Your "solution" to people buying products they love is "unrestrained ridicule"? Who hurt you that you have such disdain for people choosing to live the way the want? Look inside yourself and seek help dude.

Marketing only works until you get your hands on the product. People love Apple products. No subterfuge required, nor cringeworthy marketing like this: https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/09/samsung-apples-new-iphone-

Weird, I have never played a game with lootboxes nor have I had to even think about avoiding it. Only supports my point that your fear of it affecting you is unfounded in reality. Except I didn't say make your own, I said pick from the

United Polaris hard product is good but the service is a joke. I have honestly had better service in economy on some (Asian) airlines. ANA business class is exceptional in comparison. I would never choose to fly United on that route. My las

You can opt out, but then you do not get to use others' iPhones to find your AirTags. If you want to benefit from the network, you have to contribute, but you don't have to participate at all.

This is all the more reason to state it as a yearly salary. There are only 12 months in a year. You might get 2 extra paychecks but those are bonuses/irregular payments; there aren’t magically 2 extra months in the year.

It’s completely unreasonable to not be able to play audio through your built in speakers in 2022 (or even 2002). The things people will justify to keep using Linux is insane.

At the age that cardinal and ordinal numbers are taught, kids simply don't remember "cardinal" and "ordinal", they remember "one, two, three" and "first, second, third". 99% of the instances I&#x

Monopoly on what? There are not thousands of bakeries in any city. Many towns might have none, or one. In that regard, the bakery will have an actual monopoly on baked goods to people living there.

He tried to change things and was stopped by people actually in power (CEO, the board). Being head of security means nothing if you aren't allowed to do your job. He was also there for less than 2 years. If you read the article, you&#x

Coincidentally, you are seemingly the least mature person in this discussion right now. Speaks somewhat to your “anyone who doesn’t have kids isn’t an adult yet” comment holding little weight. One would expect a parent to have more empathy,
