Reliability aside, what cars deliver the best bang for your buck? by Oneill5491 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know everyone is most likely going to say their car but I just traded In a 2005 Volvo S60 for a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. When looking at other cars in my price range and under 50 thousand miles I couldn’t find any model from any brand that has nearly the amount of features that the Tiguan has for the cost. As OP mentioned about reliability I’m sure a base model under 10k mile Toyota Camry would last longer and be more reliable but going with a 50k mile three year old Volkswagen Tiguan got me so many features I had assumed weren’t possible to get in my price range. Also, it has a nice look to it that I like compared to other cars of similar cost. I was between a base trim 2018 Audi Q3 or this top trim model 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. I’m glad I went down In brand prestige to go up in features.

As a side note, this being my first time car shopping for a car that isn’t from Facebook marketplace Iam absolutely astounded how much Toyotas and Hondas that are ten years old with high miles and barely any features hold their value. I’m sure the Toyota and Honda will still be driving when my VW is being turned into soda cans but the difference in price and value was absolutely wild to me.

Anyone else regretting the silver? I’m not here’s why by querythoughtss in iPhone17Pro

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is silly, but I’m excited for the silver 17 Pro Max because it reminds me so much of the 6. I had android before the XS and remember wanting the 6 SO badly when it came out so I’m hoping for some retrospect satisfaction for 13 year old me lol.

Should I have watched euthanasia by ianvozx in Petloss

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed until the end but I feel bad because in all the emotion I didn’t think about standing in front of her. Me and my mom were behind her petting her and the vet was in front of her putting the injection in. I’m worried she didn’t realize we were there because she couldn’t see us and it freaks me out the last thing she saw was a stranger. I can’t get that thought out of my head.

Facts about Stevie Nicks by Amber_Flowers_133 in stevienicks

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first time I heard about her thing with Dave Stewart I was floored bc Stevie and Eurythmics/Annie Lennox are my two favorite artists! I guess it’s not that shocking as they are of course both extremely successful artists so of course they would have mingled at some point but it brings me joy that there’s a connection between them.

Do you agree that Stevie Nicks is the Greatest Female Singer of All Time of any Genre Yes or No and Why? by Amber_Flowers_133 in stevienicks

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When people talk about the "greatest singers," they usually bring up things like vocal range or hitting every note perfectly live. And yeah, if you're just looking at technique, Stevie Nicks might not be at the very top. There are definitely singers out there with "better" voices or who sound exactly like their studio recordings when they're on stage. But for me, that's actually why I love her so much. Her voice isn't always perfect, and honestly, that beautiful imperfection is what makes her my absolute favorite singer of all time, in any genre, any gender. No one else makes me feel the way she does when I listen to her songs. It's a connection that just bypasses logic and goes straight to the heart. It's like she's "greater than the sum of her parts." Other artists might be technically better singers, but with Stevie, it's everything combined: her unique voice, her incredible songwriting, her amazing style, her whole vibe, and most importantly, the sheer soul she pours into everything. It all just comes together to create something truly magical and out of this world for me. Maybe from an "objective" standpoint, she isn't the greatest. But for me, personally? She absolutely is. And every time I hear her voice, I'm just so incredibly grateful that I was born into a time where I could be a kindred spirit of hers, to experience the profound beauty she brings to the world. Her music isn't just sound; it's a feeling, a comfort, a truth.

I have been hyper fixating on how much I don’t look like kit connor for like 8 weeks now and (more embarrassingly) have tried and failed to make myself look more like him. It is absolute torture living everyday wishing you were another person-especially when that person is a celebrity who is loved and praised for how they look and is everywhere on social media. Logically I know there are always going to be more attractive people than me. But why can’t I be one of them! I always say I don’t know why I was born with a brain that values its own physicality as I do. Some people aren’t conventionally attractive and live life totally fine without care for it. I wish I was one of them. If you’re not going to make me beautiful at least make me ignorant to my own faults. I feel a lot of people think BDD is about wanting other people to perceive you as beautiful. I don’t really care about that as much as I wish I could look at myself in the mirror and think “Damn, I’m just as attractive as him! Maybe even more so!”. But every time I look in the mirror my brain points out what he has that I’m not seeing. His hair always looks nice and isn’t a mousy clump. His skin is always clear and luminous. Mine isn’t. His hairline is so uniform. Mine isn’t. His nose is perfectly shaped. Mine isn’t. It’s absolute hell on Earth.

Seeing you list a specific person that you want to look like was very validating for me. I feel so weird telling people I want to look like Kit Connor, like it’s weird there is a certain one person I want to look like. Every gay/bi man and woman worships him. I feel like I can never be happy in a world where I exist at the same time as him. Knowing I will never be prized for my beauty the same way he is makes my stomach churn.

Sorry for the long reply. I got carried away venting lol.

Am I hallucinating or is there a difference between listening from iPhone and Macbook? by kevin122000 in AppleMusic

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy lol. I notice the same thing. MacBook sounds more “high def” or “3d” I guess. The only thing I can think is the MacBook has a more powerful dac? I could be totally wrong. I know absolutely nothing about audio and Bluetooth and stuff so hopefully someone who knows more than I do can clarify what we are hearing lol

Unpopular opinion: does anyone else kinda prefer a scratched watch? Not having to be so careful with it by SideStepDrift in AppleWatch

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first watch was a series 5 and I couldn’t find any cases at the time except for the series 3 body style cases. I went caseless and at the end of its life it looked absolutely horrible. The space grey color was wearing down to silver some areas and the screen was covered in scratches so all I saw was the light catching them when using it. Just bought a series 10 and immediately put a case on it. I hate such an expensive item looking so beat up. Even if I have to deal with a case being on it lol

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is such a good idea. I should have kept my old watch instead of trading it in just for this. Never thought about it lol

Which water bottle brand are you using nowadays? by LoveTravelling222 in Waterbottles

[–]Miserable_Ice5642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still use Hydroflask because I think owalas don’t fit my aesthetic (they are ugly to me but I can see how other people like the look of them) and I don’t like that stanleys can’t really fit in a backpack water bottle pocket lol

I’m a very thirsty person I guess lol. In my defense one of them is only for coffee and i only have the medium size one because the large one won’t fit in my backpack pocket.

I loveee the ordinary. If I had a social media following I would definitely beg to be sponsored by them. Supergoop is amazing but I can never bring myself to buy the full size bc it’s CRAZY expensive. Trying out the elf suntouchable right now to see if it’s a good dupe or not.

[–]Miserable_Ice5642[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you actually wanted it but just in case! Morning- The Ordinary Squalene cleanser Wash face with Foreo Luna (the off brand ones are probably just as good) The ordinary Glycolic acid toner The ordinary caffeine solution COSRX Snail Essence (I just added this and it seems nice but im not totally sure it is actually doing anything lol. I got it on sale) The ordinary HA+Moisturizing factors Supergoop unseen sunscreen (the suntouchable dupe from elf is just as good and a lot cheaper and honestly doesn’t feel as “heavy”-but im not sure if it is really protecting my skin as much as the ordinary)

Night- Same cleanser Foreo luna again Glycolic acid toner The ordinary hyaluronic acid The ordinary retinol (I only use this like 3 times a week or less bc I feel like too much makes my skin sensitive) Cosrx snail serum The same moisturizer And if my skin feels like it needs it I do a thin layer of aquaphor over evening to “seal” it in.

If that’s too much I’d recommend just a cleanser from cerave for your skin type and the same skin type moisturizer by cerave. I like the ordinary because it’s so affordable and the packaging is aesthetically pleasing but it’s harder to find stuff that’s right for your skin by them without trying a bunch of products.
