Users discuss the daughter's reluctance to clean her room, potentially due to a hoarding tendency, lack of organization skills, and overwhelm. The discussion highlights the need for guidance and a structured approach to cleaning and organization.
"OP should offer to tackle the room with her. Teach her how to sort into pitch, donate, keep piles. Help her clean any items that need it. Get bins to store her things & figure out where they will be stored."
"She might be overwhelmed with all of the stuff and just not know where to start."
"The kids is being a kid & needs coaching to grow up. She suffers from a lack of parenting."
Users discussing a teen's frustration with a parent constantly reminding them about showering and personal hygiene. The discussion highlights a need for a way to track and remind the user to perform these hygiene habits effectively.
"I think I should also mention that she's 8 months pregnant and is due on the 10th."
"Maybe you need a different soap or deodorant/ antiperspirant?"
"All summer, everytime I go to shower at nighy, my mom will tell me something along the lines of "don't forget to scrub scrub scrub real good,use a lot of soap, get every crevice." Like I don't know how to shower."
Users discussing the unconventional nature of seating charts at a baby shower and expressing confusion and negative feelings around the experience. This could potentially be addressed by software that helps automate and streamline the creation and management of seating charts.
"Sorry people make a seating chart at a baby shower? That’s weird to me. A wedding I get but a baby shower?"
"In all honesty, I've never been to a baby shower where there was a seating chart. All the friends and families I've known, even the super anal retentive ones, have never been that controlling."
Users express the need for a tool that enables the automatic tracking of workout progress. They are particularly interested in features that provide insights into workout history, body measurements, and the ability to find equivalent machines across different gyms.
"I wish there was an app that could tell me what machines are similar between different gym chains"
The user is frustrated with their dad's fiancee trying to take on the role of 'grandma' to their child. The user uses a private app to share photos with their dad, but does not want the fiancee to assume that role. The user wants to maintain family photos and stories of the deceased mother.
"Recently, we did a small memorial for my mom. Got Slurpees (her thing), visited her grave, and ate at her favorite restaurant. I gave my dad a heads-up weeks before, and he hushed me and said we’d “talk about it later.”"
"We also use a private app to share baby photos with grandparents (we don’t post on social media). I added my dad recently. A few days ago, he texted asking me to send Terry the invite link and that “she’d really appreciate it.”"
Users are having difficulty reading the text in a band logo design. They are discussing the aesthetic appeal of the logo, but several comments point out the challenges in understanding the text. This highlights a need for tools to quickly assess the readability of a design for different audiences.
"A little hard to read but I like it."
"It's pretty cool other than it being very hard to read"
"Unreadable."
Users express that the songs at Eurovision are often not something they are familiar with, and they find it difficult to determine which songs they will like, resulting in a lack of votes for some of the songs. They also mention that some songs require a lot of listens before people can appreciate them. This creates a challenge for the average Eurovision viewer when trying to find new music they may like.
"There's not that much going on in there, especially in the verses, so it gets repetitive quite quickly."
"It took me a couple of months to really appreciate it and now Gåte's one of my favourite bands"
"It is an acquired taste."
"As hardcore Eurovision fans most of us listen to the competing songs a lot before the show, but the general audience doesn’t."
"if I'm being honest it's kind of... boring?"
Users express interest in the suspense and drama of close Eurovision voting sequences, highlighting the desire for tools to easily analyze and compare voting patterns across different years and potentially simulate different outcomes.
"one of the years where the algorithm they tried to use in 2014, 15, and maybe 13 (can’t remember for sure) would’ve made a (slightly) better end to the voting sequence. obviously, it was already exciting, but the winner was decided after the 10 point announcement, if they swapped countries around it could’ve been decided on the final point announcement. i think it’s unfortunate that the years that they did the algorithm happened to be pretty lopsided cause we could have gotten some intense voting sequences had the algorithm been used more"
"In the 21st century, the voting sequences of 2003, 2016, and 2021 were extremely exciting."
Users discuss the potential for disinformation campaigns on social media to influence the political views of young voters (and older voters as well), potentially impacting the outcome of elections. The discussion raises the need for tools that can help users identify and evaluate the accuracy of information encountered online.
