Both of these memes are fully intelligible to English speakers. In this essay I will prove that memes transcend language....

i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY

I'm going to have to say no. In order to get a degree that would get you into a good paying job, you have to go into immense amounts of debt anyways, so you get put in a position where you are slightly better off if you didn't have one, but not that much better off at all. To get a degree that you want, you may be able to do that for an affordable price, or if you're lucky enough with financial aid free, but that doesn't mean that the degree you want is going to be helpful to you. I have an associates degree and four certifications that I managed to get all simultaneously and with only having to pay a few thousand out of pocket, but because I don't have any connections in the industry my degree is geared towards, and wasn't born into money, I have no way to get into the industry for my degree, making it entirely useless for getting a job. At this point, I can pretty well say that I think it's still a good idea to go to a college to expand your knowledge and widen your worldview, but it's not going to help with your future stability or career unless you're willing to go incredibly in debt and have to spend 20 or 30 years repaying it to reach that point of stability

As a person who has used all here's why choosing Apple if you have to stay with one of these choices forever is a TERRIBLE IDEA:

To get the good stuff about Apple out of the way, everything just works, with little to no extra fiddling required. All of your computers, smartphones, smart home stuff, earbuds, all just work together and share features across them and you barely have to do anything to set them up. It's also incredibly easy to copy content over on various Apple devices, and as far as the smartphones go, while Android devices from some companies have significantly better photos, there are no Android devices that compare quite to Apple in stability and quality of video recording. I've used Oppo and Google phones, which are considered to have some of the best cameras in the Android world, and if I had to choose a smartphone to use exclusively for video recording, not still images, I would choose an iPhone.

The bad news? Most of what you've purchased is designed in a way where it is not upgradable, and where it is so expensive to repair since Apple is your only repair option for nearly everything that it ends up being cheaper to just replace the devices, which is saying something because their... Everything starts way more expensive than other competitors. You are also incredibly limited as far as choice goes. Your phone and computer can only look and operate certain ways. You can only get certain configurations, with upgrades to those configurations usually costing double what they would for a Windows or android based device, and the software support is significantly less so locking yourself into that ecosystem is locking yourself out of a lot of great incompatible with macOS/iOS software.

The bad with non-apple devices, is that you have to make your own ecosystem out of devices from several disparate companies, and the amount of setup time is significantly more. You also have to do more research into the companies because not all of them are going to offer updates for as long as the others, and two companies can be selling devices at two very similar price points that perform very different. A sub $500 phone from OnePlus or Google, for example, is usually going to be more performant than a sub $500 phone from Samsung, but you're going to have an easier time getting ahold of the Samsung, and it will likely be the first or only thing advertised to you. You have to manually search and do research to find the really good deals, and sometimes those good deals come with unique software or hardware compromises, which you also have to be mindful of.

The benefits? You have so much choice available to you. You can find a configuration for basically any device that you could need that fits exactly what you're looking for. You also have a significantly wider range of products available to you price wise, so while it's nearly $2,000 to get a bare minimum smartphone and bare minimum laptop from Apple, you can get a decent performing windows/chromeOS laptop and a really great android phone for about half of that, provided you do your proper research. Additionally, even if the devices (like laptops) are still fairly minimal in way of upgrades, there are a lot more available that are upgradable, meaning that you can use them for longer in better condition. Apple has a fantastic track record of making their devices last really long, with the exception of their phones and audio devices, but you are likely to end up with something that may not be sufficient for what you are needing in the future, and you just can't upgrade it no matter what, which causes you to need to vastly overspend to get a device that will actually be as usable a few years from now as it would be this month (because going from 8 to 16 GB of RAM on a generation old base model macbook air is 200 dollars for some reason?? And that is with only the ram upgrade, so you would be looking at a $1,200 device with only 256gb of -not upgradeable- storage).

I literally love this.

I couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes.

No joke.

Look, this is where you weaponize your hyperfixations. I could EASILY write and present a speech about singing synthesis technology to that many people.

Not really a long time mac user since most of the software I use isn't compatible with macOS, but I picked up a used 2017 MacBook pro recently, and I've gotta say the butterfly keyboard feels quite nice. I feel like it's only quiet if you're a person who types quietly, but the tactile feel is quite good, and the short key travel is useful sometimes. I am wary about reliability though, as they're notorious for just... deciding to die.

Note from Anon: “i actually enjoy using the butterfly keyboard because its quieter and i dont like loud keyboards. the one on my macbook hasnt broken ever (i got it 6 yrs ago)”

-Please don’t bash Mac in the tags or comments. We all have a preference when it comes to electronic brands! 😄

✋🏻I’ve used Apple products/Mac almost my entire life and I honestly am not picky when it comes to my Mac keyboard. I don’t really think about the keyboard when I’m using my laptop.

Not to mention the take is completely oblivious to the existence of gay/bi/pan people, like I'm over here saying "hear me out" and it's horrifically lewd fanart of bracken lethalcompany. I don't think he's The most conventionally attractive woman anybody has ever seen, if j were to venture a guess.

Ah to be rich enough to rest in soup in a garment as expensive looking as that. Probably doesn't have pockets though 🥲

Roasted chicken, ginger, daikon, shiitake mushroom soup with lime, cilantro, broccoli sprouts, and rice noodles

I'm currently watching your my immortal reading video on my 3ds. The vibes are truly weird... strange, some might say.

I passionately endorse watching my videos this way. Chad behaviour.
