As the title says, is there a way to make my phone moan every now and then when I get a notification?
iPhone 12 Pro by the way
Mine would be:
1) Proper, fast global variables (especially on the Watch). Which can be set/changed from the import questions or by a Shortcut itself, and have the option to sync across devices or not
2) Option to disable “Ask before running” for all automation triggers
3) Unlimited IF conditions, with as many group-able and/or conditions as you like
Before this update it took a little over a second to run the “Night Mode” shortcut I made that contains only seven different simple Settings actions.
I’ve noticed after the update that it now runs in approximately 1⁄4 second! It is very noticeable and a welcome fix for something that should be quite quick.
Anyone else notice performance improvements in their shortcuts?
I like true crime but I’m sick to death of hearing about grisly murders, and especially grisly murders of women (and children). I love Criminal and I enjoyed Teachers Pet (it was really in-depth and well made and the murder was mainly off-stage), The Ice Woman, There’s Something about Amy, the first season of Serial and many other true crime pods. I’m not trying to make some political point, it’s just repetitive and predictable and formulaic and it’s depressing and a bit sickening to hear about all these dead women. I know it’s reality but I don’t have to choose to listen to it for entertainment.
I guess it’s the investigative and analytical part of true crime that I like best.
Are there any podcasts that are interesting and well-made but less heavy on the gore? Either focusing on crimes other than murder, or fewer/no dead women or babies.
Here’s a link to a picture of the list, since we can’t make link posts here & I’m not typing them all out on my phone

I’m not even subscribed to Reply All anymore, and they’re barely in the top 50. I always forget how much of a bubble I’m in, then I look at a list like this and feel like it can’t be real. You see how high Crime Junkie is? Think about how much money Rogan and LPOTL make. My god, how much has Ashley Flowers made? Good lord, how much money has Ben Shapiro made? I read a list like this and feel so out of touch with podcasts as a whole, yet somehow I’m a superuser listening 5 hours a day subscribed to 250 other shows that are not on this list.
I’m looking for podcasts that play with people’s heads and scare the bejesus out of them. If there are any like this, do recommend them! Fiction/non-fiction are a-ok. Thank you in advance y’all!
Take care and wash those hands :)
The title pretty much says it all
This is kind of hard to explain but I didn’t know if there were some therapy-like podcasts that help you feel/think in a more healthy and positive way and maybe also encouraged reflection? I’m having trouble explaining what I’m looking for, so maybe I’ll edit the post but just generally I’m looking for something with a calm, therapeutic vibe that encourages self-reflection and a certain positive way of thinking
And ideally it would have kind of a “safe” feeling to it
I loved Alice Isn’t Dead (although I didn’t care as much for Welcome to Night Vale).. I’m looking for a fictional podcast that is similar.. or just for any good ones.
(1st don’t judge please)i grew up in a really fucked up country where women is seen as nothing but a S machine, and i want to get me out of that awful view of women, andi want to see them as a human and treat/view them the nicest i can, but i don’t think i can get out of that believe easily i need some other believes to replace it, so yeah, help (it’s better if it’s written with simple words)
Recently, 2 stray dogs in my care died. My boyfriend got COVID and all I could think about was his death (he recovered fully, but I was extremely disturbed by the idea). I even find it difficult to sit through a nature documentary because I don’t want the gazelles to die.
I think at the age of 26 it’s high time I stop being so overly sensitive about the whole thing. Any book that can help me with it?
Essentially, when you are two star crossed nerds living 1700 miles apart, you come up with ways to “hang out”. One way we’ve accomplished this, (other than copious amounts of counting down from 3 to press play on Game of Thrones episodes), is our “Book Battle”. Each of us comes up with a handful of “Themes” or categories that the books must fill.
Some past categories include:
Gillian Flynn Tribute Band [a book like Gone Girl/True Crime/Girl on Girl Violence]
Shot In The Dark [a book picked soley on its cover]
The World is Ending But This Time it’s not Zombies [self explanatory]
Each of us picks a different book for each category, then we read the books and swap. There’s some scoring system which I think is totally rigged in his favor, so I’m phoning a friend via this reddit post to help develop some categories for the next round, and books that would potentially fill them.
We read widely, so please reccomend a category …
title. looking for a book of, i dont know, maybe guidance or inspiration or advice. i don’t have any mentors— i dont get along with my parents at all and im finding that im sort of growing away from all of my friends. so im looking for a book to help me navigate new waters and find joy and relearn how to be silly and have love for myself and fall in love and have hope and just enjoy the little things. etc etc. i feel like im a confused teen again on the first day of high school and was never taught any of this stuff.
for context, one person i find really inspiring in this vein is angela trimbur! though the book does not have to be about a woman, or someone who is young or anything like that. as long as it connects to those themes ill be a happy camper! book about a 50 year old dude, a personal cookbook with little vignettes of family history, multi part novel series, childrens book, book of poems, etc :)
and, no, sadly i do not like the alchemist :( i would prefer …
I really want to quit porn, but it’s really hard. I’ve been able to stop playing games, watching youtube and binge netflix, but not porn. I really need your help.
I guess non-dramatic, kind of off-beat books about the mundane without being monotonous?
