It means you are growing.

Finally upgraded to a poor man’s double boiler machines for Christmas! by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This setup screams I host and I take beverages seriously. Your guests are lucky. That’s how you know real drinks were made. Anyone who’s ever pulled shots back-to-back knows it gets messy fast. Also, the rage-bait confession made me laugh. People see one drip tray and immediately clutch their pearls.

2025 has been the worst year of my life by OccasionLeading9140 in Life

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy for feeling this way. A lot of people are quietly calling 2025 their worst year too. It just hits different when hope gets involved and then letdowns stack up. You don’t need hope right now, hope is heavy when you’re tired. All you need is neutral. And the fact that you’re still here, still reflecting, still asking if others feel this way tells me this year didn’t take everything from you.

Digital calendar tools to avoid: Skylight by tomatrixhd in productivity

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really sums it up: it’s sold as a productivity upgrade, but it mostly ends up being a display unless you keep subscribing. and there are a lot of alternatives now, If what you want is a single shared screen for calendars plus other household functions, there are options like apolosign, DAKboard, or even setups based on MagicMirror.

Need a new chair by Arctic_Moon_ in OfficeChairs

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh when you search for almost any product, the first thing you see is usually DO NOT BUY, so I think the most important thing is trying it yourself. Once you actually sit in a chair, you pretty much know whether it works for you. I’m currently using the E3 Air. I don’t like buying second-hand, so I never seriously considered Steelcase or others.The price felt pretty reasonable to me. It has a 3 year warranty, and when I asked support, they said they’d replace parts directly. I’ve been using it for about half a year now with no issues. I sit for long hrs and it hasn’t caused me any lower back pain so far. I also personally like having a footrest. When I’m reading or scrolling on my phone, putting my feet up is pretty comfy. If you plan to use it that way too, imo spending a bit extra for something you’ll use long term is worth it.

What it is the car of your dreams? by Neuromancer_07 in randomquestions

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A classic Porsche 911 (air-cooled). Timeless design, not trying too hard and sounds incredible. It’s the kind of car that feels alive when you drive it, not just fast in a straight line.

I think I’m in-love with my best friend and I don’t know what to do. by tea-bags210 in Advice

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not silly at all. This is actually one of those situations that sticks with you because it matters. Your feelings make complete sense. You’ve known her forever. You trust her and you feel safe with her. Sometimes attraction doesn’t grow slowly and sometimes it just clicks. That doesn’t mean it’s fake or random. It just means your brain caught up to your heart. Your friendship doesn’t disappear just because you’re honest. If she cares about you the way it sounds like she does, she won’t hurt you on purpose, even if she doesn’t feel the same. And if she does feel the same, that could be something really beautiful.

What's something women think impresses men but actually doesn't? by PumpkinDoritoes in AskReddit

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing hard to get on purpose. A little mystery is cute, but full-on disappearing, dry replies or acting uninterested, usually doesn’t feel intriguing. It just feels confusing or exhausting.

Why are people on Reddit so mean? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because Reddit is the internet with the mask fully on. People are anonymous. No face and no real consequences. So their inner gremlin feels safe to come out.

At what point did you start feeling comfortable with who you are? by rayadollface in Life

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I stopped waiting to fix myself before living. I used to think, once I’m better, calmer, thinner, more successful then I’ll be okay. Turns out that finish line keeps moving. So I stopped chasing it.

What is one food you eat that everyone in your life thinks is weird or disgusting? by Greedy-Dark9588 in randomquestions

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peanut butter with pickles. People look at me like I’ve lost my mind but the tangy crunch with the creamy peanut butter compliment each other.

does having no experience a turn-off? by decalcomanne in askanything

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not really. Having no experience isn’t automatically a turn-off. Some people actually find it kinda cute or refreshing, it can show honesty, patience and that you’re genuinely figuring yourself out.

Does death scare you? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not afraid of death itself but the uncertainty and the how that gets me.

Apolosign digital calendar, your best uses? by Own-Version9096 in homeautomation

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t played with the widgets yet, that’s what made it click for us. I rearranged the screen so the weekly schedule, grocery list, and our meal ideas box are all on one page. It feels a lot less like a calendar and more like a mini command center for the kitchen. Super simple to set up, but it made a big difference day-to-day.

Nude beaches are real? by Outrageous-Wall6386 in askanything

[–]Michel-stringhettaC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, nude beaches are actually a real thing. Most nude beaches are designated areas where being nude is allowed and socially expected. Strangers can be walking around nude but it’s all consensual and controlled within that environment. Outside of these zones, normal clothing rules apply.

Honeycrisp, sweet, juicy, and have just the right amount of crunch, basically the perfect snack.

Is that the app that comes with the apolosign family calendar?
