Maybe I'm still just waiting for the morning caffeine to hit, but I don't think that first sentence has any business using a comma.

Reminds me of the pettiness during the aftermath of the class action because of the Nexus 6P battery problems. Google/Fi suddenly lost all records of my support tickets, my having purchased the phone at all, the warranty replacement they'd done, etc.

Fortunately, I keep meticulous records and still had a phone that powered down at 60% battery, so recorded a video of it as evidence and got my payout. Severely tainted my impression of Google/Fi though. Neither the faulty hardware nor the shady practices are surprising at this point.

They identify with a political group who's primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.

This could also apply to a party built entirely around the Limp Bizkit song "Hot Dog," I believe.

It goes hand in hand with the devaluation of education and expertise.

Another excellent point of hypocrisy, in my experience. There's a massive (complete?) overlap between people I know who think "no child left behind" is a good thing (despite making high school diplomas, effectively, participation trophies) and people who think a high school diploma should be sufficient education qualifications for any job.

I don't understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions.

Because it's simpler. Actions are many and have complex chains of reactions leading to various outcomes.

Meanwhile, after the election he literally said "I'm going to fix everything now." Simple, easy, and something objectively positive. Like the other comment pointed out, this isn't a decision arrived at by thinking about things.

Of the people I know, this goes well with the self-centered worldview (e.g., things finally click once they're personally affected).

Participation trophies in sports are bad, because they're good at sports which makes them feel superior. Thinking shouldn't be competitive though, because they suck at it.

"I like his policies, but..." gestures at brown people

It's odd to me that they're so focused on an arbitrary number but didn't just go ahead and make it an even million.

If Xbox execs were good at decision-making, there wouldn't be so many laid-off workers to begin with. Let's replace them with AI. Even if the chatbots aren't any better, the cost savings might at least prevent a few layoffs of positions with less bloated salaries.

Nobody's ever become a billionaire by believing there's a such thing as having enough.

Wouldn't it be better at that if your top-level comment contained the information directly instead of a question that may or may not go unanswered?

It's not on Android because they couldn't do it without collecting some info. Seems like mobile-first web site would have been the obvious choice.
