Your point was that there are many forms of creativity, including ones relying on technology? Then, you’re welcome.
Yet I’ve been to many gigs where they have. Shall we cancel those to keep you a little less discontented 😉
I honestly cannot be arsed any longer. There are about three of you on a crusade to shout as loud as you can and be offended by all while trying to humiliate anyone standing up against you.
Enjoy being miserable at everything that offends you.
You lot deserve yourselves.
I’ve long observed that there are two kinds of people—those who create/build, and those who tear down. One kid gets joy from building a big block tower; another kid gets joy from knocking it down. The first goes on to become an architect or a filmmaker. The second becomes a demolitions expert or a film critic. 😂
I’m being a little facetious here, but I reckon there’s some truth in that. In a similar way, you have people who dedicate their lives to protecting life on Earth, and others who are dedicated to nothing more than their own personal wealth, regardless of how much damage it causes.
I guess the question I’m building up to is this… Which kind of person is Apple? 😐

Before the iPhone, the sort of "stylus" in question was a scratty little telescopic matchstick that you had to use because the icons on the tiny screen on your Windows Phone screen were too small to press with your finger. Decent styli more like the Pencil did exist - as part of expensive Wacom digitiser tablets that you might buy to run Painter or other pro software on your Mac, but doing that sort of thing on an iDevice was a long way away.
No, I want to witness you using your brain. 😆
Here’s another example of you forcing bogus political rhetoric into the conversation. Did anyone suggest canceling anyone or anything? No. You brought that in. And have I said I’m discontented? No. That’s a attack that you initiated.
My comment stands. I know lots of metal musicians who don’t destroy their gear. They respect it more than that and in case you don’t know, amps, basses, guitars, drum kits? They’re expensive. Most musicians aren’t rich. They can’t afford to just destroy their instruments. I know. I’m a bassist myself.
Ah, the petite insults commence. You had to fall eventually.
Exiting with an insult on your lips doesn’t really constitute a win. Stop insulting people and dragging out lame political commentary if you don’t want pushback.
Come on. You want to claim that you're the victim. 😆
I thought it was a brilliant ad, but shockingly enough, people from all corners of humanity were clutching at their pearls, including those who typically over-accuse other people of clutching their pearls (even when they are the real pearl-clutchers).
Yeah, had a few mojitos at a late work lunch today...

It's a little late to claim the high road.
False charge again. I haven’t insulted you. But you have called me “woke,” a “snowflake,” said I was expressing “faux outrage,” “discontent,” and about a half dozen other false things. But you already know that.
Oh, and I’m pretty sure you don’t grasp what term “the pot calling the kettle black” actually means since you’ve applied it inappropriately several times now.
Cherished creative achievements getting crushed by a Big Tech company in favor of an expensive AI-driven aluminum slab? Of course this ad was going to leave a bad taste in many people's mouths. Apple's marketing should be celebrating achievements, not focusing on the destruction of them. The ad fumbled its message.
Nah, the add was a bit odd, thats all. OTOH, from a pure popcorn perspective, nothing will ever top the “Mother Nature“ skit. The entertainment value, off the charts. If he survived that he’s Teflon coated.
Wrong. The complaint is “you made an ad that goes against what we’ve been told Apple stands for.” Big difference.
The sensitivity people exhibit on here regarding others' perceived sensitivities is striking.
"Oh no, my trillion-dollar company faced criticism! How could this possibly happen to me?!"
