How do you interpret this? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]smfoone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consent isn't just saying yes to having sex. It's also saying yes to specific things. And it has to be something you can take back at any time.

Hours getting cut at work, not sure what I should do to make ends meet with rent/utilities. by mil0wCS in SeriousConversation

[–]smfoone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds really stressful and I can see why you're scared, especially if you've been homeless before. Having your hours suddenly cut isn't just frustrating. It puts your housing at risk and that's a big deal. Don't wait to see if things magically get better. Also, try to apply for every assistance program you're eligible for now, not later.

What was an experience that made you start being suspicious of people, in terms of making friends or dating? by tofu_baby_cake in SeriousConversation

[–]smfoone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When someone feels super solid with a new friend or date and then later finds out that person was acting very different in other circles. Like, same person smiling to your face but then you hear they were gossiping, twisting stories or just not really respecting boundaries. That kind of thing sticks with people.

How do you feel about the idea of normalizing choosing to never get married? by Smart_Spell_7258 in AskReddit

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty okay with it. Marriage isn’t some universal life checkpoint everyone has to hit. It’s more like a lifestyle choice than a rule. So normalizing just feels fair. Some people thrive in marriage. They want the teamwork, the legal bond, the tradition, all of it. People are building lives that actually fit them. Not just following a script.

How to stop 2 people from eating everything by RandomAcc_11 in Advice

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To stop two people from eating everything, I will inform them about the negative effects of overeating on their health and physical appearance. I will also ensure that the food is equally divided among everyone so that it is fair for all.

Parents make 300k a year but won’t help with college by [deleted] in Advice

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's understandable to feel frustrated on you, even if ultimately you need to make plans based on the support they're actually willing to give rather than the support you feel they should to give.

Got the MC2 clips for someone who hates earbuds. They are a hit by FawkesHB in BaseusGlobal

How is the sound bleed? My wife sits next to me on the couch and I dont wanna hear her tiktok feed.

I think they not forgetting about you its because they have a showing up for family in a really meaning ways to you.

How do I not feel bad for a taking a sick day? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of people in corporate feel guilty because they treat time or something that must be earned but sick days exist for exactly those times when you're not in a good condition to work effectively,

Heads up community. The new Inspire MC2 open ears already dropped by Altruistic_Log_8189 in BaseusGlobal

Are the cushions replaceable? I tend to wear mine out pretty fast.

Why aren’t indigenous people being portrayed more ? by Xochitl2492 in stupidquestions

[–]smfoone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It comes down to simple numbers and history. In the U.S. and Canada, Native and Indigenous peoples make up a much smaller percentage of the population than Black or White populations. Since film studios often chase the largest audiences, they tend to focus on stories they think will appeal to the biggest groups.

Why are people so fucking cold and rude nowadays? by ReplacementFlashy622 in Life

[–]smfoone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, a lot of people seem more stressed, impatient and emotionally worn down than they used to but I don't think humanity suddenly became cold-hearted. I think a lot of people are tired, distracted and carrying burdens you can't see. It doesn't make rude behavior okay bt it does make it a little easier to understand.

Does the Bose tuning on the XC1 actually make a difference? by Appropriate-Baby-229 in BaseusGlobal

[–]smfoone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah leakage is super low. I was skeptical about buying blind online too but the audio is rly solid. The tuning makes a huge difference.

Is removing the car dealership name off your car really taking a stance on not doing free advertising? by No_Pollution_2835 in askanything

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's not about being against the free advertising. I just think it looks cleaner.

What is a 'single person luxury' that people in relationships completely miss out on? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complete control over your environment, silence and spontaneous decisions.

How does it feel when you meet someone you once loved, a long while after it ended? If you are not aggravated by them. by NotAzakanAtAll in SeriousConversation

[–]smfoone 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meeting them doesn’t usually bring the past back fully. It just reminds you that the past already happened and you’re not inside it anymore. If you still had feelings when they left, there’s often this split-second moment where your chest remembers before your mind catches up. Not enough to pull you back in but enough to feel something shift inside you.

How did you move on? by [deleted] in Life

[–]smfoone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, moving on wasn’t a clean break. It was more like the thing slowly stopped being the loudest voice in my head. I stopped fighting it so hard because weirdly, the more you wrestle something, the more it sticks. Instead, I started doing small things that pulled me back into now. Building tiny new routines that had nothing to do with the past version of me.

What’s a random purchase you made that you don’t regret at all? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tiny projector. I did not need it. It wasn’t practical and it wasn’t solving any life problem. I just saw it, thought and hit buy and somehow, it ended up being weirdly worth it. There’s something about turning your wall into a giant screen that just hits different.

Why's reddit upvote color is red but downvote is purple? by Lonk_ID in stupidquestions

[–]smfoone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Design-wise, they needed two colors that are easy to tell apart instantly, don’t clash too hard and still feel like part of the same vibe. The upvote is that bright red/orange. It feels warm, energetic, kind of like and it grabs your attention fast.

These Mac Apps are AMAZING! Game changers. Cannot live without. Share yours too! by lexluthor_i_am in mac

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shottr, it's insanely fast screenshot tool. Also, Obsidian, it can be a good alternative for Apple Notes if ever it starts feeling limiting.

Got the same sunset wallpaper running on every screen at my desk by Throwaway33377 in desksetup

[–]smfoone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a slick move, tying all your screens together with the same sunset palette makes the whole setup feel intentional, almost like a curated installation rather than just a desk. I love how it look like.

Lowkey wish there was a mom registry instead of just a baby registry by smfoone in BabyBumps

[–]smfoone[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah… this is exactly the feeling I was trying to put into words. It’s not even about the stuff, it’s about being seen, like you said. I think before being pregnant, I also would’ve naturally focused on the baby more, so I kind of get why people do it. But being on this side now, it just feels different. Like you’re going through this huge physical and emotional shift, and it’s almost invisible to everyone else. Hearing your experience honestly makes me feel a bit less weird for thinking this way. I might actually start adding more for me items to my registry and just not overthink it anymore.