"Can't wait for 16 year old getting their political views off AI tictok videos"
"If they don't deal with social media disinformation, this is going to end very badly for the UK."
Users express frustration with potential government regulations that could limit personal battery storage, likely hindering the adoption of renewable energy sources.
"And now they want to limit our personal battery storage by putting limits :/ I smell lobbyists."
Users express frustration with the lack of a thriving tech industry in Europe, contrasting it with Silicon Valley. They attribute this to over-regulation, high taxes, and a perceived lack of a pro-business environment, which they believe stifles innovation and growth. The discussion highlights a desire for a European tech hub but acknowledges the challenges in achieving it, including competition from US and Chinese tech giants.
"If Europe really wants its own tech industry that is big and strong enough to rival the likes of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta etc then Europe needs to create a pro business environment that allows its own tech industry to grow but Europe doesn’t seem to want to do that and would rather tax and regulate its tech industry into obscurity."
"The regulations are the real issue. People point to taxes but Cali has obscenely high taxes and Silicon Valley is still there. The problem is that Europe puts out so much regulation and is so inclined to put out more that you're just better off going to America where you're less likely to have to deal with that and can still reach the same costumer base anyways."
Users are discussing the legal implications of EULAs, data privacy, and consumer rights, expressing confusion and frustration over complex legal terminology and practices.
"I have no idea how to report them"
"As a european, it's a little wild to me that Americans don't have that same priviledge."
"The fact that there is even a discussion about large corporations being able to take away a product they already sold you is crazy to me."
"Is this website itself not in violation of EU laws?"
Users are expressing concerns about the ambiguity of the term "class-based hatred" in the new law. This lack of clarity leads to worries about potential misuse and abuse by those in power.
"Im all in protecting democracy structures but this phrasing feels like allows rich to punish anyone who hurts their feelings"
"Where the fuck is line in "class based hatred"?"
Users discuss the challenges of staging comebacks in esports, with a focus on MOBA games (like League of Legends and Dota 2) where resource management and snowballing effects often make it difficult to recover from a disadvantage.
"In league you can misplay a team fight but depending on how ahead you are - you can still win the fight based on the sheer stats accumulated throughout the game."
"League of Legends is almost impossible in the sense that you can lose a game at draft and get absolutely diffed the entire time with very little recourse. It's a very brutal game in that respect."
"League is probably the hardest (I haven’t played Dota, but I imagine it’s just as hard there) because once you get better items and vision control, you can choke the other team out of the game (also, draft dif is real, e.g., Kalista and Twisted Fate at MSI)."
"Games where one exceptionally skilled player can basically carry the team eg. CS or Valorant are easier to make a comeback in."
"Assuming pro level only as the premise ..hardest esport to come back in are MOBA/RTS due to how much resources affect your units/hero strength and the the easiest (not that it is easy) would be fighting games because each round or set management or resources is ultimately less dictating the victor than skill."
"MOBA games like league of legends or Dota are the hardest to comeback imo"
Users are expressing frustration about the lack of clear, accessible information regarding the extent of PFAS contamination, the associated health risks, and available solutions.
"Yeah, we don't know exactly how toxic PFAS are now."
"This article is highly pernicous. PFAS are a health risk but are not, and by a wide stretch, "highly toxic"."
"I typed it into Google and thought, 'Wow, this is serious.'"
Users are discussing censorship of media and perceive a decline in democracy. They are expressing a desire to find examples of similar events for context and to understand current events.
"Bring back the underground press"
"This only aired once on SNL back in the 90s and was not easy to find just now..."
The discussion revolves around the challenges of predicting and mitigating deformation (warping, shrinkage, bending) in large aluminum structures during welding. Participants, including engineers and welders, highlight the complexity of the problem, citing the influence of numerous variables (material properties, heat input, welding techniques, fixturing) and the lack of accessible, cost-effective software solutions for accurate prediction.
"No one can currently simulate real world welding deformation. Too many variables for modeling."
"Since it’s aluminum, you’re really fucked."
