Comment Re:PISA compares worst in USA with best in others (Score 1) 131

You're a fucking idiot. If you think you're not able to "discuss" something because other people can comment with opposing political opinions, you're not worried about being intellectually stifled, you're worried about getting arguments you have no hope of addressing. Moderation on slashdot is pretty much nonexistent. If you have something "worthwhile" to discuss, how about you "discuss" it instead of crying about people disagreeing with you being able to respond.

Shortsightedness? That they have less liquid capital? What they were told in a dream by our dearest Lord God about the dangers of wind power? Guy in charge of putting the bid in spilled a monster energy drink into his laptop right before the deadline? If you can use pure supposition to come up with a theoretical question to cast doubt, it's just as easy to whip up a bunch of theoretical answers that required the same exact amount of intellectual rigor.

Oh "they" say that? Who? Where? Like literally two people in some subreddit somewhere? The only time I ever see people expressing this sentiment are the imaginary people in posts like yours. Snap out of it. Look at the history of Apple and Samsung advertising. Does Apple even address Samsung? Now look at Samsung's advertising? Constantly trying to draw lines between Samsung owners and people with iphones for well over a decade. Now look for actual voices from these so-called apple super fanboys, count them, and compare them to the people who feel so rankled by them. The "boohoo apple fanboys are so terrible" people outnumber the supposed apple fanboys by 1000 to 1, and based on the rest of their marketing strategy, I'll bet you a grand that no small part of these are part of the "Apple Fanboys" are working on the Samsung marketing team. You're buying right into a corporate marketing strategy. Don't be an idiot.

Jesus grow up. There's this pod of people in Android land that care about this stuff and literally nobody else. You are mad at a figment of your imagination. Sure there are super rabid lame fanboys of apple but you know what? They are such an incredibly tiny group of people that it just doesn't matter. The number of android fans that get all mad about it dwarfs the number of these supposed rabid apple fanboys by 1000 to 1. That's why you almost exclusively see these sentiments posted in places where a bunch of android dorks are getting hard about some random stupid move apple made.

Always love the comments on any article involving apple... Neckbeards coming out of the woodwork to get their dig at the armies of insatiable apple fanboys who insist apple can do no wrong. The only problem is that it's bullshit. You know what 99.9999% of apple users think of android users? They don't. I own an S23 Ultra and was an iPhone user for many years, but an android user right after it was introduced. Looking through various fora for the odd support question or whatever reveals this bizarre undercurrent of grievance among so many Android users; it's absolutely fucking bonkers. If you, even for a minute, think that someone is a better or worse person based on their choice of phone purveyor, grow the fuck up and stop making your bizarre insecurities and groupthink someone else's problem. Jesus Christ is cringy hell. Get a real hobby. Our a job.
