    Clipping a way Jon Stewart and now editing speeches. WTF is going on.

          They all do until it affects profits.

          Corporations are legal people but they are all literal psychopaths. They will do or say anything to keep the profits rolling and the real humans mean nothing to them.

          We are nothing but a means to an end and that end is profits.

      Tbf, it’s the same rant Bobby always gives and they were probably hoping to skip it as well as keep their ceremonies moving.

        That makes it worse honestly. If he’s known to give those speeches and you give him a platform and censor him anyway, that seems more premeditated censorship than anything.

    Fuck all that noise, I am going to take De Niro at his word on this. They probably knew he wouldn’t approve the edits and tried to force it on him. How disrespectful.

    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.

      There’s too much truth to this, I swear I was less biased at one point. But Apple users are too often the type to scoff at data privacy, use the magical cloud for everything, know nothing about how to troubleshoot issues, pay to have XY&Z done for them regardless of how simple it is, and especially eat up all the Apple propaganda (like Android MMS being compressed to hell, which made them believe Android cameras are terrible). It’s a perfect designer phone for a wannabe designer lifestyle.

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

        Your anecdotal argument is invalidated.

          Please read the words ‘too often’ in my post to realize you’ve just provided supporting evidence for my claim.

          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?
