Eh…you can pick any two examples and show anything really.

Ah yes. The ancient ios vs android debate.

They each have their use cases, and I can understand the justification for using either.

My specific threat model (similar to high profile journalist covering topics that expose wrongdoings in high positions of power) has me using iOS, where the cons of being locked in Apple’s walled garden don’t outweigh the benefits of having a robust, secure operating system right out of the box without much setup and maintenance (i.e. Lockdown Mode).

Other folks’ threat models have android on the winning side. It is highly personal, and making grand statements about one being better over the other is childish.

The only other option that I see as more viable is GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel, but I have yet to make the leap. Maybe soon.

I know seriously lmao. I mean I know it’s anecdotal, but I’m in the US and my friends and I constantly criticize the US. Most people I know tend to agree with most criticisms, myself included.

Can you explain?

Ah, I never meant to imply that “all slaves are equally treated just as bad”, thereby minimizing the suffering of others.

Of course some forms are far worse than others. And of course we want to help those suffering the most.

I meant my comment as a solidarity statement. Not the straw man you crafted, apologies for the misunderstanding.

I mean yeah I can leave whenever I want…I can “choose” my master so to speak, but unless I want to starve to death I’m forced to choose a master.

It’s literally just a nicer form of slavery. If you have a gun pointed to your head with the option “choose a master or I pull the trigger”, is that really a choice? I’d argue not.

Whatchu think wage labor is? Companies lease you for your labor, and can nullify the contract agreement (i.e. fire you) at will. If you work for a wage, you’re a wage slave.

Video killed the radio star

It’s satire. And it’s apparently doing its job swimmingly because people are on here talking about it.

Ah! Well I stand corrected.

Edit: looks like they’ve rescinded the ban, at least in MA.

I think their joking.

The poster might both be their own doctor and lying.

What kind of seed is that ?? 😳

No worries- I probably should’ve just left the comment and added a note explaining the misunderstanding on my end.

Yeah we also have friends in our group that have special diet restrictions/health issues they don’t want the while world knowing about where they can’t eat certain foods.

It’s one thing to ask someone to make certain food, then showing up and not eating any. But it’s likely OP’s guests never asked for all of this. So I don’t really see how OP can be upset that his guests didn’t stuff their faces?

Sometimes people aren’t hungry. Or they’re on diets. Or have legitimate medical reasons for not eating certain foods. It really doesn’t matter. I never understood this logic of getting personally offended because people didn’t eat something I made. I don’t give a shit, more for me! Or I can donate it/save it for later!

I did yeah. That’s why I deleted my comment

So I have a friend that sounds a bit like OP.

He plans some event and invites a few people (including myself). I said I already had plans, but would try and make it if my other plans ended early.

Weekend comes around and he prepares a preposterous amount of food for everyone. Like enough to feed a family for an entire month.

My other plans don’t end up ending early, so I wasn’t able to make it. He then sends me pics of all the food that hadn’t been eaten and does this little guilt trippy dance he always does: “my friends and I were really excited to have you join us, guess I gotta throw all this away now”

Like bro…I never said I could go in the first place! And even if I was there, there is no WAY I’d be eating all that food lmao.

I really don’t understand this behavior. It’s like they get a pleasure out of playing the victim constantly.

Not saying this is you, OP. Just wanted to vent a little bit haha
