I don’t make the rules.

I stopped using wired headphones before I had a device without a headphone jack.

I found the cord infuriating, always seemed to get caught or tangled on things, always making sensitive skin contact (like just beneath my jawline) where I was forever readjusting it and sometimes the cords lifted the headphone out of my ear.

Conversely, I’ve had three pairs of wireless headphones. First pair didn’t like getting christened in the washing machine, second pair is still going strong and third pair are AirPod Pros I bought before a flight for the noise cancellation which are also going strong. Maybe I’ve outsmarted the whole of Apple’s engineering/marketing department but I’ve never felt like the sets I’ve had are underperforming on battery life and have no reason to buy sets to replace the working ones I have. The small conveniences, like not being tethered to my phone and freedom from cords, have absolutely made the change to wireless worth it to me.

The biggest and most obvious downside against wireless headphones is compatibility and price.

Everytime I consider buying an EV I do some research and they always seem to have all of the bells and whistles. Then I get to price and it’s like $60,000+ and I can’t help but wonder how much cheaper it could be without all of the added features.

Edit: I’m not going to reply to everyone and I really should have mentioned since it’s not immediately obvious but I’m Australian. No Chevy volt and and all vehicles are imported increasing prices on top of the usual AUD imbalance.

Plot twist, its Gellar Field is failing. The howls of the warp creep in, clawing against the crews minds and their very souls. The light of the Emperor is fading, hope is but a memory as screams of agony fill the cockpit.

And heading to the warehouse so no precious miniature cargo 😭

When you come across a ‘user’ that almost exclusively defends one controversial politician/company/government and all of their comments seem to follow a script. Also the account is either brand new or 5 years old but only started posting recently.

Thought this was going to be some sort of Mark Zuk redirect.

It’s funny that since the migration there have been a few new big meme trends here and there’s always someone who wants them to stop. The reason it’s funny to me is because I picture these people as essentially saying “nooooo, stop new trends that I don’t like! Keep spamming Reddit reposts that have been getting reposted on Reddit for 10 years! 😢”

I even appreciate the trends that I don’t like because Reddit was getting so damn stale because of reposts of reposts of reposts and I’m just grateful for people trying to come up with something funny that is outside of the box.

Someone needs to turn this into an ‘old folks’ always has been meme.