"Your engineers are shooting themselves in the foot not working more closely with y'all."
"Modeling this behavior would be quite difficult. It could certainly be done, but I doubt it could be done economically."
Users are experiencing issues with controller recognition and configuration within the PPSSPP emulator, specifically mentioning a lack of DS4 controller support and missing settings in recent versions.
"For some reason i can't change sound latency (or a setting like that) on windows anymore, the setting is gone since recent version."
"for some reason, it no longer recognises my ds4. when I put the older version, it works."
Users are experiencing issues importing games on Android due to limitations in filename compatibility with Android's file system, leading to missing games in the import tool.
"Yes we have identified that Android limits filenames to the Windows standards and not the Linux standards (i.e. limiting some special characters in filenames), I guess because some people will mount their Android devices on a Windows computer. The next version of ES-DE will therefore filter out all such characters (colon being one of them) which will make affected apps show up in the game importer so they can actually be imported."
"weirdly a few of my apps dont show up in the importer even if i turn off the only games option. Sonic cd and shredders revenge, but maybe i have shady apk of them lol"
Users express concerns about the EV Charger's range and reliability, leading to hesitations about purchasing the vehicle due to potential for being stranded.
"I actually was seriously considering getting the Charger EV. But the vehicle weight (and subsequently range) and its tendency to brick stopped me. Can't afford to dish out $50k for something that can strand me in the middle of nowhere."
Users are discussing the performance of EVs, comparing them to ICE vehicles, and contrasting different models. Some users express a desire to easily compare features across manufacturers, which is difficult currently.
"I feel like most rental companies limit fuel intake or something to NOT let renters go fast. We rented a Nissan Rogue recently and that thing struggled to hit even 80MPH on a flat road in the middle of Arizona."
Users are frustrated with the lack of clear, consistent, and comparable data when evaluating different EV trucks. The discussion highlights the difficulty in comparing features like range, charging speed, and towing capacity between various models. This makes it challenging for consumers to make informed decisions.
"But the actual product failed to live up to the specs in so many ways that ford and GM are just laughing their way to the bank."
"But so many specs were slashed and it got so expensive that it didn't really compete. 500 mile range, 2.9 0-60, 3500 payload, 14k towing for 70k would have been extremely compelling regardless of the shape. Same with a 40k variant."
Users express frustration with the frequent and unpredictable nature of ICE vehicle repairs, as well as the desire for a way to better understand and manage these costs. They seek a way to avoid the unexpected costs associated with ICE vehicle maintenance.
"I'm sick of taking it to the mechanic over and over again."
"Really tired of the repair shops saying, "this will fix it" and then later the issue reappears."
Users express frustration over the declining quality and increasing cost of electrical components from major manufacturers, attributing it to a focus on profit maximization at the expense of quality and customer service.
"Long gone are the days where Rockwell even answers your requests. Back in the day, there was a rep who’d come by with swag, and show you all of the new products."
"Hot take: every single electric manufacturer under the sun has enshittified everything they sell and it’s a race to the absolute bottom for quality while brand equity is getting torched on the way down."
Users express frustration and depression caused by exposure to negative attitudes and behaviors in the workplace, specifically the constant complaining about family, and the lack of support from older colleagues.
"Yeah I was really depressed for a lot of the apprenticeship because of shit like this."
"These miserable 40-50ish guys , complaining about the ball-and- chain, going to strip clubs at lunch. I was NOTHING like these guys. I resented them, and it depressed me to be around them."
Users express a desire for greater customization options regarding armor appearance, specifically the ability to hide individual armor pieces to achieve desired aesthetics, such as wearing no gloves or shoes.
"Personally, I’d rather have a “don’t show” option for every slot of armor. If I want to look like I’m not wearing any armor then let me."
"I just have outfit ideas I need to fulfil"
Users express frustration with the time spent in dialogue during quests, especially when replaying content or engaging in repetitive grinding activities.
"I'd love a skip all quest dialog option. Speed up the time it takes to do have the grinding."
Users express frustration with the frequency and impact of game updates, particularly how they invalidate player builds, requiring significant time investment to adapt to new metas.
