I don't understand. What does FIRE have to do with "elderly"? "Early retirement age" has a specific meaning in law in the US, being 62.

> ...placing their core audience as Gen X, which is reasonably elderly...

Wikipedia says that Gen X was born 1965 to 1980. They are therefore aged 61 to 46. Not one of them has hit early retirement age in the US.

Great math!

You overlooked the sentient-omnivore-who-leaves-makeshift-toilet-paper disgust multiplier.

If that factor is set to 100 (consider how inoffensive horse pucky is vs finding a year-old's soiled diaper) then we're talking 0.01% of 115K humans matches the horses.

That's only 11.5. Did 12 people drop one in Central Park today? That's one duece for every 70 acres.

I mean, there's human shit in Central Park. I once watched some genteel ladies hilariously clean up before an Easter egg hunt one morning. Surprise!

If you want to prioritize removing one type of Central Park shit, the list is probably human then dog then pigeon then horse.

So are they the worst ever, or, like, just probably? If you are going to say something, don't weasel.

Triply bamboozled. The argument assumes one only ever wants to open the menu for the currently active application. With 2 or more applications there's a richer space of possibilities.

It's like the OP only watched the 1984 advertisement and has no knowledge of the intervening 42 years.

You're outraged that Apple is exerting control over its closed ecosystem?

It's... Apple.

You surrendered this control long ago. There were and are alternatives.
