V as Nothing ambassador cringe galore

I actually like the nothing products so I have their newsletter subscribed but Jesus Christ now they keep posting about V and it's so cringe inducing to read the new campaign stuff.

https://nothing.tech/v-global-brand-ambassador

Like listen to this

"Who got the new Headphone (1) Pro first? A member of the world’s most-streamed band, a platinum-selling artist in his own right and one of the most famous people on the planet."

How much ass kissing is this 😭🙏

And here from the man himself

"I'm excited to be part of this bold new chapter with Nothing. Headphone (1) Pro feels true to how I create, with a design grounded in creative expression. I look forward to our journey together."

Saying this is true to how he creates does he mean plagiarism from other bands or hiring a whole team of people who do all the songwriting for him? We may never know

I messaged them with my opinions about him and BTS because nothing is a company that listens much more to customer feedback than many other brands. Like any time I ever had a technical issue they got back to me in mere minutes. And said they forwarded it to the department that is in charge of these matters. Of course could be empty phrases but my personal track record with them is very positive that they actually do what they say and help a bunch.

Any other person here who shares similar feelings and is a nothing customer feel free to tell them which brand you're not gonna buy anymore in the future. It's such a shame.

Like I'm aware that even if there's major backlash contracts have already been signed they can't just stop the collab without a lot of trouble and damages they are not willing to take. But it still fucking sucks to see someone like this be the new poster child of this company.

Also isn't he ambassador of like a dozen other brands at the same time? What about this is genuine? What makes me as a customer think he actually follows the value the company tries to portrait when he does the exact same schtick with anyone who just shows him enough money? There's thousands of musicians who are not controversial pricks to choose from. Just why?

Love how I feel with my current schedule but university starts again in 3 days

I currently am as happy and productive as ever since I just stopped fighting and feeling bad about being so comfortable to live at night which I've been doing pretty much all my life. It *could* have developed as safety mechanism from my really bad family, maybe not. Who knows?

My current schedule for sleeping is roughly starting 6-9 o'clock and waking up at 15-16 or 19-22 o'clock depending on the day. It's a little all over the place I know, but it works so well! I have a lot of international friends who are easily available during night time to chat and play games. I actually do chores at night which I always skip during daytime and I follow my hobbies more. I also live in a very safe area where I can spend time outside without issues if I wish to do and I typically buy groceries at night too as long as the stores are still open.

Currently I don't have a job but I've been actively searching one for a while and if everything goes well I may even get a job I'm very qualified for that would require me mostly in the afternoon and evening hours which should also work besides university from what I understood 🙏

Currently I love to sew at night. Which is actually more quiet than some may assume at first. Sewing is mostly math, planning, cutting, ironing and thinking while the actual sewing machine takes a backseat. But I care about mine very well and regularly oil it too which keeps the noise down. So far my flatmate or the people living below us never complained or even noticed it.

Another thing that I personally find underrated is baths at night. Since I have to share my bathroom I can't be taking hour long baths during the daytime but night is fair game. It's warm, I have tea, I have cut up fruit, I'm watching my favourite stuff on my phone. Very relaxing very enjoyable. :)))

I'm not even sure what to do about university at the moment. Most of my classes typically happen before noon up until the early afternoon and a lot of them start at 8:30 in the morning. I don't like caffeine because drinks containing it often hurt my stomach so I don't drink coffee or tea to wake myself up in the morning. Plus I don't like being addicted to it. I'm already agitated when I have to be awake during times that don't work for me and imagining to deal with caffeine withdrawal at the same time too is not the way to go.

Been thinking of getting some melatonin to flip my schedule just a little. But I wish I could avoid it.

My friends asked me to teach them some acrylic painting, then suddenly bailed on me, and I waited so long my quick example of different ways to think while painting turned somewhat rendered

I call it "versetzt und besetzt" (stood up and occupied)

But we're gonna have another session today where hopefully no one bails lmao.

Half naked kids on the side of the road with a parent and they are taking a piss - just why?

So I just went to the store by foot to buy myself some food. I am really sick at the moment with pretty heavy cold symptoms so I am already as irritated as it gets. So I was passing over a large crossroad in the middle of my city and I thought I was hallucinating or something because I was bewildered from what I saw. A mom with two kids in front of a local burger place next to a very large public street. The kids stripped naked from the waist down taking a piss right there half on the sidewalk half on a "flowerbed" type of thing for trees. (English is not my first language I'm sorry).

Like I can get that kids can't hold it as long as adults but that the mom decided not even trying to find some quiet corner, some side street or asking one of the MANY restaurants and other businesses around if they can use the toilet is wild. And then just pissing where other people walk and eat. Right next to that spot perhaps only a meter or two away was the outside seating of the burger place. The public toilet situation here is pretty bad there are barely any and they cost money while usually in bad condition but girl 💀 everyone else also manages not to piss on the sidewalk. There are ways. They also had a bike so within 5 minutes you could easily find ANY better spot than what they picked. Now to get to the store I had to pass them and it just felt so awkward. I got better things to do than argue with random people on the street and I especially don't do it when I am sick but I still can't believe what happened there.

Also edit but what was also baffling which I forgot was that it was one boy and one girl and the mom was helping the girl pee at the moment and the boy just stood there staring into the void fumbling around not even trying to dress himself 💀💀💀 why did I have to come across this entire mess today out of all 365 days of the year.

Best way to separate music and audio books? Surfans f20

I've been using the surfans f20 for a while now. I believe 2-3 years or something it's been a bit beaten up during that time but I like it a lot!

Sometimes when I just want to have music playing and don't look for a specific album or musician I run into the issue that my audio books keep getting in the way. I constantly have to skip them once I hear the intro. And I have a lot of them like 80+ at least and I keep adding more. I don't wish to put Rockbox on it since apparently then Bluetooth doesn't work anymore and I use both cable and Bluetooth a lot.

One idea I had to separate music and audio books was to make 2 folders one only for music and one only for audio books but then I loose my folder structure where almost everything is sorted by musician or album or project etc. It's just not optimal.

What ways do you use for this seperation? Or is there something in the metadata etc I don't know about yet?

Does your merch also not have a material composition tag?

(Btw off topic but for anyone curious the Chinese text 我们是团结 means "we are unity" or "we are united" )

Yea sorry for going full Almann here and get all legal but I was wondering. So I bought this shirt at the Frankfurt concert and it's great quality feels good no complaints about it on its own. There was a lot of thought put into this and a lot of attention to detail but I went to check the materials and there was no tag?

In fact there is a leftover of a tag that looks like it's been cut behind the fashion label tag?? I know it's a little narrow in the image but right under the bottom edge of the fashion tag you can see a stripe of it. The tag on the very right cut off in the image only says L for size.

On the website it says 100% cotton but why is the tag missing? I know how nitpicky it is but if you sell *new* clothes in the EU you have to label them with the composition right in the garment. https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/product-requirements/labels-markings/textile-label/index_en.htm

Is mine a fluke? Some manufacturing error? Or do none of the shirts have a material composition tag? Do you have leftovers of a tag or none at all?

How long is the concert duration usually?

Hii I'm going to a concert in Frankfurt am Main soon and it's quite far away from my home so I need to book a flixbus back or I will be stranded for quite a while until the Railway system starts up again for the day.

How long are the concerts usually? :)) I got 2 possible busses back but they go at very different times. So idk which one to book yet. Afaik the concert in Frankfurt starts at 20 o'clock.

Thank you in advance!! <3
