If people were "thinking and doing" in the first place we wouldn't have Trump.
Nor would we have this ridiculous 2 party system.

Someone missed economics in high school. The elite can afford whatever they want at any price. It's us regular Joes who are going to stop flying.

I keep saying this, but Satoshi is a government product. Created to generate wealth. The person was a team of people. Probably US funded.

Society is not the governor of science. To become addicted, a chemical from outside of you must enter you, that causes the addiction. No chemical enters you via social media. You already have all of the chemicals, and your own actions cause the release of them. A society cannot officiate whether that is true.
Tell me you know ZERO about biology. Oof. You just did.

I guess we grew up differently
Cigarettes have been age restricted to 16 since 1883, and to 21 since 1920. Alcohol has been age restricted to 18 since 1960 and to 21 since 1984. So unless you're a 200 year old vampire, no, you did not.

Repeating false things without researching them might make you stupid though.

I can buy cigarettes, alcohol, and any number of things that can become addictive. Yet things like alcohol addiction are still the user's responsibility.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and the like are not made freely available to kids.

If a map service wants to take payment to make a business show on their map, that's fine. Good, even.
I disagree. Look no further than what Yelp does to see this is a terrible business model for the consumer and the businesses. It's only good for the tech company.
You have to pay Yelp $250+ a month so that competitors ads don't show on your page and that you are listed #1 for your own brand name. If someone is searching for you and you don't pay, you may be #7 on the list for your own brand name. It's mafia tactics.

MacOS, Linux, etc. The more people to move to those platforms will also entice developers to make more software for them. Ditch windows. It's what the word needs.

This is just flat out not true.
But... even if it were the main reason, why would fault Apple for making something that makes it's user's lives better? Your whole argument sounds like "Well, Tommy can only win the race because he runs every day and works out and I don't. If he didn't work out he wouldn't beat me." Your argument is just childish.
