So many people confuse it with an ‘f’. E.g. search for the word “Jagermeifter” for a good laugh :-)

Psychotherapy can help with hypochondria.
People sacrifice themselves in wars, because they think it's going to improve the chances of survival for their offspring, their extended family, their tribe, their kin, their nation, etc.
Maybe don’t call it a Tolkien adaptation if you’re bothered by Tolkien fans? Just call it “generic fantasy movie with elves and shit”, and Tolkien fans will leave you alone.
My wife’s mother is a lovely lady whose hobby is writing. I won’t say she’s particularly good at it, but hey, let a 60 year old lady do whatever makes her happy, right? Then one day she announced that she won a “contest” with one of her novels, and it’s going to be printed by a publisher! She was super pumped about the whole thing, but gradually it came to our knowledge that she’s gonna pay a substantial sum for this from her pension, because the “prize” was actually just a 50% “discount” on getting her book printed with this publisher…
Clearly, there was no real contest at all. This was just a vanity publisher preying on less sophisticated aspiring writers to part them from their money. It’s a complicated situation, because on one hand we didn’t want to ruin her happiness; on the other hand, she was clearly getting scammed badly… In the end we managed to convince her to go with the smallest possible quantity, which was of course then distributed mostly among family and friends.
Very disgusting and sad practice.

Did your overall calorie intake remain the same?
Pandora's box has been opened.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
Wrong. It was Alfred Renyi.
And what if they don't eat that much? They die or what?
(Although the best solution would probably be to ditch Samsung crap)
I'll start getting concerned when they rewrite any of their serious apps in Swift(UI). (i.e. Logic, FCP, Xcode, Finder, Instruments, iMessage, Mail, Calendar, etc.)
I hope Apple never goes the way Microsoft did with their fad UI toolkits that utterly destroyed developer trust in native Windows development (MFC, WinForms, WPF, UWP, WinUI, .Net MAUI). They are pretty wise for keeping SwiftUI be the "for kids" vanity UI toolkit to lure in React webdevs, while keeping UIKit and AppKit for serious stuff.
The horror!
