I feel seen.

Paralives is still going strong! It’s looking like it will be strong enough of a competitor to actually influence future sims developments.

I think I might actually remember your comment!

You’re able to turn yours off??

My experience as well!! Maybe it’s not 100% accurate but it works well enough I can use it frustration free. Definitely hasn’t gotten worse. My only complaint is since the ios 17 update it randomly switches back to the default keyboard until you close and open the text box again but that’s not a predictive text problem.

I had a similar experience as well. I exclusively used android for over 10 years until I starting having to replace phones yearly, sometimes even more frequently. After I had to take my pixel 6 to the repair shop for the 4th time in under a year I bought an iPhone 14 and couldn’t be happier. Everything works so much more smoothly and it all just makes sense.

Are you implying liberal spaces deal with more toxic masculinity? Because that’s sounds more like conservative spaces to me. In my experience men are much more welcome to be vulnerable and talk about their feelings in liberal spaces. If you can’t find liberal spaces “where a man is completely free to open up, with full liberty and freedom from immediate consequences” I can’t help but wonder if perhaps you and your options are the intolerant ones. Tolerance can not support intolerance and liberal spaces can and should reject intolerance.

I felt the same way but ended up going with a volvo anyway because Chinese Investment or not, the company does at least try to make an effort to be more safe, ethical, and sustainable. Given the alternatives I made the decision that volvo was still the right car for me.
