As an Android user, I'll offer my side to this:
If I had a dollar for every time a friend or family member asked, "Why don't you just get an iPhone?" I could probably buy the newest iPhone. Added pain that I'm Gen Z in the US where something like 80-90% of people my age use an iPhone.
I swear most of the time people treat having an Android phone as something that needs some sort of defense because they think there's no reason anyone would possibly consider buying anything other than an iPhone.
I always knew those candies as jawbreakers (should be self-explanatory based on the above description) so it might be also be a regional/generational thing
Western atheism and antitheism often exist as reactions to Christianity on a factual or ethical basis, while remaining within a Christian cultural and moral context. Historically, Christians and atheists have worked together to attack other religions, such as in the case of the stolen generations in Australia or the cult panic in America.
You brought in atheism right here though??

Your sample size is 1. Sure, you can get a phone that won't have battery swelling after 5-10 years. My old Samsung S9+ doesn't have any swelling yet, and I've had it since around when it came out in 2018. Whether or not swelling happens to any given phone is more or less down to luck. You might want to avoid Samsung phones to be safe though because there was that whole battery swelling issue with almost every phone from the S20 downwards a few years ago. Other than that I don't think there's much of a difference*
*Probably something to look for reports/statistics on though
I agree with this in general, and wanted to add onto it a bit:
I'm Atheist but I honestly couldn't care less what others believe in. If believing in a god or an afterlife helps you get through your life easier, than why not? Why try to tell someone else what religious or cultural belief is right or wrong when we're all just making our best guesses anyway?
Believe in whatever afterlife you want, so long as that belief doesn't make everyone else's lives worse. The moment you start trying to push religion and culture onto people, you're no better than any other form of cultural imperialism.
I'm sad my favorite gen is being skipped, I was really hoping for a legends Kyurem game that went into the idea of the original dragon. Legends Z-A still looks pretty interesting though.
You'll have to settle for naming your child after one of their public keys, but then your child will only be able to talk to them.
Oh true I didn't realize the semicolons were missing (that's what the compiler errors are for)
Could also be rust (no parens on ifs there either), kind of hard to tell with just an if statement and some function calls
This sounds like a problem that would be covered in an algorithms class.
Something something knapsack problem, dynamic programming, something something
Hi, it's me, the intern refactoring the spaghetti .NET core backend. I'm not in a basement though. AMA
To your first point, it isn't really an "offer." I don't think I've ever complained about having an Android phone, because I've genuinely liked my Android phones way more than my old iPhone. It pretty commonly comes up whenever communication is involved though because I end up being blamed for not having FaceTime, iMessage, etc. even though most of those problems come from Apple only supporting a messaging standard from the early 90s with Android phones.
To your second point, there are memes though. They're probably not as common on here because the demographic that uses lemmy (or even Reddit to some degree) is more likely to have an Android phone for various reasons. Look up "android camera meme" if you want a clear example of something that usually isn't even true.
I'm not going to go after anyone for using an Apple product, because I can see why someone would use one over Android. But Apple tends to attract people that will blindly defend their bad decisions (no headphones jack, no charger, slow refresh-rate screens on everything but the $1000 model, etc.).
This isn't to say there aren't similar people defending companies like Samsung, Google, etc. Apple just attracts these people at a whole different level. This meme is obviously hyperbole but to be fair you could make this meme about any obnoxious fan group and it would be just as true.
