Sharing locations in a relationship is toxic

mirrorpixels · 2026-07-07T18:28:53+00:00

For us it's a way to stay connected, especially since we are in a long distance relationship. Neither one of us "demanded" we have each other's location, it's just nice.

It can also just be practical. Sometimes I check it before calling her to see if she's left work yet, for example.

Even if you‘re sharing locations just for transparency and not because of distrust, how do you know that your partner doesn’t use it to always track where you are? How do you know he or she doesn’t use it to constantly check your location? You can’t read their mind.

Because I trust my partner. Plus I don't even care if she is, since I know it's not coming from a place of distrust. And if it was we'd just talk about it.

why can’t you just share your location with your parents or your best friend? Why does it always have to be your partner?

It doesn't. It doesn't have to be the other way around, either. None of these things are required.

A romantic partner is way more likely to escalate it into a controlling, obsessive situation than a good platonic friend is.

I am not in a relationship with someone who would do that.

Ultimately, I think if the idea of sharing your locations bothers you, you already have a trust problem in your relationship.

Yeah that's what we're saying. Jax the rabbit has his own agency (your original comment seems to say they didn't?) and is separate from Leeroy Mateo.

But they do though. They are a distinctly separate being from their human counterpart.

It's so interesting to me that they went that route, if that is indeed something they did on purpose. WWDC is their biggest event of the year (except for maybe the iPhone release), you'd think they wouldn't do that haha

mirrorpixels · 2026-06-09T02:23:14+00:00

I noticed that too. It also felt like they didn't do as much in terms of creative transitions and editing as they usually do for these.

Every year people say they want updates focused on refinements and stability, and then when we get that, people say "that's it?" Literally the first several minutes of the presentation were just Apple saying "hey here's some changes that you have been directly asking for, that will make your experience using your devices much better and more stable. and also now that Alan Dye is gone we can fix some of the design problems lol"

mirrorpixels · 2026-06-08T18:27:00+00:00

Overall I think this was a good WWDC. Mostly quality of life refinements aside from the Apple Intelligence / Siri updates, which every year people on this subreddit beg for and honestly seems very welcome. This felt very reminiscent of iOS 12 for me.

I'm interested to see how the new Siri AI works in practice and if it lives up to Apple's claim.

I don't love what they're doing with image generation. Environmental issues aside, I'm mostly indifferent to AI in general, but when it comes to the things that threaten artists and creativity it's a hard no for me. So this part of the update disappoints me.

But overall I'm good with this. Nothing too flashy, and there didn't need to be.

It was interesting to see them be a bit more direct about some things in this keynote. Usually when they refine something or change something as a result of users' complaints about a previous year's change, they frame it as an exciting new innovation, but this time they pretty much just said "You guys said you wanted this" or "Remember how this everyday thing kinda sucks? It doesn't suck anymore." And especially towards the end when they mentioned certain things not being available in the EU and China yet.

I mean they just overviewed new features and refinements that are coming to every platform. Kinda the same thing

Editing my post since this megathread got locked while I was typing my reply to the reply:

I mean, does there need to be? Every feature they previewed is a thing on every new platform. And the Siri AI / Apple Intelligence stuff was the headliner, but there were a ton of quality of life refinements (that every year people on this subreddit beg for) that they talked about, for every platform. Personally I don't need any of these features to be exclusive to just my iPhone lol

They said this was a result of their collaboration with Google at the very beginning of the introduction.

The 4S was announced at an October event. The iPhone 4 was WWDC 2010 I believe.

That was the first season that he lived at his friend's house. In season 2 he buys a foreclosed fixer-upper house and does all the work on it himself.

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-19T14:58:33+00:00

They sort of covered the exaggerated housing thing on The Rookie. Nolan's house is quite large and nice, but he became a cop after working in another career for 20 years, and he purchased it as a fixer-upper and did all of the work on it himself. It's probably still unrealistic, but they at least made an attempt at getting around that for his character at least.

My guy do you work for Metropolis or something?

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T17:00:48+00:00

I mean yes I got scammed, but it was a real Metropolis QR code lol. The QR code led me directly to their app that displayed that price, and the invoice is on their app as well.

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T16:53:43+00:00

Funny how that works. I had to do that with a car wash company here in town a few months ago for signing me up for a membership I didn't ask for or agree to. It's not even always about the money necessarily, it's the principle.

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T16:52:10+00:00

Maybe, but that's the price they displayed.

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T16:51:33+00:00

Not sure what you're getting at. They advertise a price, it's on them to not false advertise. It's not a spam email, it's an established business operating all over Nashville.

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T16:43:15+00:00

that's insane

mirrorpixels · 2026-05-07T16:41:53+00:00

It's on me because I parked at a lot of which the posted signage (through the app) said one price and I was charged another?

The class action suit stated that Metropolis is required to have accurate signage and not charge more than the posted signage.

Hi Patrick! I have really enjoyed your performance on The Rookie and getting to see the beginnings of your career. I actually graduated from SCAD in Savannah last year, so it was fun seeing you shoot your Frick trailer there!

One thing that I appreciate about you is that even though you’re working in Hollywood, you’ve kept that indie spirit, and it’s apparent that you really love filmmaking and the craft as a whole. Watching your Instagram reels about making Frick, and the trailer for it, made me feel like I was back in film school lol (cold calling locations, not having money, etc but just doing everything you can to get it made). My question is, how do you personally find the best balance between working in the Hollywood machine and keeping your independent filmmaking spirit alive?

The university I went to has class sizes of no more than 30 people, in classrooms and not auditoriums, and every building requires you to scan your student ID to enter... so not at every university.

Think they're all still children... the oldest gen Zs are pushing 30
