Let’s be real here folks… You still will pay it! The moment you guys dropped $1000 on an Iphone X? DONE

The message has been made loud and clear. You will HAPPILY pay for a $650 Xbox, and pick up some $9 coffee on your way to do it 🥴

Whip out your wallet folks! It’s going to be an expensive a*** Christmas this year. Grab a $13 breakfast burrito and hunker down! Just remember… You asked for it!

    Money has utterly ruined our society at a fundamental level. I hate money so much.

    The maximum price that I’m willing to pay for a brand new Xbox x (or whatever it’s called this week) is $150 and only if it comes with a blu-ray reader and two wireless controllers

    When did the iPhone X come out?

    And what was even crazier was when spyware bundled Android phones started costing iPhone price but having less power and people paid that. I’d say that was worse. You’re still paying that big price tag but you’re saying performance doesn’t matter and you’re willing to pay even more with your personal data.

    “Oh but it’s open source.” Isn’t UNIX? UNIX and Linux are open source. iOS and Pixel Android aren’t but they’re based on open source projects. They’re the same in that regard. But one was built to suck up your personal data for Google to sell to the highest bidder. The other has failed AI and a broken keyboard. Pick your poison. But don’t dump on people for choosing privacy over flashy AI or for choosing a computer company over an advertising company.
