Who cares? The point is that I didn’t have to switch my user habits and switching to a Mac literally solved all of my computer issues.

Why wouldn’t they though? If Macs were so easy to crack wouldn’t hackers want to take advantage of that 10%? It sounds so much easier.

Using Windows

Well, you’re wrong.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. I live in LA, some of the clubs out here do like a $25,000 bottle service. I still think it’s absurd though. :-/

Yep, which is why I prefaced my story by saying it was anecdotal. The thing is though, I didn’t change my web browsing habits when I got my Mac. So for me getting the Mac was clearly the right choice.

Regardless, Macs give the appearance and impression of being more secure. This is anecdotal, but I was a long-time Windows user and Mac hater. From 1998-2008 I would go through my annual routine of wiping my HD and doing a clean install of Windows due to my OS being completely riddled with viruses every 12 months.…

While they clean their guns.

Did you mean “size”?

“Festival-goers paid anywhere from $450 for a no-frills day pass to up to $250,000 for the full VIP experience.”

So how to go about convincing the other side to agree with you? Do you shout them down or do you engage with them and try to educate them?

“I can’t ​think of *any* music festival I’d pay $5,000, let alone $12,000, to attend.”

“I wore some Indian (well, from India) clothes at a traditional Indian wedding. My father wore African garb when he visited Africa and it was seen as a positive thing.”

I don’t feel strongly about this issue and I see valid points on both sides, but I wanted to point out that a sombrero is a cultural symbol, a cowboy hat isn’t. Blue jeans, sun glasses, and deodorant aren’t cultural symbols either.

I don’t necessarily disagree, though I think most of that can be attributed to the fandom. What I like about the UC is having everything set in the same universe creates a nice sense of connection and history. With the AU shows they wipe the slate clean every year or two and restart. It just doesn’t give me that same…

I hope there were $250,000 packages, and I hope none of those people ever get refunded. If you’re stupid enough to spend a quarter of a million dollars on a weekend festival to see Blink 182 you don’t deserve to have that money.

This reference never gets old :)

God that press release is depressing. Can this whole fucking festival scene die already?

It’s nothing like that. Should a chef not eat their own food? Should a photographer not hang their own photos in their home?

Your statement is contradictory. You acknowledged that many artists make music they want to hear, yet are confused why they’d want to listen to it?
