I call bullshit. Apple fans happily take anything Apple pushes down their throats. Even a $999 monitor stand or a $40 microfiber cloth.
Yes every single iPhone owner also bought those 🙄
They also bought insanely expensive airpods because their phone didn't have a jack plug anymore, so now they have fancy wireless airpods but to make sure they don't lose them they buy Apple airpod wires for $45. You just can't make this shit up.
Not every iPhone owner is an apple fan. I'm just aiming at the die hard Apple groupies.
And a $150 !! or $230 !!!! sock
Best cumsock I've ever used
I subscribe to TWiT cause I grew up on The Screen Savers and Call for Help and regardless of what people think of him I still like Leo Laporte, the guy is my childhood. Anywho I listen to all their podcasts and I'll sometimes listen to their weekly Mac one and it is absolutely insane the cult like behavior with these mac fans on this show. Oh they'll complain about the monitors and everything else but will still continue to defend it all by the end. There is one woman on the show that just rants and raves constantly about the dumb decisions Apple makes but openly admits that she'll continue to buy their products.
At least on the Windows podcast the one dude will go ham on Microsoft weekly and I feel is pretty much just on the podcast to make fun of them. Then you have the Linux podcast where those guys just make fun of everything and it's honestly entertaining. Plus they have one guy who is in his 80s on there who is an absolute gem.
Lifestyle brands, amiright 🤷♂️
Career haters just love to shit on anyone who has a preference, and thinks they can boil down an entire group of population with a single pithy comment
You sound like a career hater. We did this ad nauseum in 2007, grow up it’s embarrassing for you
Ah yes, the amazing argument any pseudoscientist uses to prove their wild assumptions and prejudices. The well known "looks like" argument.
I have a very nuanced opinion about Apple and it's users. I'm just talking about the insane Apple fanbase who, while being ass-raped by Apple, continue to defend the company and buy their products. There are few companies with such a die-hard fanbase. I'm not claiming all Apple users are Apple groupies. I'm just aiming at the people who buy a monitor stand for $999 or a $0.02 microfiber cloth sold for $40 which a normal person wouldn't do.
Oh ok cool so you’re just delusional from comment to comment?
Get help, hate ages you real fast. You’re way too upset over this
What xD
Right back at ya mate
@lIlIlIlIlIlIl you sound like someone worth #blocking
Why do you even announce it? Just block and move on, no one cares
Because he has his own opinions and doesn’t jump into the anti apple hivemind?
Please block me too :)