"One update later, 'lolol nope, you all liked this too much, you're doing too much with that, we're taking it all away'."
"Going to have to rework my main solo and group builds and just deal with being weaker. No vet trials, PVP or anything competitive or number-pushing for me. Just a fundamental skill that I've relied on for a few thousand hours getting the treatment because it was designed to boost a relatively-weak class, then given to other more powerful classes."
Users express frustration with the limited inventory space in the game, especially concerning the management of crafting materials and other in-game items. The core issue revolves around the necessity of the ESO Plus subscription (which includes the craft bag) to comfortably manage inventory. The users are specifically discussing a game called Elder Scrolls Online (ESO).
"Crafting and collecting is a nightmare."
"Inventory management is the reason I left the game. I can't really afford eso+ membership and without craft bag the game became a chore than fun."
"Inventory management is already tight with all the gear, sets, motifs, and furnishings."
Users express interest in analyzing character data, such as race, class, and gender, but the existing solution (an add-on) has limitations on the data it can track and does not provide in-depth analysis. Users are interested in analyzing their own gameplay data.
"Sets and skills too? It doesn't track that unfortunately :("
"If you have the data could you post the bottom 3 for race, class, and race/class combo?"
"can i have the addon so i can do my own analysis of certain communities?"
Users express frustration with repetitive quest structures, mechanics, and the feeling of being forced to repeat content across multiple characters to achieve goals.
"I hated the game mechanics of the quest - it became repetitive to do same thing times of 3 4 times in row, but I loved the each wing, the characters and the lore."
"I’m in the middle of the trials right now and *I hate them so much*, but that area was one of the prettiest in ESO."
"Because it was 5 identical quests that were repetitive and overused the same mechanics"
"The whole questline was awewfully repetitive and overly long, to be fair haha."
Users discuss the challenges of applying EQ to individual instruments and the potential negative impact on mix quality. Some users mention that they have experienced issues with applying preset EQ settings.
"I used to look up the proper eq for every instrument and apply it instantly after adding that sound. My mixes sounded very sterile."
"Now I just leave the kick alone. If I notice that the low end sounds crowded when I play my track loud out of my subwoofer, then I’ll try cutting at 25-30hz, but I don’t do it strait off the bat like I used to."
Users are frustrated with how different DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) handle plugin delay compensation (PDC), particularly in Ableton Live, leading to synchronization issues with time-based effects like Kickstart. The discussion highlights that some DAWs, like Bitwig and Cubase, handle PDC more effectively, whereas Ableton requires workarounds like using MIDI or audio triggering to compensate for latency.
"Ableton is stupid and doesn't adjust the delay if you have plugins with latency before a time based plugin."
"One of the main reasons I switched to bitwig was that. Now my oscilloscopes and sidechain and send fx all work with 0 issues"
"Ableton's plugin delay compensation is broken."
"Even FL which was a total lackluster in terms of automatic PDC before is now ahead of Ableton Live. I always have to shift a curve in Live manually, and in FL it just works."
Users express frustration with the quality and suitability of vocal samples available on platforms like Splice, as well as the time-consuming process of sifting through numerous options to find usable material.
"I’ve tried Splice, but honestly had a hard time finding vocals that really fit."
"Same here lol it takes me forever sometimes, so I’ve been looking for other options too but loving the tips in this thread though, super helpful!"
"Splice but I have to scour through LOADS of cringe ass vocals before I find a good one"
"Splice is the best answer I think. I just blew a solid amount of money on vocal packs and even with 3000 odd clips - not many are good (as in, what I want, the quality is pretry good) and without being able to dictate the words it's hard to mash them up in a way that sounds good even as choppy vocals."
Users are discussing automation techniques in music production. A common issue is difficulty remembering what automation parameters do, leading to confusion and inefficient workflows.
"Name your automation clips when you add them and keep them in order 😂... Happens way too often for me and i get confused" what the fuck is this automation? ""
Users are seeking plugins that perform specific audio mixing tasks, like frequency filtering. The discussion highlights the challenge of identifying the right plugin and configuring it, with users mentioning multiple options and setup complexities.
