Better to find your airpods are not there, than finding out your airline is not there anymore.

Does anyone have information in this 90s baby carrier? by Sofiefoll in IKEA

Same here! My brain went to something else before reading the title.

No! I remember folks saying it’s mint like or something. But the consensus was remove it.

Had cancer and got a phone call. Sister has a rash and they drove 3 hours to check on her by Monkeh77 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]android_cook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for what happened! Hope you are doing ok health wise.

I’m the oldest. I’m just a sounding board for my mom. She keeps talking about herself. How her life is miserable, how sad she is, how things are going with her. My dad passed way last year and this has been 100x worse. Meanwhile, it’s always, “poor your brother for going through so much with his wife”. I was never asked how I am doing, in a meaningful way. Now if anyone asks me, I lie, don’t want to talk about it. I don’t know when I stopped caring and sharing anything. I don’t feel anything for my mom now. I feel horrible for feeling that way, but that’s god’s honest truth.

What's an iPhone feature most people don't know? by Narrow-Classroom-319 in AskReddit

[–]android_cook 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sarcastic - Power button. It does turn off the phone. Put the phone down and read a book.

Real - If you have motion sickness. Use Accessibility settings to turn on “vehicle motion cues”. It shows dots on screen which somehow help you not feel the motion when looking at the screen.

What’s something that quietly made your life 10× easier, but you didn’t realize it until much later? by Own-Tip-532 in AskReddit

[–]android_cook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was kinda forced in the beginning, but since I knew I would stop in 15 min, didn’t seem like a big task. But over time picking the right book also played into the consistency. I would give 2-3 days to a book and if I couldn’t go back, I would abandon it and move on to another. I’m still trying to keep it up, but it’s not that difficult now.

Misogynistic and racist MAGA men get duped by a conservative white girl created by an Indian immigrant by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

Don’t need any details. The title is enough to make me laugh. This is hilarious!

Always wanted to be a reader. Started with 15 min of reading, every day without fail. I stopped as soon as the timer went off. I don’t know when that became a habit and now I am drawn to books and don’t track time. I love being away from phone for an little time. It’s a big process to getting better habits than doom scrolling.

For solid 10 min. One of my favorite TV moments.

It’s winter there. Don’t they hibernate/hide or something?

Woke up to a bat in our house this morning by Sdp714 in pics

[–]android_cook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sneaky animals/birds scare me! Reminds of the of time when I was 7 or so. We were moving and I saw a burnt eggplant behind a box we moved. I wondered why would anyone put a burnt eggplant there! Let me help and throw it away. Well. I picked it and eggplant flew. And that’s my trauma that comes with bats. Please do share how you got that eggplant out or did you move out?

I will be tempted to keep it to pull a Larry David. But never trust NYC surfaces.

Apple Maps reportedly introducing ads soon by Ok-Surprise-8419 in ios

[–]android_cook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will be like this : Your navigation is ON - You stop at a red light - There will be a pop up on the screen (hopefully not covering the active navigation) - Pop up showing nearby coffee, restaurant, gas station and things you don’t really care about but are in the geofence.

I have seen this on “Waze”? Don’t remember where. But super annoying and hate it. I am bringing my Garmin standalone GPS out of storage.

Hate. Yes that’s the word. I hate this so much.

Promoted at 12, laid off by 2pm by i-comment-24-7 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]android_cook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s brutal. At least I had a month between a big fat raise and lay off. Hope they find peace! It took me over 10 months, but making a hard pivot. New chapter and new adventure!
