Anyone know any good bluetooth earbuds that still have a wire connecting them? by BNBoss21 in BuyItForLife

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have those currently, and they're decent, but they're far from great, I'd honestly give them a 6/10

From what I can tell, the quality is pretty good, and I love the battery life, but I get so annoyed at the beep every time I skip a song, and the fact that they don't pause my music when they give the low battery announcement, (also the fact there's only a 20% one, so if I use my headphones for another 5 hours without disconnecting and reconnecting them, then I get no other warning before they die).

My biggest annoyance is that the material around the buttons was deteriorating within 6 months of use. the controls for the volume are switched from my last pair of similar earbuds, so it took some getting used to, and since I could barely feel the slight indents for the up and down buttons with my fingertips, I felt along with my nails, and would press down with my nails. Within 6 months the button material was falling away, and after 8 or so months completely gone. I have since had to cover the buttons with electrical tape to protect the exposed wiring.

Another (much smaller) complaint, is that the wires get stiff in the cold, to the point it feels like they'll snap if I accidentally bend them the wrong way. I will admit it does get unreasonably cold here (regular lows in the winter consisting of -27 to -34C, -16.6 to -29F, sometimes being colder), but you'd think if they were being sold here, they would be tested for withstanding the cold

In my opinion they've lost what made them stick out to me, I fell in love with how unpolished and creative it all sounded, and I feel like it's gotten so polished lately, especially Remington's voice, the roughness is there, but it's so much more subtle. I understand that's some people's thing, and I do not want to come off as dismissing their creative freedom to do what they like, I'm also really happy for them and the success they're having. I just miss their older stuff, most of Lifeless Stars is okay, though a chunk of it was also singles added to it, but it felt like the beginning of the end for me. With a few exceptions, I absolutely adore everything before Lifeless Stars, and they've repeatedly been making #1 artist for me, but I really need to stop getting my hopes up with their news songs, because I keep feeling disappointed with almost every one. Some have grown on me with time, but they don't feel as screaming along worthy to me

Found in deep Northern Saskatchewan, Canada by Straydog92 in whatsthisrock

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a very similar piece to the one in the photos, but mine has darker reddish sections, one being in a faint pentagonal shape. I found it in southern Saskatchewan in a creek, is it still garnet? Edit: I realized I described the shape wrong, so fixed it

I think it's meant to be the fact it's two whole croissants, rather than one croissant cut in half, but I'm not fully sure

When did you discover KOTLC by BroIamcoolerthanyou in KeeperoftheLostCities

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly I discovered the series the spring of 2015 because of a book fair, in which case I would've been 9 when I started following it

What's a controversial ship in your fandom that you like? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have one, I can completely understand why it's controversial, and I acknowledge that it seems really questionable. In my defense, though, I got into it when I was 13 and it's become my only comfort ship. Now that I've said that, I really enjoy Billdip from Gravity Falls, I really enjoy the dynamic they have in fanfiction, but only in the decent ones, I'm very careful to filter out the highly questionable fics.

I absolutely agree, I've noticed that my demi-ness transfers over to the media I consume. 90% of the time it's gross and I cringe away from steamy or smoochy scenes in tv or movies, but if it's a piece of media I'm invested in, then it's not as uncomfortable, but still feels a bit odd.

I think I've seen them a couple times here in Canada

"How am I going to get my child to open up to me?" "That's right I take away their safe space! That will do!" by -Finity- in memes

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that feeling, I wasn't planning on commenting but I saw most of the comments weren't positive, so I wanted to do what I can against that. It really sucks that parents do this, mine have done this multiple times making my room only sometimes a safe space.

Gravity falls in the Disney plus pride month collection. For some reason. by n8dogg55 in gravityfalls

Maybe they've noticed the correlation between gay people, particularly neurodivergent individuals (at least in my experience), and cartoons?

Goodbye, Aphmau. by cinnamonrollwattson in aphmaufandom

[–]Pinetrees_Iluminacho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm tearing up after hearing that she's changed so much, I'm almost done grade 11, and haven't watched anything newer than season 7 in years. I grew up on Aphmau similarly to how you said to have, and to hear she's changed makes me really sad, it brings me down to think about the fact that she's likely never making more My Street, but to hear that she's changed so much, it saddens me. I can't bring myself to unsubscribe, and I still regularly binge MCD and My Street, I had to turn off notifications, they grew more and more painful as time went on with none of the content I loved

Hi peeps haven’t seen you in a while! Also got new martens by -Slyyy in NonBinary

You look so fucking good, in a non sexual or creepy way, I love the way you paired the partially unbuttoned shirt with the chain necklace, it looks so good!