"I didn’t know you could do this with Pro Q4, I’m giving this a whirl today."
"Is there a plugin which analyzes the spectrum on one track and filters out those frequencies on another?"
"Annoying seeing people not answer the question with the exact solution they’re asking for 😅"
"Pro q 4 method seems like a long way to do it. it's really not. I mean, it's not as quick or as easy as the dedicated plugins, but it works and only takes a little longer to set up."
Users are discussing sub bass techniques and expressing confusion around setting appropriate levels using tools like spectrum analyzers and LUFS meters. There is a desire for clearer guidance on how to achieve desired loudness and headroom, as well as how to interpret the readings from these tools.
"I’ve usually got my kick setup so that it peaks around -12 on the mixer. Does that work ok with -4 sub?"
"Damn -4db is louder than I’m used to. I’d like to see what that does to my LUFS and headroom. Thanks for the tip."
"As a n00b myself, could you please clarify what you mean by the -4 dB? Do you mean turn the volume down to -4 on the right hand controls in arrangement view or actually watch to see what volume level results in the signal peaking at -4 in the mixer channel?"
Users are discussing the challenges of mixing multiple synths, specifically the difficulties of identifying and addressing frequency clashes in the mid-range frequencies. The post and comments highlight the complexities of EQ'ing and making informed decisions regarding which synths to adjust to achieve a clear and balanced mix.
"I find it cam be a gray area when it comes to mids and which synth to eq some of those out..."
"Listen for tracks that be competing for space or frequency range"
Users express concerns and frustrations about the proliferation of AI-generated music and its potential to devalue the effort and skill involved in human-made music. They highlight the ease with which AI can create music, the lack of artistic depth, and the potential impact on the music industry, specifically the financial aspects.
"anyone who made music before 2025 was the last un-assisted generation to ever make music themselves"
"I fucking hate that machine learning is being used for any kind of art, it sounds like ass and there's no creativity or emotion in it at all."
"Sad state of the world when ai is making more $."
"The problem with the entry level to making music lowering is that the lowest common denominator gets to feel successful and validated."
Users express frustration with the current job market, particularly the challenges faced by recent graduates in finding entry-level positions. They discuss competition from experienced workers, AI, offshoring, and high expectations from employers. This relates to software developers as there are many junior roles available to start a career.
"As a millennial, right after graduating, it took me two years to find a position in my field and I was only applying for entry level positions that were looking for someone with 3-5 years of professional experience!!!"
"It's like looking at bare cupboards and the only thing that's there is a half a pack of ramen and a can of cream corn lol."
"I graduated in the great recession. Getting entry level jobs my competition was individuals with decades of experience asking for my entry salary."
Users express frustration over the absence of direct links to the original articles, relying on secondary sources, and the prevalence of misleading headlines that generate clickbait.
"Is there some reason that so often posts are made with no link to the article, just a photo and a headline?"
"Why didn't you post that as the post?"
"Headlines like this are almost always clickbait and technically incorrect."
Users are concerned about the declining visibility of smaller e-commerce stores in search results, especially with the rise of AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. They're finding that these tools tend to favor larger brands and marketplaces, potentially leading to a drop in organic traffic and sales for smaller businesses. The discussion explores the need for optimizing for AI discovery and understanding how AI tools interpret and present product information.
"I tried asking ChatGPT about products in my niche, and most of the recommendations were big brands or huge marketplaces with tons of content. It honestly feels like smaller stores like mine don’t even show up anymore."
"We used to be on the first page of Google for many of our most important keywords. Even though we are a smaller store than other search results. Now we don’t show up there and we don’t show up in LLMs either."
Users are frustrated by the increasing shipping costs and the need to find the most cost-effective and reliable shipping options across different carriers, especially with frequent rate changes. They express the need to compare rates and services.
"I hardly used it before last year."
"With these big changes, if you usually ship with Priority Mail you might want to start considering other options. Once these new prices go into effect on July 13th, make sure to use our Rates Calculator to compare!"
