    You're misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn't call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

    Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren't liberals they're "neoliberal". Whatever that means.

      Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?

      Nah but it's total shit, IIRC it's mid-tier specs not even flagship. Idk why you'd want to put your name on a mid-tier phone... 🙄

        Assuming that’s a 5lb paper weight base, is that ~250k$ worth??

          I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

          I'm going from Android to Apple soon, because I'm finally totally over all the present day Android BS. Good luck, have fun.

          Word to the wise: don't buy anything less than a flagship. Older flagship if you're wanting to save some money. Samsung is best. I've played around with all kinds of mid-tier Androids & it's a frustrating experience. The phones just don't work well for long. Motorola sucks ass, don't even bother.

              The latest cool things they have done: they've stopped being whiny little bitches & made their iPhones USB-C, with pressure from the EU. They've finally adopted Google's RCS messaging protocol, which should allow Apples & Androids to play nicely together in texting.

              Both of these things were massively overdue; they were being arrogant & childish for years...

              Last but certainly not least: iPhones 15 & up (I think) have FREE "satellite messaging". If you're out in bufu & you've got no signal, simply put your iPhone out with a clear view of the sky...and your text messages will be relayed, received via satellite. This is a safety feature, not everyone knows it's a thing, and personally I think it's very, very cool.

              T-Mobile should also team up with Starlink so all T-Mo customers should get free satellite text messaging. Should. But modern iPhones have free emergency text messaging here & now; that's worth more than any "Trust me, bro, it's totally coming".

                  To any & all Android users: you should install Grayjay. But don't do it from the Play Store because that's the stupid nerfed version.

                    With the mid range Pixels you get a very polished and high quality Android I'd say.

                      When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.

                      All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?

                          Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

                              I admittedly have no personal experience with Pixel; I have observed that people who get Pixels either love them or they're total shit & they hate them. No inbetweens, love or hate. My BIL got a shit one, but I see lots of happy Pixel owners.

                              I currently have an Oukitel Titan. It's a little quirky sometimes but it's also a beast of a phone, which makes up for any mishaps.

                                Wouldn't that just be anarchism / corporatism similar to a deregulated syndicalism? Why use a word with an opposite meaning, "new liberalism", to describe something?

                                    I'm sure this has been pointed out before, but it's very appropriate that the video for "This is America" was shot in an abandoned factory building.

                                      Since this isn't Tim Apple's first roll in the hay with Trump, I doubt he minds the taste.

                                        There's nothing cool about Apple and never was. They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.

                                        I've been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.

                                        Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That's it.

                                        Funny, I've been an IT professional for over 2 decades and most of my coworkers have used Macs for development and system administration.

                                          Yup, it's just not so obvious when reading text if you're not familiar w/ the accent.
