All those taxes we pay to antifa and what do we have to show for it smh

I completely missed the top of the graphic and was thinking 3 goals is pretty good.

Jesus Christ.

Watching MLS last night and kept thinking that man, there’s just that lack of quality to finish around the top of the box, and then you see one like this 5-10 yards out and I’m like…yup.

I shorted them hard once. They stayed solvent longer than I could.

I use their phone app. I sure have a weekend chore to get the fuck off that app.

I got a 15 pro this year. This is my first apple phone.

I agree with your Android "struggle" list completely and would add that every single model I ever owned (especially the Google phones) had some unbelievable hardware issue that made using the phone a maddening experience. From calling that wouldn't work at all to black screen on wakeup that wouldn't go away, every time I bought a new phone it felt like the timer had begun on finding what new exciting awful hardware bug was going to present itself and whether Google would warranty replace it.

I agree with most of your iphone revelation comments. Face ID is miles better than anything I ever experienced on Android. Look and feel is definitely better. The audio switching is as easy as it gets. Carplay is... fine. I don't like the work flow better and some of the decisions are weird when moving from app to app within apps, but I'm used to them now and don't see them as often.

What I disagree about:

  • Shortcuts is a shadow of what I could do with Tasker. It's like eating baby food after having a Michelin rated meal. It's fine. It's not the end of the world and Shortcuts covers the use cases of most things, but man it was jarring to see what it couldn't do when compared to Tasker.
  • Apple Maps sucks and boy I've tried.
  • Comparing emulation is crazy talk. There's a billion emulators available on Android and Apple doesn't have what Android had a decade ago.

What I like about apple that you didn't mention:

  • Integration of apple stuff: it all works out of the box as you'd expect. This wasn't always the case with Android and having it all just work is pretty great.
  • Apple stores are cool for getting stuff fixed quick. Kid broke their screen and we had it swapped in an hour. No calling around to see if my local shops had my Android phone screen in stock.

What I hate about apple that you didn't mention:

  • No custom launchers. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT. I can't believe people put up with this shit.
  • Apple people and their obsession with text messaging using the Messages app. My god, texting has always sucked and apple people still use it.
  • I miss Fdroid every single day. Sometimes I don't need a super slick app with a subscription for some simple thing. I just need a little app that does a little thing.
  • EVERY APP IS A SUBSCRIPTION FOR GOD'S SAKE EVERY SINGLE DAMN ONE

I worked for a city government in sewer automation inspections and I wouldn’t take a coffee from contractors because I wanted it crystal clear who I worked for. We can be friendly but if you go off spec then that’s the end of the conversation.

How the fuck this was ever allowed is shocking.

We’re doing a solar install and we refused Tesla batteries solely because of Musk. I won’t have his shit in my driveway, powering my home, or in my social usage. He’s fucking cancer.

Shame this poor guy wasn’t born into a family with an emerald mine or he could have exploited an intrepid young worker just like himself.
