Things like the cool new lemmy apps and the fold phones like the Galaxy Z Flip make me really want to change but it’s tough.

Any so much of a mention of leaving iOS for android around my normie friends or family leads to weirdly aggressive responses. They want to by able to react my messages and rename the group chats in their normie iMessage. They want to be able to stalk me with their normie Find My Friends app. They react like taking that away from them is basically stabbing them in the back. It’s like I just told a hardcore Trump supporter that Biden is #1 to their face. Normies are brainwashed.

It feels like I’m trying to leave a cult. It’s like I’m trying to leave the Mormon religion. It’s like I’m trying to get off drugs when everyone I know uses.

I just want you techies to know I’m jealous of your freedom. Maybe one of these days I can get clean.

    You guys are three levels deep debating whether or not a slang word is acceptable to use to use. I’m afraid none of you qualify, if anything you are the total opposite side of the spectrum from yelling old man.

    I’m going to need more being offensive and talking about how things use to be much better. Something like this:

    Back in my day people weren’t so sensitive, people used whatever words they wanted and nobody cared or said anything about it. I didn’t hear my first debate on whether or not a word should be used until I was 30 years old. Now you can’t even add ie to the end of norm without some whippersnapper writing a 30 page buzzfeed article about it.

      oh my god you’re right. I need to go find my grouchy pants (they sit somewhere just below my chin) and get on that…
