• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This would be a huge blow. I use Google a ton to find relevant content on Reddit. It’s still a useful way to find helpful comments even after the mass exodus and deleting of old comments. This seems like it would be much more harmful.

  Is there a difference from mlmym.org? I’ve been using mlmym and they look the same to me.

  The simple display on his watch seems fine to me. I thought it was a decent movie. Acting, CGI and storyline were all okay. Not great, not terrible. I’d like to see more originality in Flash movies/shows but for mindless entertainment it was alright.

  I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion at first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have an iPhone. Apple Watch probably makes more sense for me, I think I’ll try to get an old used one and see how I like it. I could see Garmin being really good for a lot of people though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like it has some great features. I think I saw the battery life is quite good which would be nice. I know next to nothing about smartwatches so I’m just trying to figure out what would work for me. I’m pretty sure I will end up getting something used, I just haven’t decided on what. Apps are an pretty important factor for me.

  Can you use apps with this? I’m getting into weightlifting a bit and want to use the Strong app to record my lifting routine without needing to take out my phone. The only other features I really want are decent heart rate monitoring and good pairing with AirPods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘No way out’: how video games use tricks from gambling to attract big spenders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t do games with micro transactions. I got hooked on one and it was hard to break out of it even after I recognized how stupid my spending was. I was drawn into the games community which made it hard to let go and easy to get carried away with spending. It was a team atmosphere and cutting back made it feel like I was hurting our group. Eventually I sold my account to get out. It was very hard to do though. This type of spending looks really stupid from the outside looking in but there’s a strong draw that’s tough to escape when you’re in the middle of it. I just have to avoid them entirely now because I’m afraid getting addicted again. I don’t really play mobile games anymore because of how common it is
