This country is scaring me even more than usual.
From what I’ve heard, the Apple elitism is primarily just an American thing. I don’t think Americans over like 30 usually give a shit, but I’m in college and most people still hate on androids for sure. I feel like other countries also use third party apps that work the same for all phone users, like whatsapp, telegram, facebook messages, signal, etc., whereas most Americans I know exclusively use imessages for regular texting.
Also, I remember sending photos to my friends and they’d joke about how bad my camera was when it looked really good quality to me, of course it was just iphone pixelating photos sent from non-iphone users!
When I worked at a grocery store in the south there was a regular 50 year guy who always came in wearing a “LION, NOT SHEEP” hoodie in large bold text. This was right at the time most people stopped wearing masks, and he kept questioning why I was still wearing one. I didn’t try to argue with him, but he kept saying stuff like “look kid, they’re brainwashing you, you don’t need that damn thing”
I think what’s even worse (at least in gen z) is apple brand loyalty. The amount of jokes about “being subjected to green colored texts” I’ve seen, or the “androids take pictures in 240p,” is insane
I literally bought an iphone just because of peer pressure. When I had an android in high school my “friends” made a separate groupchat from me because apple turns off features like gamepigeon when an android user is in the group, I suggested they download an app like plato for games and they were like “it’s not the same” or “I don’t have the storage.” I also remember joining groupchats for school projects and someone would go “who’s the android user lmao”
I matched with this guy who had “left-wing” in his tinder bio so I asked him if he was a socialist and he said “nah but I’ll say I am to get mad good bussy and pussy”

Didn’t she scream “fuck you Brandon” at the state of the union, along with a dozen other heckles?
Are communists my type? Because all five of my exes were openly communist. No I did not know before dating them. Gym bro, goth girl, skater boy, femboy, and femboy 2: all commies. I’m in college but damn I thought we were like 1% of the population.
