I have no idea how this happened but if you look up “first world problem” on Merriam-Webster dictionary the entry uses a quote from one of my old ass articles as a sample sentence. Bruh.

@madison_tayt Your beef should be with your boss and your country's outdated, nonsensical tipping system. Tipping doesn't exist anywhere else. To get mad at visitors is you being petty. Also sitting 90 mins vs 50 mins didn't really add that much to your work. Calm down

The Xiaomi 14 Pro has those iPhone-like wide frames so its overall shape is "body" but the screen still curves subtly on all four sides so you still get rounded edges. I really like this. Makes completely flat panels like Pixel 8 Pro feel rough.
