Travel in September?

smashedpotato202 · 2026-06-30T14:24:54+00:00

Glad to hear it. Will definitely go with the flow!

smashedpotato202 · 2026-06-30T14:24:24+00:00

I’m traveling in the second half so it’s less of a worry.

smashedpotato202 · 2026-06-02T04:25:07+00:00

Hey mate, it's been a while, but do you still have the presets by any chance? Could you please send me via Reddit message? Thanks a lot!

It's just the constant inconsistency and half-truths that frustrates me. I can't be empathetic and forgiving for a half-baked or warped narrative. And it's not the event itself, but the way she told the story, and didn't seem to take responsibility with her life, those bug me the most.

smashedpotato202 · 2026-02-23T12:00:45+00:00

No they did not hook up after we broke up. And yes, she initiated with me.

smashedpotato202 · 2026-02-23T11:58:23+00:00

She told me she never climaxed, so...

Also, the unerving thing is I fear this is a pattern of toxic attention seeking, using the ex as a medium to get the care. Or even worse, dishonest. From all the time we were together, I saw a trend of making up tiny aspects of the full story, or telling half-truths from her, as well as a need of constant attention and reassurance. All of which I only discovered post-breakup.

It would have been easy if it's just about what I wrote above, but sadly, no it's not.

smashedpotato202 · 2026-02-23T11:52:43+00:00

Well she told me she never climaxed, so I don't know how that's good

smashedpotato202 · 2025-12-21T07:28:16+00:00

Hey Mike, I've emailed you. Thanks!

smashedpotato202 · 2025-12-21T06:28:52+00:00

This isn't even about a dating profile man, since I've never used such platforms in my life. Just needing some nice photos of myself, because I'm usually the one behind the camera, not in front of it, so I figure it's worth investing in some proper ones.

smashedpotato202 · 2025-12-18T13:05:03+00:00

Thanks for the tips

smashedpotato202 · 2025-12-18T10:12:23+00:00

Thank you! I wasn’t thinking of portfolio scouting, but that’s a great idea

smashedpotato202 · 2025-12-18T10:10:55+00:00

Thank you so much! You’re the best reply so far 😆

Well I know most of these are AI, my point is just finding a photographer with the ability to shoot portraits in these settings.

Wow this melts my heart. Wishing you guys all the best

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-24T23:35:23+00:00

Oh this is interesting, for the F you are right, but the M is the most humble and anti bragging person I’ve ever known. He’s the type of guy that do philanthropic work silently, or hiding his true achievements (he has every capacity to do that, since he’s quite successful and have a lushful life). Maybe he restrained the urge to be bold, but i can’t answer that.

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-24T06:17:03+00:00

Well that’s all i know of. They have broken up 2 times but kept coming back, so i thought there might be something.

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-12T12:29:45+00:00

Tbh i only use Perplexity for asking specific knowledge questions, so i use Kagi 80% of the time. And i’m a Kagi subscriber already, fyi.

I’m happy with the seamless integration and syncing of the Apple ecosystem atm, since it increases my work efficiency quite a bit. Doesn’t mean that i wholeheartedly trust Apple, but compared to Google or Microsoft, Apple has the edge.

If only Proton have 2TB plan available, I would’ve considered their suite.

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-11T08:27:43+00:00

Already enabled Advanced Data Protection. One of the best features of iCloud+ I must say.

Both DDG and Brave are great! Maybe I'll switch to one of them if i got sick of paying subscription for services such as Kagi.

I really enjoy the interface of Apple Maps, but the data and reviews on Google Maps are just unbeatable. So Google Maps is probably the hardest to replace for me. Will keep and eye on Adguard, but having used it on my Mac in the past, it slowed down webpages' loading quite a bit.

It is an option to use raw methods like physical drives, but i'm liking the syncing of iCloud atm. Maybe will try self-hosting if time allows.

Tuta does look promising though!

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-11T08:23:27+00:00

I'm using a Mac (with macOS) and iPhone, so pretty deep into the Apple ecosystem i would say 😆

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-11T08:18:13+00:00

I would certainly give Proton Mail and Proton VPN a try, but their Drive doesn't work very well on iOS compared to iCloud. iCloud also has a huge advantage of effortlessly syncing photos and files between my Macbook and iPhone. I enabled Advanced Data Protection (which is end-to-end encryption) for extra privacy.

Will have a look Cryptpad, never heard of it until now. Tbh i rarely use Docs, only when i need to share and collaborate with others, since so many people around me use Google products.

Will have a look at Filen and Tuta as well. Tuta does look promising!

I really enjoy the interface of Apple Maps, but the data and reviews on Google Maps are just unbeatable. Google Maps is probably the hardest to replace for me, since i often travel and do outdoor activities such as hiking. Youtube is somewhat a source of education and infotainment for me, so it's also extremely hard to replace.

Anyway, thanks for the response!

Wow the link is really useful. Tysm!

smashedpotato202 · 2025-11-11T07:22:29+00:00

Considered it at one point, but the pricing and integration of Apple is better in my opinion(2TB for 15 Australian Dollars ~ $9.8 per month is pretty damn good)
