  • Lmao apple is the same company that points their heat sink fans at the glue that holds the entire MacBook together. Do some deep dives on their hardware. You only get what you pay for if you pay for the logo, which is the case for most Apple users.

    I’ve had Mac, I’ve had Windows, and I still prefer present day enshittified fucking Microsoft. Apple only “pays off” if you utilize their entire connectivity suite which, spoiler alert, is just as bad an idea as Google-ifying your entire life except it’s also more expensive. MacBook + iPhone + Apple Music + Apple Video + iCloud is the ecosystem they want you to live in, and they put in a ton of effort to make that the only viable option if you use their products. Everything is proprietary, and they control the prices. You think that laptop charger on their site is worth $100? It is to you, because you need it to charge your shit and theyre the only ones who sell them. Any other machine would have the same hardware for $20-$50. People who buy Apple products are a) power users whose idea of computer capabilities is about 15 years old and b) people who buy Apple because everyone else has them. Better products exist. If you think your manufacturer of choice is the objective best at everything it does, you need to stop drinking the Flavor-Aid. I don’t care what manufacturer, but Apple is the worst offender by far of this.

    Cut the umbilical cord. Free yourself.









  • Alright. Try Kimba the White Lion.

    A young exiled male lion cub tries to reclaim the throne of his dead father from a dark-maned usurper who has a scar on his eye with the help of a bird, a mandrill and a warthog. The usurper has comedic relief companions in the form of hyenas and the protagonist’s father appears in the clouds to give him advice. The protagonist confronts the usurper and ends up dangling off of a cliff. A large rock forms the center of this kingdom, there is an elephant graveyard as well as a benevolent king.

    The above paragraph describes both Kimba and the Lion King


  • As someone who just tried to get a hotel near a concert, it won’t work like that. The hotels know there is a show in town and price accordingly. When I tried, rooms that were typically $75-$150 per night were at $400-$1000 per night. I’m talking Hilton and Marriot all the way to econolodge and motel 6, all raised their prices by 5-10x. Anything I found that was decent was an advertisement for a general price. Then you try to reserve and they say “Oh you wanted it for THOSE nights? The price is $700 a night for those nights.” Even though I clicked on $125 a night search results. This was 8 months before my stay, within a week of the concert being announced.

    Ended up renting an RV for 4 days and parking it at a cheap rv place. Still cost over a grand after everything.

    The rates you mention are… ridiculously foreign to me. I cannot even conceive only dropping half a grand and having somewhere to sleep for a whole week. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but not near me for damn sure.









  • They hear the word and they think of misandry, primarily because so many misandrists think they’re feminists and very loudly proclaim so. The problem is, the more you try to convince them feminism isn’t what they think, the more they tune you out because if you talk about feminism so much, you must hate men enough to dole out your own hatred as payback. Which is exactly the preconception you’re trying to address.

    Idk, maybe feminism just needs a good ol’ rebranding. I think it would at least win over a lot of the under 50 crowd.


  • Haha while I agree with you on a lot of what you said, I was more restating your response than asking you personally. But I do enjoy the insight.

    I think empathy is the only way we can survive. Intelligence got us here, but it won’t keep us here. If we want to survive, I think we need to use empathy to temper our ambitions. Otherwise, the people in charge will end up ruling over a smoking mountain of shit.

    Also, it was asked 6 (7?) days ago. Maybe your client has a delay of some kind? At least that’s how it looks on my end. I’m using Boost if that means anything.
