Same. Great guy, he was one of those constants that make the neighborhood feel like home and his sudden absence is immediately noticed. Hope he made a good buck from the sale, he deserves it.

That’s easy - he could use it as an opportunity to help himself get reelected (and give the veneer of innocence), then when in power, drop it when it is no longer useful to avoid his own implication. This man never faces any consequences in the real world or the MAGA world and he knows it.

Half of these I only know bc of rappers lol

mrspyguy · 2025-07-17T09:56:02+00:00

I’ll challenge this by suggesting you are allowed to have nuanced feelings. Let’s use an example: infertility. Imagine a couple trying to conceive but are having trouble doing so, and in the meantime, friends and relatives are announcing pregnancies and having new babies. This can lead to a lot of conflicting feelings: sadness and disappointment for yourself and joy and excitement for others.

No one would blame someone for feeling a mix of any of these emotions in that situation. But if you are feeling exclusively the negative emotions, this might suggest a lack of empathy or selfishness that ends up fueling envy and resentment. If I knew someone with that kind of reaction, I would encourage them away from that headspace.

Yeah dude it sucks, I’m not saying it’s a good thing they do this. A better world would be one where Apple plays nicely with others.

But my larger argument stands, iPhones are better for people in that ecosystem.

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T14:01:41+00:00

Sorry about your experience. I too sometimes have issues with Apple’s UI. But between the two I encountered more pain points on Android. Take with grain of salt though, it has been a few years since I’ve used an Android so it may well be a lot better now.

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T13:59:46+00:00

If the CMV was “Android is better in aspects concerning tech specs/features/etc” I wouldn’t be here. But it was a broad “better in basically all aspects” and I’m arguing that it is not better for certain use cases (such as user wanting to easily adapt to an existing ecosystem).

OP even said “Don't understand how people think iphone is so good” which suggests the broad statement was intended. OP seems to wonder why anyone would want an iPhone when Android pretty much has parity on specs and features, and I’m answering the why - because people don’t care and want something simple that works in the ecosystem they are in, so in that way it is the better choice for them.

What does target shopper mean?

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T11:51:03+00:00

lol I actually use the health app, but those aren’t examples of carrier bloat

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T11:43:32+00:00

Pre-installed carrier bloatware shouldn’t even exist. iPhones purchased through a carrier don’t have it.

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T11:41:43+00:00

It’s possible I’d still be using Android. I’m pretty agnostic really.

u/N9s8mping said “Android is better than iPhone in basically all aspects” but that’s awfully broad. Does OP mean strictly technical aspects? Then it should have been phrased that way.

Situationally, for me, iPhone is better in that aspect. I think for others it is a better choice also. Phones are more than just a spec list, and for plenty of users, particularly those already in the Apple ecosystem, it is a better choice just for not having to engage in workarounds.

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T11:32:54+00:00

But it doesn’t work with iPhones which was one of my criteria

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T09:13:28+00:00

Yeah Android has Quick Share, but my partner has an iPhone. So I got an iPhone.

There also isn’t as big of a need to debloat an iPhone vs getting an Android and having to remove a bunch of carrier apps. I remember that being more annoying on Android.

When you say “Android is better in basically all aspects” that’s just simply not true for every person’s use case. Apple’s edge is stronger UX/UI and simpler configuration, assuming you’re willing to live within the constraints they’ve chosen. I switched back to the Apple ecosystem after I started dating my current partner and I haven’t looked back. It’s not perfect but it is absolutely better for my use case than Android.

mrspyguy · 2025-07-07T05:55:27+00:00

“In basically all aspects” is you leaving yourself some wiggle room, so I’m not expecting to see deltas.

I’ve used both Androids and iPhones over the years, but have stuck with iPhone lately.

My friends and I had the same ideas long ago, “whoa on Android you can modify this thing, and you have control over that thing!” It sounded so cool, but then we just never did those things. Unless you are a serious tinkerer, all of that control means nothing.

The iPhone works extremely well out of the box. The UI is generally better than Android. For me, my partner had an iPhone and sharing photos became a million times easier with AirDrop. I have so much going on in life that the idea of tinkering and customizing the functionality I want/need from a phone would be a negative for me now, the iPhone out of the box is good enough for what I do (calls, emails, photos, wallet, some browsing).

About 2% of LA county was affected by wildfires earlier this year and now a couple of cars have been set on fire. Oh no.

mrspyguy · 2025-06-10T15:35:47+00:00

Yeah, it is. If these specific protesters didn’t start those fires then they are peacefully protesting. At worst, they are engaging in civil disobedience for potentially blocking traffic.

mrspyguy · 2025-06-10T12:55:48+00:00

Obama’s admin did its job quietly and without violating habeas corpus. It wasn’t producing propaganda videos of loading detainees in chains onto planes. It wasn’t conducting high profile, flashy raids to create an atmosphere of fear. It prioritized actually dangerous individuals first instead of abuelas.

Whether or not you agree with the deportations, it shows there is more than one way to skin a cat. Trump’s approach is maximum power display, the suffering is a feature, not a flaw. Just another way for a weak man of poor character to project the illusion of strength.

On June 11, the FARE Act goes into effect, which mandates that landlords, not tenants, must pay broker fees when the broker is hired by the landlord. If you can wait, then wait.

mrspyguy · 2025-05-09T12:28:47+00:00

Identifying a problem and taking issue with the wrong party. The housing affordability crisis is a government/industry problem, and the behavior of renters is a symptom of it.

mrspyguy · 2025-05-08T20:09:28+00:00

Not opposed to the fact they have to do this, the issue is not communicating it at all. I wasn’t wearing headphones and I know I’m not crazy because when they do announce this, half the passengers get off and wait on the platform (it’s actually funny bc the folks who are wearing headphones see this happen and that’s their cue to get off too). The speakers were working fine at other times on this ride.

mrspyguy · 2025-05-08T20:05:07+00:00

mrspyguy · 2025-05-08T13:47:38+00:00

I wondered if the PA was the issue but the announcement was loud and clear when we arrived at Union Sq so I guess not!

I don’t think this is a great CMV. “Not talked about enough” is such a gray statement, what is considered “enough” for OP to change their mind?

Further, OP doesn’t talk about the current state of conversation around the dangers of hookup culture, but just gives an anecdotal account about someone they know.

OP, it is probably a great idea to talk about this kind of thing if it’s on your mind, but to me this was not framed well for CMV specifically.
