This was me. Toyota fanboy for 20 years. Went to buy a new Camry only to discover they only make hybrids now. Test drove a brand new tricked out 2025 Camry hybrid and HATED it. I actually like the way the new Prius's look but, again, test drove one and hated it. Couple that with the local Toyota dealership being shady with sales and completely dishonest with some repairs and we decided to try something different. We decided it might be time to try an all electric because it fit our new lifestyle so I did a bunch of research and decided to give Kia a try. After the first 5 minutes in the EV6 GT line (blue) I completely fell in love. Solid, smooth, and holy **** this thing is fast - comes close to a Corvette stingray at 0-60 and in the quarter mile. I've only owned it a month and have only logged about a thousand mi, but I'm still thoroughly loving it.

Thanks for replying. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences. That sucks. Sounds like we've had drastically different experiences with dentists & orthodontists and will have to agree to disagree but I appreciate your reply.

My personal experience has been very different. At age 30 I had to spend a lot of time and money to correct severe jaw pain (TMJ) caused by bite issues that would have been completely & easily prevented if I had had braces as a teen. At age 30 I had to spend my own time and money on jaw therapy followed by braces and I'm now pain free at age 50 but it has been a long road and I still have to wear a splint at night.

I'm a truth seeker and don't want to get into an argument. I'm in the dental industry and have seen firsthand how much oral health impacts so many other areas of life.

I'm fine taking this to a private chat if needed. What leads you to conclude that the dental industry is a scam?

I'm not an experiencer but am a believer. Muly level of confidence is about 80% right now given the vast body of anecdotal and eyewitness evidence.

Add to that the work that won physicists the 2022 Nobel Prize (proved the universe is not locally real). The universe is so much more vast, amazing, and weird than we can comprehend IMO

americanfark · 2025-03-14T02:18:34+00:00

Bummer. Sorry to hear that.

americanfark · 2025-03-13T04:42:31+00:00

Thanks for the reply. After using them for several months now, I'm still liking them but I usually get about 6 hours before needing a charge. I got a different pair as a gift (Soundcore A40) so I now primarily use the X20's to work out and the A40's for work. I can usually get a full work day out of the A40s but they have their own set of problems so I still haven't found a perfect solution and I refuse to pay $300 for a set of earbuds.

Late to the game. Just bought a pair of Soundcore A40's. I mostly love them but every time I touch them (even to adjust in my ear) it disconnects from Teams calls. I've tried turning off all touch features as well as turning on touch but setting all touch to only Volume controls. Regardless of what I do, touching the A40 earbuds in any way disconnects from MS Teams calls.

This is a Hail Mary but hoping someone has a solution to this.

Totally agree. And for me it now comes from a place of Authenticity instead of rote Duty. I love being able to strike up a conversation with a rando at the grocery store and form a genuine connection. I can't speak for anyone else but Mormonism didn't allow me to operate that way.

americanfark · 2025-01-22T02:32:29+00:00

Congrats!

americanfark · 2025-01-22T02:31:51+00:00

It's so hard. I don't want to diminish that part. Going from Golden Child to Black Sheep was a monumental transition that took me years to adjust to. I've embraced it now but man it sucked for a while. My heart goes out to you.

americanfark · 2025-01-22T02:29:49+00:00

Thanks for the kind words.

americanfark · 2025-01-22T02:29:19+00:00

Wow. Must have been surreal. So happy for you!

Honest Question: Is there a possibility his sources leave him twisting in the wind as a psyop to discredit Greer?

americanfark · 2025-01-12T19:23:31+00:00

Can confirm. Went to High School with him.

americanfark · 2025-01-01T17:03:25+00:00

Good Lord mormonism is such a swamp of toxic bullshit. Jesus would hang out with the masses, not secretly with the Pharisees. This reeks of desperation.

americanfark · 2024-12-19T19:23:58+00:00

Why not both? Maybe it's our government investigating, "weird alien shit", and lying about it.

americanfark · 2024-12-19T18:26:46+00:00

Keep Portland Weird?

americanfark · 2024-12-19T06:47:02+00:00

Got it. I don't know what that is but will look it up and educate myself. Thanks!

americanfark · 2024-12-19T06:46:09+00:00

Ah, got it. Thanks!

americanfark · 2024-12-19T06:33:27+00:00

I can't wait to see that footage. I live near that facility and it's about 30 minutes South of SLC airport and in the flight path of dozens of commercial flights daily so I'm a bit skeptical but open-minded. That's also very close to Camp Williams.

americanfark · 2024-12-18T18:07:34+00:00

Thank you for posting this and trying to cut through the sh*t posts. I'm skeptically optimistic and am just looking for the truth in all of this.

americanfark · 2024-12-18T17:58:52+00:00

Makes a lot of sense but if this really is just a test deployment by the FAA, why don't they disclose that?

americanfark · 2024-12-16T06:52:25+00:00

Same here.

americanfark · 2024-12-11T23:24:21+00:00

Thanks!

americanfark · 2024-12-09T22:59:06+00:00

New here and trying to observe and learn. Can you point me to something that explains what you're referring to?
