the apple iphone 11

I have an iphone, the battery sux balls

You mean the Apple iPhone XI

Im never going iphone again

if you don't wanna waste money for my amusement

I'm still proposing Nokia

ye nokia is prolly most efficient

No security breaches, because there is no data to get on it

Battery life is like a week

no one uses them, so no money to be had in trying to develop software to hack 😉

Ok il try to remember nokia

Apples and iPhones are at a real trouble rn.

as we're entering the post iPhone era, as the smartphone market is in stagnation

they really need to find an alternate income resource.

But, why are apples in trouble?

Fruit is still consumed in the post iPhone era, right?

muh bad.

Question: if a close friend is going to do something you are pretty sure will atleast partially ruin their life in the long run but they are committed to doing it, do you try to explain why they probably shouldnt or just respect their choice. Im awfully conflicted

You should explain that they probably shouldn't do it, but also respect their intelligence and their freedom to make their own mistakes

If you happen to be able to convince them to do otherwise, that's great. If you were wrong and it happens to go well, that's great too. If they go the complete wrong way and become insufferable, then the consequence might be that you have to do the selfish thing and drop them.

This is a pretty big mistake tho

Not impossible to come back from but

They might be stuck in a situation where they are miserable

Well, not every person is going to be successful in life if they decide to make the wrong choice. It sucks when it's a friend that it happens to, but that's just how the world is

For decades

If they're commited to doing it, nothing you say will change their mind

You can't shield the person you care for from personal responsibility

:/

True

You'll just have to wait and be available when they are vulnerable

But that doesn't mean you can't support them, and try to help them, to the extent that you're capable of.

Trying to proactively disapprove of the something they're doing simply reduces the possibility of them coming to you for help when tragedy strikes

Im doing my best

But

All you can do is your best Maddie

And that's all you need to do

Its just hard
