    this is making the absurd assumption that the stock price based upon any of the factors we are talking about (ie: value for the dollar on their products and warranties and such)

    If you dont think stock price reflects the quality of a brand, I don't exactly understand how you would gauge value.

    I don't no. Or at least the quality of the products (very different from the quality of the brand) is only a tiny, tiny component.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Screw it. Brandy is only twelve dollars. That still leaves me six dollars in discretionary funds!

    Do you really want to drink cheap booze?

    I actually find E&J brandy to be pretty tasty in itself and great mixed with Coke Zero.

    i don't know that i'd drink it straight, but i'm happy to mix with e&j or korbel.

    e&j's xo is interesting and cheap - it's really heavy on oak/ vanilla notes and i'm not really sure if it's just aged like crazy or pressure chipped or what.

    also i'm happy to use it in infusions. i have a batch of coffee brandy going right now and am going to do the same with cherry or blackberry when they're in season. maybe cranberry. who knows.

    also totally doing a peach bourbon if i can ever source some peaches that aren't horrible. last year's peaches were bullshit.

    I don't think I've ever had brandy in a drink without at least 3 other ingredients.

    we could either do saturday which is free all day but risks terrible overcrowding due to being free all day

    or we could go wednesday after 5pm (they're open until 8:45 on weds) which is also free but less crowded i imagine

    the people bitching about apple products can get pretty annoying about it and the people defending them take it weirdly personally.

    only because the particular bitching seems to cross a threshold where they aren't just saying that they don't like the product, but rather that the people who are buying the product are ignorant, or misinformed, or if only they knew you could get something with the same power output for 500 bucks less... it becomes less about the product and more about attacking the person who has the product.

    Not everyone, but that is clearly a theme of a lot of the people who dislike apple products, and how they present their arguments.

    Not as half as I am.

    I was a bit skeptical of both it and Toy Story 3, but then Toy Story 3 turned out to be awesome, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

    brandy old fashioneds and manhattans are a thing. also sidecars are 3 ingredients total.

    people like to make a big deal out of sipping cognac straight, which is really just brandy

    also black people drink hells of brandy as long as it comes in a fancy bottle and has a french name

    Apple's stock is also some chaotic shit right now.

    I mean, If you are looking LOOONG game they have gained a shitload of value since the days of it being a near-penny stock. But it has dipped drastically in the past six months or so, because of market expectations and nothing to do with how well they are performing as a company.

    Market be crazy, yo.

    Which time it was a penny stock? And how has it done traditionally without Steve? :rotate: ;)

    i guess in every industry it bothers me when people are so intent on trying to find and point out 'suckers'. like, if you think something is a better deal then fine, if you want to give your reasoning then ok. but with macs or raw denim or gourmet foods there is this really mean, vindictive desire to go 'haha suckers'. it's so intensely unlikable a trait. i am fine with budget shopping or different priorities when shopping, but i can't at all relate to the trend of mocking people who spend more money than you. SHEEP. MARKETING ZOMBIES. SUCKERS. TRUSTFUND KIDS.

    like, this is only slightly less obnoxious and petty than keying cars or spitting in food.

    look over the last couple pages of posts by people who have someone got their personal identity tangled up with Apple then tell me who is unbearably obnoxious.
    ... so the people not insulting the choices of others but like a thing are more annoying than the people who are calling them dumb or saying they have made bad decisions?

    Jesus Christ.

    eh, maybe I started reading chat in the middle of something someone else started? But you have to admit Gooey, among others, are pretty damn obnoxious about the Mac thing.

    not to mention the very weird situation that when people, such as myself, criticize Apple, their products and their business practices other people start interpreting it as an attack on them.

    That is super fucked up.

    i am not talking about 'apple overcharges' or 'apple's profit margins are too high'.

    i am talking about "people will pay for anything with an apple brand" and "it's just a hype machine that people buy into because they're too complacent to be ripped off" or "if you need something that just works and you're fine being ripped off, then by all means"

    this always turns into a bunch of people saying that people who buy macs are dummies who overpay out of blind loyalty

    I would take this more seriously if it weren't for all the "mac master race" and such comments going on at the same time.

    i just don't get how you take those seriously in the first place

    like, when people say PC master race console peasants do you take that seriously?

    they're just jokes because people like this computer more

    whereas the other is 'you're a dumb and gullible person who gets ripped off' with no humor at all

    and I think you are the one inventing that implication because you somehow have come to identify with apple products.

    huh? there is no implication. those are direct quotes.

    and that is a direct lie. your post is the first instance of the word "gullible" as far as search is able to find in this thread. And the only use of "dumb" in this discussion by you and syndalis complaining about being called dumb. The phrase you claim is a "direct quote" never appears. And the key words (dumb, gullible) only appear in those posts complaining about their use.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson
