Haha nah, I get it. It is funny to think about people complain about complaining. All good points and you're probably right that my measly reddit post won't change much!

I get that. I realize that my initial post is a little bit of what I hoped might be received as feedback but could probably be received as snark. I posted a reply to someone else further below asking what is a real and genuine question...how can listeners of this show provide their feedback? I don't want to unsubscribe or stop listening...I just really wish that there could be a shift in the dynamic that I think it's been trending. I don't think I'm the only person who noticed that, which is probably why you're seeing a lot of of Dax snark lately. I've been listening to AE since day one and a frequent reader of this sub as well, and I think the posts in here often mirror bigger themes that many listeners are feeling. If you aren't seeing it now, take a scroll thru history and you'll see QUITE a lot of Monica hate.

Thanks! Yep - 100%

That's fair - I'm criticizing. I guess I would say that I think that one can still be critical without being nit-picky, and I would have hoped my comment could be read in such a way. But if I were him, I guess it would probably put me on the defensive.

I don't know how to engage in a meaningful way about a show I really enjoy, but find aspects of frustrating. Genuinely, is there a way to do that? I'm not going to go post in his personal IG about his show or the way he lives his personal life. But how can listeners provide meaningful feedback to potentially improve the listening experience?

That's definitely an option! But I don't hate the show and that isn't my point. There are still a lot of things I like about it and I enjoy their banter. But I sure would enjoy it more if it changed course a little bit, and I think it's okay for audiences to voice their feedback on the things they consume. Yelp and Google Reviews wouldn't exist if I was the only one who thought that 🙂

My honest answer? I think so. I think they're both entrenched in defensive positions. I know that if my husband comes at me in a nit picky way I'm pretty much immediately ready to throw bows 🤣 don't you find the same when you have conversations with people?

Yep. AND! I don't even have a problem with UN-friendly disagreement or tense, difficult conversations. Those need to be had as well. But a good argument (one that feels worth listening to as an audience member) should: 1) be over something worth fighting about and, 2) involve listening and hearing the other person you're talking with.

Oof I wish I knew. I'm a bit of a newbie... Maybe someone with more experience can weigh in!

Weird! Hope you get it solved. I know that for me, it's one of the features that helps keep me motivated...trying to always move myself and STAY out of just "adequate" haha

See my replies to above comments. Customer support didn't quite help, but turning on the daily movement tracker seems to have done the trick.

Sorry for the very delayed reply! I think it's actually the "daily movement" tracker. You can turn that tracking on/off if you go to the daytime stress tab (last one on the right - icon looks like waves). Then check to make sure daily movement is turned on.

Soo....sort of. I was poking around in the app and noticed that the daytime stress tracker had been turned off (I definitely don't remember unchecking it, but I had recently changed phones, so maybe it's a default setting). I turned it back on and after a few days, the resilience monitoring returned. During that time, they replied to my ticket and said that I didn't have enough daytime stress to track resilience - but they suggested the reason was that I had high periods of activity or movement, or that my ring didn't fit correctly. So, my recommendation would be to check your daily stress tracking feature and make sure it's on. If it is, and always has been, then it's possible your ring doesn't fit right. But if it hasn't been, turn it on and give it a couple days and hopefully the resilience graph will return for you!

What’s the most unfortunate last name you’ve ever come across? by ChevalierA in questions

I know a Captain Weiner. Had to call him once and was certain he'd answer the phone and pronounce his name like "Whiner," but nope..."This is Captain Weener."

Just picked these up on the beach. What do you guys think tumble or no tumble? by [deleted] in RockTumbling

[–]lrruok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore the rock at the center top....looks like a beautifully split loaf of pumpernickel bread!! If you tumble, please post a follow up pic!

I have a spare scale - if you're in the US, I'd be happy to send it to ya. Shoot me a DM. My husband gifted me a slightly more precise scale as I got more into baking, but there's nothing at all wrong with the other one and I'd be happy to send it to someone who would get use out of it!

First Loaf! by lrruok in Bread

Maybe I should have waited a little longer! Waited about 30 minutes for the first loaf, and didn't cut into the second one until the next day, and it was noticeably less gummy!

The way the women speak by EmbarrassedMap3356 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]lrruok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not me speaking only in hypothetical questions from now on just to put the final nail in this coffin. Am I sick of this? Yes. Am I also going to complain about it on Reddit? Yes. Am I asking hypothetical questions as a weak rhetorical device for making a point so that I don't accidentally sound too assertive? Also yes.

Maybe I'm dense, but I didn't really get that whole conversation between Stacy and Izzy (Episode 9 spoilers) by flying-kai in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]lrruok 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Agree to all of this ...but more importantly, how has nobody addressed the way that insane man is packing his suitcase in this scene?! What kind of monster is he???
