I got the Pixel 9P for this reason. It’s actually notably smaller than the previous models.

Astrology daughter might have her heart in the right place but she’s still stupid, and her prejudiced woo-woo beliefs are going to end up hurting people.

Exactly. I see no evidence in the article that this is a trend - that seems to be a naive interpretation by the reporter. They’ve just confirmed something that has always been true.

The good thing that will come of this is that Mark will understand why they should never spend time with his dad again

I would make quadruple sure that Mark has no traces of that part of the gene pool

I’m Swedish. I just assumed everyone else was American. This story seemed to be par for the course.

Let me guess: the dad is a republican

But by including that you imply that there is a causality relationship. You didn’t share his hair color even if that would also be more descriptive.

Yes I uploaded the image and asked it the same question as OP
- Comment on Ok, some nerd please explain the switches on this IRL calculator app 5 weeks ago:
Some guesses by ChatGPT:
Left Switch (“K” setting):
- K: Likely for a “constant mode,” where the calculator uses one operand as a constant for repeated >calculations (e.g., multiplying several numbers by the same value).
- The other position is likely “normal mode,” disabling this feature.
Middle Switch (“A/Σ/4/6” etc.):
- This could control decimal rounding or precision:
- “A” might stand for “automatic” mode.
- “0, 2, 3, 4, 6” refers to the number of decimal places displayed or used in calculations.
- “F” likely stands for “full precision,” using all available decimal places.
Right Switch (“Σ” setting):
- Σ: Likely enables a “summation mode,” where the calculator automatically adds results to a running total (useful for bookkeeping or repetitive additions).
- The other position disables this mode.
Being Swedish the “constant mode” seems likely as we often used k (for “konstant”) in school math to represent a constant (e.g. for the slope of a line).

The “right answers” are pretty shitty too. I would say all substances are excitations of the fermionic fields.

How old are you? Of course women understand the joke. You should try hanging out with them.
- Comment on What's your favourite it's all in the gameplay game? 2 months ago:
Such a lousy multiplayer game though. It was designed to give the better player handicap so their lead only increased over time, since you were awarded with more lemmings for the next level if you won the previous one.

- Comment on Technology Connections: MP3 CDs 4 months ago:
I found that the most impractical thing with these was that the user interface for selecting songs was typically “you have 200 songs and I’m gonna play them in sequence, if you want a particular song you must skip ahead until you hear it”. It worked for a 12-track audio CD, but felt like an underdeveloped toy feature when used with MP3:s.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but Subnautica slowly builds on a primal fear without resorting to jump scares. It’s increasingly unsettling and you start finding excuses to just stay in your habitat to decorate instead of going outside.
Life is strange has elements of it (think Butterfly Effect: the game) during parts of the game, although it gets pretty explicit rather than subtle.
Oxenfree also has elements of it, with people behaving weirdly etc. But it also mostly gets fairly explicit. Still, no jumpscares.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 4 months ago:
You know what? I don’t care and I stopped reading this article after one paragraph because I found that I couldn’t be bothered to go on. During the reddit exodus I was pissed off about how they would ruin something good, but I’ve long since lost interest in what happens on that site. Honestly I was a tiny bit surprised that it still exists.
