  • The reason you may not have received the reception you expected is because your POV comes from a deep well of privilege. Clearly you recognize they are shit people, so why?

    You are making a choice to validate your parents’ beliefs, to expose your own family in their formative stages to those beliefs, and to the detriment of your own friends, for money.

    That’s fine. Nobody’s telling you to give it away. It’s yours by law if they choose to give it to you.

    But to then go and complain about voluntarily eating some poop (so to speak) for financial independence later - to people whose entire lives are defined by how they are treated by people like your parents with nothing at the end but more discrimination, is a bit… liberal.


  • Yep, I don’t give a shit about AirDrop or even use the ecosystem. Just iPhone and AirPods.

    iPhone because I am a discerning consumer whose current life needs fit it better. AirPods because they are best in class for iPhones (yes due to anti consumer policies). In college sure I customized the heck out of my androids.

    Now I just want something that runs fast and reliably browses the internet. AdGuard takes care of the rest.

    I used to buy proper Samsung/LG flagship Androids and absolutely loved them for my needs at the time. But every single one went to complete shit after 2 years. Huge battery drain, slow and unresponsive, no updates.

    My iPhone is 3.5 years old, still blazing fast, battery drain consistent with degradation, still getting updates, still no need to get a new phone.

    This entire debate is literally the bell curve soyjack meme lmao but I had fun typing at least!
