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.
Still one of my favorite political quotes.
I can't upvote this enough. I love limited or mini series for this very reason. There are too many shows that just coast after creating an idea or mystery where even the writers themselves have no idea where it's actually going. These type of shows survive off cliffhangers and shock events and would continue on forever so long as people are watching. I really wish more shows would just end tieing up all loose ends before the final episode. If the show is that great they can start a new story arc either with the original characters or a spin off in the same world. Any show that requires a cliffhanger to keep people engaged isn't great to begin with and will likely end in viewer disappoint. That's just my opinion though.
The only problem is that with your merger $200,000 job you'd have to work for 5,000 years at that wage without spending a single penny before you'd reach even one billion dollars. To be e billionaire now would make your start date 3000 BC which would be around the time the Sumeruan writing system was first used.

Now, it gets worse. If you want to make Elons 46 billion dollar package you'd have to start working your full time $200,000 job 230,000 years ago. This would be the prehistoric stone age so finding a $200,000 a year job would be difficult. Even more difficult would be staying alive while working full time for 230,000 years while you earn the amount Elon wants handed to him.

I think the reason people think having a billion dollars is OK is because they can't do math and don't understand the ludicrously in that amount of money.
All money is fake.
I'm fairly certain this is an old Quake map.
It never said it was a week's worth of groceries.
Their methodology is basically this :
- Find news articles about the company
- If it's a positive article about the company's environmental work, inclusion statements or supports any Biden policies then BAM woke.
- If it's an article about the company donations to election denying politicians, about the company being accused of racism or about Republican donations then it gets stamped non woke.
- Average the results and profit!
I'm not sure how many articles they "find" or how they decide which ones to include but this website is as hilarious as it is sad. Imagine being so afraid of the word "woke" that you feel the need curate a list of companies to avoid.
See the OP's ending sentence for reference.
