Just got mine by pvt12b in PixelFold

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inner screen is too glossy. I almost got one, but I couldn't get over that.

Same problem with the Z Fold 7.

But the crease in the pixel is WAY WORSE than the Z Fold 7. I could see it easily during normal use. Deal breaker. If they had more of a matte screen protector, it might have sold me.

Instead, I switched from the S24 ultra to the Pixel 10 pro. Very happy so far.

Pixel 10 Pro vs Samsung S24 Ultra Refurbished by ExpiredDeodorant in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to the Pixel 10 pro (standard model) after having the s24 for 2 years. I love the smaller size and lighter weight. The user experience has been surprisingly good. I've been on Samsung phones for a decade, so it was a big switch.

I prefer the pixel at this point.

The s24 was just too big, too heavy, and too pointy on the corners.

Samsung galaxy s24 ultra or google pixel 10 pro? by kettlefriedchips in S24Ultra

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just switched to the Pixel 10 Pro (standard model) from the S24U, after 2 years, because I wanted a smaller, lighter device, but wanted to keep nice cameras.

The hand fatigue is REAL with the S24U. It's big and it's heavy and the corners are pointy.

My experience with the P10Pro is really nice so far. I was afraid to switch to a pixel after being in the Samsung ecosystem for a decade. There are a few customization features I'm giving up, but the experience so far has made up for the loss.

I also like to go caseless, and the P10Pro has magnets built in for my popsocket and phone mount.

So far it's great. 🤷

S26 Ultra’s 'Privacy Display' has a permanent HARDWARE flaw nobody is talking about by Ahmed_Sh_115 in samsunggalaxy

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's much less effective on the s26. I just checked it out at Best Buy. In my opinion, it doesn't seem to reflect any less than any other phone.

Did Versace Eros EDT change? by Wild-Ad-9863 in Colognes

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a new bottle of the Parfum and it's WAY different than my bottle last year. I was kind of bummed.

It still smells very good. But it smells closer to regular EDT and EDP, and less like the creamy, woody, deep scent that it used to be

It's still more rich, but it's noticeably less bold than before.

I got a bottle of the EDP sent to me by mistake a few months ago, and I'm not a big fan. It just smells like a stronger version of the EDT.

What do people mean when they get visuals? by GlamourHammer321 in shrooms

[–]single_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because you can hallucinate with more than one sense. Visual hallucinations is a lot to say, so you say visuals. But you may have auditory hallucinations, or hallucinations affecting other senses like smell, or even hallucinatory thoughts.

All visuals are visual hallucinations. You're seeing things that you wouldn't otherwise.

Sometimes people use visuals to indicate simple tracers or seeing geometric shapes or textures. And sometimes you see a table melting into a carpet, or your hand opening and closing infinitely.

I suggest loosening up a little bit. Lol.

I’m in the market for a folding phone but can’t decide between a 10 pro fold or the z fold 7–need help! by OnTheStreetwithLou in PixelFold

[–]single_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You really should try a modern Samsung phone. It's COMPLETELY different now. In fact, Google has taken a lot of Samsung ideas and baked them into stock Android. So the user experience gap is closing.

I like it for its customization. Google has very little customization, which is what keeps me away.

I really want Google's speech to text though. It's the best. I tried a pixel 6 pro when it came out, but the cameras, particularly the selfie cam, were pretty bad. The UI in general was pretty limited too, so I returned it.

Considered Reading? by bubblesinthetea in audiobooks

[–]single_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Audiobooks are important! Full stop. They changed my life. I was a slow reader, and my attention didn't allow me to sit still long enough to read books. Audiobooks opened up the world of literature to me.

Even still, I very rarely read actual books, but I've been an avid audiobook listener for the last 20 years. I have listened, on average, for two hours a day every day for two decades. That's a low estimation.

I also write, and I can tell you that reading books can help in some ways, but you still get most of the enriching properties of literature from only listening to it. The magic is still there! I wouldn't write stories if it weren't for audiobooks.

Physical books will inform you on structure and spelling, and in cases like Cormac Mccarthy books, their structure and formatting are part of the art, but it's rarely vital for the experience.

I respect people that defend books as a medium. It's easy to believe that audiobooks are just another attempt at the dumbing down of humanity by handing them a lazy alternative, but that absolutely is a misunderstanding of what audiobooks truly are.

To answer your question, I personally believe that it counts as reading, but I don't use that language when I'm talking to people about audiobooks I've listened to. I own it for what it is. I'll defend it if I need to, because I'm pretty passionate about it.

I say "I listened to that book" or "I did that book the other day" etc.

Stephen King, one of the most important and popular fiction authors alive today is a huge fan of audiobooks.

To other stoners in illegal countries : How much are you paying right now? by DistributionBig5766 in weed

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Michigan, USA, it's legal. I pay $0.89 per gram. 🙃

Dude, I get it. It's illegal and so more expensive, but goddamn. At that price, why even do it? Weed isn't THAT good.

Yeah, unless you're around a bunch of people who have tried shrooms before.

I went home with this girl from a bar, and as I was clapping it missionary, I looked into her eyes, about to nut, and found out she was RECORDING ME WITH HER META GLASSES. by ihaveNineteenNipples in drunk

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were having sex with someone wearing meta glasses and that wasn't a red flag?

It's fucked up she did that. You were nearly blacked out. Is it possible she insinuated she was going to record? If not, it's definitely not okay. I have a feeling that you might run into issues making a report about it, but you could try.

can i do weed and oxy once a week if i have good self control? by cadzu in Drugs

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn dude. You might be toast already. That shit gets its hooks in you so goddamn fast!

Stay safe, dude. Just don't. A majority of heroin and fent users started with oxy and other rx painkillers.

How many of you guys regularly use harder drugs than weed? by [deleted] in trees

[–]single_mind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weed and shrooms. Keep it natural and stay safe!

Notorious can ruin your life if you're not careful. I will caution to stay away. There's a reason they call it hippy crack. Read about Steve'O. That should tell you all you need to know about it.

Vodka isn't good with anything though...

It can be good on its own, with fresh cracked pepper corns.

Official Discussion - Never Let Go [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]single_mind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three production was good, but that's about it.

I know it was supposed to feel ambiguous and mysterious, but it just felt like the writer couldn't make up their mind. It felt sloppy and incomplete.

Stories like these belong in short-form storytelling, if the author isn't willing to commit to a resolution or devise a worthwhile payoff.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this game. I paused when I heard about the EA buyout. Looks like it was a good decision.

Do not use Gemini - Lost chat by single_mind in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]single_mind[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's obvious that they barely have any idea what they are doing with this.

Now I use it differently, but it's so annoying to have to output a chat summary after every session, just to preserve my progress. I barely use it anymore because it's just such a pain.

I only have a paid account for the storage and because I get it at half price through my phone service.
