    When I see people with Apple devices (or driving a Tesla lol), I automatically view them as someone I probably don’t like. At this point, Apple devices are social signals that say “I don’t care about much as long as my life is comfortable”.

      When I see people saying dumb shit like this, I feel glad that my parents raised me right because I don’t judge others based on what devices they own.

        When I see people claiming superiority because they disagree with another’s opinion I get sad.

        There, we both talked about our feelings.

            Claiming superiority and assuming you won’t like someone because of their choices are not the same.

        I’m the exact opposite of the person you described. And I own several Apple products. So….

        Your anecdotal argument is invalidated.

          I’m not sure anecdotes can’t be invalidated any more than an opinion can. But either way, as my initial claim and I think theirs too wasn’t stated as a fact it can’t be invalidated by the existence of an exception.

      Funny. That’s how I see people who use Google products. But, anyway, how does this relate to the story you’re commenting on?
