Insurance transition from protection against highly unlikely emergencies to our default payment system is the biggest scam in world history.

Maybe he just wanted to be chocked. He was definitely asking for it.

Do they sell XBox’s there by chance?

This we can agree on.

See the OP’s ending sentence for reference.

No one is shitting on other people’s choices. They are criticizing a major corporations choices to skimp on specs while charging a premium price. Specs that can’t be upgraded and will absolutely lead to a shorter usable life. I find it odd that people get upset about criticism that isn’t aimed at them at all. The only thing I can think is maybe they realize they were ripped off after putting so much money into Apple products and they need to defend their financial decisions. Even then I don’t fully understand. I’ve purchased overpriced junk many times and don’t feel the need to defend the offending company. Maybe it’s because Apple has managed to make their customers feel like they’re in an exclusive club even though everyone uses Apple products these days. A publicly traded company is around to make money and nothing more. They should never be held in reverence.

If you choose to be a weak little quiet corporate Stan then that’s up to you. Apple is well aware that third party apps exist and they’re well aware that machines with less ram will need replaced far sooner than machines with more. RAM is cheap and Apples intigrated memory is no different in the regard. The only reason to use less is planned obsolescence. If you don’t believe that then you’re either Tim Cook or you’re an idiot.

I just found out the lady who cuts my dogs hair is a groomer. You just never know who you’re dealing with I guess.

All money is fake.

It never said it was a week’s worth of groceries.

Very true otherwise it can’t wag. That’s tail attachment 101 right there.

I need it for personal protection.

When you call someone it was normal for someone else to answer and you had to be careful because they could be listening to your call.

I use Arch and only use Vim or Emacs for config files. That’s Linux flex culture right there. 🙂
