I like Google tts. I tried Samsung’s one and I just couldn’t find a good pitch/tone that I liked from it.

This is why I said that I am going to be controversial.
Text to speech is only going to be better with time.
My most important preference is to have the text delivered without reader bias towards its contents. And that’s only possible with computer speech.

I use moon+ reader pro on Android for text to speech.

I’m going to be controversial.
I think the best audiobook is text to speech.
I prefer to not filter any stories through an other person. I want the raw data from the book, without any other feelings and impressions added to the original.

It is escapism. Romance usually has very few things that’s real. I mean that most romance stories are more alike to a fairytale than reality.

Most movies and books are 98% predictable with the well-known cliches. And that makes them work. Beig wealthy is just an other thing that makes it going.

Most girls were raised on the price charming idea, and a rich, wealthy and emotionally available person fits the bill.

Reality of barely making rent and having no money to fix your car or even just daily struggle to find childcare for a date would break the dream.

When you are watching romance you want the fuzzy feels, the safe environment that everything going to be alright and happy ending is guaranteed. Love, money, heath and safe environment - with tons of loving friends and family - now that’s what people want to dream of.

I think once I saw a web browser that made websites look like its code. So you were looking for bugs while browsing.

I have a beefcake laptop, that could fold into a tablet. But I still usually use it as a desktop computer: connected to all the periferials, speakers and a monitor, folded up to be a secondary monitor on the side.
While I had some cooling issues with it (had to cough up couple hundreds for repairs) I am still happy with the setup.
The phone is for during the day, some mobile only games and for reading books - tho I do like to listen to TTS when my eyes are busy.

If you want to wear a necklace or - anything - you should just do it.
I know it’s hard to believe when you are still young, but when you are wearing somersetting YOU like, it will make you happy. And a happy person is attractive.
It’s just a plus that any chosen accessory will attract people who have the same taste :)

And this is why I only buy already dying / discounted plants. Less guilt that way. :)

It’s not my type of game, but I love the whole idea of it.
I hope it will be a good and successful game! :)

Looks like an ai-generated image :D
Finan boy for sure!

You are swallowing that saliva during the day. Usually we make 0.5 and 1.5 liters daily (for us measurements 2 to 4.2 cups). And that needs to go somewhere. And it is very important part of our oral hygiene too.

Honestly I just blocked those posts. It did make my experience better.

I rarely remember movies, but this one was a doozy.
I don’t know if its really a horror movie tho. Disturbing for sure, but not scary.
Very memorable, even if it wasn’t all great in other ways.

Those “cheap” Asian EV’s look like bare bone vehicles. But you get what you are paying for.
For once I wouldn’t suggest to buy an old first gen EV. They are unpredictable, and have a lot of different issues.

It doesn’t ring the same, at least for me.

The saying is hard to translate to English:
They can’t see the forest behind the tree - that they were stuck on looking at.

An other one:
They can’t find the udder between the horns.

Found the original picture. Have fun!
(I accidentally saw the solution to it - meh :D )

To add to the ‘canned answers’ here is one more:
As non medication, Magnesium has a muscle relaxation effect. With a big cup of water before going to sleep it could help falling asleep. (Tho make sure you are using the right kind of magnesium pill that actually gets absorbed into the body)
