This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I stopped reading when it said “$2000 paperweights”. You can dislike Apple for any number of reasons, but this doesn’t make sense. Its products work just fine and they run the software that’s on them.
It becomes a paperweight once you install the software updates.
No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.
Bro what? It's a greentext - it's 4chan. They all need theraphy.
Sure, but does nobody know what a paperweight is?
No, they probably don't 😅 just like floppy disks. The term now generally means "useless"

Urban dic implies heavily on apple products too
That is literally the exact definition I am trying to explain to these worthless dumbfucks.
"Functional machine" is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as "functional" :)
We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.
Cultist detected
Seems like the anti-cultist are the real cultist
Yes. The person who correctly points out that functional computers are not paperweights is a cultist. If you legitimately believe that, you need a whole lot worse than prison.
Apple don't make computers, they make wealth extractors.
Apple hate threads don't contain main truths.
Consumers complaining about the products they don't buy is how they justify their choices. Literally no more complicated that than.
Like watching people who buy mega blok, complaining about how Lego sucks because mega block has a better ramps. Also, they once stepped on a Lego and they have a conspiracy theory around it.
