Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro? in c/[email protected]

There are so many flaws with your take I don’t even know how to reply.

I will just say that:

$3,500 is not a price that only rich people can afford, at least in the US. Many middle class folks can afford it with ease.
It isn’t Apple’s fault that YouTube has ads. That is Google’s doing. Apple themselves are privacy focused and I never see targeted ads on any Apple app. The only places I even see ads are in the app store and in the TV app, and the TV ads are limited to promos of upcoming shows or movies.

People are constantly bashing Apple for their premium prices and walled garden while forgetting that nobody is targeting the folks who want a privacy oriented experience without ads blasting everywhere.

I switched to iOS because I got tired of Google watching my every move and I got tired of worrying if every app I download from google’s app store has malware or not.

I keep patties/fries in the freezer and have an easily accessible grill and air fryer for when that urge hits. The only thing I need to get is the buns.

We rarely eat at McDonald's these days. The prices pushed us out along with the poor quality food.

Men over 30, what has been your experience with therapy? Did it improve your life? in c/[email protected]

[–] eek2121 3 points 11 months ago

Younger me was helped by a therapist because it helped me to realize I don’t need anyone else to be happy and I don’t need much to actually be happy.

Old me just started to see a therapist again, so I can’t say too much except that it helps being able to talk to someone and is worth it based purely on that.
