Anyone who has worked in retail will tell you this is absolutely, concretely, and vehemently something corporate would expect their employees to actually say to customers, so don't go giving them any ideas...

    The irony of this article being able to quote those comments for us, the humble readers, while the fucking movie studios can't do the same in a court of law is just... so delicious.

    Hmmmm seems suspicious when the “healer” rolls up to a fight dressed in FULL PLATE ARMOR with a mace the size of your head, and a shield blessed with the righteous wrath of the Gods themselves, idk bros maybe this healer isn’t just for healing lol

    Ok, so you listed basically all of their business strategies, which is exactly my point. It’s not a business built SOLELY on proprietary ports and cables, yet that aspect is what gets the most attention and criticism.

    This argument always cracks me up. I have been able to buy cheap lightning cables effectively since they started making lightning cables lol. It’s not like Apple somehow locks the phone from charging, physics is still a real thing and electricity can still flow through them, even without the MFi aspects.

    If you wanna hate Apple for being a massively bloated and money-hungry corporate nightmare, that’s fine, I’m with it, but do we really all think they made it to $3 trillion valuation on… fucking cables??? 😂

    I am absolutely terrible at remembering people’s names, even mere seconds after meeting them and introducing ourselves

    But I most certainly remember their dog’s name and will refer to them as “dog-name’s human.”
