Technically Google Pixel, because of GrapheneOS. Realistically I don’t have a single mobile phone brand that I like

Not as expensive as some of the other comments here but

Around $70~80 for the cheapest steak at a medium- to high-end restaurant in Chicago. Worth the experience and I bet most ppl would have loved it, but that’s how I found out I don’t like steak…

The second most expensive restaurant I’ve been to (averaging $40~50 per entrée) was legit amazing though

My work account once got placed on a biotech mailing list so there’s that

Outside of work accounts, I don’t think the algorithms think I exist lol. I use adblockers everywhere, and the only site with real ad-targeting I routinely use is YouTube… which I exclusively use on private windows while logged out, and with adblockers as well. Mayyybe YouTube/Google thinks there’s a weirdo Japanese weaboo (which is only half-correct) living around the vicinity of my house based on my IP address, but that’s pretty much it

More often than I’m actually wrong

Which… is a problem. I think I learned to do this in order to not offend bosses, might have something to do with my field of work…

Rhythm games, both in general and in terms of my main game. Don’t think I can recommend it to most people though

Got into it… partly because osu was popular when I grew up, partly because I listened to a lot of “rhythm game music” growing up. This video game genre also always resonated with me quite well, I love extremely challenging video games so there’s that

Reason I couldn’t recommend it… First of all it is not an easy hobby to get into outside of Asia, and because of this finding a community (even for really popular games like maimai/CHUNITHM) will be tough. Secondly because of the first reason, getting into rhythm games outside of Asia can get expensive, between arcade visits and homecabs and all. It’s also somewhat of an extremely all-encompassing hobby that leaves little room for one to do anything else. Finally there’s a pretty significant risk of injury especially at higher levels, I’ve had a bone fracture before and several ppl I know have had serious injuries, despite the fact that there’s little to no “payoff” (such as for-profit tournaments) like most sports

On the plus side, stomping it out on DDR/ITG (the latter much more accessible) is a really fun way to do cardio!

Just VLC. I don’t stream music and most of the stuff I listen to have no lyrics so it works fine as-is
