Sooo excited for this!! Super enjoyed each season. I'm not really into power level or fighting/combat anime, but the series balanced mystery, drama, and SoL so well to me that it became a favorite.

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.

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!!

I actually still own the TV and researched the issue off and on for years. It's just a design flaw and why they were offered during that Black Friday sale. I've gone through every menu and upgraded the fw; it's just the way it is 🤷‍♀️

For the most random reason, Borderline Forever. For the longest time, I only watched YouTube on my TV- it was one of my end of night routines, and I had a few channels that I always kept up to date with. Now, I have to note that the TV I owned, for many years, was a super cheap 50" TV I bought from Walmart during Black Friday . It wasn't great, but it was the first TV I bought myself when I started living on my own. One of the quirks of that TV was that the bezel actually extended over the screen and covered some of it. It wasn't ever really an issue, but every now and again, I'd be aware of it. So, you can imagine my absolute surprise to learn that the blue border which was on all his thumbnails was actually part of his videos as well- a whole episode to highlight something I had been completely unaware of for hundreds of episodes. I honestly don't remember much of the episode, but it was a big reason I ended up buying a new TV 🤭

Sounds really nice, and based on the reviews, it seems like a very cozy and supportive place! The UI and overall design though 😬 It probably grows on you over time. Thank you for sharing 🩷 Saving to look more into later!

It's so hard to explain this to people too 😭 my entire existence just freezes until whatever is scheduled is finished. And then those times when people cancel last minute and the entire day was like this...

I know you've said that you've asked her, and she's stated she's fine, but I think it matters how you ask. Sit down with her, mention the behaviors you've observed, explain how these things make you feel (I assume you're worried about a friend), and just let her know you're there for her if she ever wants to talk. Try not to make it too much about yourself, but be honest with your emotions... and try not to offer fixes for anything unless she asks. Myself and a lot of other women aren't always open with men, even friends, because it can be exhausting dealing with their problem solver personalities; we normally know how to fix things already, but doesn't mean they don't weigh on our minds.
