  • I like to imagine that most intelligent species of the universe evolved from eusocial insect analogues or herd animals or solitary predators, and our weird tribal ape habit of domesticating and pack bonding with various predator species - and our general attitude that large predators are cool and exciting to be around because as we evolved domestication we modified our own brains to have positive associations with potentially domesticatible species - freaks them the fuck out.

    It’s like every other alien species is the Utah Conservation Department’s Twitter page warning people not to pet mountain lions and we’re all yelling “but if not friend, why friend shaped” at the whole universe.


  • iOS devs on the other hand often only support the newest version of iOS, so if your device doesn’t get new OS updates any more, you can toss it.

    And the newest versions of iOS only run smoothly on the newest iPhone hardware, so if you want your phone to keep running quickly and smoothly you have to keep updating to the newest hardware. Planned obsolescence in action.
