Approximately

Math is supposed to be exact. 2 + 2 = 4. Not "around 4". Not "maybe 4ish". ≈ is the shrug of mathematics.

It's a wavy equals sign, literally bending the truth because it can't handle the precision. It's the symbol of "good enough" in a world that demands perfection.

If you don't know the answer, just admit it. Don't hide behind squiggly lines pretending you're close. It's weak. It's non-committal. It's bad vibes.
