I'm sorry, wtf is "shirts vs skins"?

It's factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.

Me VS how I see myself in the mirror.

Yeah, Nexus phones were great, but Pixel phones are also good. And Android is definitely not "getting worse".

Agree with the rest though.

This is misleading. The models mentioned won't get the latest MacOS update, true, but they will be supported. My older 2016 MBP is stuck on BigSur or something, but gets security updates regularly and doesn't have any incompatibilities so far. I could probably force update it if I wanted to. Apple is known for supporting their devices for longer than other manufacturers.

Apple devices have enough legit reasons for criticism, no need to make up new ones.

The "hand sign associated with StarTrek" is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase "Resistance is futile" is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by "You will be assimilated".

Some unsolicited trivia for you.

Well, originally, the piece is Vizier - king's advisor, the gender of which isn't specified. (but implied to be male?)

Gotta point out, that hasn't been the Microsoft logo since Win7.

Urine isn't sterile, but as long as you like the taste, I guess.

Well, I suppose it makes sense that it doesn't apply to everyone, but my guess is that the majority can still see the fox.
Either way, the simplification of modern logos is a necessity, because they are used in small UI elements, often even appearing monochrome. At which point they still need to be recognizable. Whether they are simplified in a good or bad way, is subjective though.
