Eh, the glass on the front of our phones is also called Ceramic Shield. It's Apple's fancy words vs. common sense. Glass is glass. (Edit: well-- it comes from "ceramic nano crystals embedded in the glass matrix" but it still scratches like glass so) I agree to an extent. I read someone else's post that said the Pro lineup feels similar to that of the Apple Watch Ultra. Perhaps they're going with that approach. If that's the case, I'm glad I upgraded "early" from the 14 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max. I want my phone to look classy, I'm simply not getting that from this lineup.

I can't get over the ugliness of the 17 Pro/Pro Max. My main problem is the weird glass "patch" on the back. It doesn't have the best color match to the aluminum unibody so its becomes more of an eyesore. It looks cheap. Then there's fanboys defending the design saying "it has to be aluminum to allow for vapor cooling" or "the glass is there for wireless charging"... Like okay, but they could've came up with a better design. Just take a look at Google. They were able to have both features while staying true to their previous design.

Mandy has always been the one needing rehab. Her issues have been ongoing since AT LEAST 2013. It's ridiculous. So glad Selena fired her back in the day. Now, she just needs to stop giving her handouts. Maybe it would prevent unnecessary controversies such as this.

He also doesn't know a lot more common, non brain rot things (movies, tv shows, music artists, etc.) due to how he was raised

It's a new week! That means it's time to give Red Velvet their praises yet again

I'm so obsessed with the way Annie pronounces her Rs in her post-chorus section of Famous. It's such a nice contrast to Bailey's as she doesn't pronounce them.

My top 10 most streamed kpop songs of all time, according to Apple Music: 1. Next Level - aespa 2. Step Back - GOT the beat 3. After Like - IVE 4. DICE - NMIXX 5. POP! - NAYEON 6. Birthday - Red Velvet 7. LOVE DIVE - IVE 8. Feel My Rhythm - Red Velvet 9. O.O - NMIXX 10. Talk that Talk - TWICE 2022 was kinda major for me I fear... HM: Umpah Umpah - Red Velvet was #20

I just tuned into fromis_9's latest MV. It's SO nice to see the girls be fully supported by their label. It's such a cute video with some really fun shots. I also really enjoyed the song as well. I hope the girls have an amazing future (and feel appreciated by their company). I'm excited to see what ASND has in store for Wendy now.

JEONGYEON revealed that the TWICE solo songs that were teased today are not included in the full album. It's being speculated that they'll be used as digipack exclusives (and performed on tour).

Baby DONT Cry's release is cute, nothing really to write home about. I liked Cravity's title as well, their tones are very nice. I can appreciate the nice, subtle switch up from their previous titles. Still have to tune into the album. I was hating on Wicked when the snippet was released but it works well after hearing it in full. I still much prefer Famous though.

who remembers

I recently started therapy for the first time. I also studied clinical/counseling psychology in college. Having said that, I do believe therapy may not be the best tool for everyone. I personally have mixed feelings about it. I'm leaving sessions dissatisfied because I'm paying for information I already know. I don't like the idea of "therapist shopping" looking for your best match. I'm also very self-aware but I struggle with intellectualizing my emotions. With the therapist I have now, I don't really care for him but I live in a town where my options are limited. It feels like I'm stuck with him. Yet, in every session, he attempts to diminish my experiences/feelings. It's frustrating. I've barely seen him but we rushed directly into EMDR at my most recent session. I simply wasn't ready for it. That method isn't going to work if the client is unprepared, much less if the client is uncomfortable. It sucks because I was taught about the wonders of therapy in college but I just don't see it for myself.

Summary of my thoughts lately: - I'm so TUNED in for ALLDAY PROJECT, stupid name but I'm very excited for this group, the wait to have Famous on streaming is terrible. - ILLIT doesn't really do it for me anymore. I absolutely loved their debut mini but their recent mini doesn't impress me. I don't really care for the title at all. - Some groups have turned sour for me mainly bc of their fans' behavior. Particularly with LE SSERAFIM (love my IZ*ONE girlies DOWN tho) and ILLIT. - So glad Fromis_9 got out of that horrible company, I'm sat for their upcoming comeback. - aespa is going to give it to you every. time. REAL BAD BUSINESS THAT'S DIRTY WORK

Girl, snooze... These arguments are so tired, can y'all at least come up with new material? Let's not resort to extremes in an attempt to defend said argument either, it's not helping you.

Selena, especially after she disowned Revival's cover and replaced it with the standard cover on it's 5th anniversary.

Eh, they can do what they want. The only people who seem to actually care about such things are stans. The general public could not care less. Of the bunch listed, Selena's debut is the most popular BY FAR but it makes sense why she doesn't include it. Dropping the band would make Stars Dance her debut album, yet she was still under Hollywood Records. People give her **** all the time for "restarting" her discography with the release of Revival under Interscope but it's simply new label = new her. The same can be said for Sabrina, especially with the rise to fame she experienced with Nonsense & EICS with it kind of culminating with the release of SNS.

I think this is why kpop is appealing to me. They're constantly releasing music (1-3 times a year at least). With western artists, it's so tiring having to listen to the same material while waiting years for their next era. I also think artists aren't able to "stretch out" eras as much as they may think nowadays especially with the streaming era. Music videos simply don't attract people anymore.

think piece after think piece... who cares

I think it's just their targeted audience that may lessen their appeal for me. I'm 23 and I also actively listen to kpop, which is no stranger to having very young members (2008+) in those groups. Take Olivia for example, although we're the same age, I think her image/style is catered more towards teens so I don't really enjoy her music. However, Tate is probably the youngest artist I listen to and her (recent) image/style is far more "grown" compared to her peers.

1. GNARLY 2. GABRIELA 3. GAMEBOY 4. MEAN GIRLS 5. M.I.A.

We need to be patient regarding the deluxe. Rare was released on January 10th. The Bonus Track Version with Feel Me was released on February 28th. Deluxe was released on April 9th. If we don't get an announcement within the next three months, then we can start to complain. Besides, she's currently in the midst of filming and won't be able to promote it. Edit: some of y'all complain that her album eras wrap up after one week but how can we have an ERA if she releases the deluxe two weeks after the standard and goes back to filming?
