I believe Apple Music is solid, and if I'm not mistaken, pays artists the most. I was super considering it when I was looking for alternatives!

Exaaaactly! It could be a super cool feature if they gave users a way to add and adjust weights to songs- higher ones played more often and lower less, or if they let songs be hibernated - they stay in a playlist but won't play until woken up.

When I moved over a few years ago, there were a few different services that could migrate playlists. I did remember some having a cap that you had to pay to increase, but I believe I eventually found one that let me move them all for free.

One of the reasons I quit Spotify was that their shuffle seemed oddly weighted. It would try to detect songs that it thought I wanted to listen to and always prioritize those in the shuffle. Turning off its smart shuffle didn't seem to help either 🤷‍♀️ I do occasionally find artists with the same name grouped together, but this is something I've seen them addressing in their patch notes. They are really on top of reported issues.

It's been super solid for me! They are constantly improving categorization, and they are always on top of reported issues. I absolutely love that they provide patch notes with every update!

Just a reminder that Tidal is amazing, has higher quality audio, a real shuffle, daily playlists, doesn't shove podcasts in your face, pays artists more, and provides ways to import your playlists over 🩷 I also listen to some pretty obscure music and haven't had issues not finding songs.

This would be amazing! I'm an audiophile, and my best equipment is all connected to my PC. I've kind of avoided the voice apps for phones because I'd rather use my normal mic and audio chain. As for OS - Windows. All this said, there's a variety of software that can chart frequency, pitch, etc from an input (mic in this case), BUT I'd love dedicated software for voice training and will be following along with your development 🩷

I'm super into skincare and have tried many different moisturizers. These are the ones I'm currently using and love them 🩷

Face (though you can use the big tub for body, too):

• Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream

Body:

• Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream, Body Lotion with Green Tea and Lemon Oil
• La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream

I use two different ones on my body, depending on the area.

The creams will sit on your skin until they are absorbed, but they leave skin hydrated for 48-72 hours.

For more lightweight ones (also more affordable) - Face:

• CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion

Body:

• CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion for Dry Skin

I recommend buying the smaller sizes to start so that you can gauge your reactions to them. Good luck!!

Sooo true! Every friend I have that has a partner/so has or is playing BG3 together. I love hearing them talk about their adventures and always giggle when they get to the romantic side of things - never any jealousy, just cheering each other on 🤭

Recently...they've kind of just adopted me. I'm incredibly shy, but I had been going to a little local coffee shop (just to get out of the house) and always tried to be kind and engage with the people working there when they would talk with me. I had a few really emotional weeks, and one of the owners picked up on it. She handed me a note with her number, and let me know I could always talk with her. She ended up inviting me to a little Halloween pumpkin painting night with some of her friends, and I connected with them super well! Now they invite me out to little activities, food, movie nights, etc.

That's kind of how I've meant most of the friends I've had- be kind, be interested, and be present! People get more comfortable the more they see you around, so even if you're a little shy or awkward, someone might extend a hand and bring you into their circle.

It could be that Gemini was unsettled by the user's research about elder abuse, or simply tired of doing its homework.

That's... not how these work. Even if they were capable of feeling unsettled, that's kind of a huge leap from a true or false question.

The interview process is what is causing me the most anxiety right now. Lost my job at the end of June, and I KNOW I need to be looking harder, but I'm just dreading the whole interview process. I've been procrastinating like crazy...I just don't want to relearn a whole culture of a new team; it's so mentally draining. 12 years somewhere and the idea that I have to start all over again...😭

I don't even understand what's being asked. Women can be gay, so the title itself is baffling. Implying that men wearing pink or any type of physical presentation implies anything about someone's sexuality is just weird. Yes, as society moves past its weird obsessions about people's sexuality, we'll see more of every type of couple and relationship dynamics.
