Not the content I deserve, but the content I needed.

i think the ire is because Apple fans believe it without questioning it, like flat earth believers being told that by a religious leader.

Sweeping generalization. What percentage of iPhone users are you suggesting that are like this? How would you even prove that? Marketing might get us to try something but we make up our own minds after that. You'd have to be imagining that the people that line up at the stores for days are actually representative of the iPhone using population. They're the fringe. Are most of us not numb to marketing by now anyway?

Even my apple fan coworker is always trying to convince me to move to IOS, for "new" features, and I have to say dude I have been doing that forever, I would gain nothing by moving to IOS and lose a ton of technical abilities where I use my phone like a PC...but people can't be convinced of what they already believe

Sounds like you made the right choices for you and I'm genuinely glad for you for that. Your issue is in thinking your logic should be everyone else's as well. The difference between us is that I also believe the Android fans chose their phones correctly based on what they prioritized. I have no reason to assume that such huge groups of people dealing with limited resources aren't distributed evenly across a spectrum of being discerning and of being frugal. There's hardcore fans throwing money at them that they don't have and on the other side there are people with plenty of money that just wait till the renewal is up and get the cheapest model and don't care much.

Please elaborate while I find some popcorn.

That's more specific than the average criticism, and while valid...why would anyone direct their ire for a company's marketing towards their consumers? I can't even count the amount of time I've heard folks online claim that Apple users only buy the phone for the image and because of their marketing etc. iPhones have been around for 17 years now, and people just like them. The standard complaint is that Apple fans are clueless etc. but people spend all their lives managing limited resources. It's wildly ignorant to assume they can't choose products for themselves. The simple fact is that iPhones are worth the money to the people who buy them, period.

I think it's being pointed out that people who share your experience generally have a pretty extreme lack of awareness which everyone else can easily notice.

An announcement about a new iPhone or iOS feature will inevitably have Android supporters bashing on literally every single person that owns an iPhone, making childish character judgments about strangers.

If an announcement about Android happens though, you do not get a bunch of iPhone users looking to criticize the Android fans at all. We just don't care to go through such a pointless exercise that is willfully engaging in extremely poor logic. It's raw and unfiltered stupidity to generalize about any huge group of consumers solely based on a product they use. Use whatever you like.

Undergrad what though? lol. I don't even know if this is calc, trig, algebra, physics, or just quick maffs. What am I even looking at though?

n/m googled it, but ok, yeah... I'll just stick to saying that stats was hard.

Cruz is like the alien in Men in Black who wears an Edgar suit. I'm pretty sure whatever that is...he's just wearing a Ted Cruz suit.

And he needs sugar.....in water.

I'm not sure why I didn't realize it before, but you just made me realize that if the Palestinians had the upper hand right now, they would absolutely be wiping out Israel. The world allowed this division to foment for too long; our failure to enforce UN resolutions means both Israel and Palestine have set aside the idea that the global community will ever hold Israel accountable. For Israel, that means acting with impunity, for Palestine that has meant taking matters into their own hands, however hopeless that is, because they gave up on international justice. (and rightly so, it's a performative joke)

What's the first thing you do when you try to get two people to stop fighting? You separate them and give them some time and space to calm down, that's not possible here so the two nations are permanently like two boxers nose to nose.

Also, the smartest response to the situation in the picture would be to work together.

But they understood a poster and are thus very smart.

Should be "work intelligently" as well.
