I think you have this flipped, though. It's more like we hear ourselves all the time, but we don't sound at all to ourselves the way we actually sound. We don't have a sort of internal picture of ourselves to create dissonance with our reflection or photographs in the same way we do with our voices. It's that dissonance that makes us distrust or dislike hearing ourselves as we actually sound because that isn't the voice we identify with internally.

Same. I only go to Reddit for those niche tech topics that I can't find useful info anywhere else. I really want to abandon it wholesale, but Reddit has pretty much completely captured the audience for a lot of more niche topics.

The patching never worked consistently for me, and after I bit I realized that Reddit wasn't a place I wanted to be anymore.

Absolutely. Every other interface was trash.

And the official app and web interface were a port-a-potty upturned into a flaming dumpster.

Same. Being annoyed by excessive ads is a surefire way for me to blacklist a product or company. Particularly obnoxious ads can do it with just a single exposure.

I won't ever buy a car from Frank Lita because of how obnoxious their ads are.

I'm aware. I've been through half a dozen of them and don't want to buy another. An aux cord costs $5 and last practically forever unless you abuse them. My car has built-in Bluetooth, but it has a weird delay and randomly disconnects, mutes, or starts changing what I'm playing on my phone like a remote is pressing buttons.

I bought a USB-to-aux adapter because my current phone does not have a headphone jack and my vehicle doesn't have Bluetooth. I use it literally every day, sometimes for hours. It's utter nonsense that they are getting rid of them.

The Statue of Liberty was at least original. The Daleks have been "wiped out" so many times, only to reappear with either minimal handwaving to explain how, or with explanations that take entore story arcs to explain only to be retconned two seasons later. They are the original 'somehow Palpatine returned'. It's tired. The Cybermen are almost the exact same story.

Some of my favorite Doctor Who moments. I really hope they never bring them back and turn them into generic "villain of the season" like they have with Daleks and Cybermen.

Sounds familiar. I wonder what it is about cider and malt beverages that suddenly don't settle?
