People who have strong opinions about obviously subjective things.

I wish I saw more Datsun’s on the road.

The 240 SX was also one of my favorite cars.

If you’ve had the misfortune of encountering an Altima driver in the wild, you’ll know what I’m getting at.

It's not a popular car in my area (norcal), you can actually get used toyota hybrids and civics at a better cost than an altima. but when I was in the south...saw them everywhere

People who participate in technology consumption as identity: apple vs pc, iOS vs android, Xbox vs PlayStation vs pc, etc

And people who are deathly afraid to be wrong, and overcompensate with undeserved confidence when they talk.
 These people never grow. They stay stunted and are truly the least ‘Facts don’t care about your feelings’ people ever.
These kind of people also rarely apologize for anything as well.

240's are sick, would love one.

I've had two of them in my life and I desperately wish I hadn't sold them.
Especially considering I could probably get 5x the price I sold them for if I sold them today.

i'm currently guilty of being an apple fanboy but i had a traumatic experience that caused me to get a macbook years back and the ecosystem is so sticky so as a family we are all in these days.

i don't hate on people who don't use apple products though but i do encounter people with andriod phones explaining how much more horse power and better this and that is on their android phone. for me it's like... will my macbook know it's there and just figure out how to show me the messages and will my airpods just connect seamlessly? then i'm good

I had a buddy once try to convince me to buy a PC instead of Macbook, he's basically like "just buy this tower, this graphics card, this sound card, install this anti-virus, install this malware remover and run it about once a week, buy this, buy that, and in the end it'll save you like $500!" I'm like dude I'll pay the extra $500 to not have to do all that shit. Also I'm in graphic design and just prefer the Mac OS and working on Macs anyways.

Either way, I think it's because being into PCs is a serious hobby in and of itself.
Maybe even a lifestyle, shit I dunno lotta folks are really, really fuckin' into it.
Nowadays Apple seems to appeal more to people who are like "I don't want to have to modify or maintain this thing, I just want something that works and I'll pay extra for it."

As a graphic designer myself I absolutely prefer working on Mac. I used to be the designer for Alienware and their web team would work on both platforms but I had to work on their PC, which wasn't ideal. Fortunately my previous job was pc based as well. I just never liked having to lear keyboard shortcuts for pc when I already knew all the mac ones. But for your last point, I think it's always been that way. Mac has always been a contained unit it seems.



unrelated note: I can def see the Altima hate. I've had that opinion for a long time. But I really like other Nissans through time, so I don't really have the same opinion of the brand...just the altima. It's the most worrisome car to see in your rearview because you know they're just going to be changing lanes at rapid pace within inches of other cars. It's rare to see an altima not covered in battle scars from their various repeated hit and runs.

agreed on your points. apple to pc/andriod like this to me

apple
- more expensive
- less configurations and maintenance
- less flexible (this used to be a major problem for me)
- lower maintenance
- more cohesive ecosystem with low configuration (my apple tv just knows i'm going to want to use my airpods)
- luxury brand/accessory
- not good for games

pc/android
- more affordable
- more flexible
- higher maintenance
- utilitarian/practical (not a luxury thing)
- great for gaming
- disjointed, high maintenance ecosystem

i'm not going to judge anyone based on this but i do a lot of business networking these days and i've noticed trends. entrepreneurs, startup crowd tend to have iphones while corp executives/conservative company executives tend to favor andriod. so at a networking event i might make some assumptions based on your phone.

Off topic about the Mac vs Windows shite but SOLIDWORKS doesn't work with apple and not sure of any other CAD software that does.
I just buy a cheap phone and let work give me a laptop/PC.

Hey if you guys are willing to pay $500-1000 rather than take the 5 minutes it takes to install basic software (a form of which is actually baked into windows nowadays) then I'll be happy to be your "computer guy" for half that. I thought that hustle dried up in the mid 00s but apparently people are still falling for this "macs are easier to use/safer" shit.

I built my PC for less than $700 over half a decade ago and it will still run basically everything on the market. Literally never had an issue that wasn't caused my by own tinkering and my laptop has been set it and forget it for almost that long too, though I only use it for design work I can't do on my licensed software Mac workstation so it mostly sits in my desk drawer.

My take is and always has been that you've either got more money than sense or are falling for the marketing/want a status symbol (whether you're willing to admit it or even realize it or not). Taking the 10 seconds to pull my phone out and google the solution on the rare occasion I have a problem is pretty easy, so I'll pick that over forking over a significant part of my paycheck every year or two and having to take the shit I own to someone else because the company I bought it from won't let me fix it myself.

^^^^Seriously this.  People are traumatized from getting porn adware on their family desktop in the mid 00's.  The "Mac's don't get viruses" thing has always been bullshit, but computers now are extremely easy to operate.  I haven't had an issue with viruses in years and I think I just use the built in Windows anti-virus.

My bluetooth earbuds automatically sync with my android phone.

MacOS is necessary if you're in certain fields like graphic design or whatever, but I've never seen the benefits people claim for personal use.  If I remember right, my buddy had one and had to pay like $400 to have a hard drive replaced.  I think he had to mail it in somewhere too.  If it was a PC, I could have done it for $50 in under an hour.

