Why are we OK with thick folding phones, but not with thick no-folds?

i think by “we” you mean the manufacturers? AFAICT they just gave away the game: the push for thin phones was more from the supply side than the demand side. not saying people don’t generally prefer thin phones – just that the preference is probably weaker than has been made out to be.

that said, i think it’s more fair to compare things like cubic volume and weight than just the thinness. a 1/2" thick full-size phone would be uncomfortable in my pocket, whereas a 1/2" thick wallet-sized phone might actually be more comfortable than a traditional smartphone.

crafting a search term has changed over the years though. the old approach of “type 3-5 keywords into the box and get a list of pages that use those words close to eachother” isn’t supported anymore, and the new approach is “type a phrase and we’ll look for things semantically related”.

at that point, the input box isn’t that different from the chatbot box.

oh wow, often these efforts are limited to either a single metro area, or to those parts of Europe that are all well-connected to eachother but scrolling the database i see routes for every continent (i mean, except for Antarctica) 💛

In August, the man allegedly pulled Dalton from her car, which struck and killed her as her assailant drove away.

i’m having trouble visualizing what happened here. she was pulled out of her car, and then her car rolled over her? but it only rolled her over after the assailant had returned to his own car and was driving away?

i’m not trying to be a skeptic: i’m just confused what actually happened.

i know this form has only two boxes but you gave me this pen and there’s some room in the margin so –

hmm, who’s that lady my Aunt plays bridge with each Sunday? Jill something-or-other? she seemed kind 📝

Acchi Kocchi. just two oblivious kids crushing on each other in that “it’s obvious to everyone except them” sort of way. format wise it’s skit based, almost like if Lucky Star had been written to be more wholesome and less crude.

btw, i’d also appreciate recs from any other Acchi Kocchi enjoyers in the thread 😉
