Not sure if inappropriate but I would like to see Oppenheimer switch roles with Barbie

I remember suggesting using slack to one of my superiors and they're like, "What's Slack?"

There's a movie that was released almost a decade ago and it's still not available in my country. There's no reason for me not to pirate it

What We Do in the Shadows (the movie, not the series). For something more obscure, An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn. Yes, both feature Jemaine Clement

Not to buy a game's merchandise from the other side of the world (shipping price was around the same price if not more expensive than the product itself)

Tried that but none of the gestures include "go back" nor "swipe right" (the closest thing is "scroll right"). Even used a custom gesture as well and that didn't work.

Huh, so that's why Apple stocks dropped

Depends on their needs. If they purely want a phone that fits nice in a pocket, a Z Flip will do. But if they really want the small screen, there are niche brands like Unihertz, which recently released the Jelly Star, a 3" phone with pretty decent specs.

That seems to be the case: Ars Technica, Reddit, even this forum, are in favor of the minis. But the thing is most of us are tech enthusiasts who'd rather use our computers and tablets for a larger screen over the iPhone, so most of the population who would be drawn to the minis are concentrated there.

I find that to be a good option. Unfortunately, given my current needs, the Apple Watch is the best device to meet them, so I'm stuck with the iPhone. And yes, I've researched the Galaxy Watch, too, but app integration and health measurements are considered lackluster compared to the AW.

As someone with tiny hands and tiny fingers, I've been thinking long and hard about this and in the future, when my 13 mini lets out its last breath, I'll probably just go with a regular-sized iPhone and use Voice Control to swipe right and "go back" when I use it one-handed, since reachability doesn't address how I struggle to reach the far end of the screen with one-hand (I even have to struggle a bit with the mini). Sucks that I'll have to use voice control as a workaround, but I mostly bought an iPhone for the Apple Watch anyway.

I'm currently reading Ken Liu, who wrote the short stories that would eventually be adapted in Pantheon (2022).

Yep. I was casually talking about which country to move to for getting a master's in a computer science-related field and I got lambasted just because I mentioned that I graduated from fine arts, despite that I've explicitly mentioned that I was going to move away from that field anyway and that the programs I plan to move to allow undergraduates from any background.

Thinking about making an autobiographical comic but I'm not particularly in the safest position to do so right now

I, too, want a maid to help with my executive dysfunction

The problem is that many medical devices for the disabled and chronically ill are made of plastic. It's why the disability community protested the plastic straw ban, since many of them require to use them to consume anything.

Same with me. Even when the room was brightly lit I would get anxious and would ask a parent to sleep with me just because I was alone, not being able to sleep.

Some of my (uneducated) guesses:

• they're also wellfare state, so they're tight when it comes to immigration
• similar in terms of culture, making it easier for them to agree on which policies to follow. So there may or may not be xenophobia

Which is why fighting for policy changes is important. One of the only things that can stop companies are government regulations

I suppose. but I worry about those who cannot biologically process a vegetarian diet no matter the supplements they take. If they get bitten by the tick, they're fucked