There was this girl I was talking to and we started crashing at each other house and I’m a great host I’ll offer you a drink, a beer, a mix drink , chips snacks and most likeY smoke you out etc Etc … but yeah every time I would stay the night she would cook herself food and never offer me anything , no water no food and she would eat in front of me too. That was enough to think less of them and pull the ghost trick lol

No attack here but this sounds like a passive aggressive way to make it clear you don't like your company. I'd bet you both wanted to part ways

Lmao that was not a good assumption, plus I was offended cause that’s not true (: you had to be there to understand how it played out, its honestly probably her upbringing maybe her parent didn’t teach her manners or she’s just socially awkward about how to be about those kind of things maybe she’s not used to company idk . Regardless it wasn’t something I wanted to address and just wanted to find someone who naturalistically has those traits, called me old fashion or whatever

Ah word yea nevermind then, 100% with ya on that

Pardon me for being indelicate here but, was this a sexual relationship?
if so, you sound like a generous host but were you a generous lover? Is it possible she didn't feed you because you wouldn't eat?
she might've thought less of you in that case.

Has astrology and horoscopes been brought up?
people who firmly believe in astrology and horoscopes make me go 😬 in my head

But i think im mostly like that with girls i like bc sometimes it can be a turn off. Not that it’s stopped me from trying something though.

Oh yeah dudes who pretend to be into astrology and horoscopes just to try and get some, like this one dude i used to know. Ugh. I think less of those.
I don’t blame them but damn the thirst is real.
How thirsty do you have to be to say to a gal “i know right! It’s because you’re a virgo thats why!”
Those guys deserve to go straight to horny jail

I just want everyone to know that I'm only 32.8% skateboarder, and that's on a good day. The rest is just soy and cum.

Has astrology and horoscopes been brought up?
people who firmly believe in astrology and horoscopes make me go 😬 in my head

But i think im mostly like that with girls i like bc sometimes it can be a turn off. Not that it’s stopped me from trying something though.

Oh yeah dudes who pretend to be into astrology and horoscopes just to try and get some, like this one dude i used to know. Ugh. I think less of those.
I don’t blame them but damn the thirst is real.
How thirsty do you have to be to say to a gal “i know right! It’s because you’re a virgo thats why!”
Those guys deserve to go straight to horny jail

People who participate in technology consumption as identity: apple vs pc, iOS vs android, Xbox vs PlayStation vs pc, etc

i'm currently guilty of being an apple fanboy but i had a traumatic experience that caused me to get a macbook years back and the ecosystem is so sticky so as a family we are all in these days.

i don't hate on people who don't use apple products though but i do encounter people with andriod phones explaining how much more horse power and better this and that is on their android phone. for me it's like... will my macbook know it's there and just figure out how to show me the messages and will my airpods just connect seamlessly? then i'm good

I had a buddy once try to convince me to buy a PC instead of Macbook, he's basically like "just buy this tower, this graphics card, this sound card, install this anti-virus, install this malware remover and run it about once a week, buy this, buy that, and in the end it'll save you like $500!" I'm like dude I'll pay the extra $500 to not have to do all that shit. Also I'm in graphic design and just prefer the Mac OS and working on Macs anyways.

Either way, I think it's because being into PCs is a serious hobby in and of itself.
Maybe even a lifestyle, shit I dunno lotta folks are really, really fuckin' into it.
Nowadays Apple seems to appeal more to people who are like "I don't want to have to modify or maintain this thing, I just want something that works and I'll pay extra for it."

agreed on your points. apple to pc/andriod like this to me

apple
- more expensive
- less configurations and maintenance
- less flexible (this used to be a major problem for me)
- lower maintenance
- more cohesive ecosystem with low configuration (my apple tv just knows i'm going to want to use my airpods)
- luxury brand/accessory
- not good for games

pc/android
- more affordable
- more flexible
- higher maintenance
- utilitarian/practical (not a luxury thing)
- great for gaming
- disjointed, high maintenance ecosystem

i'm not going to judge anyone based on this but i do a lot of business networking these days and i've noticed trends. entrepreneurs, startup crowd tend to have iphones while corp executives/conservative company executives tend to favor andriod. so at a networking event i might make some assumptions based on your phone.

Hey if you guys are willing to pay $500-1000 rather than take the 5 minutes it takes to install basic software (a form of which is actually baked into windows nowadays) then I'll be happy to be your "computer guy" for half that. I thought that hustle dried up in the mid 00s but apparently people are still falling for this "macs are easier to use/safer" shit.

I built my PC for less than $700 over half a decade ago and it will still run basically everything on the market. Literally never had an issue that wasn't caused my by own tinkering and my laptop has been set it and forget it for almost that long too, though I only use it for design work I can't do on my licensed software Mac workstation so it mostly sits in my desk drawer.

My take is and always has been that you've either got more money than sense or are falling for the marketing/want a status symbol (whether you're willing to admit it or even realize it or not). Taking the 10 seconds to pull my phone out and google the solution on the rare occasion I have a problem is pretty easy, so I'll pick that over forking over a significant part of my paycheck every year or two and having to take the shit I own to someone else because the company I bought it from won't let me fix it myself.

I’ve got 3 kids and my wife and we have a lot of devices. I don’t mind paying more and having less things to manage. The only computer in my house I’ve had to mess with is my sons gaming laptop. The best part too is if my wife is having a problem I just tell her to take it to the Apple Store, she’ll drop it off, do some shopping at the near by shops or grab lunch but I don’t have to do anything. My sons laptop, what a nightmare.
