So why didn’t you just say something like Look into Graphene OS or Linux in the first place?
Why did you assume I was "nullifying action"?
Mostly your action nullifying attitude.
I shit on Tesla on a routine basis, and get zero pushback. No bitching about other vehicle producers who also are Trumpdy Dumptys..., zero.
I say don't buy naziPhones, and people come out of the woodwork with every conceivable devil's advocate angle, and basically maximize tangentiality.
Anything other than reinforcing the message of not buying apple:
Be mad at everyone, such that you apply pressure to no one.
You know, nullifying action.
OK, so you had an incorrect perception of a comment, but it's not your fault. No, surely it must be everyone else that's at fault for *checks notes* "nullifying action", whatever the fuck that made-up nonsense verbiage means. not only that, but then your pet attack dog comes along and somehow twists that into me defending pedophiles.
idk, maybe the problem here people is contorting themselves into human pretzels so they can leap to nonsensical conclusions.
I should actually pop back in and look at the thread, instead of just replying to my inbox. I have a pet attack dog? That's kinda neat. I wasn't aware, but neat nonetheless.
My point stands: when called upon to boycott Tesla, no resistance. When called upon to boycott Apple, blow up the conversation into anything but generating momentum for an Apple boycott.
It really is that reductionistic.