Users express that the website doesn't effectively communicate the unique selling points (USPs) of the product, making it hard to understand why a customer should choose it over cheaper alternatives or competitors. This is a consistent theme throughout the comments.
"I don’t see any clear USPS on your website. It’s not clear to me why people should buy from you instead of from The closest competitor."
"From your and some of the other comments here I take away that the target customer, the USP, the benefits of the products are not clearly communicated."
"When I land on the site I think your only product is a hands free dog leash, which I can get at a fraction of the price next day delivery from Amazon."
Users are discussing the challenges of building an email list using popups and other methods without negatively impacting the user experience and brand perception. The core issue revolves around finding a balance between capturing email addresses and avoiding the annoyance often associated with aggressive or poorly designed signup forms.
"I find them to be really annoying too but if they didn’t work people wouldn’t have them on their site…mine hasn’t been very successful so I am trying different triggers and timing to see if I can get a better reaction because all of the advice out there is that they work and we should be using them…"
"Starting my first store and everyone says 'build your email list' but like every popup I see online makes me want to immediately close the tab, I think the ones I've seen so far are very annoying and instead of inviting someone to click on them, they simply ruin the user experience."
Users are expressing concerns about the fluctuating and often high costs of shipping, especially for international orders. The discussion highlights the impact of shipping costs on profit margins and the challenges of finding cost-effective shipping solutions.
"Luckily I got in touch with a small mom & pop shipping company who handles usps/fedex and they reduced my shipping cost by 50-70% so they are my GOAT and have helped with margins a lot. Now I can offer free shipping which brings in customer or in some cases reduce price of item but make $1-2 on shipping by charging customer"
"It’s been okay, sales not going up atleast so i started looking into how i can reduce my expense/cost. In my case shipping cost was always something I had an issue with. Shipping to US was meh/bad but shipping to Europe was absolutely horrible."
Users are discussing the challenges of implementing and managing product bundles and effective cross-selling strategies within their e-commerce platforms. This includes the technical aspects of creating bundles, displaying them effectively, and integrating them with product variations like color options.
"I’m wondering how to add bundles but my hero product has colour options so could get tricky!"
"Do you list the bundles as their own products on your store or do you have a way of creating the bundles with an app or something like a ‘people also buy’. "
"I see a lot of stores including the one i'm working on, make the mistake of not doing enough cross selling."
"It makes my job harder because I have less to work with, literally. I can't do bundles or special deals, basically all I have to use is discounts/sales."
Users are experiencing challenges with the workload associated with creating, editing, and promoting content, often as a one-person team, leading to exhaustion and poor results. The discussion centers on the effort required and the lack of significant returns.
"Totally feel you on this. I used to do everything myself too writing, editing, voiceovers and it’s exhausting when the results don’t match the effort."
"I feel this so much. Being a one-person content team is *a lot...* shooting, editing, doing voiceovers, writing captions, and then still hoping it performs is exhausting!"
Users discuss the challenges of accurately calculating real-time net profit per item, especially when variable costs fluctuate frequently. This includes issues like changing product costs, storage fees, employee time allocation, and the inability to have real-time profit metrics.
"How do you factor in variable costs? You would have to be changing the cost values for every product on a regular basis."
"That granularity could be useful for some businesses or smaller catalogs. This doesn't mean the net profit per item is never looked at, it just isn't on a real time basis or used for this 'net profit per ad spend' metric."
"At a certain point, it's not feasible to keep a real time net profit figure per item."
Users are expressing frustration with the moderation style of the Dying Light subreddit, specifically the perceived excessive censorship of mature content, humor, and discussion related to the game's mature themes. They feel the moderation is overly strict and inconsistent with the game's 'M' rating, leading to a less enjoyable and less free environment for fans.
"Look like the mods want this sub to be official, most of the mods claim to be from Techland. We need a new Dying Light sub to go nuts freely..."
"Fucking hate the pearl clutching by some mods."
"Reddit has really turned into quite the pussy over the last year. Prude af too."
"People wanted to finally have something funny in this sub, after a drought of 'DL1 vs DL2' brainrot. But mods decided to power-trip"
