"Apple definitely does not need to die. Apple is like the only mainstream technology-producer that actually cares about your privacy. Yes, it’s still a producer in a market.

no and don't fight about something as dumb as this, you're going to need to learn to let that kind of thing go if you want a real long term relationship
Blake Davis
yes and write her name on your dick and send a picture to her parents
Owen Cooper
I'm more interested in the conversation leading up to this reply
Kevin Sullivan
Tell your cuck boyfriend about free software
Caleb Mitchell
I'd be surprised that she hasn't broken up with you for being autistic if I didn't already know this was fake.
Josiah Bailey
No.
Just teach her why she is wrong. It will take years and you may not survive, but in the end it will be worth it.
It's the "trash youtube" I indulge in while I eat. She asked me what the take away was, I explained that Apple needed to die. "Omg ok so it’s one cartoon studio of the many. Anything interesting about their “fall” though; as in, any information I can use to predict a trend or pattern or something?" >That's exactly what I was watching it for. >Basically they fell for the age old "Does thing good at first-tries too hard to make quantity over quality to makes money- eventually becomes irrelevant as their schemes fail one too many times" trick. Like apple. >Apple needs to die is the take away here.
This is what I'm shooting for. She'll see the light, if it takes my dead body to do it.
Jose Garcia
This. Start by calling out her bullshit parroting of Applel marketing. Applel has never given a single shit about privacy and right as their advertising division was bankrupted, they decided to spin their failure as if they always cared.
>applel literally sells all iToddlers' data to google for $9B every year AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Women are retarded when it comes to technology. All they care about how big of a fashion statement x thing is.
Kevin Morgan
No, and never argue with females, much less with your girlfriend.
Aaron Sanders
>Apple really does make high quality products for average, not-technologically-inclined consumers Smartest thing ever posted on Jow Forums. >My girlfriend just sent me this. Unfortunately you are a filthy liar
Elijah Lopez
She's 100% right.
Logan Watson
Depends, does she respect your opinion enough to not further and continuously challenge your facts with her feelings? If so, then there's no point in breaking up because that's as good as it gets; women don't care about logic but they'll at least keep their retardation to themselves if they don't sense weakness in you. Otherwise break it off now because if you don't she'll just start walking all over you no matter what you say since she knows she has that power.
Samuel King
explain to her that she is right about that the existance of Apple monopolizing phone market and implementing anti-consumer practices is a natural understandable result of Capitalism, which is why we need to tear it down and turn into an anarchist society
Ian Long
>live in anarchy >get roflstomped by the first organized conquerer that looks in your general direction Great plan.

Aiden Smith
anarchy doesn't mean lack of volunteraly organizations. a stateless society can easily form millitary organizations for the purpose of defending itself, as it has happened multiple times before.
Dominic Brooks
Yeah feel free to name an actually successful anarchist society any time you want.
Grayson Reyes
not him and I also think anarchists are retarded but you could call the early stages of the usa anarchist
Nathaniel Butler
Just say you respect what she says but you feel differently on the issue. Then never talk about it again.
This is why you fags can’t get laid.
Brandon Watson
yes
Jace Gomez
see and various other examples of state-collapse or lack of state anarchist societies like those after revolutions (like the french one) and some others like Christiania
Mason Moore
Go for pussy: tell her she's right and smart
Xavier Scott
Poor federal management is hardly anarchist, especially when the states themselves had plenty of government. Also I really wouldn't call a bunch of guys trying to establish a government "anarchists." >the only "successful" anarchist societies are the ones with the end goal of forming a government and one fishing-village sized town that only exists by the grace of the surrounding government K. Thanks for proving my point I guess. Anarchists literally cannot thrive without government.
James Perry
explain it with proper detail and facts and if she denies reality then tell her to fuck off this isn't complicated why do straight dudes walk on eggshells around women
Jordan Anderson
I don't disagree with you btw, but I do think many early americans were anarchists, a lot of the early settlers really didn't want government at all, the resistance to government was one of the coolest aspects of early america and the eventual founding of the country. people were so fed up with government. I'm not even american too I just think what they did is amazing and I really like how america tried so hard to limit the power of government in a way almost nowhere else did, it's a shame to see what's happening to them now where you have big populations pushing for big government. but yea anarchism is retarded and not a solution, it's just something that can happen at early stages of a country.
Jack Sanders
Siri is not your girlfriend bro
David Wilson
>trash youtube I indulge in while i eat any other good channels for this?
How long did you guys get trolled by not realizing OP was a paid Apple Shill? 2 hours? Yikes.
Xavier Sullivan
You GF is based and redpilled, and she should break with you an incel Andrjeet.
Easton Ward
everything she said is correct, even about privacy. Apple is in the business of selling hardware, whereas google is in the business of selling ads. One of those requires personal information, while the other does not.
Generally, very privacy conscious people will opt with android solely because they can flash a custom rom without gapps and use entirely foss apps, which is much better than anything possible on the closed source iOS. As for the value apple brings to the world, economically speaking your girlfriend is right again. According to free market theory if consumers are willing to buy something, then it is priced fairly. Generally these economic theories fail to account for irrational behaviors such as brand loyalty or reputation, which is clearly why apple has such a strong following, but regardless she is right.
Don't break up with her. Even if you disagree with her she's proved that she is smarter than most girls out there and can at least think for herself.
Dominic Young
>we wish Apple would share data with us like Google and be more (((open))) And that's supporting your argument how exactly?
Luke Johnson
Never argue with a woman about unimportant shit. They will never admit that they're wrong and they'll just respond by getting irrationally butthurt, staying butthurt for an absurd amount of time, and then seeking some kind of petty revenge.
wow... what a cringe normie... applels btfo... itoddlers hide behind privacy because their keyboard is bad or something... oh... oh shit... the seratonin is coming... oh fuck... fuck yes... ungh..................
OP, people aren't perfect, and never live 100% to their values. A lot of people here bitch about amazon, but probably use it. People here use youtube. This place isn't much of a haven since hiroshima. We try to get away from some of it, but there's a limit where avoiding everything just becomes inconvenient. By all means show her articles about Apple selling user data, have discussions, she is humoring you and seems to be kind of open minded, just maybe doesn't have all the facts. But don't ridicule or belittle her. We all partake in the shit we criticize, and every person has their own priorities in life and morals. Don't treat her like she's stupid, but recognize when she is no longer interested in the topic. Believe it or not, not everyone is interested in the same autistic shit we are. Don't be a fucking faggot OP or you'll never keep a girl.
