Remember when everybody used to misspell it "Impolex"

"I almost called him Impolex. That would be impollite." -- raocow, talking about Imi
combining the anti-political-correctness stance of some conservative activists and their characteristically abrasive style with a stridently anti-conservatism message
[11:50]Kevin Fernandes >> you fucking cocksucker. I try to raise the price and you fucking idiots take it as a sign to try to sell your shit fast and be greedy as fuck. FUCK YOU!!!!! Go FUCK YOURSELF!!!!! Greedy pieces of shit. I guess you fucking idiots don't like making gil. Why undercut by a fucking million. Wow.
[11:54]Kevin Fernandes >> Would it make you feel beter too know that you helped clear me out for trying to do a good thing and make everyone money? Wow. You are sadistic
Guy was an idiot. Nobody is gonna buy a 600k item for the 2 mil he was trying to sell them for, so we decided to take advantage of his attempted monopoly to redistribute the wealth. He was wrong though, we love making gil. It's what made him such a good business opportunity!

Person acts in a certain way enough establish themselves as a certain personality presence, but then also act in a way that'd be done as if someone were mocking them, so you can't even parody them effectively because they already own their weirdness.
well i guess before this i had no particular reason to hate the iphone itself
originally i just had no interest in buying apple products because they're really expensive and use a weirdo interface style that doesn't know what a right-click is
then i got reason to hate the company for being assive to indie devs, but that's still not specific to the iphone
now i have a reason to hate on the iphone itself specifically

More than anything I'm just kind of annoyed that we're inevitably end up living in a world where even headphones are mired in proprietary bullshit
Like if any other phone manufacturer removed the headphone jack, people would rightly refuse to buy it, but because it's Apple, the cult of iPhone is going to keep buying them no matter what bullshit Apple pulls
I'm really not a fan of the cult of iPhone comment. You might as well say cult of Microsoft, or literally any other big manufacturer because the individual can't, like, do a whole lot if they do have an issue, and a large contingent of people are casual users (I'm pretty sure), who don't mind that stuff anyway. Like a lot of stuff. Like loads of people took issue with Win10's forced updating thing, which is not a 1:1 comparison, but works on similar grounds to what you're saying.
Not that I like what Apple is doing either, obviously.

Yeah, I went a little overboard there
It's just that, as far as I can tell, there is a large portion of iPhone users who seem to consider other brands of smartphone to be beneath them
That's just a tech/unnecessary competition thing dude. No different from console wars, which are somehow still a thing (albeit now replaced by stuff that's even more repellent). You kind of act that way about your Android stuff, in my experience...

i don't particularly care if some celeb offended another celeb or bought a stupid couch or is dating two other people at once or something
celeb does something that gets attention from tabloids

because headphone jack = compatibility with, like EVERYTHING

so they try to innovate and disrupt just to make things proprietary
all technological advances are for the purpose of making money now
that's what privatization does
fuck pro-privatizers
