Once every year or two I'll pull up the song that I attempted suicide to and cry my eyes out for a while. It's good to flex your emotions in a controlled space. Helps keep you well rounded, IMO.

I mean, fake tweet or not, it's made up entirely of words and phrases he's been barfing all over us for several years now. Each of these sentences individually have been tweeted by Trump multiple times.

Of course. Backwards compatibility for Nintendo died with the original Wii. That's almost certainly never coming back.

Sure, that's fair. And you might have had good parents. But that does not always generalize.

Aesop fans in the wild? On MY Lemmy?

It's more likely than you think

For legal reasons I am required to inform you that I am not a financial advisor. In fact, I am not real.

This is good advice. Most people aren't weird enough to be happy. Pay attention and you'll notice most of the super weird people, that project their weirdness and wear it openly, are pretty joyful people. They have shed societal expectation to simply exist as they wish to be.

Now there is a balance there, too far in that direction and you sometimes end up unemployed and homeless. But hell, even most van hippies are pretty happy people. You've just gotta find where your own balance is on the scale.

Now you have the time to actually write up a design document and let your half-baked idea become a fully cooked one before you drop a bunch of cash on it

It isn't a waste if people buy it. Putting M4s in the iPad lets them market it to rubes who think bigger number is better without reading the spec sheet or understanding their own requirements, and if they're already manufacturing M4s to put in other things, that's one less production line that needs to run. Sure, they could release an iPad Cheapass Edition with an M1 in it and sell it comfortably at a profit for like $80, but the market for those is likely to be small, they won't make nearly the overhead profit that the M4 iPad will, it requires an entire extra production line setup, and most importantly it isn't flashy enough for Apple. They don't want to release a product that feels cheap, even if it was specifically intended to be cheap. It's bad brand optics and they care about that a lot. Let China sell a bunch of bootleg tablets to people that want them, they're gonna do that anyway regardless if Apple gets in the train or not, and this way Apple isn't tarnishing their product lineup with a PoorPad^TM

Yes but prior, pre-existing anti GW sentiment has ground to stand on. They are not consumer friendly.

I saw the non marriage related choices they made when I was a kid. Like hell I'm letting them choose my life partner. You're assuming all parents are rational and efficient, when many, even most of them are not. They are also just people, as prone to mistakes and bad choices as you or I. If I'm getting handcuffed to a bad decision I'd like if it was at least my own bad decision.
