I'm not European, so I can't sign (I think), sharing this is the most I can do; but if you and/or someone you know is from Europe and hasn't signed yet Please do!

EDIT: THE THRESHOLD HAS BEEN REACHED!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO!!!

English is not my main language so this was a significant and funny "A-ha!" moment for me.

They are already absurdly large. I didn't notice the size of my phone until I wanted to do simple gestures like going from the bottom to the top most part with my thumb or trying to type with one hand with the keyboard in its original state.

Before it didn't bother me and I even celebrated it, since the bigger the screen, the bigger the videos and games. But now I realize how annoying it is to use the phone as a..... Well, a phone. And it looks like it's going to get worse with flip phones and other bullshit.

At this rate, "brick" phones are going to come back, and everyone will be "delighted".

The ALICE analysis shows that, during Run 2 of the LHC (2015–2018), about 86 billion gold nuclei were created at the four major experiments. In terms of mass, this corresponds to just 29 picograms (2.9 ×10-11 g). [...] While the dream of medieval alchemists has technically come true, their hopes of riches have once again been dashed.

I mean, we still can't turn a ring of lead into a ring of gold, but this is really neat.

In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely.

Nintendo is Nintendoing again!

These days I have been playing the catalog of the PlayStation 1 and 2 games that marked me when I was young or at the time I couldn't play: the trilogy of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rayman, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, etc.. And I realized that nowadays you practically don't see characters like that in video games anymore.

Just as there was a time when all games were made for children, nowadays it seems that all games are made for teenagers and adults. Even those that don't seem to be, such as Astrobot, appeal to the nostalgia of the more adult public.

What kind of heroes does my nephew have, for example? There's Sonic, and it's something in which we have a connection, but Sonic and other heroes that still remain current, like Mario or Link, are from an era that long predates him and perhaps for him they feel more like a thing of the past, similar to how I feel about Sailor Moon or Mazinger Z, which were heroes of my older siblings and parents respectively.

I don't know of any heroes that are specifically intended to appeal to young people like my nephew, at least not in a "wholesome" way. Much of what he likes was not made with the child audience in mind, such as Five Nights At Freddy's or Among Us; and what does, was made for more predatory motives, such as Poppy Playtime or Garten of Banban. The only thing I can think of is Minecraft and.... I don't know, it just doesn't add up for me.

My nephew doesn't have a Crash, a Spyro, a Sly to be nostalgic about when he gets to my age.

It's a little... Bleak...

Because all the conversation I've seen has been against Trans Women going to women's restrooms. Which is strange to me because, according to the twisted concept of TERFs, Trans men are not men (even though they are), but "women".

Aren't they worried about "women" going into men's bathrooms?
