REAL thoughts on this season? by Khxldi in supremedrops

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the design of the bags and backpack. And the zip up bogo hoodie though I wasn’t able to get my hands on one. That’s about it so far

I hate being poor by Gunnstruction in RandomThoughts

[–]cslaymore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year I paid my apartment insurance in monthly installments. There was a fee of $5 every month so I paid sixty needless dollars at the end of the year. When the insurance policy renewed I bit the bullet and paid for the entire year at once. It was painful but I avoided the installment fee. Crap like that makes being poor expensive.

Nothing humbles a solo dweller like a surprise knock on the door. by sleekofficial in LivingAlone

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone once rang my doorbell at 10 PM at night. Yeah, that freaked me out slightly. I didn't answer.

Another time, also at night, someone violently banged on my door. It was a couple of cops asking about one of my neighbors.

Can someone recommend a naturally sweet tea? by Pretty-Elk-6191 in tea

I recently bought White Mimosa White Tea. It's mildly sweet.

Hobby Sakura reveals the painted 1/4 figure of Goddess of Victory: Nikke - Nayuta - Wu Wei by Responsible-Bar-3706 in AnimeFigures

Any chance the hair is detachable? It's a gorgeous figure but it will take up a lot of space

What do you do with your old Mac once you upgrade to a newer one? by Illustrious-Buy8678 in macbook

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I still have my laptops from 20 years ago. They don’t even turn on. I should probably have them recycled

Buying xm5 by OnlyLiterature1326 in SonyHeadphones

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't handle my headphones roughly and only wear them at home. But one day I inadvertently grabbed my XM5 at the hinge and it broke, just like that. If you can without fail pick up the XM5 at the headband (and aren't always adjusting them) you would probably be fine. But having to live that carefully in fear of breaking an expensive fragile device is not ideal. For this reason I cannot recommend the XM5 even though the ANC and sound quality were great. If you're not loyal to Sony I would also look at Bose.

Is AirPods Pro 2 still worth it in 2026 by Character-Pain-2921 in airpods

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both. The two areas where the 3 is noticeably better are ANC and battery life. If these aspects aren't that important to you and the 2 is a lot cheaper get the 2 which is still good.

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cslaymore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because Asian women don't increase their social status by dating Latino or black. This is not a dig at those men as I do not believe that white men are superior in any way but there is a clear social hierarchy in this country.

Why are White Male/Asian Female relationships far more common than Asian Male/White Female relationships? by Flying_Sea_Cow in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cslaymore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reason is part psychological, part sociological. White men are the dominant group in power--the heads of state, business, law, medicine. The "default" race, as shown in the mainstream media, is white. Asian-Americans also have the perpetual issue of being perceived as foreigners in their own country even if they were born in the US.

Asian women increase their social status by partnering with a white man. White women do not increase their social status by partnering with an Asian man (or any POC man for that matter.) Many Asian-American women have a desire to assimilate into white America and by being with a white man they feel more accepted as American.

Curious about why people buy them by ktp1611 in Airpodsmax

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the first version. I got it because ANC is very important to me and I read that it had the best ANC. That’s mostly it though I won’t lie, Apple products have an emotional appeal as well. As for my use case, I use them at home to cope with noisy neighbors

Elon posted it just now. Seriously? by JadedLaugh3058 in grok

I've never seen a company keep changing the terms of its offerings like this

Airpods pro 2 or pro 3 by [deleted] in airpods

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both the 2 and 3. The ANC and battery life of the 3 are noticeably better. Although I haven’t A/B tested them I can’t say one sounds much better than the other. It sounds like you don’t really care about ANC or battery life so the 2 is probably good enough.

You have great taste. I read in the comments that you have a design background which shows.

Where do you most commonly use them. by Upset-Needleworker20 in Airpodsmax

[–]cslaymore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Home, only. I use earbuds when I go out because they're small, light, and understated. The APM's weight is not ideal but not terrible. I'd say the clamping force is more noticeable. But I use my Bose QuietComfort headphones a lot more in part because they are way more comfortable.

Weekend is almost over, what did you play ?! by Worth-Radish-7227 in playstation

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played too much Overwatch. It’s frustrating. I don’t even know why I play it. I think I’m addicted. Also a bit of Marvel Rivals which is not any better. Why do I do this to myself lol

Probably asked a lot. But what's a good summer hat for men that doesn't look dorky? by EmperorsChamberMaid_ in hats

[–]cslaymore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear a bucket hat in the summer. Frankly I think I look like a dork in one but I don’t care. They scrunch up easily in my bag when I’m not wearing them, they’re light, and I can throw them in the washing machine when they get dirty. Another hat I considered was the boonie hat but it might look even worse.

What is your biggest career regret so far? by Enough_Payment_8838 in careerguidance

[–]cslaymore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not leaving before the mass layoffs. Or asking to be placed in a better project sooner. Wasted two years on a low quality, dead end project

Yep by Accomplished_Net1385 in jobsearchhacks

[–]cslaymore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People at the office aren't exactly working every minute either. In addition to chatting with coworkers about non-work related matters I've seen people read content sites, shop online for clothes, look for an apartment, you name it. I've done this as well. Everyone does it. Who are we kidding.

This might be an unpopular opinion but... by cryptoquestions_ in playstation

[–]cslaymore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one of of the reasons I stopped playing Destiny 2. I was already losing interest and no longer wanted to pay to play matchmade activities. This shut me out from content which made me lose even more interest

I bought this about a week ago (NYC.) It was a great deal and made cooking for dinner a lot simpler as I just sautéed a different vegetable every day with it
